Guy Fendall of Willamina says
It sure does pay to use phosphate,
lie says not only bis! own, but
crops of his neighbors all the way
to Yamhill show the improvement,
when applied to legume crops this
year. H. R. Bodine, near Yam
hill, points to his one field where
the iuper-phosphate spreader
made some skips in the corner of
subterranean clover field. The
clover In these skips was much
lighter in color, shorter and less
luscious in growth. H. R. put
bout SOO pounds of the phosphate
to the acrei He adds it makes lots
better feed for cattle . . Just the
same difference, sort of, as if ycu

i One of the larger increases list
ed in the hop yard circles in the.
Willamette valley this year is mat
of Mike Walker over at Independ
ence. But while it Is listed as
i one of the big increases this year
I It is really a "return." 'Walker
purchased the Oregon Hop com
pany plantings, cleaned out the
old acreage, leveled up the ground
and is now returning it to hops.

7 While we are on this hop sub
ject we note that the biggest
amount of the hop crop for this
year is contracted. The prices are
somewhat varied, running from SO
to 63 cents for the 6 per cent leaf
and stem content. Average price
estimation has been placed at 57 Vi
cents. i
The other night at a hop meet
ing, the Ranch Rambler was cer
tainly surprised at the variance
In hop production costs. Some
growers- claimed it cost them
f fully 60 cents to produce. Others
swore up -and down (and in some
cases this is very literal) that the
-cost of growing them was be-
i j tween 47 and SI cents a pound.

Father Cyril Lebold, OSB, who
is up at St Benedict's division of
I Mt. Angel, told the hop growers
' that "Oregon is going out of hops
unless we protect ourselves very
careiuiiy. . ;He went on to say
that while the hop marketing
agreement "had a lot of bujgs in
it we are making as much out of
our hops as if we raise other
things.". He indicated he thinks!
the growers better leave well
enough alone. Until "such a time
as we organize ourselves into
