The directors of the Oregon Hop
Growers association held meeting in
Woodburn Monday, and the policy Of
the association for this season was dis.
cussed and outlined.
OF the thirteen directors Of the as
sociation, nine were present, viz: M. L.
Jones, Of Brooks, president; DR.. ]. w.
Hill, Portland, vice president; Henry l..
Bentz, Butteville, secretary James Win
stanley, Salem, manger Francis Feller,
Butteville, treasurer; II. d. Mount, Sill
verton r, d. Cooper, Independence g..
b. Hovenden, Hubbard and o. l.. Bar
ber, Woodburn.
It was determined that no attempt
will be made to pool this years crop Of
hops. The executive committee of the
o. II. g. A. will act as sales agents for
any hops placed in its hands, and it will
be able TO realize as good price as the
IN arket will justify.
In fact the association is in an exc
cellent position TO do better by the
grower than ever before. IL has the
prestige Of last years large business and
has established relations of confidence
with consumers all over the world.
The proposition of Lillienthal Bros.
to advance cents for picking and pay
10 cents per pound for the crop, provided
only 75 per cent OF the acreage be pick
ed was considered briefly but was not
accepted, as 1t was considered I'M
| practical.
The association will handle supplies
for growers, procuring them at the lowest
possible figure, to fill all orders from
growers accompanied by the cash.
Jas. Winstanley was retained as
manager.
Henry b. Thielsen was appointed
auditor to audit the association books
and report later
The matter Of the price to be paid for
picking was discussed, and the general
opinion was that IL would range from 30
TO 80 cents per box.
Mr.. Winstanley reported 90 bales oi
1899 hops on hand, some OF that num-
ber being held as collateral for mater.
ials advanced.
A grand hop growers picnic will be
held at Butteville, Or, August IL, 1900,
under the auspices Of the Hop Growers
Fire Relief Association, OF Butteville,
Or The Hop" in it's various stages,
peculiarities and environments will be
thoroughly discussed by practical hop
growers, The price TO be paid for pick
ing the next crop will be determined
upon, n very important matter.
The Hop Growers Fire Relief Associa.
tioI will this year number about 800
members,o or about two.thirds Of the hop
growers OF the entire state. At this
gathering we will have every hop sec
tion represented, consequently any ac-
tion taken will be OF considerable inn
portance 10 the hop industry.
An interchange of ideas by practical
hop growers will bring out the best
methods now in successful use, and
such discussions must be Of vast benefit
TO all who desire to keep abreast Of the
times. By establishing uniform price
for picking hops, both grower and picker
will be sayed endless bother and worry.
For these and many other reasons we
expect n vast assemblage Of hop growers
with their families and we'll. filled bask-
eto) at the above named place, and we
will promise day OF instruction,
Amusement and sociability.
