Pickers May Be Short in Yards
Hop growers in Salem face a potential picker shortage as steam traffic to Portland halts until fall high water. Loop pickers from Portland, now blocked, must use rail or Oregon Electric, while upriver yards near Willamette require team transport. Dray costs and railroad fares increase to accommodate hundreds of families and harvesters. Also noted are arrivals of household goods for Warren Nichols, W J Seaver, and R H Frager, with a car load of farming implements expected soon.
