A number of hop growers In Lane County are plowing up their hop fields prepara-1 tory to using the ground for aomo other crop, according to a welKknown hop grower and buyer of this city, Frnnk Hoyer. He cites the examples of one man who has plowed up twen ty acres of bis yard near Springfield, and two others who have plowed up ton and fourteen acres respectively. The gradual decline of the bop business is the reason. Except for n brief period last fall, when .the price went as high as 35 cents per pound, the price or hops has been much low. er than for several years, It Is said, and some growcra claim to have lost money. Greater cost of growing hops Is said to be the causo. POTATO GRADES ARE ASKED FOR OREGON SALEM, March 4.

It Is the first anniversary of the en franco of the United States into the war against the kaiser, he has pointed out, and added that the amount. terms and conditions of the loan have have not been decided because theso tlirco features are dependent upon further legislation. In making the announcement Secretary McAdoo said: "I expect to ask the congress at an eurly date to grant the necessary ad ditional authority. "Of course, the opening dsy of the campaign Is somewhat dependent upon the new legislation, but It Is hoped and believed that the matter can be considered and determined in ample time to begin the campaign on the date suggested. "April Ctb will forever.be a conse crated date in American history, and it feeras peculiarly appropriate that the opening of the second year of our participation In this war for the hon. or and rights of America and the free dom of the world should be celebrated with a nation-wide drive for another Liberty Loan.'"

There was no question of tbe plain talk, as the spesker proceeded with his re marks, but If Sorgeant Wells Is not an orator our late Mr. Webster was cer tainly mixed In his dates. Tbe human character Is moulded by the conditions- to which It is sub jected.
