JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Hop Picking in Hop picking began Monday in all of the hop fields of Josephine, county and nearly 1(XX) pickers are at work this week. Tho crop will be larger and the quality of hops above tho averago. The hop business is getting to be ail industry of considerable pro portions iu this county, and consider ing its size, ns great a quuntitiy of hops are produced iu Josephine as in any other couuuty iu tho slnto. The climatic, and -general conditions required for the production of hops are perhaps more favorable here thau in any other section of the stato. in theWillametto Volley September ruins usually interfere with religious regularity each season, and oftimcs do much damage and reduce the quality of the hops, hi Josephino county, mius very seldom interfere, and the season for picking is nearly always dry. The Josephine county yards are situated iu Williams valley, along Williams creek, and along the Rogue and Applegute rivers. Iu the matter of pretty camping places for tho I pickers, it is doubtful if more beauti ful spots iu this regard can be found anywhere. Cool shades, cold water and shady nooks make picking hops in Josephino county both pleasant and profitable. Here, as elsewhere, scores of entire families hie for the fields earli season, women uud chil dren all uuitiiiK in tho work, aud a number of sueh families mako from fSO to I."iO iu a siiiKlo senson. Tho price paid for liickinit this sea son is tho Hiuuu hero us in tho Wilhuu- etto Valley. Somo of thn yards nre ItayiiiK 40 uud some 50 cents per box. Tho smaller yards find it necessary to my AO cents iu order to Ret u bu (11- cieut numlier of pickers. Thu big yards arc always more attractive from thu fact that they offer social advan tages not to 1m found at thu smaller yards. The vtord"social" is used here from a hop picking sensu altogether, mid only those who havo been hop iicking can appreciate the social con- ilitinus that surround the big yard or cluster of yards where three or four hundred icoplo am tumiicd together. There is never a lack of entertainment. Musicians, especially fiddlers" are always on hand, and the hop yard is a feature that has duo attention every night of the season. The Imp yard dance, be it known, be longs toa distinct class of its own. There Is no other dance like it. There is juNt as much difference between a hop yard dun and any other kind as there is between an aristocratic dress ball and a back woods "shin dig." It must not bo inferred from this that the hup rani dance is a bad atr.iir at nil, because it is not. A hop yard dance is a hup with plenty of "hop" iu it. About tlA.tKK) will be juid pickers by Josephine county hop growers this season. A number of growers have contracted a good jmrtion of this crop at from 10 to i:i cents. This was done hst winter before the price Ih lmii to make an upward cliinh. It seems evident at this time that the price fur this year w ill be W or 'i't cents. From this it would seem tlmt the growers who have contracted for 10 or IU cents are unfortunate ; however they am not ns bad off as they may seem and noun of them regret their step in the least. The price of hoj, like the price of wheat, apples or prunes, is something that can only bo guessed, at, nod while it may be 20 cents today, it may be only half that a week from now. The following is the lint of Jow. phiiin county growers together with tho unrulier of acres they have iu : Wm. Korj nson, 2) acres. J. W. York, 01 m-rca. IS. V. Ihildw in, I j acres. Mrs. lieymer, S acres. L. S. Lincoln, 12 acres. J. Christie, l.'i acres. K. C. Ik-AriMiuid, 2.1 acres. Kaiizau estate, 30 111 res. John lianzau, 40 arci a. If. L. Kohinaou, 2.1 acres. Iaac Kin ley, 14 acres. II. H. Miller. 2.1 acres. W. T. 8. I'atton, 10 acres. As can be seen by adding the above figures, Josephine county had 210 acre in hops. A before mentioned, the hoj of this acaion will be large. The hoi are plump and fall, are free from lice or blight of any kind. TEA IN HOLT11LKN OREGON. The tea plants which the Southern cVMr. aA rM,V H'- OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER n, 1902. Josephine County. Pacific distributed in Rogue river valley apjiear to be hale and hearty. Tho latest information from there is that they are growing, but there is no record of more than a hatful harvest of the leaves, so that the iufaut industry is still iu its swad dling clothes. Oregon is believed to be well adapted climatically to the culture of tea. The only handicap to the in dustry is the high price of labor iu Oregon as compared with that iu Oriental countries and in the, southern states, where colored children work the fields at low cost. Climatic conditions iu Japan, in wnich the tea plant thrives, are very much like those of Oregon. Allan Camerou, agent at Hong Kong for tho Portlaud & Asiatic Steamship Com pany, wrote several mouths ago that he thought the project for Southern Oregon a good one. The tea plant is not affected adversly by tho rigors of Oregou climate. On tho campus of State Agricultural College at Corval- lis is a plant which has thrived iu its prcseut environment for 10 years. Valley Record.
