A Better Outlook for Hops.

Puyallup. June 15.-Special.-There seems
to be a turn for the better in regard to
hops. In one district in oregon there have
been contracted about 5000 bales many OF
them AT cents. One three years contract
is at cents this year. 10 cents next year
and u cents the third year, being practic-
ally 10 cents.
In Washington Mr. Monahan. of McMil-
Ian, has contracted ten tons to DR.. Ram
sey. of Seattle, at 10 cents
NJ. j. Meeker in a ride TO Orting noted
quite a change. Thirty or forty acres Of
hops had been plowed up and as many
more remained uncultivated. All along
the road were seen patches of peas IN
blossom, which were significant of tat
pork. Mr.. Meeker remarked that IL was
quite novel to see an attempt made to
raise anything else aside from hops. Quite
an acreage of hops will remain unculu-
tiYated.
