ST. HELENS. OREGON
The hop season in Oregon started
last week with an army of over
10,000 people who will earner the
crop this year. The crop this year
will amount to about 130000 bales,
which is valued at $5,000,000, this
placing Oregon first among all the
hop producing states in the union,
averaging about 40 per cent of the
total output of the United States.
The crop is of a better quality than
for years past, according to promi
nent growers. Growers are ex
pecting big prices for their crops
this year, quite a number having
contracted their output for 20 cents
a pound. Last weeks rains, while
temporarily embarrassing the pick
ers, greatly benefitted the hops in
both quality and weight.
Each of Oregon's varied Indus
tries was represented at a meeting
of the 1915 Fair Commission held
at the Portland Commercial Club
last Friday. The meeting lasted all
aiternoon, and the commissioners
secured much enlightenment upon
how to show off the state to the
best advantage at the Panama-Pa
cific Exposition. Sentiment ex
pressed seemed to favor appealing
to each of the several counties of
the state for exhibits of local
products, but net to make county
exhibits at the fair; to use the best
and most representative exhibits,
not in the Oregon building, but in
the buildings set aside for special
purposes, where the state's product
ill come into competition with
those of other states and countries;
to present as much life and anima
tion in the Oregon building exhibits
as possible, and tn offer moving
picture exhibits of the various in
dustries of the state, so that visi
and entertained there; to nerve con I
Oregon proilucU, and to emphasize
those advantages most likely to in
duce the plain people to establixh
their future homes in the state.
One of the representatives present
gave assurance that Union County
was willing to furnish a complete
display of its products free of
charge.
