W. 8lemeas and other local resi dent, Mr. Davles recently organis ed the Klamath Mint comsaay, which purchased 2600 acres of ta Caledonia marsh. Nursery stock Is being grown to. supply roots for planting the portion ot the tract silt- able for mint, about 1600 acres. The) company purposes, says Mr. Davles. to have the entire acreage In mlat within the next three years. His statement In regard to the pos sible deterrent effect of climate oa Klamath's future was a reply to a direct question, based on a state ment recently by O. If. Todd, another Willamette valley grower who haa been Investigating Klamath county marsh lands. ,Any frosts that might touch tho mint plants In September or October wouid, be too light to damage them, sajs Mr. Darles. He says that ho harvested frosted mint on the Col umJb'la'rlvertkat ran -40. pounds Of oil to theaersfaad had a menthol contest of mora thai 0 per cent, tan. per oent above ta ataadard set ky the Ualted Suits sliarsMcoepla.

In fact he has sold his Wll- lametto holdings and now calls Klamath county home. ' Tho Klamath Mint company haa 000 worth of Its $200,000 stock is sue and the state commissioner ot corporations haa indicated that a permit will bo granted. The. stock will be placed on the market withlm the next fortnight, said Mr. Davles. Plana hare been drawn for a dis tillery, which will have a capacity sufficient to handle the crop from about 15 acres daily. This plant will be built in Klamath Falls, but prob ably not until next spring. This year's crop will bo bandied by a dis tillery which Is now being built for Captain Siemens, James Watklns, Jr. aad O. W. Mattern, wno planted acres of mint at Eagle Ridge last spring. Tho metal parts of tho still are being mado In Eugene aad will soon bo ready tor shipment. The Eagle Rldgo tract bears a Ban stand ot xclat says Mr. Darles, who has Just returned from the ranch. He left today for Eugene oa various matters of business connected with mint culture. Unquestionably, he stated, Klam ath county will be the mint growing center of the United States within- tho next few years. Eastern mint lands, he said, are wearing out. Michigan, the leading producer, has been growing mint tor CO years and production Is now down to about 25 pounds an acre. Michigan growers, dcsplte'thls small production, about halt the average Oregon production per acre, and the high price ot land, which runs from $300 to $500 am acre, find mint growing highly prof itable.
