HOP INTELLIGENCE.

Edcnbridgc, Oct. 11—Hop-picking is brought No
a close. The hops kept their colour, and came
down exceedingly well. The growth generally is
over the e3timate, of good quality, and will be
about 12 cwt. per acre.

Frant, Oct. 11.—The hop-picking is now brought
to a close, and the samples, both for colour and
quality, are above the average of years. The
average growth is about 13 cwt. per acre.
Goodhurst, Oct. 11.--Pkking is now completed,
and speaking generally, the hops maintained their
colour well. About I'2 or 13 cwt. the acre is at
present thought to be the average here.
Northiam, Oct. 11.—The correct average of our
growth of hops 151 cwt. per acre of 1200 hills.
Udimore, Oct. 11.—In some plantations the yield
will be over a ton to the acre, and in some grounds
much less. Taking the whole parish, it is probable
that about 18 cwt. to the acre will be about the
average.
Halstead, Oct •11.—The growth of this parish
and vicinity is about half a ton per acre, and th.
quality is very good.
udham and Chelsfield, Oct. 11.—The quantity
is not equal to last year's; but the quality is on the
whole better.
Shoreham Oct. 11.—This parish will not
average 10 cwt. to the acre. The quality is good.
Ifawkhurst, Oct. 11.—As near as we can judge,
the average is about 15 cwt. to the acre.

weighed in our parish, and the average is 15 cwt.
per acre.—Madstone Journal.
