If the grower does not count his own labor, he can shade that cost. of course; but his time ought to l be worth as mucn as tnat or nirea help. I The Average Yield The average yield of hops, espe-,The Jcially in the upland districts, is, around 1000 to 1200 pounds an bin & Cornoyer generally get about 1900 pounds to the acre onj their Mitoma ranch, over a toni their Curtis yard, and also bet- ter than a ton o nthe Howell Prai-iin Jrie ranch. It should be explained that the latter ranch has been heavily fertilised; very heavily. And lime supplied. Oar Total Yield Oregon produced in 1925 about 65,000 bales of cluster hops, and 10.000 bales of fuggles or early hops. In 1926 the crop was 80,- 000 to 85,000 bales, 200 pounds to the bale, of which only about 4000 .bales were fuggles. Light crop for fuggles that year. Our crop last year was 82,000 bales, of which 10,000 bales were of the fuggles variety. The site of the crop of 1928, no one can say. The weath er has been too dry and too cool for good growing conditions. It may be better in the future. The next three weeks will have a lot that is, the kind of weather we get in the next three weeks. Our acreage is sufficient for a 100,000 bale crop; 200 pounds to the bale. It may fall a good deal short of this, with continued dry weather. We had In Oregon last year about 13.000 acres of hops.

In Wash ington and California, they do not keep an accurate record of their hop acreage, like there Is kept by dealers in Salem of the Oregon yards. Any way, Oregon will after this al-.year have considerably more than (half of all the hop acreage In the United dStates. No other states now grow hops commercially to any appreciable extent. New York, once one of th ebig hoo .states, now grows practically none. Oregon yards so far this year have no red spider, and few lice outlook for a rood sized crop would - be good, with very favor- able weather conditions from now qu- normal crop of the fuggles variety is about 8000 bales, in Growers' Hands There are about 2200 hales of the 1927 crop of Oregon hoos still the hands of rrowers Thev are in the "hands of 45 different growers. These hops, or those of good quality, are worth now about 21 cents a pound. That Is the "spot" price for good hops now. There are 1000 bales of the 1926 crop in the hands of growers Four growers own them. There is no quoted market price for these. The makers of malt extracts that go into "home brew," in this conn try, cannot use them. But drug gists and others who sell hops to "home brew" customers may use them. As to the Future Now, as to the future of our hop industry. What about that? Mr. Cornoyer says contracts can be made for the coming crop, now, at 17 to 20 cents a pound; de pending on quality partly on the i reputation of the different grow ers for furnishing a poor quality of dirty or badly picked hops or a good quality and clean picked and properly cured and packed hops. Last year at this time, the con tracts being offered ran from 18 to 19 cents a pound. Some Ore gon growers have old contracts Some of them run up to 1931 or longer. The American demand for hops has been Increasing during the past six or seven years, and is still increasing. Part of th eiacrease 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 fashioned beer being made; and the "malt extract" business, to supply "home brew" consumers V Urge. There has also been a steady Increase of the Canadian demand, for real beer manufactur ing. But the new yards of British Columbia, part of them owned by Americans and some of these Sa lem men, may make a difference In th eCanadian demand for hops grown on this side of the interna tional line. As to the foreign demand? England has always taken a lot of Oregon hops. They hare been needed in that country for high class bottled beverages. The Eng lish brewers hare found them bet ter for this purpose than Califor nia hops, or their own, or any other. But there is a crisis in the Eng lish hop situation. The hop con trol that lasted tor tire years In that country expired August :1S. 1921. During the time of the con trol American hops were admitted only as needed by the brewing in dustry. The thin to take the place of the control was a tariff. and that amounts to about 18 cents a pound In American money. ai nrst it cost about s cents a pound for freight, commission and marine insurance to get hops from Oregon t England. Add IB cents, the cost of growing to the tariff and shipping costs; and you have 29 cents. (The 6 cents was re duced to about 5 cents, so the cost figure is now about 38 cents a pound for our -.bps laid down in England.) .Right now, London dealers are sending back American hops, de- Lliverl-g them in New York at 23 cents a pound. They are of course tasg a big loss. Mr. Cornoyer's explanation Is that the English dealers sending back American to Your Wonderful City and Section MDTOTMES ram e n urn w lOiBESTEQOIPPEDIHlSSECTIl Irrigation From the Willamette River With a Pumping Sys tem That Is Automatic, the Water Being Carried in Per manent Concrete Pipes and Applied Through Canvas Hose The Permanent Pipes, Costing $60 an Acre, Will Pay for Themselves Each Dry Season in Increased Tonnage of Hops The Market Price of Hops When the Slogan man of The of his yards.

