Saxon named Harry, the mother being
a full-blooded siwash. Her olive -com

and her golden hair frames a face of rare
beauty. The authorities will permit no

Farmers in the Tygh Valley section
are' exhibiting much interest in the
matter . of hop raising, and it is quite
probable that several will plant at least
a small patch for trial the coming spring.
Mr. Robert Mays is very confident that
they will prove a success, and, though
he has no idea of engaging in their pro
duction at present, he proposes to plant
a small tract at Tygh for the purpose of
proving his surmises correct, and to en
courage others who are inclined to en
gage in the industry.
That hop-raising in this climate is not
an absolute venture is very satisfactorily
proven by a visit to A. M. Williams &
Co.'s general merchandise store by a re
porter this morning. In the large ware
house are about ten bales of good quality
hops that they have just received from
Haystack, near Prineville, where they
were grown by Mr. J. F. McCallister.
For theBe Mr. Williams has been offered
12c in Portland, but he will hold them
for a time in anticipation of a further
rise.
The following letter received recently
by Mr. E. Echanno, from Mr. Chas.
Carpenter, a successful hop raiser of the
Yakima, gives valuable information on
the subject of raising them : .
Nobth Yakima, Jan. 28.
Mr. Emlle Schanno:
Dear Sibt Yours of the 25th received
asking for information in regard to start
ing a hop yard and in the first place I
will say that the land should be ploughed
well and deep and leveled and fixed up
in good shape, when it should be staked
off in Btraight rows seven feet apart each
way, placing a small peg about a foot
long where each hill is to be planted ;
then you can go to work and plant with
out removing the peg, of course planting
the same side of the pegs all of the time.
In staking out you can use a wire or
strong twine string. If wire is used I
would have it made in links just seven
feet, so at the end of each length you
can set a peg after drawing it straight.
I think wire the best because it will not
stretch any, but if string Is used a strong
piece of yarn can be tied on it just seven
feet apart for markers after drawing it
straight. In planting I would put three
pieces in a hill and plant about the same
depth as you would plant corn. Say
from two to four inches in depth accord
ing to the soil ; if very wet not so deep,
but if very dry of course they would
want to be deeper in order to' get the
proper moisture to start the growth
This is about all you would want to do
the first year, except to cultivate them
clean from weeds unless you would think
best to pole them.
Here in this country when they get
them planted very early in the spring
they sometimes get from 500 to 1,000
pounds per acre the first year by poling
and taking good care of them, bat as a
rule I have my doubts as to its paying
to pole hops the first year. If they fetch
a good price I think it perhaps would
pay to pole the first year if you get them
in early and have good land for them to
grow in. Yours truly, .
Chas. Carpenter.
