of Seattle pickers Is causing any dill
Guilty in handling the Yakima hop crop.
II is supposed that the shortage will not
be seriously felt. as II Is not mentioned
in the following letter received yester-
day by Mr.. Grout from c. A. Fechter,
secretary OF the Yakima Hop Growers
Associations:
while your work in securing hop pick

as In previous years. we are fully aware
