WEIsNER BUYS MORE LAND

A. B. Weisner closed a deal Monday
for the purchase of a 5S-acre timber
tract which lies only short distance
from his present valuable farm be-
tween Silyerton and Salem. The land
formerly was owned by Clarence,
Frank and Arthur Simmons and has
been kaown as the Simmons estate. 1t
is safely estimated by Mr. Weisner
that the land will produce one-half mil
lion feet of good saw timber besides a
quantity of splendid post material.
The present owner considers it a
splendid buy and his success in invest
ments prove that his Judgment can be
relied upon.-Silyerton Appeal.

HOP YARDS ARE
BEING PLOWED UP
Many Polk County Growers
Are Discouraged Over
Low Prices

Because Of the poor condition of
the present market and the belief that
the market can not grow stronger, be-
cause of the effect Of prohibition in the
countries of the world local growers are
plowing up their hop yards and sewing
to other crops, says the Dallas OBJ
server. Abel Uglow has 10 or IL acres
which he had in hops the past few years
but which he will put into white beans
for next year. J. NJ. Grant has decided
to turn his 12 acres, north of the city,
into prunes. Chet Coad and J. NJ.
Grant have not decided whether to dis
continue hops on their 1S-acre joint
Yard or to plant to something else. W.
T. Foster is still undecided as 70 what
TO plant on the eight acres he has in
hops. His land is not suitable for prunes
and Mr. Foster will probably SOW grain.
L. n. Bilieu, Of Bridgeport, is consider
ing putting his Is acres of hops TO some
thing else. II is reported that the un-
used Hallock yard at Ellendale will be
plowed under.
A few years ago Frank Fawk in Salt
Creek had 81 acres in hops; now heshas
1g-l0 were plowed up this fall--and
il is possible that he will turn some of
the present 10 acres to other nse in 1917.
OF Warren F'rink, 8 Is acres near
Bridgeport at least part of them, Mr.,
Frink thinks, will be placed in some
other crop. Jake Crider has put go acres
of former hop land to prunes. Other
growers who are said to be contemplate
ing changing from hops to some other
crop are Ed Jacobsen, 20 acres; William
HoisingtoE, 80 acres. and Charles Bill
yeu.
As an indication of the hop market
the following from trade paper bears
Testimony;
There was fair amount of hop buy
ing in Oregon during the past week, and
| 10 and 10 1-2 cents was paid to cover
precious sales, but new business with
4 the east cannot be contracted over al
4 8 cent basis to the grower. There ars
still nearly 100000 bales unsold on tht
coast and this is dead weight on tht
market
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-12-23

There are still about 100000 bales of
hops nnsold on the coast, with 9 cents
the highest being paid for the best
hops, and only a very few being sold
at any price. The prospects are not at
al Encouraging from any view point
whether it be the growers, the dealers
or the brewers. Beer production fell
off 1,175,000 barrels for the year end
ing June 80, 1916, compared with 1915.
and the average amount of hops used
per barrel fell from .64 pounds to SO
pounds. In Great Britain, the produc-
tion of beer fell off 1,450,000 barrels
in the nine months ending September
30, and may reach 2,000,0O0 barrels by
the end Of the year. That country will
make 100000 barrels less in 1916 than
| in 1914, and the end is not yet.
