Salem—Standing between two arils, a record-breaking Drouth in the Wil­ lamette Valley and an unpreeenented scourge of the red spider, the hop crop of the State of Oregon has suffered immensely the past week or ten days, and the yield, conservatively estimated from the standpoint of both the “ bulls and bears,’ ’ will fall approximately 5000 bales below that of last year. The yield of last year was about 84,000 bales, and the latest estimate for this season ranges between 82,000 and 100,- 000 bales. • The market has taken on a consider­ able stimulus as a result of the effects of the weather and increased ravages of the vermin within the past week, in consequence of which the growers begun to assume a decidedly optimistic atti­ Name....................................................

Much complaint was received from the brewers on account of the laxity or apparent indifference on the part of the growers last season in respect to the harvesting of their crops, as a result of which the Oregon crop, which ordi­ narily brings the top price in both the Eastern and the English markets, suf­ fered a severe slump in the quotations, and a serious setback in demand.

B. Miller, Am erican consul at Belfast, Ireland, in a recent letter to C. C. Chapman, manager o f the promotion bureau o f the commercial club, and he follow s this with the advice that pears as well as apples be exhibited at the forth ­ com ing Portland Apple show. Mr. M iller presents such sound argu­ ments for this action and points out so plainly the benefits that are likely to result front it that the com m ercial club w ill earnesly consider the proposition with the view o f having both fruits ex ­ hibited. “ I was form erly a fruitgrow er in the Rogue R iver v alley ,” w rites Mr, Miller, “ and am now planting quite a large orchurd near Sheridan, Or., and am therefore immensely interested in this movement. “ Two values are to be derived by placing pears on a parity with apples in your show— one is the inspiration fo r the grow ing o f larger and better fru it and the other is the advertising it w ill give the pear-grow ing industry. I am convinced that the Oregon pear has as great a future as the Oregon apple. It requires great attention to encourage and cultivate it. It also needs labor and attention to encourge the, production.” FIRST W HEAT SALE MADE. Average o f 81 Cents Paid fo r 10 ,000 Bushels at Pendleton.
