OREOON HOP CROP.
Yield Lighter Than Expected, but Quality
Is Exceptionally Oood.
Salem, Or., Sept. 12. "Tho chnncoa
are that tho hop crop for Oregon this
year will not exceed 80,000 bales, "said
a prominent local dealer today.
"Picking is well under way in nil of
tho yards," ho continued, "and whilo
tho crop will bo larger thr.n last year,
it will ho much lighter than a ox
peoted a fow weeks ago. Lost year tl)o
crop was vory short in tho Willametto
valley, duo to tho exceptionally hot
spoil in July. This year tha crop
promised to bo much largor and nearer
an avorago crop, causing some dealers
to estimate tho probabloyleld ns high
us 00,000 bales.
"It Is now evident that the crop is
an outside or u top 0110, and thiro aro
not near as many hops on tho vinos
ns appearances, indicated. Tills is
evident from tho returns from a groat
many yards in which tho picking is
under way. Some growers report good
crops, but tho majority aro disap
pointed and nro making complaint at
tho unexpected shoitugu in tho yield.
However, what is lost in quantity is
boing mado up in quality. This has
boen 1111 ideal season for hnrvoatiug
tho crop, and not slnco 1800 tho your
tho hop louse appeared has the crop
been so free of mold. Tho quality in
this statu promises to bo lino and much
nbovo tho avorago.
"Tho Oregon hop growers will find
that their hopj will bo in great do
iniind Ibis year, and that the English
buyuia will bo eager purchasers at full
values. Tho latest cable report from
England stiltu that tho crop lu that
country is coming down vory light,
and that tho mold is spreading
ranldly. Growers r.ro trying to pick
hops abend of tho mold there, but
cannot keep pace with it, and it ap
pears that England will have another
crop of j)oor quality and will havo to
look to Oregon for choice hops.
"It is plain to 11 great many dealers
that tho New York stale crop will bo
less than 25,000 balos. This 1b a
marked dot reuse from that of last year,
when tho Empiro stato produced
(15,000 bules. Prospects never looked
brighter for tho Oregon grower, and it
will pay him to give strict attention
to clean picking and the making of. a
cliolco crop."
