A movement is on foot among the
bop growers around Dallas to have
their hops picked by weight this year
instead of by the box. A call for
meeting of the growers to consider the
advisability of picking by weight has
been issued, and the matter is being
generally discussed. The meeting
will be held in Dallas on Wednesday,
August 23.
Picking hops by weight has been
steadily growing In favor among Ore
gon hop raisers, and the method
promises to eventually take the place
of the box system. Many hop raisers
in the Ballston and Salt Greek dis
tricts, in Northern Polk county, have
been picking by weight for several
years, and say that the results are
satisfactory in every respect. The
pickers prefer this system, especially
where the hops are small, and the
growers favor it because each picker
Is paid for the exact amount of hops
picked, and a less number of yard
hands are required in harvesting the
crop. Under this system, no box
emptiersare necessary, tuo hops being
emptied from the pickers' baskets
directly into the sacks.
While the weight system has its
advantages over the box system, it is
not certain that the change will be
made this year. The pickers in and
around Dallas have always been
accustomed to picking by the box, and
the growers may decide to continue
the old method.

TAKE WISE PRECAUTION
Dallas Public School Building Is Pro.
vlded With Excellent Proction
From Fire.
The Dallas public school building
will be provided with excellent pro-
tection against fire and an am pi
supply of water fordrinking purposes
when the improvements now under
way are completed. A sftind-pipe will
be erected in the building, with a hose
reel and a plentiful supply of hose in
the attic, in each hall, and in the
basement. Water will be supplied
through a two-in eh pipe from the city
main on Ash street. Drinking taps
and wash basins will be liberally dis
tributed throughout the building.
The plumbing is being done by Wag
ner Brothers, of this city.
Director William Grant, who
superintending the improvement, in
forms us that it is the intention of the
School Board to put in a service that
will reduce the risk of loss by fire to
the minimum and at the same time
furnish pure, mountain water for the
students to drink. He says that the
Board will probably recommend that
a fire company be organized among
the students of the seventh and eighth
grades, and that these boys be thor
oughly drilled In the use of the fire
apparatus. If this course is pursued,
it will be next to impossible for fire to
destroy the big school building, and
the lives of the children will be safe at
all times.
