Hop Crop Estimate 100000 Bales.

Salem, Or.-Oregon's hop crop fol
1915, according to the average esti-
mates of growers and dealers, will
equal 100, 900 bales. To pick the
states crop Of hops and for other ex-
penses, incidental to labor, growers
have paid approximately 81, 900, 900.
In figuring the hop output, growers
and dealers vary in their estimates.
The Oregon Hop Growers association
officials announce that the crop will be
about 80, 900 bales, while independent
dealers place their figures higher.
Offsetting the partial failure of the
crop in the St. Paul and Gervais dis
tricts is the increase in the production
of the yards in the Independence dis
trict.
Conditions in this section were re-
markably good, growers declare, and
nearly all the yards bore heavily.
Fourteen prominent growers in the In
dependence district this year have
total output approximating 20,
bales. In 1914 these growers had
total production of 16, 900 bales.
Reports received here by dealers are
to the effect that in Lane county the
crop will be about 5000 bales, practi-
cally the same as last year. In Wash
ington county advices are that this
years yield will approximate $1,000
bales.
With 5000 bales, the E. c. Horst
company. Of this section, leads all
other growers. The Horst yards last
year produced $500 bales. C. A. Nc
Laughlin's crop this season is 1850
bales, as compared with 1857 bales in
1914. Because of disastrous fires
which destroyed seven kilns belonging
to T. A. Livesley & Co., at Livesley
station, south Of this city, this firm
has approximately 800 bales, while
last season the production equaled 1900
bales.

APPROVAL OF PROGRAM IS PROBABlI

Washington, D. c. - The building
program Of the general board Of the
navy will call for at least six big
ships, it was learned Saturday from
authoritative sources at the Navy de-
partment. At least one, and possibly
two, of these will be battle cruisers,
and the rest super-dreadnaughts.
At present the navy has no battle
cruisers, but experts of the general
board are convinced that the develop
ment Of this type by nations against
which the United States is obliged to
prepare makes it necessary to provide
ships of this type without delay.
Japan, Great Britain and Germany
have experimental with the battle
cruiser and have amply demonstrated
its usefulness. 1t has been shown that

ting a battle cruiser except with ships
of the same type, and for that reason,
experts say, it is absolutely necessary
for the United States to construct
them. Submarines are considered as
auxiliary only.
The board is at work on a compre-
hensive battle cruiser program, which,
it is hoped, can be followed from yeal
to year until the navy is equipped with
an adequate number. Certain mem.
bers of the board favor building two q
year, beginning at once, and continu.
ing at that rate until the required
ratio to other navies is reached.
"lt is all question of what natior
we are going to fight" said high
naval official. 'If we are preparing
for defense against first class naval
power we might as well have no navy
at all as little one."
The secretary of the navy will rec.
ommend substantial increases in the

will not go as far in this direction as
the general board will recommend.

Corn and Tomato Backs Short.

Portland - Estimates covering the
1915 corn pack have been reduced by
conservative factors to 1900, 900 cases.
Early estimates were for a pack of
5000, 900 cases. The 1914 pack was
9,7ss, 900 cases, and the average for
the three years 1912, 1918 and 1914
was 10000, 900 cases. Cold and un-
seasonable wet weather during the
critical growing period for making
sweet corn played havoc with the pros

The tomato pack for 1915 promises
now not to exceed $500. 900 cases.
