tered the heads Of our farmers, and 1t has
been left to the enterprise Of gentlemen Of
means from other States to essay the expert
ment upon our soil The proprietors Of the
Coclsade Brewery Of this city, having over
come most successfully the long established
superstition that this latitude is not adapted +
to the manufacture of first class malt liquors,
have, within the last year, demonstrated the
fact that hops, the great essential for the
manufacture Of ale and beer may be grown /
to the highest state Of perfection here, with
thesame facilities as elsewhere on the habita-
BILE globe In testimony Of their success.
they will ship by tuesday steamer for New
York three bales Of new hops, the first ever
produced in the South for market
This we look upon as a now era in i'm
proved agriculture for this State. 1t is
generalY. understood that the hop fields of
Germany England, and those in America,
situated in New York, have become hop
sick from continued cultivation and arc
infested VITA vermin, blights, mildews, and
the like to such anextent, as to render their
continued production there Improbable
Upon lie Introduction of brewery at
this extreme point in the South (for brew
ing) Messrs. Newb berry & Ranlston planted
a small experimental bop garden, and the
present season the first crop IS grown which
has ever been grown in the South. The
yield on the half acre set IS $50 lbs. on
ordinary ground, with short and Inferior
poles The quality is The very best and no
bhghted, rusty, mouldy, or vermin eaten
hop existed in the lot at the critical time
OF passing from tho burr to the hop the
thermometer ranged from 80 to 90 degrees in
the shade, yet there was no delay in the
process and no blight
The cost of setting and policing this half
acre including roots. has been as follows ;
For roots, SIS so; laying off land and set
ting, s. cedar poles, S2l sharpening the
same, So 30 Total SIC The labor to time
of picking is about the same as corn, proba-
bly, IS, and the picking, drying and pressing
cost two cents per h. or 50, making the
total cost of the first crop of S63, of which
gao IS permanent Investment, and lasts
from eight to ten years The production
this year, at present market rates, 90 cents
per lb.) yields 1915.
Tho $50 lbs. to be sent by Messrs New
berry q Rauiston viii be sold at 81 per lb,
they being the first in the market, by abouta
month, and much competition existing among
the enterprising brewers in New York to
get out ale first from new hops
This experiment is a complete success, and
if farmers viii profit by it, they may enrich
themselves without the tedious and ex-
pensive system Of cultivating large tracts Of
land. Gen. Newberry was large hop
grower in New York, and win gladly give
any Information in his power to any one
wishing TO engage in the cultivation of this
profitable produce -Peters5u1g Express
