The HOP MARIETTA great many of our
people who are engaged in the raising of hops
in Sacramento county were made rich by
their crops last year. Twice the acreage was
put in last spring, and the hop crop this year
is fully twice as great as that of any former
year. The following are the latest New York
quotations for the crop of 1888: New Yorks,
choice, 23@26c; do medium. 19@21c; do
low, l5@17c; Eastern, 20@22c; Pacific
coast, 20@25c. In speaking of California
hops, Emmett Wells Weekly Hop Circular
says Pacific coast hops continue to arrive
here in large quantities, and meet with fair
demand from brewers and exporters, choice
lots bringing as much as the best New York
hops The prejudice against the use of the
former, which at one time prevailed on &C.
couLt of the alleged lack of strength, as com.
pared with best New York State hops, is dis
appearing, and if the growers on the Pacific
coast continue to improve on quality as OF
late years, the time will soon arrive when the
hops grown there will be looked upon with
much favor as our State product Already
they are exemplifying excessive care in pick
ing, which is feather in their caps and it
behooves our State growers to look oat for
their laurels if they wish to retain the pres
tige formerly held Another advantage the
Pacific coast growers have is the almost entire
immunity from the many pests which unfor
tunately stfiict the plant here in the East
such as vermin, rust and mold-climatic in.
huences being possibly in their favor for
continuation of what to some may appear to
be phenomenal, while they have the double
advantage Of gathering the crop the same
year as planted"
