The hop prospect at Sumner grows
more and more discouraging az the har-
vest approaches. Many yards that we're
promising in the spring will not producs
500 pounds TO the acre, and scores Of
farmers have abandoned thsir fields in
despair. A dearth of money for spraying
material and labor, the gloomy prospect
for living price. and the diminished yisld
account for this. The dry weather 10
seriously affecting the growth, and on
the uplsnds the fields are taking On q
yellowish appearance. The lice have
complete possession of the majority Of
yards, and are sucking the entire life out
Of the vine, rendering it utterly worthless
for future years. The acreage next year
will consequently not be more than half
that of this-even this 10 large estimate.
Gloomy, indeed, 10 the outlook around
Puyallup. From the last issue Of the
Citizen the following excerpts are taken ::
"a number of yards, belonging to grow.
ers who have earned q reputation for
producing fine samples and whose crops
have been contracted by leading hop
dealing houses, are at this writing be-
yond all hope of making crop. In this
manner a number Of dealers will share in
the general misfortune. Many Of
the yards that have been carefully tended
are now swsrming with lice and the com.
plete ruin Of such crops 10 foregone con-
conclusion. While q few--very
few-yards are comparatively free from
lice and perhaps dozen almost COM
pletely free, it is safe to say that the con-
ditions are such that crops of good hops
will be very exceptional on Puget Sound
and in Oregon. The lice attack has
never been 30 severe and uncomfortable.
and the few growers who have kept
their yards clean have done so only by
the outlay Of great expense and constant
washing"

The Hop Growers association met at
the city ball on Saturday last, good at
tendance being noted.
A. B. Ross, of the committee on hop
jubilee, reported that an agreement had
been reached with the committee on
county fair, whereby the jubilee was to
become part Of the county fair. An
understanding was reached on all points,
sxcspting the admission of white hop
pickers, unless Is cents admission were
charged.
1t was decided that the association fav-
ored no discrimination between white
and Indian hop pickers in this matter of
admission. The association feels that
the Indian jubilee is distinctive feature
Of the Hop Growers association, for the
purpose Of holding growers together in
Ill matters appertaining to the hop in
dustry, and further to encourage Indians
and white pickers from distance to visit
Yakima county each year and any
waiver Of this prerogative on the part of
the association would create disappoint-
ment among the pickers and less num-
hers of them would report for duty in
coming or succeeding seasons.
Mr.. H. B. Scuddsr reported having re-
csived letter from certain Idaho Indians
TO the effect that If employment were
guaranteed after their arrival at Yakima
great number of them would come here
and participate in the jubilee. These
Indians belong to the Nez Perce reserva-
ton, and will have considerable money
to expend in the sports of the jubilee.
The association decided to encourage
than to come, and that employment
would be guaranteed. A. s. White said
he would employ 30 pickers from their
tribe.
The association then adjourned to meet
on Saturday, August "a, at the city hall.

Prof. j. M. Richardson, the new prin-
cipal, has been superintendent of the
city schools in the city Of Ortonville,
MINI. He has been conductor this sum-
ner Of the Minnesota state summer
school at Browns valley, Traverse
county. He comes recommended as an
educator Of high standing in Minnesota,
having q wide experience and rare ability.
Also - a citizen he is public spirited and
understandable In oil movements which
work for the best interests OF the COM
munity. Mrs. Richardson is also an es-
Unable and able lady, and an active
worker in church and literary circles.
She 10 Q musician (instrumental) and
will probably take charge of that depart
mept in the Academy. She will superin-
tend the boarding and culinary depart
ments, the work Of which will be done
under her direction by young lady stud
ents who desire in this way to assist
themselyes in the pursuit Of intellectual
sttsinments.
With an exceptionally strong faculty,
the promise Of . good attendance of
pupils, and the prospect of a substantial
reduction OF the indebtedness of the in
stitution in the near future, consider
able increase in library and apparatus,
the permanence and steady growth Of the
academy is insured; and the citizens of
this valley are TO be congratulated on
having in their midst aud at their COM
mand an institution Of learning of such
high grade and character. The Ahtanum
academy has come to stay. If the people
Of this region appreciate their opportun-
ity and rally to its support, there is no
reason why it should not become a
school that shall rank second to none in
the state. >

three weeks will demonstrate this to m.ny
hop men who have Rugged the delusion
that the lice were not numerous enough
in their yards to do any damage. A
visit the first Of the week to the Patterson
yard at Olequa, where the choicest hops
in the state are produced every year, con.
WINGED this paper that the spraying dope
In this vicinity is not thorough enough.
The seventy-two acre yard Of Mr.. Pstter-
son has been sprayed nine times, and the
three-roller sprayers will be kept at work
constantly until picking time. There are
no reports Of an encouraging nature con-
corning the outlook for prices this fall.

