Big Insurance Rate Reduction In Sight For Cedarvillians Mr. Collins Wight, engineer o- the waterworks system, reports that he lias been in conference with the Ohio Insurance RatekmcTInspection Bureau and that Cedarville will get a big re­ duction in insurance rates following the completion and test o f the water system. • - ^ . Mr. Wight says he has been in­ formed that we are to have a reduc­ tion o f 42 per cent on insurance on dwellings that are not regarded a hazard risk. Household goods and fixtures Will be reduced 21 per cent. No figures are yet available fo r business property tas,business houses are a special clas: rtJMttthw ture and what It is used for. There is no question but that wc will get reductions but on a guess not over 25 per cent. This was the reduction on business property in Yellow Springs. Property owners will welcome this news as the reduction promised is on line with claims mufie months ago if the people approved waterworks. Over a period o f years the water­ works system would pay for itself in saving on insurance rates and yet give the town better protection.

FarmTruckOwners Oppose New Law Greene county farmers that have trucks have not yet been convinced by the legislative agent o f the Farm Bureau, Mr. Dyer, that the sew truck­ ing law is a good thing for the farm­ er. A meeting of farmers in the county was held at the court house Tuesday evening when J. D. Landis of Brookville, Ohio, secretary of the Truck Owner’s Association, urged farmers to oppose the present law in the courts until the legislature next meets. Several weeks ago Dyer spoke in Xenia and defended the now law which farmers contend is nothing but creating a trust for trucks licensed by the Public Utilities Commission. Farmers now are beating the law by using various underhanded methods, but they seriously object to submis­ sion to tlie present law.'

A, R. will he held at the Covenant Presbyterian church, Spring- field, October 1st at 10 A. M. Lunch* con 75c. Leave reservations with Mrs, West not later than Sept. 28. During the latter part o f July and early in August the crop is harvested for distillation. A mowing machine is used to cut the hay. Stalks are left to dry and cure in the sun. They are then raked into windrows, ready to be hauled away. After being properly cured, the peppermint hay is then hauled to the distilling plant. Here it is placed in two large airtight cylindrical vats’ for compression and steaming. These two cylinders will hold, between 1200 and 1500 pounds of the peppermint hay. For 45 minutes the hay is steamed under a pressure o f 75 to 80 pounds of steam, The steam and oil together are then run through 125 feet o f coil, over which cold water continually passes. . The oil and condensed steam then empties into a galvanized steel tank, the mint oil rising to the top and the water passing out through a pipe. About 150 pounds o f oil can be dis­ tilled in one day. Even after being steamed the hay is still o f use as fertilizer o r as feed for cows and horses. If the. hay is to be used for feed, it is again hauled to the field and dried before being stored away in a barn. Five men usually ^constitute the crew in operation of the entire pro­ ject o f distilling. This distillery is the only one in operation in central Ohio, although several other farmers in the vicinity have indicated that they expect to erect one next year. Another big item in the distilling of the mint is plenty o f cold water. This problem- has been solved by Moore, who constructed liis still near n combination water-gas well. The water is used for the boiler and to Ohio, was virtually forced by a rela­ tive, has proven to be one o f the richest industries in Hardin county. That industry is peppermint grow­ ing, formerly an occupation fo r west­ ern fields only, which is proving to be the best paying activity o f Hardin county farmers and which within a few years is expected to rival the onions in acreage now, planted in the Scioto and Hog creek marshlands. Moore had been approached a num­ ber o f times by his brother, Johr: Moore, to utilize part o f his marsh­ land farm to grow pepperment. At first he was skeptical, but finally was persuaded, and now his is the largest industry o f its kind in Ohio. In 1924, Moore first started the raising of the product on a small scale, planting only two acres. This year the crop covered approximately 80 acres of land which will probably yield 30 pounds of the peppermint oil to the acre. Next year he will expand still fur­ ther in the business, when he expects to plant 50 additional acres. A t the present time the price of the oil is $3.80 a pound. According to Moore, this price is low and he ex­ pects to hold his product until later in the year, when the price usually goes higher, sometimes to $5 a pound. Several times during the late World war the peppermint oil sold as high as $10 a pound, according to Moore The job of planting the peppermint is one that requires much labor and much mom«*patiencc. In October or early in/November the peppermint root is planted. The roots are planted in rows, and before it is ripe enough to cut a close inspection is necessary to recognize it from a field o f pota­ toes. Planting is done in rows spaced cool the coils. feet apart, which are cultivated' Besides the 80-nere- peppermint constantly to keep down the weeds, farm belonging to Moore, 18 addition* The roots are first plowed out of al acres have been planted this year the ground with the use o f a potato by other interests in the same digger.
