115 THE MORNING OREGONIAlSr, THURSDAY, JANUARY lr 1903. GREAT YEAR IN HOPS Growers Receive Over $3,000,000 for Their 1902 Product-Small Increase in Acreage. THE success ol hopffrowlnff In Oregon has been due to perfect conditions of climate and soil. .Relying upon the favors of Nature, a large majority of the growers have given but comparatively little attention to cultivation, spraying, and curlhg. In tho last year or two, however, there has been an improve ment in this regard and growers are beginning to exercise that care and at tention which have long been essential to success in less favored localities. An industry which has been a profitable one for the state under the methods, or lack of method, In the past, will be a still greater producer of wealth under the more favorable system upon which the growers have entered. The importance of the industry Is fihown by the financial results of the crop of 1902. The total yield, as esti mated while the hops are yet on the way to market, was 85,000 bales, of an average weight of 1SS pounds, making the total product 15.9S0.O00 pounds. A portion of this crop was sold by con tract before picking time at from 10 to 12 cents a pound, and the remainder was disposed of after picking at prices rang ing from 15 to 20 cents a pound. The total value of the crop was $4,000,000, of which sum the growers, by reason of selling at leES than the top price, re ceived about 53,250,000. Tho crop licked considerable of being a full yield aud averaged about 900 pounds per acre. The cost of production was about 8 cents a pound, so that at an average selling price of 20 cents a pound there was a net profit to the grtwer of 12 cents a pound, or ?10S an aero. In many in stances thls year the net profit on a hop crop was enough to pay for tho land upon, which the hops were grown. Many a grower who last year bought a yard on time was enabled in one sea son's work to pay off his indebtedness, leaving him tho owner of a comfortable, unincumbered home. The Increase In acreage in hopgrowing in this 6tato during the last year has notbeen great and is worthy of atten tion principally because of the decrease that has taken place in other hop-producing sections of the world. For a num ber of years the acreage in hops in England has been steadily decreasing, and the latest advices from that country contain the information that large num bers of growers have become discouraged and are grubbing out their yards. The tendency has been In the same dlrec- i tion, though less marked. In New York, ! which is the only hop-producing state c in the eastern part of the United States, j In the last lo years Oregon has forged ahead In hopgrowing, until In 1902 this state produced nearly half- the entire hop crop of the United States. It Is al ready certain that the increase' In acreage In this state in 1903 will amount to not less than 10 per cent, so that Oregon will make up for any decrease in other sec tions of this country. The development of thei industry in this state has ' been due to no other causes than the relatively low cost o,f. produc tion. The rich soils of the river bot toms make it possible to grow enormous crops without the use of a pound of fertilizers. Irrigation In the hopgrowing section of tho state Is made unnecessary : ' I , Photo by George II. 'Welster. " AX OHEGOX HOP VINE. i . . . a i I The last two seasons, and particularly the season of 1602, has witnessed a great im provement in this particular. Instead of using a pole for each hill, as was formerly the almost universal custom, the growers are cfdoptlng the permanent system of an overhead wire from which strings are suspended for the support of the vines. More thorough and fre- by tho abundance 'of-'rain.durlng-:theWin'-quent cuitlvationhas 'become gonoral-and ter and Spring, which fills the ground there are tewer yards that are allowed with moisture to supply the needs of the plants during the warm dry growing season. Fuel' for purling Is cheap, as also Is the timber needed for poles. In no other place in the United States can so large a crop be grown at so small -a relative cost. Taken one year with another the quality of the Oregon product has compared favorably with that of other states- and In several years the quality has been superior. to become weedy. It is in spraying, however, that the greatest advance has been made, for. In the present view of hopgrowing, spraying is necessary to insure a crop of unimpaired quality. In a, year of early and continued Fall rains, hops are almost certain to be infested with the hop louse, which, getting into the hop burr, causes mold to form. Moldy hops are not choice In quality and it the quanltity of mold be vory great It Is this low cost of production that ! the crop may be almost a total loss. has led the growers in years past to -j All the leading growers have made It rely too much upon Nature, while they their custom to spray ' their vines with neglect some of the means which might a solution of quassia chips jand whale be employed to insure a yield of good oil soap as a preventative of the multi quality, at