While 21 of the fastest racers In the northwest have entered for the big event, there seems to be a shortage of $50--cars, notwith standing the number of used cars that are sold every month.

Hops' throughout the dis trict are of good quality, and spotted in productivity. The crop this season will be an average one. , Picking started in some of the early yards the first of the week, and by next Monday practically all of the yards will be harvesting the 1923 crop. There has been ho scarcity of pickers, and though some owners are advertising for pickers, all have sufficient labor contracted for to insure no diffi culty in getting the hops to the drier. There are 2,000 acres of hops close to Salem, while the acreage in the entire Willamette valley is considerably in excess of this amount.
