Twombly o f Garfield, who is one o f the pioneers in the culture o f peppermint in this state, is now anxious to interest others in the growing o f this profitable medicinal crop. As the success o f this industry, as is the case in others, is largely due to the production o f the oil in sufficient quantities to attract the buyers from distant points, Mr. Twombly is making the fo l lowing special offer to any farm ers in this section, who will plant and care for an acreage: he will furnish free this fall, all o f the plants necessary, having on hand sufficient to cover ten acres. Mr. Twombly advises planting in October, in half to acre patches, with a profitable crop returned the coming season. It is reported that the Stanley Turel ranch in upper Dodge was recently traded, with the Turel f amily moving to California w ith in a few weeks.
