Is Adapted For the Growth of Mint . (Continued from page one) especially ; interested in the Moyock section of Currituck county where about 70 acres of American peppermint are under cultivation. The survey reveals that this state has three princi pal advantages over the big pep permint states of Indiana 'and Michigan. In the first place, two cuttings of herb may be made yearly in this , state, per mitting a larger average yield of oil and less possibilities of a crop failure due to adverse weather conditions. Thi3 also makes for a larger quantity of spent herb, which provides an excellent stock feed. Due to the mildness of the climate and long growing season, there is no dan ger of winter weather killing the plants, as is the case in cold er climes. And, finally the soil, while muck land like that of the Indiana-Michigan districts, is much richer and firmer. This, of . course, permits better growths and renders cultivation more simple. , , Crop Has Big Value Peppermint is next . to wood turpentine in- the tonnage of oil produced and the market value. It is a crop well worth consider ing when it is realized than on an average 350,000 pounds of oil are distilled annually, which shows a return of at least $1, 225,000 a year. These, figures are based on an average return of $3.50 a pound. Two years ago, however, the price rose to $40 a pound and at that time an acre of land produced in North Carolina $1600 worth of oil. Humble Start in This State Nine years ago Joseph Slau- bagh, a member of the Mennon ite sect, migrated from Starke County, Ohio, to take up land at the edge,, of theTDismal Swamp, one mile west of Moyock, in Cur rituck county. He had learned the method of i cultivation of mint from his brothers in In diana and he had also observed the methods of members of an other religious sect known as Ammish, who control nearly all of the peppermint farVns in In diana, reaping a handsome prof it from peppermint farming. With two cigar boxes' of roots as his initial stock, he starred his first bed. t After the first year' he had enough plants to satisfy the archaic social pur- ' iose of a Southern colonel. Peppermint grows quickly, sending off runners ' from the roots. From these runners new plants' shoot up. Slaubagh con tinued his plantings from year td year until he had a farm of 25 acres under cultivation. Last year he sold his farm to H., J. Kurtz, another member of his sect. Slaubagh had made enough money to buy more land and build a new home next to his old home. His new place has modern conveniences. He al ready has 30 acres of mint and is getting ground ready for fur ther planting. Several other . farmers- are' just starting out with from one to ten acres under cultivation. A few years ago a movement was under way to colonize the hsection with Mennonites, and a large acreage was secured, but Mr. Slaubagh said it fell through because the promoters did npt live up to the drainage contract. v Good Printing Done Here in Chapel Hill When you want printing done, call at The Orange Printshop".
