Hop Control
Board Sets
Sales for 951
. The 17. S. hop control board Fri
day approved sale of 232,500 bales
f of the 1951 hop crop, of an esti-i
mated total yield : of more than
300,000 bales. ;
This was the report from Yaki
ma last night from Paul T. Rowell
of Salem, managing agent for the
board. " ,
The quantity of hops to be mar
keted is less than last year's 250,
000 bales, said Rowell, because
brewers are using less hops this
year. jr.- -"-v
The decision means that on the
average a hop grower can sell only
77 per cent of his crop.
