SAEM, Or., June 45-A' prominent of
ficer of the Oregon Hopgrcwers Associa
tion says that the combine has now be
tween 3000 and -50M bales -of hops In Its
control, and that these constitute over
half the entire quantity left In the state
and unsold. He says that hops are mov
ing very freely at 3& to l cents, and
thathe ISM crop will all be disposed of
before tb, 1300 crop Is harvested. While
he has no means of ascertaining the facts
In Ahe matter, he thinks it quite posslb e
that brewers have laid in a slock of the
2S9 crop, which they will carry over into
nea;tfejuoiu I .
There will be a meeting of stockholders
of the association, and also a mass meet
ing of growers, at- .Woodburn June 29.
The purpose of th elrig Js"to ccns'deT
platis-for-llmHIng the supply of hors pro
duced this Fall. '"From the present out
look, there will be no need to limit the
supply of hops, and If prices keep up as
high, as now Indicated, it may not be
necessary to pool the 1S03 crop. However,
the growers will perfect their plans so
as to -be ready to meet any condition that
may prevail.
The Cured-FroU- Pool.,
Charles Log. of Sllverton. 'director for
Clarion County of the Cured Fruit Asso
ciation, reports that the work of secur
ing signatures to the asrociatlon contract
Is progressing ery slowly In his district.
He has been devoting considerable time
to the woric.-but finds that there is not
as much Interest In the organlzat on as
there' was at th beginning-. He Aids
that many of the growers prefer that
vtheir product be handled through a local
organization, and Inat the proceeds be
paid to each grower as soon as. his crop
is sold. Tney do not like the Idea of the
jnonoy received for their, prunes being
ent Id the ofllcorsof the Northwest as
sociation, and held -by them for an In
definite time.
S. P. Kimball, the' Polk Cdur.ty d'rector.
, layers a change Jn the plan of organiza
tion so that localcrganlzatlons' can be
formed to Work In harmony with the
Northwest afSociatlon In the matter of
regulating prices, grades. etc, but still
permitting the local organization to han
dle the fruit and Its proceeds.
Uundlinsr tlic rrclt.
Lloyd T Reyno, Commissioner of
Horticulture for the Second District, says
that there will be a considerable number
of fruKdrlers erected in Marion County
this season. While the number will not
be so great as thoe erected two years
ago; there -a in be enough new driers so
that alT file crop can be handled without
loss. He eays hat f ru&grow crs from
sections of the state In which the prune
grow lng fndustry is nen have recently
been lilting, this section of the'state to
Investigate the merits of the various
styles of drier. They go to growers who
have had experience 'with driers, and thus
get as impartial an opinion as possible as
Id the best form to be used. "When prune
growing W3& a .new Industry In thl3 sec
tion, the growers found It noccssary to
determine,' by di-cusslng , theories, the
style of evaporator, they would "build.
As a result, nuny were, disappointed and
are In a posjtlop to Ele gcod advice to
jhelr contemporaries in the industrj".
Cherres are now the principal fruit
brought on the market. The cannery Is
offering 3 centi per pound, and. shippers
pay Zg. According to market reports,
the California cherry-growers are getting
5 cents. The cannerymen and shippers
in that state offered 3 cents at first, but
the growers refused to ee.l so low, and
eventually got 5 cents. A rise of 4 cent
per pound In the price will pay the cost
of picking.

that any person who may be arrested for
