The WFA described Oregon market activity as only moderate, with most of the 1944; crop al ready contracted. New l contracts written here covered three- and five-year periods, based on ceil ing or market prices with a mini mum guarantee or 85 cents a pound in 1944, 75 cents in 1945, 65 cents in 1946, 50 cents in 1947 and 1948. All prices were quoted on seeded hops, with' premiums on semi-seedless or seedless. Plantings indicate an increase of some 1500 acres in Oregon this season, the WFA said, and crop conditions promise a good yield.

Concerned over a 40 per cent cutj in the quota of Mexican na tionals to be allotted to this area, growers' representatives said they would enlist a state official and make a personal plea to federal government officials at Washing ton.1 - Sens. Guy Cordon and Rufus Holman and Representative Low ell Stockman advised the growers that they had taken up with gov ernment agencies the question of obtaining more Mexican laborers. Oregon's quota of such workers was -placed at 1500, compared with more than 2000 last year. R. Beck of Portland, head of the state farm labor program, in formed the growers that he had suggested to his superiors in Washington that an error had been made in the allocation.
