Hop Growing,


There are those who desire TO know
how hops are cultivated, and the plan
in England is to select good rich soil
and pillow il deep, at the same time ma
nuring well and heavily. Good drainage
Is also necessary, and every precaution
is taken TO afford the most favorable
conditions for maturing the crop Cut
tings or shoots of any approved sort
which have been reared in nursery are
planted in rows six feet apart, and the
hills should also be that distance apart in
the rows. From two to three plants are
allowed to each hill, and they are sepa-
rateIy staminate and pistillale, one male
plant being planted for every fifty Of
the others. No crop is expected the first
year, but a hoed crop of some sort may
be grown during that time between the
hills Of hops, the cultivation and manur-
ing Tor which is considered beneficial
Each hill has short pole, which is
E fixed before Summer, to which the
young vine is fastened and trained
Early in Spring the ground is again Gull
tiyated, both the cultivatOr and hoe be-
ing used. and the hills are finally
earthened mp in June In this country
the distance between rows varies from
six to eight feet, and some growers use
two poles instead Of one, the poles being
from twelve TO eighteen feet in hight.
Seven feet apart each way is also n
favorite distance, which gives 900 hills
to the acre. and allows a fewer vines 10
the hills. Plenty Of sunlight and free
circulation Of air are beneficial TO the
vines, and manure may be added at any
stage Of growth, owing to the plant be-
ing grass feeder.
As to the quantity Of hops usually
produced no exact estimate can be
made, as everything depends on the at
tention given by the grower in cultivat-
ing. The use Of manure and the qualify
of the soil are also important. but first
IN the management is the judicious use
OF the pillow, cutivator and the hoe, TO
say nothing of setting, tying and train
ing the vines From four to six pounds
have been gathered from each hill on
good locations, and it is not expecting
too much to claim one ton of hops for
every acre cultivated, though much less
is often obtained. The crop, which is
always hand-picked, affords employ
ment to large numberof hands during
the picking season, the prices paid
ranging according to location. The
New York hop district last year pro.
duced 100000 pounds of hops, and
the cost of production was from 10 to Il
cents per pound, including all expenses
of wages, interest, use of land etc, and
the average price obtained was 60 cents,
although some lots sold for 81. The
crops are always quickly salable, and
the demand for crops increase annually.