a cost but slightly increased. plication of. vermin.. In this way the when the growers sold their hops for less than the cost of production and thero have been times when they sold for prices which ' yielded fabulous profits. Those growers who were not carried into extravagances by the success of 'one year or driven out of the business by the failure ,of another, but who have followed a conservative course in trying to raise a good crop of hops every year, : have been abundantly successful. The awaKening 10 inc iact. mat tnc skui oi ; the grower must be brought to the aid ; of the ideal conditions of climate "and soil is one of the most reassuring fea- tures of the Industry at present. The time has not yet arrived when the use of artificial fertilizers Is necessary In the hopyards of Oregon. That it will come sooner or later to the growers on the less fertile lands is probable, but the yards located on the rich alluvial soils of the river bottoms will go on yielding enormous crops with no other aid than cultivation. Substantial recognition of the future of hopgrowing in Oregon is shown In the purchase of hopyards by hopdealers This is a change that has taken place in the last two or three years and in the past year some of- the best-known buyers on the Coast have Invested in hop land. This Is a movement which is partrcularly pleasing to the growers for the reason that the interests of the. buyers are be coming more identified with those of the growers and the latter may reasonably hope to fare better In securing a market for their hops. The advantage to the Industry in general will be that the deal ers have a better appreciation of the value of quality than has the average grower and they may be expected to raise the standard qf tho quality of hops In this state, xaat there has been an advance In this respect in the past year Is indicated by the fact that Oregon hops properly picked and cured this year are the equal of any in the country so far as quality is concerned. The great value of the hopgrowing in dustry to the state lies la the largo amount of money which It distributes each year to those who need it most. The hop harvest requires the employ ment of an army of' 25,000 to 20,000 per sons. Men, 'women and children engage in hoppicklng. Families move from the city to the country in tho harvest time and live in tents while working in the yards. Employment Is thus given to practically all who want It and particu larly to those who arc not strong enough to engage In heavier work. Of the $1,250,000 which it cost to produce the hop crop of 1902, practically all of it went into tho hands of those who worked in the cultivation of the yards or the harvesting of the crop. After all ex penses are paid, the growers have & large profit left, and"th'e dealers, by pur chasing judiciously, have also made good margins and everyone who has been con nected with the Industry In any way has made money. It Is because of this fact that a considerable increase in the acre, age of hops will take place next season. Oregon cannot hold out to tho residents of Eastern states tho inducement of a splendid opportunity to engage In the hops are protected from the possibility hop industry here. The market for hops of damaging mold and a good crop prac- is a limited one and a surplus In the tically Insured. As there are no heavy winds in Summer in the hopgrowing sec tion of Oregon to damage the vines, growers who pursue the most up-to-date methods of caring for their crops aro certain of t a satisfactory yield every year. ... . Great progress has also been . made in the methods pursued In curing hops. Having learned by several years of ex perience how to operate a kiln so as to preserve in the hops the greatest propor tion of tho essential constituents, tho growers are turning out a better cured product thanthey ever have before. In stead of baling tho hops as soon as they are cured, it is becoming tho prac tice to let them lay in the bin for two weeks or more while they are going through a "sweat." In this manner also the quality of the Oregon hop is being Improved. The history of the development of the hop industry in this state covers a period of a little over 20 years. During that time there have been adverse periods production means a drop in prices. The hop production of the world Is about equal to the demand for tho manufacture of beer, yeast, medicines, etc? It Is, therefore, apparent that it will not bo wise to Increase the acreage in Oregon any faster than the acreage can be di minished in other parts of. the world. A 'man who can make a success of hopgrow ing In a state where, fertilization is neces sary, enn make a greater success here' and he may well be encouraged to come' here and engage in that Industry, but it would be folly to encourage those not laminar wiin tno occupation to come here and engage in growing hops? As a source of permanent wealth, the indus try adds much to the state as a place attractive to homeseekers. for It gives assurance of contributing to the pros perity of every community' in which It is established. The industry has