"Picking ia well under way In all of

This year the crop

" I t ia now evident that the crop is

Tbie ie

“ The Oregon bop growers w ill find
tliat their hops w ill be in greet de

Grower« are trying to pick
hops ahead of the mold there, but

“ I t ia plain to a greet many dealers

This ia a
marked de reese from that of last year,
when tlie Empire state
