HOP INDUSTRY
ADVANCES ON
IRRIGATION PROJECT
SURPLUS
HOLDS
MARKET
AT
LOW LEVEL.
Two New Yards Planted This Spring ;
Second and Third Year Yields
Expected to be Large.
Hop acreage on the Hermiston and
nearby projects has increased this
year and all hop yards show indica­
tions of a fine yield. The market
has looked uncertain since there was
a 13000 bale surplus in the three
northwestern states during Janu­
ary and February of this year. Ore­
gon alone produces 96,000 bales
yearly, nearly half of the total of the
200,000 bale yield in Oregon. Wash­
ington and Idaho.
O. T. Lockridge, one of the orig­
inal hop growers here whose yard is
giving its third year yield, secured
an average production of a ton per
acre from his 8 *2 -acre yard last
year. His hops have sold as tops both
years, and at 11c last year.
Mr. Lockridge will start top train­
ing along the trellis this week. He
and his nephew Kenneth Athey have
done practically all of their own
work this year, which, Mr. Lock­
ridge believes, will keep the cost of
production at a lower level than it
was last year, estimated to have
been 6 3-4 per pound to put the hops
in bales based upon the actual labor
done in the field.
Mr. Lockridge has accepted the
drying contract for other growers
on the project for the season, since
his large kiln, completed more than
a year ago, is adequate to take care
of all the hops produced on the 4812
acres planted to hops in this dist­
rict.
The L. W. Dickson 10-acre yard
on the old Briggs place in Columbia
district planted to slip roots secured
from Mr. Lockridge this year, shows
signs of a remarkable growth and
production of fine baby hops. Mr.
Dickson is using poles for the first
year.
Another first year yard is the 8-
acres put In by Ted Nedeau, Just
north of the Geo. Strohm place. Mr.
Nedeau secured crown roots from
growers in Yakima valley.
Other second year hop yards which
have good stands this year are
those put in by Paul Miller near
Stanfield. J. A. Scott south of town
and W. O. Whitsett in Columbia dist­
rict. Miller has a good stand this
year after filling in with 7000 slip
roots secured from Lockridge. He
has finished training and will soon
he ready to top train on the trellis.
Scott’s stand last year was very
poor but by filling in with 1600 slip
roots this spring his stand is nearly
100 per cent and shows prospects of
a fine crop. He has also completetd
training.
W. O. Whitsett trellised his 8-acre
yard this year and is now training.
He had a good stand last year but
has been unable to move his crop
since the hop market remained at
such a low level during the year.
The first venture in hop growing
ever attempted on this project was
made three years ago by Mr. Lock­
ridge and the soil and climatic con­
ditions have proved to be adaptable
In the fall of the year large crews
are hired to harvest the crop.

COLUMBIA PARK BOARD URGES
CARE OF GROUNDS.
It has come to the attention of
the Columbia Park board that some
picnickers are rather thoughtless
when leaving the park, and fail to
carry their garbage and trash with
them. Complaint has also been made
that tables have been taken down.
Perhaps everyone does not know
that this park has no paid caretak­
er, and depends almost wholly upon
donation work by interested people.
Therefore it is very essential that
all users do their part in keeping it
in shape. People In charge of a pic­
nic should be responsible for the
grounds. Let us have your coopera­
tion, please.

STANFIELD, Ore., June 12 (Spe­
cial)—Lieutenant J. D. Killgreen is
now in charge of operations for
construction of a government CCC
camp on the school grounds adjacent
to the school building south of Stan­
field. Lieutenant Killgreen and
twelve CCC boys arrived here Satur­
day morning and have been clearing
and levelling land for the erectio.1
of mess hall, office building and
sleeping quarters.
Temporary electrical service Unes
have been run to the grounds by the
Hermiston Light & Power Company
of Hermiston which serves this ter­
ritory and wiring is being directed
by Harry McMillan, also of Her­
miston. Telephone service connec­

rehabilitation and canal work on the
Stanfield project, it is believed this
is the purpose of stationing these
boys at Stanfield, although no offi-
cial report has been released.
