Hop Picking in Josephine County.

Pacific distributed in Rogue river
valley appear to be hale and hearty.
The latest information from there
is that they are growing, but there
is no record of more than hatful
harvest of the leaves, so that the
infant industry is still in its swad-
ding clothes.
Oregon is believed to be we'll
adapted olimatically to the culture
of tea. The only handicap to the in
dustry is the high price of labor in
Oregon as compared with that in
Oriental countries and in the southern
states, where colored children work
the fields at low cost.
Climatic conditions in Japan, in
which the tea plant thrives, are very
much like those of Oregon. Allan
Cameron, agent at Hong Kong for the
Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com
pany, wrote several months ago that
he thought the project for Southern
Oregon good one. The tea plant
is not affected adversely by the rigors
of Oregon climate. On the campus of
State Agricultural College at Corval-
lis is plant which has thriyed in its
present environment for 10 years. -

Hop picking began Monday in all
of the hop fields of Josephine county
and nearly 1000 pickers are at work
this week. The crop will be larger
and the quality of hops above the
average. The hop business is getting
to be an industry of considerable pro-
portions in this county, and consider
ing its size, rs great a quantity of
hops are produced in Josephine as in
any other conunty in the state.
The climatic and general conditions
required for the production of hops
are perhaps more favorable here than
in any other section of the state. In
theWillametto Valley September rains
usually interfere with religious
regularity each season, and oftimes do
much damage and reduce the quality
of the hops. In Josephine county,
rains very seldom interfere and the
season for picking is nearly always
dry.
The Josephine county yards are
situated in Williams valley, along
Williams creek, and along the Rogue
and Applegate rivers. In the matter
of pretty camping places for the
pickers, it is doubtful if more beauti-
full spots in this regard can be found
=
and shady hooks make picking hops in
Josephine county both pleasant and
profitable. Here, as elsewhere,
scores of entire families HE for the

number of such families make from
$50 to $3.50 in single season.
The price paid for picking this sea-
son is the same here as in the william
ette Valley. Some of the yards are
paying 40 and some 80 cents per box.
The smaller yards find it necessary
to pay 30 cents in order to get a sufll-
cient number of pickers. The big
yards are always more attractive from
the fact that they offer social advan-
tages not to be found at the smaller
yards. The word" social is used here
from hop picking sense altogether,
and only those who have been hop
picking can appreciate the social con
ditions that surround the big yard or
cluster of yards where three or
four hundred people are camped
together. There is never lack Of
entertainment Musicians, especially
"fiddlers" are always on hand, and
the hop yard is a feature that has due
attention every night Of the season.
The hop yard dance, be it known, be-
longs TO distinct class of its own
There is no other dance like it. There
is just as much difference between
a hop yard dance and any other kind
as there is between an aristocratic
dress ball and a back woods "shin-
dig. 1t must not be inferred from
this that the hop yard dance is a
bad affair at all, because it is not.
A hop yard dance is hop with
plenty of "hop" in it,
About $4,000 will be paid pickers
by Josephine county hop growers this
season. A number Of growers have
contracted good portion Of this crop
at from 0to 13 cents. This was done
last winter before the price began to
make an upward climb. 1t seems
evident at this time that the price for
this year will be 90 or 2j cents.
From this it would seem that the
growers who have contracted for 10
or 10 cents are unfortunate; however
they are not as bad Off as they may
seem and none Of them regret their
step in the least The price Of hops,
like the price Of wheat, apples or
prunes, is something that can only
be guessed, at, and while it may
be 20 cents today, it may be only half
that a week from now.
The following is the list Of Jose
phine county growers together with
the number Of acres they have in
VIM. SoEenson, 20 acres
J. W. York, 81 acres.
b. W. Baldwin, 10 acres.

John Ranzau, 30 arces.
II. l. Robinson, % acres.
Isaac Finley, l6 acres.
II. B. Miller, % acres.

As can be seen by adding the above
figures, Josephine county had 250
acres in hops. As before mentioned.

Number of Delegates In State ConYen-
ton.

There is a great deal.of discussion Just
now over the alleged question as to the
basis of representation in the coming
state convention. The Legislature
was reapportioned last year to accord
with the new census, and some of the
counties of the state now have more
and some fewer representatives in the
House than they had before. The
question raised is whether the eonven.
ton will be based on the present Leg
islature or the coming Legislature.
AS matter of fact, the State Exec
utive Committee settled that matter
positively in its resolutions. 1t was
then provided that the representation
in the convention should be double
the number of members in the lower
house of the next Legislature from
each county.
