Growers Afraid to Suggest

Get it; top is 66
No bop sales were reported
here yesterday, though the mar
ket continued yery firm and deal
ers were anxious to. buy. The top
price of the season holds at C6
cents per pound on a 250-bale
deal between dealers. Offers of
68 cents were refused yesterday.
and there were unconfirmed re
ports of options at 70 cents.
Growers are holding tight and
as one man put it "We're afraid
to name a price for fear we'U
get it." "With the stalemate Id
deals, there Is little doubt ? but
that growers will hit the 75-cent
money that looked like an Uto
pian bonanza only a few weeks
ago.
In Oregon, less than 10,000
bales of hops, or in exact fig
ures, 9,538 bales, of all ages are
on hand now in grower and
grower-dealer hands, a check
made yesterday shows. At 75
cents a pound, these hops now
on hand would be worth 1,
500,001. It Is estimated a mil

come into Oregon on hop deals In
the last 30 days.
This Is the lowest point to
which holdings bare dwindled In
many years, and indicates how
heary has been the sales since
last October. -
Brewery operations are largely
cause of the spectacular boost In
hop prices. The increase in the
price, as, well as the prohibition
status, has also .caused a heary
Increase in bop acreage, various
ly estimated In Oregon at be

These new hops will not be any

GET RELIEF WORK
Preparations were begun yes
terday to send between 1100 and
1709 men to work on county
roads under the R. F. C. "relief
plan next month despite the fact
that the fruit picking season will
begin then. The nearly total de
struction of strawberries and
raspberries by the winter freese
will greatly diminish the usual
early summer rush of
employ-
ment. lt Is believed.
The number of men who will
obtain the relief, work during
June - represents a small redue -
tlon from the crews working In
I -&Dril according to D. D. Dot -
son, assistant manager ot the
U. S.-Y. M. C. A. Employment
bureau.
Approximately 225 men have
been dropped from the relief lists
because they either have obtained
