He 13 ons ,jf the Dest . posted men in the industry on the coast. Hop growers will do well tty read carefully the following and take. the tips offered. , .. Durbin & Cornoyer are exten sive hop dealers. Their offices are in tie Durbin building in! Sa lem. They Represent some 'of the leading firing in both the foreign and American trade. They also raise ho;m. They grow them right and turnout quality hops. : They have the Curtis. ranch with a 30 acre yard at -Talbot, the Durbin yard on the Sflverton road, on Howell prairie, with 15 acres, and rhe 120 acre Mitomn "ranch five miles north of Indep- enaence. 'iney , nave i a moqei ranch in the Mitoma. They have fine; buildings and use thorough methods. They have irrigated all their yards; did last year. Are prepared to do bo whenever neces-j Bury. Find it a great help, some seasons. ' Their Mitoma ranch Ti-as used , last year as a sort of headquart ers for 1 the migrant .workers' activities. That is, s the yrganl- f-jtation Poking ' out for the wel are of fcfcevfairttUes jamong the pickers in the i hop yards of the alley. They had a great tent on Kthe Mitonlaanch and carried on "a -model work, especially with the children. i t f f What Will Ho Price? I Mr. Cornoyer has wo prediction ' as to the probable price that will be received for the hop crop of I this yeari- If one wished to con- tract now, he would be offered j 15 cents a pound. That is what it costs him to produce them, if he considers his own labor and - '. the use of the land. It may cost . him a little more, if he rents and hires all labor. There may or may not be; a , good market in England for part of our hops. The hop control that has lasted for five years in that country expires Aug. J5. .During the time of the control American hops were admitted only as needed by the brewing ; industry. The thing to take the J place of the v control is a tariff, : and that amounts to 18 cents a pound in American money. It costs 6 cents a pound for freight, , commission and marine insurance tor get hops from Oregon to Eng .'land. : Add 15 cents, the cost of growing, to the tariff and ship ping costs, and you have 39 cents. Last year the control set the Eng lish prfce at 38 cents. ?s -Depends On Home Prodaction The English demand for Ore gon hops depends largely on the . home' production. ; If they have a short' crop, they; will want a considerable tonnage' of Oregon . Iropfl. . ( ; But the . high class English Brewers want some. Oregon hops any way, to, help the weak Eng lish hop. Crregon grows a h'etter hop for the purpose than Cali fornia does. Better than Wash- the Wiorld ington, too. And the same brew ers will take a larger tonnage if they can get the highest quality. They want clean picking. They want a first class j pack. (The price, to say nothing of anyj de mand at all.aJsove baxa. necessi ties, in England for" Oregon hops in the future will depend on pick and pack. C - j ! ' 'j i j . ' . i " American . Demand Increases Mr. Cornoyer sayB ; there ihai been a very large growth of late in the American demand for hops, and the same may be said of the' Canadian demand. Our own country and Canada have taken up to date about 35,000 bales of the crop of last year, to say noth ing of the former crops that-were available. If this' thing keeps up, the hop 1 industry of Oregon will soon be on a solid footing again. Part of the increase is due to a larger consumption of the brews with less than half of one per cent , of alcohol. Likely there is a good deal of the old fashion ed beer being made; and the in crease of the real beer manufact uring in Canada has been rapid. , There are only 2000 bales' of hops of the 1924 crop left in the hands of the growers, and about the same number of the crops of tormer yearsu from! 1920 t'jul925-J : 'j Picked By Pound Xow.t . 11bps in Oregon will be ;picked by the pound this year, and 4ierr after. The price iwilj be ground 1 cent a pound, though no action has been taken. ,i j , Our hops in all well cultivated yards look well; now, some lice; some honey. dew, tut . -not more than usual at this; time. The bet ter season this, "year 'thafr'last ought to bring a . larger, humber of bales; but Mil fcornoyer thinks it will , not, owlng j to . the faulty attention so many yards- have been - getting., r-jj .-it J L' .

Federal Judge George M.' Bofquln, of Mon tana fined the; MOnroe "Logging company of -Monroie. Wash.,' $500 here today for porbiitting its logs to become snags ini the Snohomish river, north of heteJmpediajiaT- isatlon. i Salem Is thV center of the Ore gon hop industry. More hops are bought, from first. hands here in Salem than in any other city in the world. The Oregon hops are "near ly all raised In what the Slogan editor Is pleased to call the Salem district in the' trading district tributary to Salem. 1 1 f j The 1923 Slogan number devot ed to the hop Industry contained a statement from, a prominent man in. the industry that we had in Oregon then. 11,500 acres, and would likely produce 55,000 bales. ! Henry Cornoyer, . of Durbin & Cornoyer, hop growers and .deal ers, said we had 12,000 acres in khbps, then, and would produce c.n nan haica , . i jWe actually had 12,005 acres in hops that year, and we produced 60,000 bales, and ?oldkat an aver as'e price of 34;ents a pound; or over 10,000,000 pounds of hops, bringing a good deal above f 3. 000,000 of new money to this dis trict. (Counting 180 to 200 lbs. to the bale.) , Lower price Last Year The average prices received for our 1924 hop crop have been lit tle more than half those we re ceived for our 1923 crop. The average price received for our 1924 crop, up to date, has run very close to 18 cents a pound. ; ' As stated elsewhere, no one can predict; what the average' will be for the 1925 crop. The offered prijee to contract now is 15 cents a pound. '-' " . f j v ; Acreage Stationary 0ur Oregon hop acreage is sta tionary. I We have about ; 13,000 acres in hops. And no new acre age to speak of going out. .. There are now three hop. states left. .Oregon is in 'the lead,,. In producing the largest tonnage of quality hops. California will pro duce probably this year as many bales, 65,000, as Oregon; perhaps more, on about the same acreage. Washington will produce 30,000 to 45.000 ibalesl : --: -;:;: ;: Air the other states are out of hop growing on a commercial scale. Oregon hops go to Great Bri tain and to South America. South Africa, : Australia. Japan, and to scattering countries clear around the world. But over half of them have been sold In the past year to the markets of the United States and 'Canada, which is the most promising thing that has ap peared looking to "the stability of the Industry.

