There are still some fine hop fields in

There are still some fine hop fields in
Oxford County, though very many Of them
have been ploughed up in consequence of
the low price of hops and the poor pros
pect of profit in the business. Perhaps,
however, it is Just the time to go into hop
raising when so many are going out. 1t
is certainly not the best time to 60 into a
business when everybody else is going
into It. 1t is likely to be ovcrdone, as the
hop business has been. But when An or
dinarily profitable business has been over
done and many are going out, it is pretty
sure to come up again in year or two.

whose rule it was to sell Of his cattle or
