they are banked UP on either side Of
the room by men armed with immense
scoop shovels for the purpose. The
curing process occupies time, and us
ually continues through the picking
season. In curing the hops lose their
brittleness and absorb moisture until
they are tough enough to withstand
serious breakage in baling. At this
stage the cones are oily and eXude a
resinous substance, which is very
pleasant in odor, but which makes
handling very unpleasant. Care is eX-
ercsed in handling the cones, as APP
| pearance goes a great way with the
| buyer, and broken hops bring lower
| price in market.
| Baling is a simple matter. On the
| big plantations the presses are run by
horsepower and are located on the
ground floor The hops run into the
| presses from a shute and the rest is
done by power machinery.
On small plantations, which are far
| more numerous and constitute the typi-
cal hop growing farm, the press is OPP
Grated by hand lever which is at
| tached to the side of the press and re-
sembles the handle to an old time town
pump.
The baling process is the same in
large and small establishments. The
pressed hops present clean. smooth
sides and sharp corners. The burlap
is sewn together except on one side.
Il Il
age as a pillow case is drawn over
pillow, and is fastened at the open side
by sewing with double twine Follow
ing this rope is drawn around the
bale, it is branded and is ready for
shipment.
Profits and Expenses.
The price of hops varies from year to
year. In 1892 the price was 60 cents
pound. Last year some good crops
sold for - cents. The latter price gives
a very small margin of profit. With re-
gard to the cost Of production, hop
grower is quoted as saying: at isn't
as cheap crop as you may think. The
common estimate of the cost of raising
hops is seven cents; that is to grow,
cultivate, dry, press, and put upon the
market. Now l figure the expense as
nearer II cents, which will cover the
cost Of land, taxes and improvements.
TO begin with, the soil must be rich
river bottom land. Then comes fenc-
ing, planting, cultivating, buying poles
and Irvine and putting up the kiln with
its appliances. Poles cost $50 a thou.
sand, twine So an acre. The vines must
be cultivated as long as a horse can
be driven through them. There is no
end to the work from the first plow-
ing in February to the pulling up and
slowing away of the poles for the Win

The rose has its thorn. or the hop vines
have rough harsh stems that irritate

the number and weight of the basket
are set down in a book opposite the

Since the United States weather

that which has marked this early
summer in the first year OF the
twentieth century. The hot wave
is as long and as broad as tn

due to the awful humidity.

SIGNIFICANT COMMENT
ON THE DEFALCATI0N
AttOrney-GeneraI Blackburn VIII MOI
Prosecute Davis
As Legislature Instructed Him. But
Refers II TO the District Attorney.
Reported Large AeenmDlstions Of
worthless Notes Held BY the State.

A Salem special says:
The notes referred TO are known as
state land notes" and we're given by
purchasers Of school land in part pay
ment Of the purchase price Of the land.
There are hundreds Of these notes in the
State Land Office. Many Of them date
back to 1880 and interest payments are
indorse1 up to 1891 but when the hard
times came, the purchasers became de-
linquent and failed 10 make their pay
ments. The purchaser has certificate
Of sale, and has possession Of the land.
The State Land Board has received q
part payment in cash and several years
interest. The Board has the right 10
cancel the certificate at any time, and
always does 80 when new purchaser
can he found for the land. The original
purchaser cannot secure title 70 the
land unless he pays the balance due on
his note and secures a deed from the
Board.
The Board has never brought suit on
one proof, and for the further reason
that in most cases the promisors are eK.
ecution proof, and for the further reason
that in all cases the state keeps the land
until the notes are paid.
II is probable that in many instances
purchasers have kept possession Of the
land for 20 years and secured some rev.
enue from it, and yet have not paid even
the interest. In some cases the timber
may have been removed from the land
and then the devastsd tract left to the
state, along with the unpaid note. The
State Land Board may bring suit on any
Of the notes, but has never thought best
70 do 30.
Loan notes, given TO evidence q loan
from the school funds, are secured by
mortgages, and none OF this class now on
hand can be called worthless.
AttOrney.General Blackburn was
asked what his next step in the Land
Office matter would be. He said that
the clerks will now examine the books
Of the terms Of w. II. Odell and NJ. l.,
