PEPPERMINT OIL ADVANCES TO $13 MARK
HIGH PRICE TO
RESULT IN BIG
PLANTING HER
E
With peppermint oil reaching the
fabulous sum of $13 a pound to
the grower, Dan J. Kry, probubly
tne largest oil buyer on tne coust
ma tie estimate today that new acre
ago of mint plantings next Anring
probably will aggregate ae high
an 1000 acres, with over 600 acre
of new plantings practically defin
itely asHured, and the .tigher fig
tne of 1000 acres seeming almost
a certainty. At the present time
at a rough estimate there are 500
acrea In peppermint In thle section
of the stale.
In addition to the planting In
Lablsh Meadows, peppermint 1h
grown in the Santlam Bottoms
near Talbot, Sidney, west of Jef
ferson Bt-.ft also in Lane county, in
addition there are about 100 acre
out In mint In the neighborhood oi
I'ortlund.
While there will be new plant
Intra In Lubish Meadows, just how
extensive these will be remain
problematical, an the larger share
of those Jandfl are under lense to
Japanese for onion and celery and
lettuce, and the rental basis Is so
. high there Is a question whether
owners would consider a proposi
tion of overturning such leases 1
any large extent for mint plant
ings. The $13 a pound price Is a world
record beater. When the heavy
ales were on a few months ago
and the price of $11.05 a pound
was announced there was a gasp
heard. The average price during
the preceding 10 years had been
In the neighborhood of $3 a pound,
knd the $11.05 price was almost
unbellovablo until verified by the
people buying. The greatest quan
tity of the crop was purchased by
Dan j, Kry. since unit time tin
price has been steadily climbing,
but Fry states there soema little
question but the IZ price indicate
the peak of the market to th
grower. The average production
to about 30 pounds to the acre,
which means $390 an acre at the
present price.
The enormous price paid per
pound is the direct cause for the
sudden desire on part of grower
to expand with their affreage n
If all of the new acreage now talk
ed of l put In, It will mean that
next year there Is fully three times
As much mint growing in Oregon
n this year. The mint la harvest
ed the first year after planting
and It le staled there Is virtually
a certainty of at least double the
crop next year that there Is this
year.
