HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIIISTONP, June 28.—The bine is still growing in a satia,
factory manner. We are yet clear of flea and fly; no
mould is observable, and the only enemy we have at this
moment to fear is excessive moisture. Our hope now is in
a good share of dry warm days, the importance of which to
our prospects is admitted by all hop.growcrs.
Loose, June 27.—The bane in some grounds has a de•
ride ly taint appearance today, but remains cleats ; and
a continuance of flue weather no doubt will give it
fresh vigour.
Ul.etAlD.—The bine is gent rally good, with few excep•
Lions, and growing fast, notwithstanding the late rains,with
scarcely any fly. The grounds are in a very bad state, from
chickweed, as it is iropos.ible to get anything like good cul-
tivation until we get the weather more settled. The same
will apply to Broomfield and Leeds.
EAST FAULUIOII.—Very good; we Lase no insects, and
but very little mould; on the whole we may say they are
looking very well.
YALDING AND WPST FARIMOH.—The bine still grows,
but some grounds begin to chew the effects of the wet wea-
ther, and will do so more and more as the time draws on.
A wet season was never a kindly one for hops. There is no
fly or any other evil than the too great quantity of raiu,which
must have a serious effect on the crop.
Avi.esroitD.—The bine in some grounds begins to show

soon, the prospect of a full crop will be bad.
lIADLOW.—The hops are growing rapidly; the bine at.
places is looking a little yellow at the tips ; we waist warm,
airy weather.
MEUEWOUTII, NETTLXISTEAD, and WATIDLINOBURY.—
They flourish fast, and look well, and we hear of nothing
against them.
WISOTUASL—The bine grows rather unevenly; the flea
is pretty well gone,—no mould to be seen. The bine is
looking yellow, and evidently feeling the effects of the long
continued wet, and from want of cultivation, which the wet
weather prevents.
MAKDEN.—The bine on the wet grounds is becoming
yellow.
CRANIDLOOK.—Daring the last few days we have had
better weather, which has enabled us to visit the plantations
without sinking int, the mud out of sight. The plant has
certainly in some places a somewhat unhealthy and yellow
appearance, and as its position is every day becoming more
and more critical, we have devoted a considerable portion of
our leisure time for some few days past in examining it
closely, and have also embraced every opportunity afforded
us of ascertaining the opinions of those who have spent
many years in the hop cultivation, in order that our own
impressions, which we deem verified by ocular proof, shall
be authenticated by even better eOunossicUrS in such mat,
ten. The young grounds present promising appearances-
and the bine looks green and healthy.
ltoLvemugg.—The hops in this neighbourhood, upon the
dry land, are growing very fast, but upon the stiff soils,
although well drained, are looking very yellow. We have
a few fly, but scarcely worth notice.
SANDIIIIRST.—The bine during the last few days has
made no progress, except upon the best soil. There is no
increase of tly.
KENsINO, SEAL, AND OTFORD.—The bine is in a healthy
growing state, and free front vermin of every description.
CANTEILIWIM—Since last week the hops have grown
very much, and are looking a better colour , very little fly
is to be found, and the present appearance indicates a good
crop. General accaunta are pretty much to the same effect
—stating the hops to be free from vermin, but needing
settled and warm weather.--Maidstone Journal of this day.
