the help we had counted on obtaining
from the cities west of the mountains
has not yet been notified of the fact that
the picking has begun.
"The fruit, vegetable and grain crops
throughout Eastern Washington this
year are also extraordinarily large and
labor for the hop fields is rendered scar
Ger than usual by the larger number OF
hands required for harvesting the other
crops. We are anxious to get pickers
from any source and can employ from
1000 to 500 from this side of the noun
tains for the next thirty days. We are
paying 81 box, which is equivalent to
about ! cents pound, and is all that
we can safely afford to lay out for har-
vesting the crop.
"a large percentage of the hop crop
in the Yakima valley is harvested by
the Indians, who are among the best
pickers we have. There are about 900
Of the Yakimas and klickitats who regu-
larly work in the hop fields, and about
1000 more from the Columbia river,

HOP SITUATION.
D. e. Lesh Gives His Views on the Subject
Possible Shortage.

D. +. Lesh, president and general
manager of the Mckee company, which
owns one of the largest hop yards in this
valley, was in Seattle last Saturday for
the purpose OF employing hop pickers.
The hop picking season is now on in
earnest in this valley and there is a
possibility that labor will be hard to Sc
cure to take care OF the crops. While in
Seattle Mr.. Lesh met reporter of the
p. l. and had the following to say on
the hop situation in this valley:
"The quantity of the Yakima hop crop
has never been better than this year"
said Mr.. Lesh yesterday. 1.-The total
production will probably fall 1000 bales
below the II 900 of last year, owing to
the extreme heat of the latter part of
the summer, which kept down the foil
age OF the vines and mace the hops
smaller than in ordinary years. The
small and medium sized hops are more
highly esteemed than the large, however.
"The early ripening of the crop has
seriously disconnected us as the saying
is, we don't know just where we are at.
The season opened damp and cool and
we confidently expected late harvest,
and so announced The result is that
the Indian pickers are still out in the
mountains berry picking and cannot be
reached, the local white pickers are not
yet ready to go out into the fields, and

states for 1901. Last year was great
brewing year, and the old crop is said to
be pretty well exhausted. The annual
consumption is about 250, 900 bales, and
it is claimed that the crop of the nation
this year will not exceed 10000. If
this report proves true well founded
prices are likely to rule higher than
in recent years.
"a decrease in the yield for the pres
ent season is reported from Oregon.
There will also be shortage in New
York. England will have full crop.
The reports from Germany and Bavaria
are not definite, but it is probable that
they will have average crops. As Eng
land is the only country we export to the
full crop there may have a tendency to
hold down prices here.
"The estimates for the hop crop of this
season in this country are: California,
As 900 bales; Washington, $4,000 bales ;
New York, $4,000 bales; Oregon, $4,000
to 60 900 bales total OF from 10000 to
10000 bales.
"North Yakima and the entire Yaki-
ma valley are suffering from a freight
car famine. The Northern Pacific has
so far given us for moving our crops
only the cars that come to us loaded
with local freight and has dropped off no
'empties.' We are certain to find our
selves seriously hampered in moving
late fruits, vegetables, grain and hops
unless the railroad can be induced to
listen to our request for more cars"
