Additional Local.

Persons renting hop yards are having
consider able trouble in many cases to
secure picking money. 1t will require
cents per pound to pick and dry the hops
but in ,he present state of the market no
one wants to loan that amount on the
crop. The total cost Of raising hops on a
rented yard is about 10 cents per pound,
and it looks at present as though the
renter will not only lose his work for the
past year, but be will also be out his
living expenses. Thus far there have
been number of hop CROPS contracted
fo in this county and the contract price
in nearly all cases is 10 cents per pound.
In only one case has higher price been
offered when the contract price was fixed
at ii cents. It is not too late, however.
for the market to take change for the
better.-Albany Herald.
