Harvest is practically over
tFew Ynrda Report Any Great Ioi
From. Rain or Other Causes
Quality Generally Good.
The harvest at- me Oregon hop crop for
this season, is last drawing to a close.
Strictly Bpeaking, It has closed. While
Tplcking has not been finished in a few
eectlons, the unjgarnered product Is of no
considerable amount. It Is a matter of
great Import to dealers in this commodity
Ell over the United States, England and
(several other foreign countries, to know
the portion Oregon will contribute to
wards the supply of an article much "used
the world over. Some idea of the yield Is
peculiarly Interesting to growers and
dealers In the Northwest, as it will be of
fereat assistance to them In determining
Che prices warranted in open market The
Oregonlan today tenders this information
5n the form of concise and reliable re
ports from the several hop centers of
Oregon. Continued rains during the past
"week have, undoubtedly, worked some
tdecerase In the total yield. This condi
tion is touched upon in the account pre
sented, and the Important item of quality
fis in no wise overlooked.
YIELD LESS, QUALITY PRDIE.
3BtopM Xear Oregon City Generally
"Gathered in Good Condition.
OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 20. "With the
exception of a very few yards along the
"Willamette River in tho south end of the
county, the hop crop was all gathered and
tarled in good condition last "n eek. In fact,
snany of the yards were finished up" be
fore any rains fell. "While the total yield
may be a. little less than last year, the
quality Is prime, Growers are now busy
haling their crops, and will soon be ready
$0,, .receive bids for their product The
3ast contracts filed were for 12& and 13
tents per pound, but no recent sales have
"been reported. It is estimated that tho
total yield In Clackamas County will be
about 400,000 pounds. The loss from mold
will be small.
SHORT YIELD IX GERVAIS YARDS.
Quality Best Known In Years Bulk
of Crop Harvested.
GERVAIS. Or.. Sept 21 The bulk of
the hop crop In this "vicinity is safely
gathered, only z. few yards being uncom
pleted. No losses are reported. The qual
ity Is the best known In years. The crop
has been cleanly picked and carefully
cured. Almost every grower reports a
shortage in yield over that of last year,
but claim more lupulin and seeds. Tho
hurr is not so large as formerly, but is
solid and rich. No sales are reported, al
though buyers are active and taking sam
ples. Baling will commence at once. Only
a few have baled up so far. Thla section
will report a. shortage.
XARGER YIELD, BETTER QUALITY.
True of Yards Around Forest Grove
Little Damage as Yet.
FOREST GROVE, Or., Sept 20. Very
little damage has as yet occurred to the
hop crop in this section,. A few yards
have not quite finished, but have a full
force working -with favorable weather.
The yield is larger and of better quality
here than last year. Three hundred thou
sand pounds of dried hops wiU be raised
here this year. Thirteen, cents has been
offered.
FREE FROM MCE OR MOLD.
Independence Yards Fare "Well
Across River Less Fortunate.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., Sept 20. Not
withstanding the continued rains, hops
in this" vicinity are doing remarkably
well. No mold or lice have yet appeared,
and growers say If the present good
weather continues, almost the entire crop
will be saved. The hops just across tho
river have not fared so well. Lice and
Arnold have appeared in several of the
yards.
Averaa-e Yield at "Woodbnra.
WOODBURN, Or., Sept 20. The hop
crop in this section is all harvested, and
3s an average yield. The quality is most
"excellent There has been little mold, and
hops affected were left on the vines. A.
very small fraction of the crop has been
contracted. The growers are holding the
-crop with the expectation of securing 15
'cents per pound.
At Corvallls.
CORVALLTS, Sept 20.-Damags to the
hop crop in this section is comparatively
slight An average is probably Lilly's,
where 200 out of 4000 boxes will not be
picked. Picking there ends at noon to
morrow, and in most yards about Satur
day." In two large yards, where picking
commenced late, the loss will be more
than in Lilly's fields.
In t Yamhill .County.
M'MINNVILLE, Sept 20. It is safe to
say that three-fourths of the hop crop
tof Yamhill County has been saved In good
condition. In those still out mold Is set
ting in "badly, and a few more rainy days
"will ruin them. Another week of good
"weather would -see them all housed.
In Lane County.
EUGENE, Or,, Sept: 20. The recent
rains have done no Injury to the hop
icfop In Lane County. There is no mold
in any of the yards. The crop is over
one-half gathered, and picking in the
large yards will be completed in 10 days.
The crop is estimated at 3500 bales.
In Linn County.
ALBANY, Sept 20. Three-fourths of the
hops In Linn County have already been
caved. The xecent rains have caused mold
in some of the yards, causing consider
able damage to the remaining hops, while
in a few yards little or no damage is re
ported. MULTNOMAH COUNTY ELECTION.
