THE HOP CROP,
Au I n tiHiiiillj li : pre Yield In I'lncU
man County.
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.
