Vour hundred hop growers met nt

IlBtonlnB to Addresses and pnpfcrs on
tliu Inilustry which Is ono of tho Inm
ost In Oregon, affecting the farmers
of 13 counties, formed n county or
unnlrntlon nnd elected C. A. Mc
LnilRhlln chairman. Tho next meet
ing will lm held In Aurora, nnd
meetings nro Rlatod for nil the Im
portant hop cciitors.
President A. J. Hay of Portland
Mated nt tho outset that tlioy woro
as hn organisation not nlllod with
tho liquor dealers and were not out
to fight iiroliluitlon. but from an
economic Itnmlpolnt and sclf-proscr-vatlon
woro compelled to fight sub
mlltlni; (o n vote of tho people a pro
position to destroy any Industry nnd
tho business nnd employment of tho
people connected therowlth.
Xo Oilier Vm Tor Hop
In California the grape Industry
wad mora Important than tho hop In
dustry, nnd It wag argued that there
were more profitable! scs for grapes
than making wine. Hut there was
no olher uo for hops man making
beer. Out of a production In the
United Stated of Sf.O.cnO bales not
over ".OilO hales wero put to other
uses, and exports were only C0.000
bales.
Statistics for Oregon showed that
tho crop for 1013 was IfiS.OOO bales,
worth Jfi.000.0uD of which $3,000,
000 was distributed for labor to
about r.O.Onu pcoplo. Tho 25,000
acres planted to bops wero worth on
. an average $300 ,cr acre, or $",
r.00.000 and about as much more In
buildings and equipments. A $20,
000 crop cost $7000 for labor and
worked ten horses. Tho pruno crop
on 37,000 acres amounted to only
$1,000,000. whllo the total of all
fruit crops In Oregon was 1 10.000
acres, turning off $0,400.000. The
hop crop nlono Inst year was worth
$0,000,000.
Sire of Industry
Tho hop crop brings to Independ
ence for 24,000 bales marketed here
$900,000, of which $4SO,000 Is pale
out for labor. $210,000 of this In
about three weeks. Tralnloads of
poor pcoplo como from Portland to
work In tho picking season and earn
money enough to clothe and school
tho children through the winter.
"They would destroy all this Industry
by unfair means, and glvo tig noth
ing In return." said W. W. Perclval,
ono or tho speakers. He showed
that hop land was not fruit laud and
could not bo used for ordinary farm
crops.
County Commissioner Pctrlo said
tluf destruction of the hop Industry
would effect tho lumber Industry and
other Industries all over tho United
States, Ho cited tho largo nso of
cotton twine, burlap, and sulphur.
Tho rop growers had worked and
paved to got tholr yards and buildings
and equipment, and It was not fair
to sweep away by a popular vote tho
labor and accummulaUoua of years.
C.corgo Hall of Halston said Oregon
was a progrctwlvo state and could
nornfford to strlko a blow nt ono or
Its most Important Industries,
Prosperity nt IiMin
Hov. Dr. Dunamoro or the Flrei
Presbyterian church said ho consid
ered It a privilege and n duty to bo
present and sponk on this occasion.
A situation was beforo the people or
Oregon that meant moro lo thorn and
their prosperity than anything that
had over neon made, an Issue. Ho
