nounced this section the best hop country
he knew Of. He said that the orchards
on the west Of the Cascades were full Of
vermin that threatened the hops andthat

were conducive TO lice, but here, with the
dry atmosphere, the frequent breezes,
and the contour Of the country, which
does not prevent draft through the hop
vines, the danger 70 Of . minimum,
and, in his opinion, the Yakima bines
would never betroubled with lice. While
here he made thorough examination Of
various hop fields and could find no In

Yakima hops and they had not only
proved satisfactory to the consumer, but

Of any grown on the coast. He said
that with the exception Of the dust Of the
country roads Yakima suited him per
fectly and that the present wonderful
progress was bound 10 be but the COM

this as q marvelously productive and
thrifty country. When told that six years
ago barren sage brush plain marked the
spot where North Yakima now stands he
was filed with surprise and exclaimed,
