California's I'rmlnetlon Will be Helow
That of Last Vear.
Men interested in hot are saying the
otiilook (or fair prices lor the urowing
crop is urowing brlliter. The stocks on
hand are liecoiniun small, lays the
Htnlcamnn, even the very poorest grades
beimi aldiuied awar, and the present In
dications are for a smaller yield, at least
in this country, than last year. Now
the thing to do is to take care of the
growing crop, and see tnat a choice
quality is put into the bales after pick
ing time.
There are prospects of a short hop
crop iitX'alifornia says the Telegram.
A worm has served lo keep back the
growth ol the vines by eating the sprout!
as they apfiear above the ground, and
unless the vines mature very rapidly,
trretvi will not tie more than three
quarters of a full crop.
This information is the result of the
observation of A, J. Hay, the well known
annul of J. M. Hussel A Co., who has
iut returned from a visit to the bop dis
tricts of California.
"According to the most reliable esti
mates at hand," said Mr. Kay, "the 1000
crop will reach 47,000 bales. Laat year's
crop agxreguted 6(1,000 Imlus, of which
there are slill 500 bales unmoved In the
hands of the growers. Contracts hsve
been nmdu for 0000 bnlea of tho new
crop at from 0 lo 10 cents.
' 1 he tltllercnt associations ol I ulllor-H
nla met recently to discuss plans for
limiting the acriio and reducing the
piuld but each section was afraid to
trust the other and the thing fell Ihrotwh
of its own accord.
"The hop vines in California are not
half so far advanced as those in Oregon.
A great many hills have not yet sprouted.
The growers atrihute the backward
growth to the ravages of a cutworm,
which eats of the shoots as they appear
almvo the ground. It Ii the first ap
pearance of this character of worm so
far as known and pur.sles growers, be
sides causing them considerable appre
hension. "While the crop is backward it must
not lie forgotten that the climate of Cal
ifornia is a 'forcing' one and may mature
tho vineH rapidly after they once start
growing. I was told I hut vines tied up
as late as JtHie 23 have been known to
yield a fair crop."
Mr. liny suit! in siiHwer to a question
that according to his latest advices there
were 10,000 bales of hops remaining un
sold in Oregon and 1500 bales of those
were unsalable.
A well known dealer in Portland esti
mates that there will be a shortage this
year of 41,000 bales in the United States.
Choice 1000 hops will be worth money.
According to present forecasts, based on
advices from reliable sources, the world!
crop will be short. It Is too soon to get
a complete detailed statement, as the
advices from England and Germany will
be partly guess work uutil later in the
san.
jful,4!ijiwral idoa" of the situation
iffltjoo gained, and facts enough are at
tfatidto prove that the output will be
short Hops have already been con
tracted for at 0 and 10 cents, and in one
section growers want 15 cents from con
tracting parties,
Reports from England say the vines
are backward, and look sickly and will
need specially favored conditions to
bring the crop tip to anything like it
was last year,
Oregon and Washington thus far have
been favored. In most localities the
vines are strong and healthy, and give
promise of a dense crop. It all depends
iiowever, upon the weather. From now
on is the most critical time. Too much
warm rains would dampen tho vines
and brood hop vermin, which will great
ly reduce tho output of choice oops,
Generally speaking, however, the
world's cron is bound to bo short. Un
der the most favorable conditions poesi-
nie, tiio yield cannot roach the total out
put of Inst vear. And the fact that only
a fraction of last year'i crop remains
unsoui gives assurance that tho prices
will make 1000 the banner year.
