The HOP cRoP.
Paoific Coast Output This Year Esti-

Pacific Coast Output This Year Esti
mated About 100, 900 Bales.
Portland, Or. Sept. 4.--From dats
collected il is evident that the Oregon
hop crop will be less than 80. 00o bales
or one-half Of the 1895 crop, says th,
current number Of the Oregon Agricul
turist California and Washington
data are not definite. but the yield will
probably not exceed 40, 900 bales in the
former state, and 30, 600 in the latter,
against $4,000 and $4,000 bales re-
spectively in 1895. The reduction in
Oregon has been greater in proportion
than in the other states. It will thus
be seen that the Pacific coast crop will
be from 100000 to 10000 bales. II
would not be surprising, after the crop
is secured. to find the coast yield less
than 100, 900 bales, because the inferior
hops have not been contracted for. and
it is impossible to obtain advances for
picking money.
The increase in the yearly production
OF hops in Oregon has been enormous.
The following figures for the past four
years show the marketings: 1899, 25.-
900 bales; 1898, $1,000 bales; 1894,
IS, 900 bales; 1895, 100, 900 bales.
The rapid increase was entirely un-
warranted by the condition of the mar
ket, and its interruption this year,
when our production will be less than
$4,000 bales. is the penalty for our
zealousness, and for our lack Of consid.
Grafton.
The growers Of the state of Washing
ton used better Judgment. and their
production in 1894 was less than in
1898, being $4,000 bales, while in 1895
it was but 5000 bales, and this year
will be less than 10000, hence the
suffering has not been so severe in our
sister state.
California also acted promptly in
reducing production. and from 67,500
bales in 1884, dropped TO $4,000 bales
in 1895, and this year probably less
than 40, 1000.
The New York crop is variously es-
timated at between 10000 and So, 600
bales.
The production in all other states
will probably amount to $4,000 bales
Using the above figures we summar-
ize as follows: Oregon, $4,000 bales;
Washington, 10000 bales; California,
100000 bales; New York, S5, 900 bales;
other states. $4,000 bales; total. 2l0,.
900 bales.
This is more than the United States
consumes in a year.
