11 THE 3IORXING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1914. I I r DROUGHT KILLS HOPS Crop for Season Estimated at Nearly 100.000 Bales. UPLAND YARDS ARE HEAVY Tom Rogers Says Growers Who Look for Bumper Yield Are to Get Surprise for Clusters Are Smaller Than for Years. With the Oregon hoppicklng season In the first blush of its 1914 ascend ency, Tom Rogers, of McMinnvllle, vice president of the Yamhill branch of the Oregon Hop Growers' and Dealers' As sociation, hajs made an early survey of the outlook and says a surprise Is in store for some so far as the Willamette Valley is concerned. "It may be as some expect almost a bumper crop, and again It may not," aid Mr. Rogers. "One never can tell. The pendulum may swing either way when all the hops are harvested and put in the bale. One thing is evident, however. The long dry spell has left its mark on all yards, big and small, on upland as well as lowland. "As seen from the river bluffs, up and down the Willamette, from Lincoln south and to far-away - Independence confines, the yards present a fine ap pearance. All this is changed, however, once you drop down the grade and go in careful research. There are yards everywhere hlgh-trelltsed yards, low trellised yards, pole and stake yards a great green canopy, reaching away and away seemingly to the very drop-ping-off place "It is on the high-trellised yards that the dry spell Is most noticeable. The low-trellisea yards have withstood the weather better; have longer arms, have a decidedly Better color ana are iuh v hops. Even these, like their towering sister yards, will produce a top crop. "On all yards on our trip we found the burr smaller than for many seasons. There Is no getting around it. A good, soaking rain might aid materially in producing a fair average crop, but 1 doubt it. That time has long since passed. "As you wade out through the sea of weeds and look up into these hlgh trcllised yards no great amount of hops greet the eye. They are not there; they lie on top of the green canopy overhead out of Bight in clusters of twos and threes and bushel-sized bunches. There will be no taking hold of a long arm this year and stripping It. half filling a basket at one fell swoop. So, taking it on the whole, and as the Independence section produces by far the most hops in the valley, the coming crop will be a disappointing one, the new acreage not nearly offset ting the shortage. "In many yards we found the red spider. Spraying is going on all the time. "Seemingly the upland hop has the best of It this year. This especially 13 true of the Rickreull. Salem. Brooks and Est, Paul districts. They present a bet ter appearance are better filled, are larger and are of better color. The Bureh yard at Rlckreall is up to stand ard: so are dozens of others. There -"'arc dosena of others, though, that are jit so good. Yamhill county is ai Jftt. the line; so are portions of Polk. 'Washington and Benton counties. As viewed bv H. C. Eccleston. w. c. awn and Edward Briedwell. all experienced hop men, the Oregon crop will average from 85.000 to 100,000 bales. "Aaked as to the yield In the Inde pendence section this year. Henry Eoof, a heavy grower and most conservative man, put it at 1000 pounds dried hops per acre." 1 70 COME ON BREAKWATER bteainer Also Brings 80 Tons of Mixed Cargo From Coos Bay.

Coal went ud $1 a ton last week, we understand, and we shivered when we heard It. You see. it takes so much more coal to suonlv the ships that are not sailing the seas on account of the war, that the price simply has to rise. And then, look at the calendar, and remember what happened last year about this time. Locals and Personals Rain Is still needed. Many have gone hopplcklng. Spider Baum was up from San Francisco on business last week. Commissioner Dleck not only smokes Turkish cigarettes, like Commissioner Brewster, but he collects stamps, proving once more that all great men have their little follies. Manager Dan Flood, of the Lyric, is acquainted with grief. He doesn't know we are going to print this, tut, as the political editor might say. It Is understood on good authority that he has been drilling a squad of local beauties for his chords, and while the girls aren't exactly bashful, they don't always know what to do with their feet.

J. B. Messlck. whom every body In Baker County seems to want for County Judge, was down at North Beach last week, looking at the ocean and getting sunburned and doing other dev ilish things. Ralph Staehll Is back from the front. He was at Gearhart and while ro heavy firing was heard there, he was one of a number who saw a steamer with four slacks passing on the high seas.

He and painless Parker are old friends, and their meeting was truly touching.
