Squamish Wind - 1939

This is an annual school journal that was written, edited and published by the students of Squamish High School.

The pages appear to be out of order, but that is because the numbers on the printed copy are wrong. It goes from page 30 to 34, 33, and then 34 again.

The physical copy contains duplicates of pages 15 to 30.

At a hop ranch

Herbert Lawson Rae next to horse; Robert Stewart (Bert) Rae on horseback.

Hop farming was Squamish's first major industry. The major producer was Squamish Valley Hop Raising Co. (Bell-Irving Ranch). Hops are perennials and grown about 6 feet apart. They are picked during September and August. Hops are dried and bleached with sulphur in a kiln. In Squamish, Chinese labour was brought in to tend the hops. Local First Nations picked them. They would camp in the area now between Petro Canada gas station and the Cottonwood condominiums. The hops in Squamish were top grade. They were shipped to Vancouver in bales wrapped in Burlap, then shipped to Britain where they were used to make beer.
