Everybody in and around Oregon City, who can get awav from homo have gone to the bop fields, Some of thorn go for the outing, and to enjoy camping out, while- a majority of tliom go for the I profits in the business. Bout loud alter j boat load of people) have punned tip the ! river during tlio past few days bound lor j the hop fields, and yet in some sections ', pickers are reported scarce. Growers! are only paying 35 and 40 cents per Irx i to pickers, but they can do pretty well i at that as the picking is done mostly in : trays, an.l the crop is unusually good. I The price ol bops are very low, in : fact, just at this time there is no settled market price, but many of the growers j have their hoi contracted at eight and ten vents per pound, for oriods of three I and five years. A number of hop grow- j ers in the Molalla country will not! pick their hops on account of tlio low ! price, notwithstanding the fact that the j yield is large and the quality good. Some agents have been making proposi tions to lake the cro of the growers ; who do not intend to harvest, ofT their j hands, with the agreement that after j the expenses and one cent a pound . profit shall have been received, the bill-; ance, if any, shall be turned over to the ' growers. Several of them have ac-1 ceptvd the proposition. It is much bet- j ter to have crop picked, even if there Is ! no profit in the transaction, as the; ground will be left in much better con-1 tlition for the next year's crop, without j any work on the part ol the growers, i C. Kocber, near Aurora, has about i twenty-three acres in bops, and the ' crop is very good and free from lice. . The Kochers are the oldest hop growers in that section, and claim that the damp weather will not injure the ho unless it continues for some time, as then there is dinger the hops will become affected with lice, and there is danger that the hops will become mouldy. Mr. Miller of Aurora, the agent of Philin Neis A Co., for the Barlow, Aurora. Butteville and Wood mm districts, and who has three and five year contracts for the product of most of the yards, is furnish ing money for harvesting the crop in his district, and is urging on the growers the importance of carefully gathering and curing their crop. Mr. Miller states that on a recent trip up the valley, he learned that a number of yards in the vicinity o( Harrisburg were so badly af flicted with mold, tbat a number of them would not be harvested. Tbe bops, however, are in excellent condition in this part of the valley. The acreage o( hops in Clackamas county will be the means of bringing thousands of dollars into the country.
