iae a bOuntiful yield In Iact, tbe OiS
qon crop. at least the one in this sec
tion OF the willamette valley, promises
TO he a very good one, and many hop
men now look for a full crop, some oil
them predicting as large a yield as
that of last year, while the conserva'
fiyes do not place their figures below
10000 bales.
In about two weeks, when the hops
will be in the burr, much better es'
innate can be made Of the prospective
crop than can be done now, but the
splendid growth enjoyed by the vines
and arms promises a bountitul yield'
and owners of yards are much encour'
aged with the outlook.
During the spring many reports
were made OF missing hills, and many
Yards did show spots that were some
what thin. These missing bills are
stil missing-nothing else could be
expected-and they will cut down the
production OF those particular yards
10 a certain extent, but some of this
loss will be made up by the greater
production OF those hills that had
their full growth, and In which case
proper training of the vines from
neighboring hills over the vacant
spots will cause these healthy vines
TO produce a heavier yield than usual
thus making up for some of the short
age. while the remainder Of the loss
win be largely covered by the yield OF
new yards that will produce their
FIRST crops this year, and there is a
generous supply of this class.
Reports from other hop sections re-
gardlng this years crop are encourag.
ing. and the prospects almost every.
where point to bountiful harvest.
