He was knocked out ia jig time on his first appearance here but did not offer any alibis. On his second appearance, before bet ter man. he was gwen the decision. He took more or less punishment on this occasion. There was nothing yei- low hued in the way he fough- or in the way he took the ai9erse decision on his first appearance But to The Patriot reporter al the ringside Sunny did not appear to be killer. He did not appear to have the fighting heart that is necessary if a boxer IS to climb to the top of the ladder. He lacked the desire to annihilate his opponent and his features alone de- noted that he did not possess the semi killing instinct that makes the top notch fighter But this is noI saying or insinuating that Sunny # yellow. He deserves better than that. IL IS untrue. as Putnam fight fans, who saw him in his two local engagements, will testify But as for Sunny having the ability Co pull down any big purs- es for himself and his manager in the caulifower game we have our doubts

Hears That Putnam Fight Fans Think
 Sunny Mays Is Yellow

Just as The Patriot was going to press last Friday afternoon we got a phone call from Webster. IL was Joe Marcustry on the other end of the wire Joe is the present manager of the l65 pound colored boy, Sunny Mays. formerly of Danielson, now of the Lake City over the Massachua- etts line. Joe was plainly peeved not to say angry.
 The former baseball. basket ball star. all around sportsman and pres ent manager of the colored boxer was up in the air" for some one had told him that Putnam fight fans were calling his i65 pound protegee "yel- low" because he did not appear at the last meet of the Putnam Sporting Club. lf anyone called Sunny any thing that could be construed as ad- verse to his gameness it has not come to the ears of the editor of this col- umn.

Continued from front page)
for the five-year period, 1919 to
1924, averaged around $3.50 per
pound
From the experience of grow
ers in southwestern Washington
and the Willamette valley in Ore
gon, It seems that higher produc-
ton per acre can be obtained here
than in the east, provided, OF
course, that the soil is suitable.
am also told that the percent of
menthol and esthers is higher in
the western oil than the oil pro-
duced in the east. Rich bottom land
or muck land along the Columbia
river has produced as high as 80
or 60 pounds per acre and you
probably have locations in Lewis
county where this can be duplicat-
ed. The average yield would, no
doubt, be less than that. The rich,
sandy loam bottom land or muck
land such as the tidelands, make
good mint soil. The stills vary in
price, running from 500 to $1,000.
As to the production per acre, I
am unable to help you, as do not
know of any figures in the west
concerning this point. I know that
when the oil was worth So per
pound a few years ago, many
growers felt that there was a very
small margin of profit in the bus
mess.
"There is a boom in mint Gull
ture all over the state of Wash
ington. Recently there has been
organized a company at Kenne-
wick to plant considerable acreage
there. The Kittitas and Yakima
valleys are also interested and we
have had many inquiries from
western Washington, as to the adj
visibility of extending the plant
ings. Personally, I think that this
boom is a very decided mistake.
Growers who have roots to sell, of
course, reap profit in selling to
the new planters and I am quite
sure that any considerable extern
sion of our paintings would be
