Oregon’s New Industry
DO YOU KNOW that there is under way on Klamath County’s rich Marsh Lands, a project that is destined to become .one of thd
LARGEST and most PROFITABLE industries in the State of Oregon^
DO YOU KNOW that the Soil and Climatic conditions on thede Marsh Lands are NATURALLY adapted to the growing of the
different varieties of PEPPERMINT, as was thoroughly demonstrated the past year?
DO YOU KNOW that as a result of these demonstrations and the superior grade of PEPPERMIN OIL produced, it is predicted
by the Pioneer Mintgrower of Michigan, and the biggest buyer of Mint Oils in the United States, who recently viewed our overa-i
Jions, that “ Klamath County will within a very short time, control the Mint Production of the entire United States, and fix the
Mint price of the world?
DO YOU KNOW that 40 pounds of Mint Oil per acre was produced on these lands last year—that this oil tested 65 per cent Men
thol content, as against 36 to 42 per cent Menthol found in Eastern oils—that there is a constant demand for the oil that we call
produce, and at a price ranging from 75 cents to $1.50 per poun d higher than is usually paid for Mint Oil produced in other part i
of the United States?
DO YO UKNOW that OIL OF PEPPERMINT is being produced on these Marsh Lands of Klamath County on a wholesale scale
and that the companies now operating should reach a maximu in production of 250,000 pounds of Mint Oil annually within a very
short time—that Mint Oil sold for $9.00 per pound last year, while the average price for 40 years has been around $3.00 per pound
