HOP INTELLIGENCE.

OTNAM.—We are doing very well at present ; the wet
weather has apparently done us no injury. We have
nothing to complain of in the way of vermin, being very
clean.
STAPLEHURST.—The long continued rains have done as ,
much injury, but we have very little vermin.
Matinzw.—The hops in our neighbourhood, where the
ground is dry, are doing very well, and the bine is growing
in
rapidly, but the heavy lands, where the ground gets I
chilled, they are greatly checked, and are in as unkind
state ; we have no vermin to speak of.
BM:ORTON MALlizane.—The hops are doing well ; there
is but little vermin; the bine looks rather yellow in COMO-
quence of the wet weather.
CHART fierros.—We are changing colour inconsequence
of the prevalence of wet weather—the leaves turning rather
yellow ; we are pretty clean and free from vermin.
WATERINOIItILT.—The late rains have not yet, appe-
' rently, much affected uc; in some places we are turning
rather yellow. There is a little fly, but altogether we are
pretty clear, and free from vermin.
Beasetwo.—The hope are growing very vigorously, and
are looking healthy ; the wet weather has not had much
effect at present. There is a little fly.
BODORTON MONCIIELPRA.—The hops UT looking re-
markable well, the bine growing strongly and vigorously ;
there is talk of a little fly, but very trifling.
THE Surross.—The bine grows very rapidly; there is
very little By. We feel the effect of the continued rains,
and are much in want of dry, sunny weather, the colour
having slightly changed.
EAST PECKHAM, June 17. —We still keep growing, and,
though wo have continued showers, it has not hurt us yet ;
we must say we are going on well.
ROTUORTIELD, June 15.—Our last week's report will
also serve fur this, excepting there is an increase of fly in
general. The Mlles are growing famously.
Loose, Juno 17.—Our bine is very vigorous, and at pre-
sent we have but very little fly ; but the continual wet pre-
vents the usual cultivation. Many grounds arc as green as
the meadows with chickweed, and, unless we get floe
weather soon, we shall be in fear about mould, and I guess
flour of brimstone will be in great demand, which last year
was used by a few experimentalists with good effect, and
they have full confidence in it as a cure.
LTROCKRAY HILL, June 17.—The bine in this district is
weeestripping the poles, with very little vermin.
HAITILHOWIT, June 19.—The hop blues are not looking
se well, and so growing as last week ; they sre getting very
p4low at places, from too much rain. There is not an much
Ay as last week.
BINENDEN, June 17.—The bine is this parish is still pro-
favourably, although the late weather has affected
Cleallgzreeeds, which are rather yellow. The fly has not
BANDKIIRST, June 17.—The continued wet weather is
operating very unfavourably on the hops, in most gardens
tuning them yellow, checking their growth, and hindering
Wage of any description.
COWDEN, June 17.—Since writing last, we have to state
that yellow has made its appearance, although some gar-
Mei continue in a growing state ; and where the bine has
topped the poles, yesterday's (Wednesday's) wind has done
mar mmaiderable damage. As to fly and lice, they are
MOD numerous.
PINUTEST, June 17.—We are collecting more fly—forty
on a leaf, and a more unfavourable appearance is taking
pines respecting the forthcoming crop.
MATTIULD, June 17.—The bine is growing very rapidly.
and is hee from vermin. We think the late continual
Miss have made the bine look a little sickly.
PRIIBITRT, June 17.—The bine rises rapidly to the top of
the pole, spite of wet and wind. The number of fly at pre-
seat insignificant.
SHORZHAII, JUDO 16.—The hops in this parish are look-
ing well and healthy. The bine grows fast, and we expect
to get • large crop, if all goes well.
ILIUSINO, Ina* 15.—The hops in this neighbourhood are
Isaias rather yellow in some places, in consequence of the
late heavy rains. We want more sun and fine weather,
with warm nights; yet the bine grows fast and free from
wean.
Cm:lmmix°, June 16.—The hops with us are growing
het. We only want fine dry weather, with the sun, and
was nights. The crops are looking well, and we shall
bra • crop of grass, much more than could have been
sere
WOMRST, June 16.—The heavy rains that have fallen
bare completely stopped all kind of cultivation of the hop
pounds, and the bine has been checked in its rapid
growth, and unless we soon have dry weather and warm
nights, we think our Robertsbridge neighbours may soon
alter their figures.
WALDRON, June IG.—The hop pines in this parish and
neighbourhood are in a very growing state, generally top-
Ong the poles ; very few fly to be seen ; some grounds are
looking rather yellow, on account of the incessant rains.
Warm, dry weather is much required.
HARTPISLD, June 16.—Under all eircumstonxes, we are
going on favourably, bine growing fast, and pretty free
from vermin.
Wrrsintais.—The bine is looking well, and growing vi-
gorously, with a few exceptions.
BILIORTLING, June 16.—We have not made much pro-
gram during the put week, owing to the heavy rains and
cold nights, but we have less fly.
TONBRIDOI, June 16.—The bine in this neighbourhood
is still in a thriving condition, and but few fly; we have
heard of a few gardens being lightly injured by the hail on
Monday last.—bussez &press.