always been a great money-circulator, and as its magnitude increases, as It Is certain to do, it will become more and more val uabl to the state in this respect. LANDS FOR ALL COMERS Great Area of Unoccupied Territory in Oregon 25,000 JNew Settiers During the Past Vear. OKEGON'S superficial land area Is" Cl,277,4-i0' acres, nearly half of which' still belongs to the public domain. That is, after deduction of all the rail- road and wagon road grants, all the for est and. Indian reserves and all the land taken by private entry, there still re mains fully 25,000,000 acres belonging to the Government. Two or three provis ional withdrawals of considerable tracts which are expected to be created Into forest reserves in Eastern Oregon -leave' some uncertainty as to just the area tlll subject to entry in the land offices. If is not to be said, ot course, that all the remaining land is suitable for settle- menu as a. maucr oi iact, most or tms remaining ar-a is not desirable for homes unui unusual Improvements have been made upon it. It must be. reclaimed by the Introduction of water and the prac tice of Irrigation. And a part of .the land Is too rough -and rocky ever to be tilled. Good homesteads may yet be obtained in localities rather remote irom ' transpor tation lines, hut they are not as "plenti ful as would be inferred from the "bald statement that nearly half the area of the state is still public domain. There is water for all the arid land, but to get this water upon the land usually involves the construction of works requiring more or less capital. When this land is once reclaimed to cultivation J it will maintain a aenser popuiauon man the average country that does not require artificial watering. But Oregon" is a state of great extent, and has many varieties of climate, soil and productions, and in every section of. the state there are op portunities for the homo-builder and the! man of capital and business talents. "Vast tracts not now occupied will become the 6eat ot .prosperous Industries and a, numerous population. It all of Oregon were as densely settled as Is the anthra cite coal region of Pennsylvania, it "would, contain 40 per cent more inhabitants than are now in all the United States, Jj&tge areas of the state will .never be thus oc cupied, but more land than is in all of Pennsylvania may be cultivated In-Ore-jgon. Pennsylvania has about 6,500,000 peo ple: Oregon, 500,000. It is estimated that 25,000 people have come' to Oregon and established them selves as residents of the state "Within the past yearthe state has gained that many citizens from outside. - But the Im migration propaganda organized by the . Harrlman lines of railroad has only got ten its forces fairly In the field, and the results from that work are yet to come. Immigration Agent G. M. McKlnney, with a corps of - assistants, spent a few -weeks in Oregon last Summer, getting acquaint ed with the- country and the people, and nearly every county on the Southern Pa cific lines became so. interested in the new Immigration movement that large numbers of descriptive pamphlets were complied and sent for distribution. In the East. Care has been taken to tell a story thatr will be truly and reliably in forming, and good, results arc assured. The tendency is more notable than ever before for each citizen to constitute him self an immigration agont, and the re sult of the combined effort along these lines cannot fall to be of advantage to OATS AND BARLEY. Shipments of the Former Were Hcayi est on Record. Shipments of. oats from Portland " ! were the heaviest that have ever been .made from Portland- In a .single year,-reaching. a ,to.talof 922,991 1 bushels, valued at $40i,6S9 .

Every head of family that comes Intq, the state probably means an average of $500 in cash value added to became dissatisfied with their condition and desired a. change, but owing to the impossibility of disposing of real or per sonal property for anything like a fair valuation they found themselves unable to move. "With the resumption of good times, tho history of previous immigra tion movements is repeating itself. The extrome "West is settled more largely from the Middle "West than from the ex treme East, People in the Atlantic Coast States, and as .far west as Ohio, who find themselves prepared to make a change, go to Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nehraska and other states in. the Middle West, -where they Jlnd lands cheaper and per haps better 'than those they had ownedi and find thero peoplo who moved years before who arc ready to sell their hold ings and move still farther west. The tendency seems always to be westward, probably because of cheaper lands In the West than In tho East. The best field, therefore, for securing immigration to the Pacific Northwest is Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and states west to and Including "North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. For this reason the Harrlman Lines Immigration Bureau is confining Its efforts very largely to that section. General Immigration Agent "McKlnney, whose headquarters