Hop Association
VIII Enforce Contracts

Enforcement of all contracts between
growers and the Oregon Hop assoeia-
tion was discussed at the meeting of
the directors of the association last
Saturday. A letter has been addressed
to all hop growers who are members
warning them against delivering con-
tracted hops to any person or firm 9th
.er than the authorized agent of the
association.
Word was received Saturday from So
noma, Cal. that the price of hops
there was 40 cents. Many inquiries are
being received by the association from
brewers and the association tells its
members that it is in a position to
handle the old as well as the new hops.
The letter that all members of the
association will receive is as follows:
THE Oregon Hopgrowers association
will enforce all its contracts with the
growers. As soon as your hops are
ready for delivery notify the associa-
tion.
1T is said that some members of
the association have contracted hops
heretofore contracted to this associa-
tiOn to other parties. Such contracts
are not valid and cannot be enforced.
All growers are hereby warned
against delivering hops contracted to
