In Germany the crop was decreased Dy tne jaca of help to cultivate them, while In France.

"There Is one feature a little en couraging to the Oregon grower.

Si Lowell,, who has abont 3t acres of new hops on the Cartwrlgbt ranch, says he has poled fifteen acres and If he had been able to secure help he would have poled more. This yard was set out this spring without the expectation of securing a crop and potatoes were planted between rows. Ot Elliott is helping him and reports that SI sure will have some crop ot spuds." The conditions prevailing In tbej hop world abroad are revealed in a letter written to T. A. Livesley & Co. of this city on June 17th by" C. C. Donovan, ot Santa Rosa, Calif., on hia return from Europe. Mr. Dono van, who is an, important factor and keen observer in the hop game, says: "M dear Mr. Livesley: "Your letters of May 25th and June 4th, received.

I Many strawberry areas are bearing light crops cf fruit this year because of the growing conditions that were experienced last summer when it was so dry and warm that the plants did not make very much of a growth.

These plants will stand through the win ter and make a good growth next spring, and while it is true that they will go to seed some time In late Mav or June, yet there will be a lot ot leaves that can be used even whil the plant is throwing out Its seed stalk. Chard is one of the best, if not the best, crop for summer greens, and when the fall rains come it is also fine.

This fertilizer should be either a high grade one. composed of nitrate or soda, superphosphate or bone. ! the proportion of 100 pounda to 300 or 400 pounds, or one could use a complete fertiliser already mixed op as sold by the various dealer in Portland, putting the fertiliser around the. plants at the rate of about 400 founds per acre. If the first formula consisting of nitrate is used, care must be taken lest the fertilizer ?ome in contaet with or lie on the leaves of the plants. Anv cood complete fertilizer, to gether with good cultivation should have the seed in the ground by the first part of 'July.

Moisture Is the dominating factor both for the plant after the larlng season and also before the berries begin to get ripe. I have been irrigating some straw berries this seson before the firs June rains came and before the ber rle beean to get ripe, and the re sult Is that there ar very few small berries in the lot. The same Is true with raspberries whih respond tre mendously to Irrigation, both as to six of the berry, nnalltv and gen era! yield. That fact I have prove! to mv utmost satisfaction aad the T'elds ot the past fey years, eoecl ally the past tew dry Janes, show this to be true. With a crop like raspberries It Is Important to remember that tn young growth that l now taking place bears the crop for next year and so must receive good attention for a good 1951 crop. I saw some berry vines the other day that in ppite ot all the recent moisture will not make hardly anything of a crop for the plants were neglected lat year and therefore bear cry lightly now. be made tiae and the seed dropped la aJnl rows rather thialy so that it will only be necessary to trans plant once to the field or garden.
