Hop Growers Want Hot Weather.

Portland = Hop crop conditions IN
this state do not improve, and unless a
hot spell of weather sets in very soon
the quality of the crop is certain to be
spotted and the quantity reduced.
Where yards have been thoroughly
SPRAYED the vermin attack has been
kept down, although in some instances
the attack is still persistent, ever
after the third spraying. The worst
reports, are from yards where growers
neglected to spray. 1t is difficult t.
see how these yards can have othel
than a very poor quality.
