In -Oregon are growing at the preaent
time about 10,000 acrea of hopa com
pared with some 12,000. acrea a year ago.
In all It ia now figured that about 7,500
acrea were entirely plowed up thla year
and 4.500 acrea not cultivated. Of the
remaining ku.ooo acrea It la estimated
that IS. 000 acres received ordinary cul
tivation and that about 7,000 acrea re
ceived merely a scratch of the plow her
and there. -
under ordinary condittona the' hop
yarda of Oregon will average about four
and a half balea to the acre, some not
golpg- more than four balea, while
others will run Ave balea or better. In
normal years the preaent acreage would
call for a crop of approximately 100,000
balea, but thla year the indications are
for a less production,
