Serious Situation Faces
Hop Crowtrs In Oregon

While the prune men are having
their troubles, they are nothing com
pared to hop men, according to one who
is familiar with the hop situation. The
fact is, the hop men are OH the fence
and hardly know which way to turn.
There is the assurance that no more
hops will be needed for the manufac-
ture of beer until a year after the sol
diers are demobilized and then only
by a proclamation Of the president.
There is also the feeling that the man
ufacture of beer in England will be
largely reduced and as England was
the big market, the hop men are fac
ing lot of uncertainty. Even with
these conditions very few men are
plowing up their hop tracts but are
waiting until next spring to finally
decide what to do about it. The quo
tations on hops today are 10 and II
cents but it is figured with the pres
ent condition prevailing next year, il
would cost IA or Is, cents t. produce
the crop.
With the production of beer cut, the
only use there is for hops is in the
making of yeast, dyes and its uses for
medicinal purposes, but this would re-
quire but five per cent Of an ordinary
crop.
AT the timeof the greatest prosper
'ity in the hop business, it is estimated
that $4,000 acres were planted in Ore
gon. No statistics havs been kept by
which the present acreage can be esti-
mated but it is known that many of
the most successful hop growers plow-
ed up their fields this year and that
many yards across the river and near
Independence were not picked, as the
