At tha time when yarda should have been cultivated the price of hop waa very low and growers cultivated their yards In proportion to the price. There la only one yard In tha vicinity of MCMlnnvllle where the grower hoed sround the hills. Some yarda were not even plowed.

No growers will pay for picking by the box as this Is generally unsatisfactory to them.
