"The Fighting Shepherdess LIBERTY something of a vacation and. a Job for many Oregonians, who count the sea sons by their hop-picking adventures, says the Albany Democrat. ".Box full!" Wire down!" Memories and antici pation are awakened by the .familiar cries. There is always the element that hies to the hopyard "for its health."

First there are the long, unbroken trellises, loaded down with strippers and bunches. With song and chatter the pickers start the season.

Load after load of fat hop-sacks are waiting at the dryer, and the baler is busy cramming the crop within stout wires and strong burlap. Tents and camp stove food and acrid wood smoke that somewhow is' good to draw into the lungs; these are the joys of hop-picking. A deck of hop checks, good for gold, at the bank, is really but aa incidental. Hop-picking is an other pleasant thing held out by Ore gon to her people.
