Revival of Hop industry.

Salem-Hop contracts far in excess
of the contracts for a similar period
for last year, and advices received by
growers and dealers here from every
hop center in Oregon, indicate a Won
derful revival of the hop industry. The
prevailing price in contracts is 10

ing contracted for by all the dealers
here. Reports from Oregon City indi
cate a condition even more favorable to
hopgrowers than that found here.