is in Chi cago,' hs in the field traveling immigra tion agents located at Detroit, Indian apolis, Des Moines, 'Kansas City and Chi cago, and from these central points the sections most productive of immigration are well covered. In working for immigration, as a pre liminary, printed matter descriptive " of Oregon ls: sent to a very large mailing list, composed almost entirely of the names of farmers. This gives rise to cor respondence, which is followed up by per sonal visits, and where the interest man ifested Is sufficient public lectures, illus trated by stereoptlcon views, are given. Where people do not find It convenient to v.sit the country in search of a loca tion, an effort is made to determine what kind of land they wish to buy and at what price. and the people are placed in correspondence with reliable real estate agents. The work Is simply a campaign of education, carried on in tho country enable them to choose a location for themselves; but the main effort is to se cure producers on the theory that there will be no difficulty in getting people "to sfart stores, banks, etc, as tho opportunity- presents Itself. In connection with the immigration work there is a considerable force of clerks in Mr. McKinney's office constantly busy in answering letters and sending out printed matter, and occasionally when the opportunity presents itself a feature is made of exhibits at county fairs, etc This work is more systematically prose cuted than It ever was before, and a large volume of Immigration of the very best class is assured for the coming year. What Can Be Done "With' Pork. There is noetter opportunity for money making In Oregon than In the -production of pork. Oregon Imports a carload of pork a day from the Ea3t, notwithstanding the fact that pork con be produced as cheaply here as anywhere. Wheat has been sell ing at 60 cents a bushel, and even less, when it has been demonstrated that it is worth 75 cents a bushel for hog feed. Good for the Preda'cers. Every dollar expended In Improving the Columbia "River has returned five dollars to tho producers of the Columbia River basin, who are dependent largely, upon the market they sacure through Portland. The river Improvement is to continue and Portland will continue to be a great ship ping point. - . o i; A SCHOOL AS PROMINENT AS IT IS POPULAR . " BISHOP SCOTT ACADEMY, PORTLAND, OREGON. The commercial and social atmosphere of Portland la especially adapted to the fostering or education, and Its institutions ot learning are among Its moat prominent features. The oldest school of Its kind In Portland Is the Bishop Scott Academy. The school was founded in 1870, by the Rt. Rev. B. Wlstar Morris. D. D., and named In honor of Bishop Scott, the revered . and beloved churchman tvhoso devoted and self-sacrlflclnc work as the first bishop of Orscon and Washington will ever be re membered with gratitude by the people of the Northwest. The rector and founder, our p.tsont bishop, has. by his long yean of unsparing, unselfish labor for the church In Oregon, erected to his memory many noble monuments none more enduring than the love and veneration he has Inspired In the hearts of his loyal followers but chief amonr. those visible to the world must be placed the schools, where hundreds of young hearts and minds have been molded. The buildings of the academy are large, and have been thoroughly cleaned and repaired according to sanitary principles. It Is the aim of the principal and his corps of assistants to encompass the resident pupils with an atmosphere of refinement and homellkencss, and their environment will conform to such requirements as nearly as possible. Besides the main building, thero is an infirmary, where cases of contagious diseases may be Isolated from the school. An education that Is not many-sided and all-Inclusive, that docs not send out its Impulse Into every convolution of brain and intricacy of temperament, to every fiber of the body and every motive of the spirit, is not worthy of the name. The educator who develops the mind at the expense of the body or soul, is dwarfing the character intrusted to his charge. "A church school with military training and discipline, and a thoroughly competent and scholarly corps of instructors, presents the hlshest type of educational structure, for in such an Institution, properly conducted, each component of the stu dent's .threefold nature receives the culture that is essential to the formation of a rounded personality, and of a cultivated and conscientious member of the body politic. , The principal of the Bishop Scott Academy lost year assumed the management of the school with the firm Intention ot rolaslng no effort until he had reached the goal In view that of extending to his patrons all of the advantages that a per fectly appointed Institution of learning can offer. The Ideals of the principal are high, but long experience has proven to his satisfaction that unstinted efforts and untlrlnr zeal are the factors by which such Ideals may "be approximated, and his endeav ors during the past year have all been, focused upon that