C7 Hop Picking Near End Growers at Mt. Angel And Eldriedge See . j Harvest Finish MT. ANGEL Hop .picking Is practically over in this district The last of the ML Angel grow ers finished the early part of this week. There is still-some scattered picking in the outlying districts, but this, too,' will be cleaned up this week. ' The hop crop was light this year but of very good quality. Picking was good with the price ranging all the way from one and one-half cents to two cents per pound. The ML Angel Abbey yards, some of the largest in the vicinity, paid the highest price of two cents for picking, and it was nothing . unusual for fast pickers to average $8 per day. However, good wages were made in all the yards, this in spite of the demand for cleaner picking. , Most of the growers had trained up a second crop of vines after the early summer rains had ruined the first ones. This made the har vest several weeks later but re- established only in certain coun ties designated as commercial (potato areas. Procedure for set ting allotments has been changed somewhat The wheat program remains much the same as last year, ex cept that It will not be necessary to grow up to 80 per cent of a farm's allotment to qualify for special crop payments. A new practice provides for application of boron or borax in collection with the seeding of leguminous cover crops and perennial le gumes. Changes in the range program, combined this year with the farm conservation program, provide for the practices of rotational and limited grazing under approved plans, to encourage conservation on smaller ranches and on west ern Oregon livestock farms.
