Am'May  W2iarm'}      Report  of  iooth  Annual  Meeting.  349 
pounds  after  distillation  produced  27,000  kilos  or  59,525  pounds  of 
peppermint  essence  valued  at  6,000,000  lire. 
The  demand  for  Piedmont  peppermint  greatly  exceeds  the^ 
production,  and  the  local  distillers  are  endeavoring  to  increase  the 
annual  supply  by  promising  higher  prices  to  the  cultivators.  For 
the  1920  crop,  the  distillers  paid  30  lire  per  quintal  (220  pounds) 
for  peppermint  leaves. 
It  is  stated  that  the  crop  for  192 1  will  be  approximately  20  per 
cent,  larger  than  the  1920  crop,  owing  to  the  increased  prices  offered.