Reports from Oregon last week were 70
the effect that lice were most abundant
the vines being covered with them in
many localities-but that they had not
yet reached the bur. People familiar
with the habits Of the omnipresept louise
know that he always reaches the bur,
sooner or later, unless he is cooked by
sunshine or killed by spraying. Oregon
growers do not spray, comparatively
speaking; and unless that state should
soon enjoy fair degree Of sunshine, the
hop crop there will be . crop in name only.
That would materially affect the Pacific
states output, and might alter prices
considerably.

1t was reported early this week that
certain buyers had promised growers that
their houses would soon make offerings
of l211ac on five year contracts; but the
statement could not be verified. How.
ever, it is known that one dealer has
made several offers Of l0c on three and
FIVE year agreements. These proffers
have been refused; but It now transpires
that this buyer is endeavoring to secure
l2c offer from his house for the same
lengths Of time-with what success il
not yet known.
G. f. Fearl, the Seattle hop buyer, 10
in the city, and to q HERALD reporter
who quizzed him as to prospects he said !;
eastern dealers find business with brew
ers almost impossible. Brokers in Wash
ington have been offering '95 contracts a.
low ss cents for some weeks past, and
while the dealers admit this to be cheap
too cheap-the invariabls reply is that
they will have plenty of time to get in
after they see a chance to get out. It 10
not question of buying, but of selling.
1t is hardly possible to accurately fore
cast the crop in western Washington. A
full crop would be shout go, 900 bales.
Last year we had $1,000 bales. No one
is expecting as much for this season. The
harvest is not likely to go below &c, 900
bales with the average quality far superior
to last seasons"
A hop exchange thus comments upon
Yakima's outlook: "Lice are more prev
slent in Yakima, il reports are true, than
ever before, and II weather conditions
this season are the same as they were
last (when many of the Yakima hops
were ruined by lice) the present short
crop will dwindle down to insignifi-
cance." Really, this is damning with
little less than even faint praise. 1t is
q straight out damnation--and 1t is abb
solutely untrue. All that Yakima needs
for goodly crop is the money with
which to pick it. Lice we have had, in
a few yards; but they long since
turned up their toes on account of the
siccative aggressiveness Of the invincible
Yakima sunshine. Lice cannot exist
long in Yakima. Any grower or buyer
knows that--and reports to the contrary
are malicious or purely ignorant, one or
the other.
Yakima.growers concede that q picking
OF more than 800 bales in their district
is not probable, says the Puysllup Citizen.
That paper has probably heard from some
very conservative grower in Yakima who
has put our yield at 5000 bales. The
S00-bale estimate is, without doubt, Q
typographical error-but it does harm in
the general reports, nevertheless.
1t is conceded by Puysllup papers that
"the bulk of the hops in the northwest
will be raised in Yakima county this
year"

New York Journal: New crop seed
lings were offered at lOc delivered here,
and old hops as low a. any that have
been touched previously during the
month. The low prices fail to stimulate
business, however, since dealers are eau
tious and export interest SO slight that It
really has no influence. Crop accounts
are somewhat variable, as usual, but the
indications are that both America and
Europe will have Q sufficient supply.
Contracts for new crop are still moderate
and much below the average.

good many plantations from threatening

the rains have not been abundant enough
to call forth remarkable improvement
In the hop plantations. Since few Asys
o rather scorching heat Is prevailiEs fore
ing hops to maturity. Just In the pres.
ent state Of things soaking rains would
prove very beneficial and il they enter In
time they will no doubt do much good 70
the hops on the fields. Otherwise II the
present heat should continue without in
terruption by rain, the effects on the hon
plant must be detrimental. The best
districts in Germany ara spals, the lower
part Of the Hallsrtan and ,Wurtsmburg |;
oil others are in Q more or less critical
state. Altogether present prospects in
Germany point to yield OF about three
fifths of last year. For Austria prospects
have turned worse and Bohemia will car
tsinly not reach moro than one.hal. al
last years crop. Rain Is urgently needed
everywhere. In Belgium the hop PLAN
tations are in vary good condition aud
