HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAILISTONK, July 26.—The binesT-cMiZes to grow, and
the burr is fast making its appearance, with every prospect
of an abundant crop.
MALLING.—The hops continuo healthy and growing,
promising for a crop.
YALDINO AND HVNTON.—Our hops are getting on (a-
bly, sad the burr is coming out very fast, though the
mould has made its appearance in many gardens ; at pre-
sent we hope it is not to any dangerous extent.
LANBERNURAT.—The hops in this parish are looking ex-
ceedingly
well, in a growing state, free from vermin, and
with every prospect of a full crop.
CISANIGIOOL.—Our hops are improving daily, and are
generally looking well and coming fast into burr. Altoge-
ther the prospect of a crop is cheering.
B.AL.—The biue is growing luxuriantly, and will soon
be out in burr.

OTPOIW.--The bine is remarkably strong; the leaves at
the bottom are turning yellow in some of the plantations,
but on the whole is doing wonders.
SMARDIEN.—The bine has in general made great progress
within this last fortnight. Some pieces are looking very
well. The bine is rather short, but in general healthy.
U4cous.—Our bine is looking very well, and tree from
lice and fly. No mould has made its appearance yet, and
the grounds are very clean.
GOUDIMILt4T.—A very. material improvement has taken
place in the bine during the past week. Some gardens,
which it was supposed could not grow above 4 or 5 cwt.
per acre, is all probability will double the quantity. The
branches are extending from pole to pole, andlook unusually
luxuriant.

11U1U1T0131115N.—The hops continue to improve in this
neighbourhood.
I' AUNMAY. ALTON, and COUNTRY ENTILICTS, July 26.--
Our plantations m going on as well as we could desire.—
SouM.Eastern Gazette.
EAST FAULEIOII.—The bins is still growing. A few lice
have been seen, and mould has shown itself in several parts
of the neighbourhood. Should we get heavy, gloomy wea-
ther, it is doubtful if there may not, even yet, be a failure
this season.

Wiser Fsatattate—The bine has grown much during
the week, the hot weather causing the burr to develop itself.
With but one exception our neighbourhood promises well,
but the mould incresaes rapidly in some grounds.
Tue SVITON3 AND BouonToN.—The bine, where not
mouldy, has pushed on vigorously this week. There are
some lice to be found. Mould is on the increase ; we have
some grounds very hard hit with it; in hot weather, with
such an early attack of this disease, it generAly proves
very injurious to the Golding hops on the hill. Brimstone
has been tried, but, although it appears to destroy the mould
for a time, it comes again as bad as ever.
MAHDEN.—The bine generally is growing very fast, but
in some grounds has turned yellow.
Kinssisto.—The bine can do well with the weather of
the past week, and the burr is coming out beautifully.
WHOTKAM.—The bioo is looking well, and altogether
progressing most favourably as it can hardly fail to do with
this fine weather. _

Rol.vinuslf.—Oar best grounds continue to improve.
Many gardens are considerably tire-blasted, and there are
many dead hills ; such grounds cannot come out at a large
er*JA.NTISIBUILY.—Tbe fine weather is still showing upon
the hop plantations in this district in a most beneficial man -
ner—in fact, it is quite impossible they can be any better.
Burr is now appearing in many grounds ; and, altogether,
the prospect of a large crop is most promising.
TICEHUZST.—Our bine is growing nicely, and coming
fast into burr.—Maidstone Journal.