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN DID YOU KNOW That. for many years Salem has been the greatest hop buying center from first hands in the world; that Oregon is the greatest hop growing state in the Union; that the industry will persist permanently in the, Willamette valley, owing to the fact that there is grown here a superior, strong hop, for which there is a demand from foreign jts well as domestic buyeis; that at the prices that generally prevail few things that can be grown on the land are as profitable, and that the acreage or nops in me daiem aisinci wiu iiKeiy again increase, and the tonnage grow?

The . industry here, as represented by the leadings growers,- is on a more permanent basis than elsewhere in the entire world. The yards are laid out and equip ped with an idea of supplying a needed staple for all time. The best equipped yard of them all, and the finest hop yard in this land and other respects in the en tire world, is the. Lake Brook yard of T.A. Livesley & Co... on their Lake "Brook farm, seven miles be low Salem. The farm contains 640 acres, of which 390 acres are occupied by the hop. yard. ' There is an apartment house on this farm with 63 rooms and an other one built last year, with 38 rooms. The buildings :are electric lighted, have running water in eacJujrpoju. wth. stoves, xhairs, etc., and the camp ground is elec trically lighted. There: i3 a haljl for entertainment, and v- a large store, and 12 hop kilns. - There is nothing. just like this hop yard elsewhere In the world; no other yard as thoroughly "equipped. . T. A. Livesley & Co., developed a big hop yard four miles south of Balem, on the Riverside paved hoghway. There are 290 acres in hops here,' and patent steam dry- WORKERS SHARE 0 0B E1IP era are used; steam heat, drying the hops in seven hours, against 18 to 24 hours under the old sys tem. There are apartment houses at this yard.. This yard, however. now belongs to John J. Roberts . & Co- Mr. Roberts was formerly a member of te: firm of T. A, Livesley & Co. "J- ; H T. A Livesley & Co. have a 145 acre hop ranch two miles south west of Corvallis. It was former ly known as the Seavy yard. They have also the Murphy yard, 100 acres in hops, In the In dependence, district. -The Livesley people have been growing in their own yards about aj million pounds of hops a year. They employ . irrigation where ' available and needed. They have a1 thorough irrigation system for their Lake Brook ranch. In pick- ing time, they have had on their payrolls 2500 people at one time, They have a good sized payroll tbo , year through. " ( The Livesley people are alsa general dealers in hops, represent. L ing some of the greatest and old- ' est concerns in the world.

(Attention Slogan Editor) Dear sir: 1 following Is our slogan: "IN GROWING AND HARVEST ING THE HOP. THE WORKER GETS MOST OF THE CROP." Verifications Growing, har vesting and curing a pound of, hops crop is 2000 lbs to the acre; 2000 times 15c is S300. This $300 is the workers', part 'of the crop. We do not know of any other crop in the world that is grown on a large scale where the worker gets 300 out of every acre of that crop that is grown. The" best future con tract that can be obtained at pres ent, is 16c per pound for a term of three years. If the grower can possibly reduce his expense ' of growing, say to 13c a pound, his share of the crop profit is $60 per acre against $300 that the worker gets. The$ figures were true for 1924 and are holding their own for 1925. The grower's worth while profit only comes from one of those ... rare years where in all other countries hop crops fail and ours does not. This is what the grower is holding: on for. - : The proportionyof the grower's earnings, compared to the work er's earnings, on anracre of hops, is one to five, .In favor of the work er. No matter where the price, of hops is, the worker's $300 per acre always Is assured. WE NpED THE HOP INDUSTRY IN OUR STATE. . . .. . , j - This $300 that the worker gets as his part of the profit from each acre of hops grown In our state is in payment for his labor and commences to be paid to him In January and February when all work Is scarce. March, April and May are the peak months of the field work with. ,June,? July and August (when berries, lumbering, and other Oregorfjindtistries have a demand for the -"worker's time) only requiring a 'small number of workers. September is the har vest month when -the worker and his entire family ate- paid more 'or their labor than in almost any other line of work, excepting per haps cherry picking, and it is then that thousands of famTTTes provide': a winter nest egg. " There are aSout 12,000 acres or hops in Oregon; three hundred dollars from, each acre of these hops, or three million and six hun dred thousand dollars, annually, go. to" the workers of our state from the various hop fields of the state. LET'S KEEP THE HOP INDUSTRY. ; h: w. ord. (Mr, Ord writes from the Eola Ranch. .Independence,, Oregon, un der date of June 15th. He repre sents E. Clemens Horst Co., hop growers'.
