" Growers in New York Going Out of Business Picking of This Year's crop on the Coast Will End Next Week. Other News. . Portland Evening Nearly all the Oregon Telegram, he pa are picked and a good many samples in the bales have been- received in Portland, The rain Friday night will prove rather beneficial than harmful, as it will wash - the bars clear of dust before they go into the driers. No amount of rain could do very much damage, for picking will be through-by.next week. Al ready large numbers of the pickers have returned home. , F. A. Wattenberg, a New York buyer, who is in the city, estimate that out of 85,ooD bales; 60,000 are in the hands of the growers, which would leave 25,ooo bales in the hands of contracting parties. The samples received show a good quality. No prices however, have been established. German hop are selling at 30 cents in New Yoik with the duty paid, which low fig ure is likely to weightdown the pri ces and keep them from soaring higher than 20 to 23. cents, the present contracting prtces. The German crop, as stated before, is heavy, but the New York and Eng lish crops are light and poor in quality. Moet of the California crop is picked, and the Washington crop is well in hand. . Eastern buy ers are upan the ground, but do not seem very active in makiDg offers. Until the samples in the bales are received, it is not likely mach will be done in the buying line. ' Mr. Nvattenberg makes an im portant statement as serving to show that the Pacific Coast can raise hops much cheaper than any of the Eastern states. Until recent vears New York has been the hop raising center of America. Low prices, poor quality caused by the soil be ing worn threadbare and the in creased cost of production have caused some of the larger growers to plough under fields and turn to other kinds of farming. The one item of poles alone cost the New York grower from 10 to 12 cents per pole, or about $75 an acre. In Oregon and Washington ; the poles cost the grower practically nothing. While the New York soil is worn out, the soil in the Coast states is still strong and fresh, although successive crops ; are be ginning to tell upon its productive powers, and unless growers fertilize freely from this time on they will pick a poor quality ot hops hereat- ter. It is likely many of the other larga New York growers will go out of the business this year, and the acreage in Washington and Oregon will be increased that much more. Tharthe industry is assuming larga proportions in Oregon is Bhown by the fact that Horst Bros, have 325 acres; Jvrebbe isroe., zoo acres; Rose. .165 acresLilienthaLBros., 115 acres; Hirshberg, : llo acres. Those are the largest growers. ; At K!ng3 Valley. Kings Valley will have a large attendance at O. A. C. this winter. Tom Allen, John Graham, Fred Writner, Walter Winfred, James Chambers.
