There has not been a time in
a good many years, says an In
dependence grower, when hops
were as backward as they are at
this time. The majority of the
growers have laid off their train

exceptionally cold weather which
has prevailed during the entire
spring season. There was not a
single trainer in many of the
hop yards during the past week.
