Rains of course would help some but would not in my opinion, bring the total output up to what it wn last year. II. D. Cooper Theie will be two-thirdsto tbiee-fourtbs of a crop, the vines are not arming out. Hops plarted last year won't yield mucb. It is too early to speak as to quality. J. G. Groves The prospect is looking somewhat serious. Vines are growing slender where thev should be coarse. Arms and later als will both be short without rain soon. jNew yards are actually dry- ing up rather than growing. Tbe best prospects I know of are across the river from Indenendence. A -good rain rould of course work wonders, for hops 'respond yery readily to moisture. As I wrote to H. J. Ottenheimer, we who have estimated at 100,000 bales for the state will have to lower our esti mate. Cultivation and breaking clods should be kept up and if rain comes even in two weeks, the effect will be surprising. M. W. Krebs, of Krebs Bros. -Our yard In Marion county will yield about the same as last year. The talk about 110,000 bales for the state is all bosh. The increase in acreage will just about bring the output up to what it was last year. A good soaking rain would cause the vines to arm and increase the crop of the state some . 10.COO ' bales. W. W. Percival In many yards vines have run up to the strings without putting out arms. The increase in acreage will about brine the output up to the crop . of last year. The grain crop is shorter than the hops. ,Grain is shorter than I've ever seen it at this season of the year. J. R. Cooper The new crop will make up tor the general shortage. ucro wm do a yield of about 85,000 bales this year. We would have hops whether it rains or not but rain of course would help. u. v. Kider Its been a lone- time since the crop looked so poor. Oregon will have little more than half a crop. It will not be a two thirds crop.