Llvesley A Co., hop growers and merchants and represent- tive. of big London firms, he was told that Mr. Needahm was on his', vacation; that he could be found on his own Brown's Island hop Co., and about the hop industry of the state generally. Got Other Items The reporter got the informa tion he went after, and more. He found Mr. Needham in the thick of cultivating and irrigating his own hop yards. He was driving a tractor on Wednesday afternoon. the regular man for that job be ing sick. Mr. Needham had taken a week off for his vacation, and he will return to the Llvesley of fice on the top floor of the First National bank building tomorrow after about as hard a week's work as one can imagine. A profitable way to spend a vacation. And no doubt as beneficial to the health as most any other way. Mr. Needham has 310 acres of land of his own on Brown's Island. in the summer time, bu wnich is very much of an island in the rainy season, and most of which is no island at all in flood seasons of the Willamette river, but is under water. Some of it under many feet of water. Every foot of the Needham land is under wa ter at some period of nearly each winter. But preparations and ar rangements are made accordingly. And a lot of benefit comes from the new soli that is washed down rom above onto the land. Wonderful Hop C-ud The Needham land makes up what was formerly two farms; the Bowen farm and that which belonged to Mark Savage. Of the 310 'acres, Mr. Needham has in hops 134 acres. He has in one field 62 acres of the fuggles vari ety; the early hops. In another yard he has 28 acres of the clus ters variety, and in a third yard 28 acres. All bearing this year. He expects to have this year 400 bales of fuggles hops, and 200 bales in the smaller yard of clusters and 500 bales from the other yard; or 1100 in all. If he has exceptionally good luck, he will be able to market from his yards . 12 00 .ales; 200 pounds to the bale. If he gets 25 cents a pound, or even 20 cents, that will be some money. Permanent Irrigation System Mr. Ne6dham irrigates his hops. He has the whole Willamette riv er for his supply. He has an au tomatic pumping plant. It runs itself. Uses a stand pipe to get the water high enough for any part THE SALEM DISTRICT HAS THE BEST EQUIPPED HOPYABD IH THE WORLD The Oregon Hop Acreage Is Now About 17,000 Hop Grow ing in This section Is on a Permanent Basis, Conducted in a Reliable Business -Manner, and Employing the Best Cul tural and Other Methods, as a General Rule--ln Picking Time, Lake Brook Hop Ranch World leadership Is being taken1 in Salem and the Salem district in several of the industries on the land, hooked up with packing and shipping methods in the city. This is true of the flax industry. Of the mint Industry. Of the straw berry and bush fruit industries. Others are coming or will come into the lime light in this respect. It is true of the hop Industry now. As has been said and repeated often in these columns, there are many very well equipped hop yards In the Salem district.'' The industry here, as represented by the leading: growers, is on a more permanent basis than elsewhere in the entire world. The yards are laid out and equipped 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 and in other respects .In the en tire world is the Lake Brook yard of'T. A. Llvesley A 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 another one built In 1924 with 38 rooms: There are four more such apartment houses; six in all, and for This Year Not Definite uses canvas hose, 200 feet long. a " cn ,r"" te two acre, a day. There are a nambr ontletf th1 men may worx at once, wnen nec essary. This permanent pipe sys m u" or hoP lwld- But ir tem has cost Mr. Needham f 60 hops, and these at even as low as or lower than 20 cents a pound, will give him around $100 an acre more, money than he would get without Irrigation. So ho fig ures that the irrigation system, ever even this permanent system, will pay for itself each year. Some years, when hop prices are high, It will more than pay for itself. And it will outlast the lives of the present generation. Perhaps many generations. In Other Respect-, Fine Mr. Needham said contracts at 20 cents a pound were being of fered when he went on his vaca tion, but not many, if any, were being written. Growers generally are angling for better offers. But London firms have been sending American hops back to New York, delivering them at 23 cents there; manifestly taking losses. Mr Needham hopes for better than 20 cents for his own hops, which will no doubt be of fine quality. And, by the same sign, he hopes for better than 20 cents for the rest of the growers here. But he is making no predictions. The ac tion of the London dealers may or may not be a gesture. They may actually have too many bales of American hops, and are unload ing, or they nay hope by the gesture to.be able to scare Ameri can growers and write some low priced contracts. The English dealers are canny business men. Another Story, Still The Brown's Island land is wonderful hop land. There are other yards on the island. It grows anything that can be pro duced in this section. The Need- nam place is pernaps not more than two miles from the city lim its of Salem "as the crow flies It is across the river from the log dump on the Falls City line, above West Salem'. By the Riverside highway drive, and south through the bottom lands from the Ball place on the Riverside drive, it is four or five miles from Salem. The reporter got another