Senn,nr Lesh In seattle.

Post Inteiligencer: State Senator d. L.
Lesh, of the Yakima and Kittitas dis
trict, who is manager of the famous
Mckee farm On which l3) acres are
planted in hops, says the hop crop in the
Yakima valley promises better than last
year, but growers are discouraged at the
prospective low prices. lie said:
"They will find difficulty in raising
money with which to pick and bale. 1t
will require about $4,000 to do this
work-a very large sum to raise at this
time, when prices rule so low.
1.-The hop louise has appeared in some
yards, but recent hot weather de-
grees in the shade some days-has
checked their multiplication to a great
extent. Less vines have been trained to
the poles, thus reducing the amount OF
foliage and letting in the sun.
''Fruit growers in the Yakima valley
are doing we'll this year. The shortage
in the fruit crop at the east has opened
up brisk market. Peaches, apples,
spricots and plums are being sent with
profit to Helena, Minneapolis, st, Paul,
Chicago, New York, Boston and Phila.
delphia. The prune crop promises well
and there is prospect OF a good demand
for the green fruit at the east. Indeed, il
is expected that the entire crop will be
thus taken. This means much to those
fortunate enough to have large orchards
in bearing. Among such men are: p.
]. Flint, so acres; G. p. Wilcox, 40
acres; Fred Thompson. 80 acres. This
year Washington growers are able to
find market beside those of California,
though the latter still have the advan-
tage of cheaper transportation"
Mr.. Lesh was in Seattle to meet an
aunt, Mrs. Irene Haines, of Oklahoma,
who is visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Reed.

Local Hop Notes.

The Yakima Hop Growers association
met at the city hail, Saturday, August 10.
The attendance was the largest of the
season, over 80 growers being present.
The question of price to be paid for hop
picking was discussed at length. Owing
to the uncertainty OF the price of hops 70
cents per box was agreed upon but with
the understanding that il the price ad-
vsnced corresponding increase would be
paid to the pickers-but at the present
time the outlook for advance in prices
seems doubtful. There is no doubt that
many hundreds Of pickers will come from
Sound points willingly at 75 cents per
box. Inquiries coming in to the secre-
tary confirm this belief. The Northern
Pacific railroad agrees to make the same
rate as last season. i. e., $3.50. per capita
in lots of 80 people or more, but the asso-
citation is making strong effort to re-
duce the rate to S. for round trip.
A Communication was read from Bal
four, Guthrie & Co., quoting hop cloth,
44-inch, "A ounces, at 4 = cents per yard
at Seattle; freight about l cent per
pound.

The association adjourned to meet Sat-
urday, August II, at the city hall.
II. E. MCGOWAN, of Puyallup, one OF
the leading hop manipulators of Wash
ington, offers prizes of $40 and s. res
pectfully, for the best two samples of
Washington hops that may be sent to
him. Entries will be accepted until Oc-
tober 1. Expert judges will pass upon
the merits of the samples. Mr.. Nc
Gowan's object is to determine which
side of the mountains will succeed IN
raising the best hops. Samples should
be carefully marked with growers names,
and post office address and the amount
of their crop.
Puyallup Citizen: Generally speaking
hops look bad and there Is no reason to
make better estimates than have been
made earlier in the season. Never, how
ever, have the lice been SO little under
control. There will not be many hops
picked and choice samples will be very
exceptional.
A. d. Eglin, of Tampieo, began pick
ing his early hops yesterday. He took a
crew of white pickers with him from this
city.
If it may be taken as criterion, the
news made public by d. W. Simmons
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-08-15

this week indicates that there is to be
break soon in the quiet market. That
gentleman represents several American
houses, and he is now prepared to adj
vance ) cents on hops on consignment,
to the extent Of 500 bales. While some
Yakima growers object to the consign-
ment feature, there are others who may
not. In any event, this proposal of
money advancement for picking is the
first little rift within the lutte. It will
probably widen-and then look out for
the melody of the iingling guiness.
