The report has reached Hermis
ton that Mrs. A. W. Christopherson,
president of district No. 6, has been

dent. Mrs. Catherine Belcher of

HERMISTON NOP
HARVEST WILL
START SEPTEMBER 8
NEW LOCKRIDGE HOP KILN WILL
HANDLE CROP.
New Yards in Columbia and Stan
field District This Year; Produc
tion Expected to be Average.
The Hermiston hop crop will
soon be rolling into the new kiln
recently completed at the O. T.
Lockridge hop yard southeast of
town.
Mr. Lockridge expects to
arvest his crop starting Septem
ber 8. and will employ 75 pickers
ind balers.
Mr. Lockridge anticipates that his
crop will double that of last year
with a ton and a quarter production
per acre average on the eight
acres. The 1933 crop of baby hops
averaged four tons for the entire
season and this Is the second year
of production for the yard.
The new kiln will be used to dry
and bale hops harvested on the new
yards at the Bill Whitsett place in
Columbia district and the Paul Mil-
ler place near Stanfield. The pro
duction on these new yards is esti
mated for both at 12 to 14 tons. It
takes 16 or 18 hours to dry 1400
pounds of hops Mr. Lockridge says,
i nd esch crop will be dried and
baled separately. Mr. Lockridge
shipped his hops into Washington
to be dried and baled last year.
Hop growing on the Hermiston
and Stanfield projects is a compara
tively new industry but was con
sidered to be successful enough to
warrant additional investment for
another year. It is predicted that
hop growing will be one of the ma
jor Industries on the project in the
future. ‘

RESULTS OF RABBIT POISONING
CAMPAIGN NOW BEING SEEN
The rabbit poisoning campaign
being staged in the west snd of
Umatilla county in the Stanfield,
Hermiston, Columbia and Butter
creek districts will close soon. The
Umatilla county court allowed 850
to finance the campaign which has
been used to distribute bait in these
districts. Poison was distributed in
sections of the Westland district
today (Thursday) which is expected
to close the campaign for this sea-
son.
A total of 120 ounces of poison
has been used In 2400 pounds of
chopped green alfalfa as bait, and
farmers have expressed themselves
as being well pleased with the re-
suits, W. A. Sawyer, assistant coun
ty agent said today.
Soon after poison bait had been
placed In the Stage Gulch district
F. 8. Green reported that a new
seeding of rye grass and sweet clover
on his farm had shown a noticeable
growth within a few days, when
hitherto it had appeared to remain
at a standstill. The slow growth was
then said to be due to destruction
being done by rabbits.
