PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1925 FIRST RAIN FINDS MOST OF HOPS HERE UNDER COVER LESS THAN 1 5,000 BALES II SOLD About 40 nor cent of the hop yards were through picking and tlio nickers ffonr- when the belated hoimickPi'fl' ruin descended this mornlnir. It 1a expected the bull of the remaining yards will be through by Saturday night and the hie trek homo win atari, ha uioub- aiidB of pickers have children they want to have in school next Mon day morning. And a situation exists In the mar ket never seen In Oregon before. It Ifl estimated there are not more than 15.000 bales of the 8J.000 bale crop left In the growers' handH and hoppicking not completely over yet. Considerable buying la nlill going on, although for I ho lm mediate present the market la mild to be quiet. Two local dealera havo made the rough estimate on 15,000 bales left with the growers, figured out about os follows: 5000 bales in the Independence district aa far as Bcuna Vistn, 3500 hales In the Sa lem district, flomethlng over 1000 In the Albany dlatrJct, from 800 to 900 in the Grants Vam aectlone, 1(100 In the Dallas district as for as Forest Grove, 1000 In the Au rora district, 900 to 1000 In the Rugcno district, from 800 to 900 In the Silverlon and Alt. Angel sec tion. A local operator today is cabling Ms London correspondent In res ponse to an Iniiulry that from 30 to 70 per cent of the recent opera tions have been for the domestic and Canadian market which would Indicate that thla operators' opin ions are not along the lines of ex ceedingly heavy speculation by New York operators, gambling the conttnuental situation. It is reported that the home brew trado has taken on new life In the east because of the intro duction of a malt syrup which . carries a very heavy percentage of hops. This malt syrup la said to be a godsend to the party who "brewH his own aa it greatly nc celcrates the production of a batch of home brew and does away en tirely with the telltale smell which had become so annoying to the home brewer. When the home brewer was required lo boll his own hops the territory for blocks around was scented by the ormoa. But In the new heavy half eyrup this Is completely done mvay with, and the report ta that the malt syrup may be used In ono apart ment In nn apartment house, with out a ncighbur even In the name apartment house getting a solitary! whiff. According to the under ground advices big near heor man ufacturers are buying thousands of bales of hops for preparation of thin new malt syrup, and this has had nn exceedingly stimulating ef fect on the market. In addition Canadian trndo Is said to bo flour ishing and using a considerable greater quantity of hops than or dinarily. In short, those who contend that this Is not a speculative market, say that regardless of prohibition the consumption of beer is so .itead lly on the Increase in the United Slates It has run the hop market up. They also contend It will re main up. , On the other hand there are oth er dealers who as consistently con tend the mnrket Is purely specula tive and may break at any lime. Time will del ermine who Is right. plant will pack the crop of the .Salem growers local. The final net returns on the 1924 crop will be distributed to mem bers soon. The packing cost for last year was slightly lens than 0 cents per pound.

" Office Phone 75 or Residence Phone 1843-W Brief on appeal In the case in volving the constitutionality of the new hop picking law which quires picking by weight has been filed In the mipreme court by Al lan G., and Wallace P. Carson, an pealing from Judge Ramsey of Polk county, who upheld the con stitutionallty of the law. The brief contends that the new hop picking law Is not a valid ex ercise of the police power, that It does not promote the public wel fare and that it Is discriminatory as a hop grower is slngieu out for submission to a regulation from which growers of prunes, apples, berries, potatoes, flax and similar fruits and vegetables are exempt "We submit that the 1025 not is arbitrary, and unreasonable and unfair to nppellan , that it dlscrim inatcs agninst and places unreason able and useless burdens upon t gainful, harmless and proper bunl ness while It leaves other businesses n the same category un trammel ed and free, nnd that there is no basis for the discrimination and Inequality handed out," etntes the nrlef. The brief asserts that the new law does not provide where the hops shall be weighed in the fields or in the drier. That It does not prescribe when they shall be weighed before or after drying and it directly covers a case where an owner by his own hands picks his own hops, and requires him to weigh the hops picked by himself whether he will or no, presumably to prevent him cheating himself. The brief further states the law does not stotc whother the hops shall be weighed upon a basis of green or dry weight, green hops shrinking nnd decreasing about 75 per cent In weight In drying. "We submit," states the brief, "that the regulation attacked 1ms no relation to the, due exercise of the police power and unreasonably and oppressively burdens appel lant, with no benefit to the public or anyone, excepting perhaps, thp small ring of growers who were particleps crimlnis In foisting this upon the public." The brief also contains a cllp- ping from the Capital Journnl tell- ng of experiences had by pickers in a local hopyard. L T. Dick and L.

A part of these he has purchased green and Is drying at his large dryer in Dallas and the remainder have been purchas ed throughout the county. The quality of the 1925 prunes Is proving even better than antici pated and they have graded lnrg-l In consequence prune men who had a semblnnc of a crop will do quite well this season.
