Pickers Got 25 Cents "At Lebanon hop growers have agreed to pay only 25 cents per box.to pickers this year on account of the extremely low prices pre vailing, it thought Chinamen can be induced to pick at that pri?.r Many East Independence resl dents of 40 years ago recall that Chinamen and Indians picked all the hops in that district then Schools began earlier In the fall in those days because the children did not work in the hop fields and ofttimes boys and girls in the East Independence or "Riverside school would hear a slight noise at a window and catch a native of China with his face pressed close to the glass intensely watching the pupils and their teacher at work. The children were so familiar with the Chinamen that they had no fear of them but not so the teachers many of whom were. young women eighth grade gradu ates of the Salem schools. The Chinamen camped close to the school during hop picking time and were always courteous to both the teacher and her pupils. The prevailing price of picking, 80 cents per hundred at the pres ent time, is about equivalent to a dollar a hundred a year ago In comparison to the value of a dol lar then and now. According to reports the hop crop will be gath ered by Oregon residents this sea son thus aiding the unemployment situation in the state. SSI W. C.