fine news item on the Needham place, concerning a major grafting pro gram for walnut trees. But that Is another story, already publish ed in The Statesman. It is the biggest news item in that field in Oregon, so far as the - writer knows. Is a Busy City in the Country tal of 1200 people. The build ings are electric lighted, have run ning water in each room, with stoves, chairs, etc., and the camp ground is electrically lighted. There is a hall nr entertainment and a large store, and 1C hop kilns. Two of them were new In 1925 and two In 1928. The former tents have all been torn down. There is nothing just like this hop yard elsewhere in the world; no other yard as thoroughly equipped. T. A. Llvesley A Co. develop ed a big hop yard four miles south ol Salem, on the Riverside paved highway. There are 290 acres in hops here, and patent steam dry ers are used; -steam heat, drying the hops m seven hours, againsti 18 to 24 hours under the old sys tem. There are apartment houses at this yard. The yard, however, now belongs to John J. Roberts as Co. Mr. Roberts was formerly a member of the firm of T. A. Llvesley A Co. T. A. Llvesley A Co. had up to last year a 145 acre -hop ranch two miles southwest of Corrallis. It was. . tounerly. kxuxwn . as . the Seavy yard. This yard has been taken over by Leroy L. Pankalla, foreman of their ' Murphy ranch, 'near Independence. yard, acres ta hop. the In dependence district. Part of these were "baby" hops last year. They are an full bearing vines this year. The Llvesley people hare been growing in their own yards about a million pounds of hops a year They employ Irrigation where available and needed. They hare a thorough irrigation system for their Lake Brook ranch, and they Installed In 1926 an irrigation system for-their Cprvallis yard. The Lake Brook ranch Irrigation system has been provided with permanent concrete underground pipes, in use for the first time this year. This improvement has cost about 860 an acre; but It will last for all time, and there Is a saving justifying the additional cost, under the expense of using movable metal pipes In getting the water at the points needed. Only a canvas hose is required now in applying the water. This perma nent concrete piping was made in Salem, by the Oregon Gravel company. Tills concern nas maae all of this kind of pipe that has gone into the big hop yards of this section. Large Payrolls In picking time, the Llvesley people have had on their payrolls 2500 people at one time. They have a good sized payroll the year through. They are also general dealers in hops, representing some of the greatest and oldest .concerns in the world. Frank E. Needham, their cash ier, who has been with the Lives ley people for many years, has been very helpful to the Slogan editor always, in getting informa tion for publication concerning the industry, There is usually irrigation throughout June, July and Au gust. If and when need. This makes in some seasons a differ ence of at least 25 per cent in the yield; though the land on the Lake Brook yard is very rich; river bottom land. City and Farm At the Lake Brook yard, the Salem T. M. C. A. each year con ducts headquarters, with reading matter, radio, and entertainments of many kinds developing talent or finding it among the pickers-, and helping in entertainment fea tures in other yards. This tends to good order and a satisfied body of pickers. The ex pense is paid by Mr. Livesley, who was the largest contributor to wards the new Y. M. C. A. build ing In Salem. Mr. Livesley is the present mayor of Salem. He Is also the moving spirit in the organization of the Canadian Hop Growers, Ltd., with a 600 acre hop ranch near Chillwack, B. C. This Is the largest hop yard in the world. H. W. Ord, formerly with the Horst yard near Independence, in the Salem dis trict, has charge of the British Columbia operations. The Horst yard, with 550 acres, is next to the largest hop yard in the world. Oregon's Hop Acretage Oregon now has about 17.000 acres in hops. The Livesley peo ple have a list of 520 growers, who have in hops 16,987 acres. This is supposed to be a complete list; the full acreage. This acre age is capable of producing 100, 000 bales of 200 pounds each. The yield for this year will likely be somewhat short of this, in the opinion of Mr. Needham. It would be much larger than this, if all the yards were Irrigated, like those of the Livesley people and a number of the other large, forward looking and long headed growers. The Oregon hop acre age is nearly all in the Willamette valley, and the great bulk of it in the Salem trading district. At a price of 20 cents a pound, it is around a $4,000,000 annual crop, and it may run up a million dol lars higher or more, in high price years. In picking time, it takes about 50.000 pickers and other la borers In the fields and drying plants. The Llvesley people, as hop merchants, sell hops direct to many countries, besides acting as agents for the big English firms, and others. Federal standards for somb and extracted honey are giving a great Impetus to the beekeeping indus try, with prospects that they will be adopted internationally. Al ready United States standard grades and graders are used in New Zealand, Hamburg and Lon don. Numerous Importers and ex porters ,of other nationality, also are using them. In the past two years Ohio has expended 1767,900 to remunerate the owners of sheep killed by dogs. DIXIE HEALTH BREAD Ask Your Grocer DEPENDABLE WELDING Electric and Acetylene . C D..OPPEN !

