Good progress is being made in harvesting the hops in the Dallas district, notwithstanding the scarcity of pickers, and most of the yards will have been cleaned up by tomorrow night. E. C. Kirkpatrick and R. E Williams have a larger acreage and will not finish before some time next week. Considerable dissatisfaction has been caused in some yards by the weight-system of picking, and a majority of the growers have either raised the price per 100 pounds or re turned to the method of picking by the box. Weather conditions have never been better for a successful harvest and it is believed that no hops will be lost. The yield is much greater than that of last year, and' the hops are of choice quality. Well-informed growers are now of the opinion that the crop of Polk county will exceed 20,000 bales. Roads Pool Interests.