end, with results that are most encouraging. Although the difficulties encountered have been many, he would earnestly urze prospective patrons and those even remotely Interested In the school, to Investigate thoroughly the" advancement made by the academy during the year 1001-'02. and the advantages offered for the future. He can with confidence assert that. Inasmuch as every Influence toward a higher, broader, purer plane of life will constantly surround the students, each boy cannot fall to be affected. In so far as his nature will respond. The educational methods em ployed will ever keep pace with the onward movement of the age, so that each year may mark a stepping-stone in- the progress of the Bishop Scott Academy. t The school library, with a large amount of the current literature of the highest order, is at the disposal of the student, who receives every Inducement and encouragement toward the cultivation of a pure literary taste. By mean3 of conversations, lectures and readings, an attempt will fce made to arouse the interest of the student and to keep him in touch with the master- Sleces of literature. Every possible advantage in the way of social life is given to cadets, not only for recreation and pleasure, ut also for the sake of polite training. . . The eye may be perfect In transmitting Its Impressions, and the brain may be faultless In Its conception' of them, but If the hand Is not skillful In giving outward expression to these Images, the Individual, as well as the world, has been deprived of a large share of his rightful due. The training of the hands Is not only useful as a mode of visible representation of mental prog ress, but Is nlso Invaluable as a means of inspiring an appreciation of tho absolute necessity for neat and exact work. Manual training Is not placed In the curriculum with the Idea of turning out finished artisans from the academy although whatever work is done must be worthy of consideration but rather of assisting the pupil and teachers in ascertaining the natural bent of the pupil's mind. This department is in charge of a competent and discriminating Instructor. Obedience, Implicit and unquestioning. Is the great moral lesson to be learned from military discipline, and the self-control engendered by such training Is one of the most Important and far-reaching results obtained In school life. The opportunity of gaining advancement and recognition as a result of merit and hard work creates an ambition that Is most helpful to the cadet. The trend of education Is toward the useful, rather than toward the ornamental. Tears of experience have created a con viction that no education Is complete unless the graduate Ncan give utterance agreeably. Intelligently and logically to the knowl edge toe his acquired. Thousands of business men regret today that they wero allowed to neglect this side of their mental train ing. For this reason every boy in our school will be so Instructed that. If called upon, he will net hesitate to express. In pub lic if necessary, his views on subjects of Importance. This very essential feature of the school correlates, in a measure, with tho military department, as the drill provides a large degree of the physical exercise that good health demands. In addition, however, to the drill, all manly sports are encour aged, under the careful guidance of the members of the faculty. The Academy offers every facility for the pursuit of healthful recreation, and Is, Indeed, peculiarly blessed In- the posses sion of a campus so largo and so delightfully situated that It Is at once the pride of the B. S. A. cadets, and tho envy of less favored schools. The baseball and football fields are the center of attraction during their seasons, and around them revolves the happy, care-free life of boyish rivalry. The tennis courts invite the lovers of that game to a- trial of skill, and every In ducement is extended to the cadets to arouse in them a thorough and lasting Interest In and love for all athletic contests. A valuable and popular adjunct of the recreative life of the school Is the convenient appliance for shower baths, placed In the bathrooms connecting with the football room. Here the boys refresh themselves after their games, preparatory to dressing for dinner, and appear at chapel formation divested of all traces ot their recent exertions. The Principal has had the good fortune owing to the local Interest manifested In the school, and to the excellent moral reputation that It has gained during the year Just past, to obtain for cadets, from the Board of Trustees of the Multnomah-'Am-atcur Athletic CIuo, the much-coveted opportunity of junior membership In this- famou3 club. This agreement accords the cadets the privilege of the use of the gymnasium, swimming pool and baths, as well a"s the field. Perhaps the most important and advantageous feature of the -arrangement is the class Instruction given, without extra charge, to all Junior members, by Professor R. Kronn. the authorized physical instructor for the- club. , ' . khill . Jk ACADEMY. J PORTLAND, OREGON, j , mj 'JAV.H1LL,MJ3. principal.
