Peppermint Oil Is Stored in Indiana Bank Vault

Growers of One of State’s Most Valuable Crops Don’t Take Chances. Bu United Press ROANN, Ind., Dec. I.—Vaults, of the Roann bank here are the storerooms for one of Indiana’s most valuable oil. Ira Heagy and his son, who recently entered the peppermint business, keep their treasure in the bank because it is costly and could easily be stolen. A ready market for the mint crop is found in the north near Nappanee and Breman. Most of the oil from these two cities is shipped to New York. Various kinds of cigarets, candies, chewing gum, salves, cream and lotions contain the mint flavor. Mint is usually found near lakes or where a lake once existed. It is an important crop in the muck regions of Indiana. It is generally believed mint grows from seeds, but upon investigation it was revealed it grows from roots planted in furrows. The crop must be weeded out by hand. Old mint is harvested during the third week of July and new mint is cut about the middle of August. By,

wheel brakes and bumpers which are standard equipment. See how the lines of the windows and doors have been changed to give an appearance of lowness. The wheels in this model are not wire wheels; the spokes are in reality thin steel tubes, said to give added strength. Standard gear shift is a feature of the new model. The gas tank is " under the cowl; see the’cap in front of the windshield?

this time the old mint is ready for a second cutting. Rain has little effect on the crop. However, a high wind might blow the shallow-rooted product from the ground. After harvesting, the mint is placed in large vats and tamped down. An airtight lid is placed over the vats and the steam turned on for about forty-five minutes. Each vat full gives about eight to ten pounds of oil. About three vats to the acre is the limit. Although the oil greatly resembles water, it is about one-half pound to the gallon lighter than water.
