It lieing understood tlfat they : will take shell reasonable steps to prevent owr-production as may lie necessary, ami that they will not pick . any mouldy or diseased ; hops, but j? only those that are well matured ami free from vermin damage. If the growers will take steps to prevent . ati over supply of hois we will permit them to fix a minimum price, ami If a suffici ent number of them accept this pro position we will put up a bond guar anteeing remunerative ; prives, our commission to 1k determiiifd ' later.

' .v';.iy-j The following "letter from MrT Ot tenheimer representing Lllienthal Bros., of New York, liearinz date-of July JMh.. was also read by Mr. Jones: "Referrlhg to my letter of I June IWth and supplmental thereto, I destro to say that in case the offer made therein accepted by growers repres enting 1t ist cent of the acreage de-t yoted to hois In California. Oregon and Washington and tho selling there of left to us, : our guarantee of J5 cents ier pound to the grower would lie coveYed by a liond to that effect. and the money advanced for harvest ing would also, lie . considered an a further security for. the guarantee." W. II. Egan, of Brooks said the ac ceptance of the proposition, under tho present conditions would lie prefl table to" the growers. The yield ; for HsJO had been estimated at' IbUjjfJO bales and from " a js-rsonal Inspection of many yards be was convinced that the; estimate was none too large. This means an r ovenroduction for if no. more were barvesttnl this year than last year, when 80,0(J(J bales were eur-j ed, there would lie a; plentiful supply to meet all demands.' By a mathemat ical calculation, Mr. Egan, demonstra ted that the grower would realize Miore from UlieiitliarBros'. proosition Uian by regularly contracting their hops at 1(1 cents or even less. , ' Riley Cooier, of Independence, sahl many "Polk county growers . bad; al ready reduced their acreage 'Si ", ler cent and he thought It would lie" un fair to ask such to further red nee their acreage.

In realizing ir cents from tiieir ItOps from any buyer.-- Mr. f3ooper further feaid that the hop crop in the locality of Indciendetice would lie short, probably- not over of ' a- crop. ' The Speaker was disposed to discourage the growers Jn.the acceptance of, tlie jerms of the pending proposition, lie. aid theoreticilly tlie proposed plan . was all right but practically it "was a ques tionable mode of procedure. He con cluded by saying that if growers would only produce a first class bop, there would lie no need of. any dealer guaranteeing a price for the crop. ; Francis Feller, of. Buttevllle, said that - from his observations he . had concluded, there would not Iw. over an average crop. With a continuation of present warm weather there was dan ger that the hop vluces may lie dam aged and the eorp reduced In that way He contended that It was yet a little early to make any predictions relative to the4 probable yield, and thought final action on the proposition should tie ; deferred until later fn the season, and that the matter lie .submitted, to the growers fqlr; Jihcir -: tcliljerate consideration. 1 Some of the "-growers In their re marks, evidence? more or less an moHlty towards! iMr. 'iOttenheimer, IJllenthar local agent, which natur ally crigeudered some.
