Hop Culture.
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. A favorite
nn'tbod w it I; tin-in w-.s t- contract to
pav n mil marki-t price (or hops to bj
d-ilvri-d w !.( !'( tirct, and at the tiro?
of delivery con.'.eiiiu a K''K'd portion of
the bit w itheut caue. 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.