W TTh TTTP O R T II IIV JL JL MORE THAN HALF THE HOP ACREAGE Oregon has over 17,000 acres of hops and wifl have ever 19,000 acres next- year Over half the acreage in the United States; California .-d Washington together having perhaps less than 17,000 acrr And the bulk of the Oregon crop is produced in the Salem district; in the Salem trading territory, the central Willam ette valley. Salem is the world's hop center; growing more so year; the largest primary hop market in the world; that i-f the largest buying market from first hands And we have tributary to this city the largest single li p growing section of the whole earth; capable of indefinite t x pansion. yf y; There will always be hops grown in the Salem district, for there are many uses for hops, including the drug trade, trade of the bakers for yeast, of mild malt drink? And there is no doubt concerning the rapid and steady growth of the Latter trade, and some of the leaders in it are perdicting that it will bring back the hop industry to its pristine vigor, and then some, and keep it there. The makers of such malt drinks as "Columbia Brew," 'Tacoma Brew," "Rainier Brew," and a long list of similar malt drinks, or some of the men connected with these people, are saying that these drinks, at the present increase in their sales will soon be using more hops than the brewers of the old school were using in the days when the country was "wet." In some cases, the same plants are being used as before and the same processes employed, excepting the taking out a part of the alcohol; getting it allowed under the law. So it is exactly the product of 11 days minus the kick; minus the liability to make a drinker drunk. Whatever qualities conductive to health were poss essed by the old fashioned beer, with 4.4 per cent alcohol or - J I 4 U uiuie, are pusscssacu uy uiese ureway-or must 01 mem And the makers of one of them say they have spent $100, 000 in perfecting machinery for taking out the right amount of alcohol. They are saying that all that is needed now, to put hops back on the map in even bigger letters, and to stay, is AD VERTISING; a campaign big enough to show the people the Health giving qaulities of good malt drinks, with less th;m half of one per cent of alcohol in them. Any way, there iy the idea, and of a surety something is happening to make an increasing demand for hops in this country. Oregon holds first place in the United States, or in l!s' world, in quality hops produced and Oregon means praeti- cally only the Salem district And the importance of this is well illustrated by the fact that the share of the workers in producing the Salem district hop crop is around four million dollars annually; based en the 17,000 acres now in hops here. , We have here some of the best equipped yards in t he world; we have many strong men among our growers, and it is to be taken as a matter of course that every legitimate ef- lort is to be made, and ought n A i A. 1 1 J J -i limey m me nop wotiu, ana u increase u, Dy proper metnous. This is not to be taken as advice tc any farmer to put out more hops; every one must take his own chances in this respect. The strong growers wi'V always have the advantage, because they are the best able to contract ahead and to take advantage of the best markets; and they are the best able to stand losses in lean years due to poor markets or other causes. The only way in which properly trained teachers for the small high schols can be equipped, deci ded specialists at the recent west ern educational conference at Los Angeles, is to take teachers having broad training in the necessary vocational subjects and give them at the same time some breadth of information rather than depth in the usual academic subjects. Dean James R. Jewell, head of the fchool of vocational education at Oregon Agricultural college, was one of the principal speakers. The conference was called by John T. Tigart, United States commission er of, education, and included all states west of the Missouri river.
