ment insists on carry out the law
relating to the sale of hops to GER

the state made by 4. A. Livesley.
of n. A. Liyesley & company, local
business man who has dealt in hops
in a large way for many years and
who has a wide acquaintance
among farmers throughout the
state and is therefore in a good po-
sition to know the facts.
While good general corps may
be raised in many sections OF Ore
gon. vet 1t is also a fact that there
are some other sections where the
nature of the soil is such as to pre-
clude the possibility of general
farming.
The hop plant fs a very virile
plant and will grow and thrive in
most any place and under most any
condition-hence much OF the acre
age in Oregon that was not suitable
for the raising of general crops was
utilized for the raising of hops. TINS
enabled people who owned land
that was not or much value other
wise TO utilize It, Most of the hop
supply of the country was produced
In the coast states, and the hop in
dustry was quite a sizable one and
many thousands of people have ev-
ertyhing they possess tied up in this
industry.
According to the authority above
mentioned there were in the state
of Oregon alone $1,000 acres devot-
ed to hop farming. Many thousands
of men were engaged. Each acre
produced approximately 100
pounds of hops per annum. And
the market price of hops was about
rs cents per pound on an average,
Mr. Livesley says. BY little null
duplication you will see that the
state of Oregon alone produced 29,-
700, 900 pounds of hops with mon
etary value Of s7,425,000. These
figures are very conservative at
that.
Some of these hops found mar
ket in Europe, but only small part
OF the crop. Within recent years
several of the English colonies
have engaged in the hop raising in
dustry and the crop produced over
