We, therefore, secured a tract of land for experimental purposes and at considerable risk and expense, brought in a carload containing over 1,100 sacks of roots which we planted. When the crop was assured, we bought and erected a modern distillery, and at present, are busy extracting the oil from THE FIRST CROP OF MINT GROWN IN KLAMATH COUNTY. : M U What We Propose To Do Having passed the experimental stage in growing the plant and knowing the attractive profits obtained from the sale of the oil, and having also assured ourselves of a ready market for our product, WE WERE FORTUNATE IN BEING ABLE TO SECURE BY HJRCHASE OVER 1300 ACRES of the finest marsh land tH the County. A gejtt percentage of this land is now ready for p'lantingi hvaitig been seeded 18 potatoes arid grain during the present year. It is the intention of the Company to plant to he different varieties of PEPPERMINT, this whole tract just as quickly as labor conditions will permit We are also in THE VERY FORTUNATE POSITION of having the roots on hand sufficient to replant 1000 acre to mint next year.. This amount of nursery stock having been grown on our Eagle Ridge experimental tract this year, and we plan to use as much of this nursery stock for this fall's planting on our Caledonia tract as we can conveniently handle. Actual planting will begin the early part of October and continue until weather conditions stop our operations for the winter. In the spring,, however our mint planting will resume, and it is our earnest desire to have in crop for 1921 from 250 to 500 acres of MINT alone, to say nothing of our other crops consisting of 300 or 400 acres of Rye, Barley, Wheat, Potatoes, Etc 1ST, BECAUSE. 2nd, BECAUSE: 3RD, BECAUSE: We Invite You To Come and observe for yourself our operations from and after October 1 st, as well as get first hand knowledge of our project and the wonderful opportunity we have in store for you, 'through our decision to offer within a short time, ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF STOCK in order that we may push this new and most promising enterprise as fast as good husbandry would suggest, thereby insuring for our ORIGINAL INVESTORS, who will compose this company, steady and attractive profits from the very beginning. From the foregoing FACTS, it should be apparent to anyone interested, that this company, the first in the local field, has a bright future, chiefly for the following reasens: , We have had experience in growing mint under local conditions. We have 1300 acres of the finest land to be had, anywhere in the country, which is particularly adapted to mint growing, as our demonstrations have proven. THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET TO THE SUCCESS OF THE WHOLE PROPOSITION, is MINT ROOTS with which to seed our acreage, and we have SUFFICIENT ROOTS ON OUR GROUND, locally grown, TO PLANT OUR ENTIRE TRACT.
