Cross Fingers
By IJille I Madsea
. Farm Editor, The Statesman
Hop growers are keeping their
fingers crossed both as to crop
and price, it was revealed Thurs
day. Strengthening markets and
prices since the first of the month
have , been reported in the Wu
lamette hop growing sections, but
growers 'are none too happy be
cause of the loss of potential crops.
Surveys made Thursday In the
Independence district, as well as
in other heavy hop growing afeas.
show that damage to nopt vines
from mildew is not negligible. A
number of vines had to be ; re
moved early in the growing sea
son because of the heavy Infesta
tion of the mildew. In other yards.
portions of vines were removed.
Destine- Continued
However, favorable weather
throughout the latter part of June
has brought on' the hop vines
nicely and almost full recovery
was expected until the rain set
in early this week. Much dusting
has been done in yards this spring,
and quality and quantity of the
crop will depend much upon the
weather within the next three
weeks. Independence growers said.
So far the loss sustained by
growers whose vines have "been
attacked by downy mildew has
not been offset by the gain in
price noted this month.
Contracting- Slew
Few contracts are beiif g made
now because of the dual situation
which points to higher prices than
those which were Quoted around
the first of the month. These were
5 to 10 cents higher than .the
553 cents for which quite a
number of Willamette valley
growers contracted their 194S
hops earlier in the spring. Quota
tions Thursday stood around 62
cents.
The total United States stocks
of hops in June, according to the
federal agricultural department,
were 38,800,000 pounds, some
8.290,000 pounds less than the
March 1 total and compared with
carryover holdings last Septem
ber 1, the beginning of the cur
rent marketing year, of 23,770,
000 pounds. In June, growers were
listed as holding but 1,400,000
nounds. with brewers holding
more than 34 million pounds and
dealers the remaining two and a
half million pounds.
Blast Blamed
On Gas Main
A ruptured gas main under a
parked car owned by Mrs. Melvin
Veiraska. Salem route 7. caused
an unexpected explosion in the
car's motor Friday afternoon at
Chemeketa and Water streets, sa
lem do lice report.
When Mrs. Veiraska returned to
her car after parking at the cor
ner earlier in the day, police said,
she stepped on the starter. A spark
evidently ignited the gas wnien
had accumulated under the hood
from the leaking gaa main under
her car. The front of the car was
badly burnt, police said, but Mrs.
Vejra&ka was not hurt. City fire
men extinguished the blaze.

In State Traffic
During June
' Forty - two persons lost their
lives 'in Oregon traffic accidents
during June to boost the mid-year
death toll .lo 186, Secretary of
State Earl T. Newbry announced
Friday. .. .
The figures compare with 208
lives lost in the same period last
year for an 11 per cent reduction
in deaths. At the same time, auto
mobile registrations were increas
ing 10 per cent and mileage about
seven per cent, Newbry averred.
Cities and towns accounted for
40 deaths in the six month period,
the remainder Joeing charged to
smash-ups in rural areas. The four
to one ratio between rural and ur
ban fatalities is almost identical
to that experienced throughout
1947, Indicating speedy highway
driving is still the major death-dealer.
