THE HOP OUTLOOK.
The Increase in Acreage in Ben
ton County. -
The acreage ia hops has been
materially inci eased in Benton
county, the pa-.t taT, many new
I ard bearing their first crop this
season. While there is no men
tion of an unusual yield in any
of the yards near Corvallis, there
is promise of a good crop unless
turther damage results from hot
weather, lice or other trouble.
The only irjury so far is that
done by the intense hea wbicli
ten-ly cooked the tender iunners,
rnd this will mesn considerable
damage.
Among the yards that havc
been increased in size and are
bearing this year on the new
vines are Johnson Porter's, in
creased 25 acres; Ireland's, 56
acres; S. N. Lilly, 10 acres, and
the Island yard, 42 acres.
There is an even growth of the
hops, the condition ot the crop
is good and the quality first rate.
Some gioweis consider the
crop a little iate, while others
say .that it is about the same as
usual. The Lilly and Osburn
yr is are said to be in fine shape,
with prospects for a heavy yield;
the Johnson Porter vard," accord
ing .to the estimate of a local hop
man, will not do so well, 50
pounds per acre being the rough
estimate, and 800 pounds it is
said will be a good yield for tl e
inland yard, judging from appear
ances.
Out at Philomath there has
been no increase " in the hop
acreage, but at Wells station and
vicinity the industry has received
marked attention the past year.
John Harris has twenty acres
that are bearing for the first time
this year, and he . is now erecting j
a hop house to accommodate the
crop. Markus Hodges has 12
acres of new vines and is just
completing a new hop house;
Lee Brown has 30 acres bearing
for the first time this year, and
the Miller boys who are running
the Ben Harris yard have 30
acres of young vines.
In most of the Corvallis yards
it appears that the owners intend
lo pick by the box, the price dis
cussed being 50 cents per box.
Where picking by weight is done
the price is one cent per pound.
Beard of Equalization.
The Equalization Board of Benton
county will meet in the office of the
county clerk of Benton county, at the
court house in Benton county, Oregon,
on Monday, the 27th day of August,
1906, for six days from said date to cor
rect any errors or double assessments on
said roll. T.H.Davis,
