The cultivation of hops in thin district linn Iwcn proffecuted for many yearn, but of lute not ro the extent of former ycarr. The production of hopn up to In tho '! wkh a lucrative bumueia-. JQ khi jri-et realized and tho tremendous yie d to be obtained from the rich bottom hindu of the Willamette Kiver allured many farmers to try their luck In the hop htiHirieMH. Not only here, but all over the world, txiople became infatuated with the idea of immediate richca from hop culture. Tho outcome wa not far 1 1 Keek. The market was glutted, price dwindled and ruin followed. Trm buy em had full HwinK in namini; prices, with tho fact In-fore them that the grown' wero completely at their mercy, aud, ng ia coiiimou in Mich canes, tho flexibility of their ronaciencea admitted of colowal thrift. During thin ordeal tho atrial! and inexperienced growera were well wefded out, many HAlified and well whipped fell badly behind, whils olliera failed entirely. Under these conditions many tlnn gardens were plowed up and appropriubxl to other uae, thcB reduc iiiK' the output about one half iu this district. HtatinticB reveal the fact that that the game condition exists in the whole Northwest. Under thin State of affairs, and tha short crop of 1900, tho production of hops was under the consumptive di mand, resulting in stiff prices and a buoyancy in the spirits of growers that hud not lx;en felt for a lon time. Last year's work, in ninet cases, placed the producers who had managed to keep tbtrir hcada alxive water well on their feet. Hop raising as a business ia in a bi ttet condition now than it has ever been, in that those who have been able to weather tho storm have the control of their holding uell in hand, and the buyer have narrowed down to men who have ilejohits upon which they can draw at night for any amount needed for purchases. In this connection we cannot forego to motion ti. at the new cor.diiions in the h'p huxincva ban eliuiina'.ed, to a great ex lent ,the voret curse know n to the jif. Iu fi'rence is had to tho hot of "Hii'nb'" coiitra,-t r, w bo made it their buajnetix to tMke every poniiblc advan tut;" 'f the unwary prowi-r.

Of course, tiiis would brim: mi a controversy, the end of which would h a eon. promise wiie'e- in 1 1 io grower would get mitch the r ,.-$.' of ti e bargain. Ho was-. coinrkdk&'i to accept whatever tho offer might lie; otherwise his hops would be on ids handdiiHa condemned lot and be neg lected by buyers. The present outlook for a full crop in this district is very encouraging, And with the prospects for a fair price the growers are in fine spirit, fhey are putting iu their hem licks, and since scientific methods have Uvn discovered whereby hup lice and their destructive work can he safely provided against, the country is ns-miivd an iuiinem e amount of money for the channeis of trade this fall. T!o Imp indmtry sends more money into cirei.lut i n than a iy other industry in propor'ion to the vohinie of liMsim-s'. U.ist year there was o! I fioin the hop rieles hereabouts an acgre g.ito of $lf.tKiO. Oi thia amount the h'ind.-1'ino sum oi fi."00 was distributed i'r labor .in 1 supebes. When it is re niembered that iu harvettiuj;, curing and preparing the crops for market, there are employed fcix to seven hun dred teople f r about eighteen days, it is conceivable that so much money is needed for this purpose. A luriro pro portion of this money is paid to people who depend upon their labor tor the necessities of life. Those people look forward to hop picking with a greater degree of delight and expectancy than to any other event in their routinoof toil. This opportunity affords them means to liave comforts iii their living which they would be strangers to without. In the mean time, many people, who are well-to-do, go to tlie hop field at harvest time more for an outing on the camp ground than for the money they can make while there, the object being a rollicking good time. All conventionalities are cast aside. When picking hops, the multitude forms u' common family. They mingle and intermingle in an in formal way, until within a short time all feel to be at home and on a basis of equality. Hut unlucky are they who by mischance become tile butt of a joke, for. without doubt, the batteries of ridi cule are better concentrated, more effec tive and worse to be dreaded in n hop camp than anywhere else on earth.
