HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BATTLE.--The bops for this last week have made
rapid progress towards the perfection that is required
of them ; they have done wonders, and in appearance
they intend growing out to a full size, and with
another week of quiet weather we may expect 1.5
cwt. to the acre on the best lands. The new-
planted hop ground has taken well this year in this
district.

EASTHOATHLY.-1 he hops in this district are Pro-
gressing most favourably, with every probability, as
far as present appearances go, of producing a fair
average crop.
FLETCHING.—The hops are very uneven in this
parish, consequently an average can scarcely be cal-
culated on. The wheat and oats are quite an average
crop, and some farmers have quite finished harvest.
A. few wet days would be of great service to the
turnips, &c.
HERSTMONCEUX.—The weather during the past
week having been favourable for the hops, we have to
report that they have improved since our last ; we do
not expect to get a large crop, but we think quite an
average one.
MAYFIELD.—There is a slight improvement in the
hops this last week, but the progress slowly; the
bine that has been least injured by the attack of ver-
min looks full of hop, but they are small, generally.
We shall have nothing like the last year's crop.
NINFIELD.—The hops in this parish, and we may
say in this neighbourhood, still continue to improve ;
they look wed and healthy, and there is every ap-
pearance at present of a fair crop.
ROTHERFIELD.—The hops are growing well,
making the greatest possible improvement in the
best grounds.
RTE.—The hops generally in this neighbourhood
are progressing very favourably, and it is anticipated
that some plantations will produce quite an average
growth. On the other hand, there are some patches
where they will fall very far short unless a surprising
change takes place.
WADIJURST.—The bops continue to progress in
our best plantations, and we may say bid well for a
fair crop ; but still the opinion is, that the duty is let
too light. Since our last report we have had some
rain, and that has done some little good to our blighted
grounds.—Sussex Advertiser.
