RAIN IS FALLING AT SALEM
DAMAGE IS FEARED TO HOP
AND PRUNE CROPS.
Growers Are an Anxious Lot, and
Pickers Have Just Begun
Pitching Tents.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 31. (Special.) Rain
began falling here tonight with indica
tions of continuance for 24 hours at least.
Barometers are down, and after a sultry
afternoon a light wind sprung up from
the south, which is generally considered
'a sure indication of rain. The outlook
Is therefore more discouraging than ever
for hopgrowers. and the prunegrowers
are beginning to be anxious. Prunes have
just begun to drop, and there is a light
'first drop" now on the ground. Many
growers, expect to begin picking by the
middle of next week, which is nearly two
weeks earlier than usual.
The danger is that a rain will cause
the fruit to drop faster than the driers
can handle it, as was the case last year.
Krult in the tree Is hardly ripe enough
to be in danger of cracking, but a few
days' rain might cause damage in that
respect.
Hop pickers went to the yards in large
numbers today, and will scarcely have
their tents ready tonight for a rain. A
storm will not only damage the hops,
which are already molding, but will dis
courage the pickers. Hopgrowers and
prunegrowers in the Willamette Valley
are an anxious lot of people tonight.
