The Grape Crop-Busy Hop. Pick.
ers-A Severe Accident.

Editor Morning Call: The hot wind that
surprised US last Monday gave us a taste
of the weather our friends living in less
favored localities have to endure for weeks
during the summer months. The cool,
foggy mornings we have since had have
been an agreeable change.
The recent spell of hot weather has, I'M
fortunately, injured the grapes in the north
ern part of the county more than was
thought at the time. Yet, notwithstanding
the damage done, the yield will be a good
one. The grape crop was never known to
be failure in Sonoma County.
The hop-piekers are all working hard,
and making money, they say. Children are
earning from 90 cents to 81 per day, but the
adult workers are not satisfied if they do
not average about 50. Many are able to
pick 200 pounds of hops every day and not
complain of fatigue.
