HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE, June 21.—The hint continues to grow most
luxuriantly, in many instances crowning the tops of the
highest poles, and is, generally speaking, clean and healthy.
The under cultivation is, however, sadly returded by the
wet state of the land rendering it impossible to get upon it,
which, sooner or later, must exercise a most injurious effect
upon the plant, and grave apprehensions are entertained of
the result. _ . _ _ _

Ovit.tm.—The hops continue to look well, and quite free
from vermin, but, should the weather continue wet and
cold, the effect will soon he evident.
Loose.—Our hint is very good, and but very little fly;
but there is considerable naked top of the pole to be seen,
which should be covered by midsummer. No cultivation is
going nn in consequence of the wet, and it mu,t he remem-
bered that without sunshine the bine does not produce hops.
A ;large duty must not bo reckoned on without great
elterati, n in the weather. _ _

BARMINO.—There is no increase of fly, and nothing to
notice in the way of mould. The strong bine now begins
to feel the effect of the extreme wet, the weak bine being
coin,detely at a stand, and will have all its work to do to
reach the top of the poles.
EAST FAILLEDiII.—The bine is strong; we MC clear of
flea and lice, and have very few fly. A few spots of mould
have made their appearance.
YALDING AND \V EST FAILLEIOII.—Our bine in generdly
good ; we have neither insects nor mould; but the weather
is now very ungenial, and, if it continue, still very soon
seriously affect the hops; indeed, the quantity of rain
which has fallen must in most places be injurious.
ATLIIIPOILD.—The bine is looking somewhat yell )w, but
is still in a growing state; we have but little fly, and our
plantations are free from mould.
EAST PECILDAM.—The weather being wet and the nights
cold, the bine is not going on quite so well.
HADLOW —The hops are looking well, but it is feared
the continued rain will injure them.
STAPLEHUKST.—Our hops are fast reaching the tops of
the poles, and are looking healthy, although the continued
wet ts considered against them.
Mannrs.—The bine looks healthy where not injured by
the wet. .

Cuannitook.—The bine has grown considerably during
the week, and we find no increase of vermin; but there is
a yellowness about the pleat which does not betoken a
healthful state of things.
OTFORD.—The bine has not grown so much
this week as last, owing to the wet weather; but them is a
decrease in the quantity of fly.
001:DHORST.—Although the bine is not growing very
rapidly, owing to the unseasonable weather, yet it so
healthy, and all vermin baa disuppearce.
Rot erxnEn.—The bine upon the dry lands is progressing
favourably, but the late wet weather has affected the cold
stiff soils, which ere rather yellowing, but there appears to
be no increase of fly.
SANDHURST.—The bine has made progress during the
past few days, and on the fleet and stiff soils is turning yel-
low, owing to the wet. No increase of fly.
TICAItURST. The hop bins have made considerable
progress during the post week ; some few gardens are look-
ing rather yellow on account of the incessant
stone Journal, of this day.
MALLINO.—The hope still look healthy, in spite of the
uncongenial weather, but the grounds, being too wet to
work upon, are in a very foul state.
WATIMINOBORY, NETTLVATED, AND MENNWORTII —We
never saw the hope grow more freely, look more healthy, or
more free from vermin.
.. .

HOLLINOROVIUM—The bines have not made much pro-
gress since our last. 41 few fly have made their appear-
ance. . . .

CRANDAOOK.—The bine in this parish is leaking strong
and healthy, but we are sadly in want of fine warm weather.
In some gardens wa have heard of a few fly having made
their appearance.
Onuntivuer.—The continual hear, rains, accompanied
with cold nights, does not appear to have retarded the
growth of the bine, but, on the contrary, they are shooting
up the poles with rapidity, the colour looking more uni-
form throughout the parish. With respect to the vermin,
there is evidently no accumulation. There is a very sad
complaint made, not without cause, of the wireworm in the
young plantations this spring, and alio in some plantations
of the first pole.
lotivitsm AND SEAL.—Tha bine still continues to grow
with unabated vigour, nod no fly at present to cause any
Curt u. _ . _

CANTEItIiCRY.—The bine fur the last few days has made
mash pn.gress. The Ily has nearly all disappeared, but
much flea is still to be met with. In some grounds in the
immediate neighbourhood, the wireworm is doing great
havoc. The hail-storm on Tuesday last cut the heads olf
the bind in many instances on the moth side of Canter-
bury. Some grounds show the severe bligt of last year
by a yellowness of colour. A week or twu of hot sunny
weather is much wanted.

IIUItRMILERN.—Thu long continuation of wet weather
will have a had effect on h•,pi, as well as other crops, unless
a change soon takes place.
