Hop Growing i'm England.

FROM the London Times.
1t is computed that 90, 600 acres of land
in this country are cultivated for the growth
of hops, and that q gradual increase Is
annually made. Up TO the year 1855 there
was an aggregate of 57,757 acres of hop
land, and sum of 1888 was paid as
old duty on the hops gathered and cured
that season; but in the next four years a
considerable extent of hop gardens was
grubbed up, and in 1859 duty on 43, 729
acres, amounting to f32S, 070, was paid to
the Inland Revenue, and hop grounds were
diminished 14,028 acres On the total
abolition of the hop duty, an impost which
for many years had been great source of
grievance to the hop growers, the gardens
were again increased, and have now at
tanned the largest extent. Kent is the
most extensive hop county in England,
and hops from 80, 900 acres were gathered
and cured this season, and the early
grounds averaged yield of IA cwt to 16
cwt. an acre. Sussex is an important hop
growing district, and cultivated IA, 500
acres, and produced yield from Is cwt.
to % cwt. an acre; but the crops were ma
terially damaged by the gales in Septem-
Der, and many growths were impeIfectly
cured. Berks and Hants comprise hop
districts to an extent of $500 acres, and
yield of Il cwt to Is cwt. was gathered.
Herefordshire comprises 5000 and Wor-
cestershire $500 acres, and produced early
crops of hops and of good qualities, and Is
cwt. to Is cwt an acre was gathered. Sur
rey is productive of a choice quality of
hops and celebrated for their bright color
and superior aroma and other properties
essential for brewing pale and bitter beer;
Farnham is the chief district, LOO acres
are cultivated, and from IA cwt. to 16 cwt
an acre was the average gathered and cured
this season. The other counties contribute
$500 acres of hops. The free importation
of foreign hops to this country and the
large Continental growths this season have
decreased the value of home grown hops
