| The vines is being tried. It consists Of AKA
scantling. erected Is feet high, 80 feet apart
IN rows, with 80 feet between thsrows. Wire
almost as heavy as common telegraph wire is
! then stretched each wsy across the tops of
/ the scsntlirg. The ro@s Of hops are but
feet apart each way, and over each hop row
is stretched smsllsr wires, making complete
network, and very much resembling, when
seen from distance, huge spider web.
| Over each hop hill is SUSPENDED common
balinR rops, up which the hops climb until
they rsaea the wires. very much sitter the
manner in which the good housewife trains q
morning-glory. This experiment ia being
tried on account Of the exceeding high price
OF hop-poles. Thus Ear Il appears to be quite
successful, but some trouble Is liable TO be
experienced ia picking, unless the poles are
taken down, and in that evsnt clearing the
field Of the wire viii be worse than making q
clearing in dense forest.
The hop crop throughout the Sacramento
district pEomises 60 be fully up to the average.
Tho vines are not nearly as far advanced as
at tbs same time year ago. This has been
csnsed by the late cold weather and raiEE,
together with the north winds. Tue recent
waSm weather has had very heneGcial effect

fairly see ein grow" It is estimated that
the acreage this year will reach LOO or l. 500
aatss. while last year there was but little over
7e0 acres. Of the ranches mentioned near
Patterson Station AT out Of the 207 acres have
been put in this year. On the Riverside road
there has been Considerable
INCREASE IN THE ACREAGE,
While there are $50 acres above Washington,
in Yolo, where thers was but small patch
last year. On the Haggin grant thers has
been but slight increase, owing TO growers
