there will be little

material growth to the hops Unit are
already set on.
The present hop season has been
most discouraging, considering that It
opened with such bright prospects.

There was more moisture In the
ground this spring than usual .nd ,
rains held on later than usual, for
ninety days there has not been a ram
of any coiiHeiiuence and there Is no
moisture In the ground.
Ijist year's Unlit crop was due
chiefly to missing hills but this sea
son all bills came on and wllh plenty:
of moisture there would have been an j
unprecedented crop.
However, with a short, yield and a
good product at high prices there will
be no cause for complulnt. Indica
tions point to a more than average
quality.
