that under her preaching a we'll

The Hop Picking Season.

Utica Herald.
Hop-picking is now fully under way, q
large portion Of the Humphreys being
already harvested; and it is impossible
to get figures that enables one to judge
something about the probable size of the
crop. Some growers began picking the
latter part of this week, others not until
the fore part of this week, while those
who have only late hops to pick are only
Just beginning or will commence
shortly The price paid seems to be
about 50 cents per box for home pickers
who board themselves, and 55 cents for
foreigners, although in one case L heard
of so cents being paid, as it was difficult
to get help. But in general there seems
to be an abundance of pickers, who come
from Utica, Syracuseand all the northern
part of the State, as well as from all the
surrounding country. The picking this
year is Just such as suits those who have
the work to do. The hops are not min
gled with leaves, as they usually are, but
hang out free and unlHcum bered, and
can be stripped from the vine very rapid
". The result is that the boxes fill up
quickly, as the hops do not get a chance
to settle, and this will probably make a
difference in the weight Of hops to the
box. Very few growers have had time
as yet to weigh any hops, but I found
one man who makes a practice Of weigh
ing few sacks each year for the sake Of
comparison. Last season they weighed
from fifty to fifty.tWo pounds. This year
the same sacks full weighed only thirty
four to thirtY-siX pounds. The reasons
for this shrinkage in weight are three
fold. One I have already mentioned; the
picking is done so rapidly that the hops
do not settle in the box, but remain al
most as light as they fall into it. This
rapid picking enables pickers to get over
the ground very fast, and is going to
make the picking season unusually short.
Another reason is that the hops are
nearly seedless, and in that respect will
suit both buyers and brewers this year,
who are always IN search Of "seedless
hops" I examined hops in many yards
and hop houses with special reference
to this point. Often there would be only
one seed in a large-sized hop, seldom
more than two, and never more than
three. In ordinary years there viii be
five or six seeds to the hop, and often
more than that. This makes quite a
difference in the weight of hops, as the
seeds are pretty solid. Some growers say
that the pollen of the male plants was
not plentiful this year, and for this reason
the hops were not fertlllZed. A third
reason why hops are lighter than last
year is that they are ripper when picked
and have not so much mOister in them,
and are almost entirely free from YER
min. These minute creatures were so
exceedingly abundant last year that it is
believed they added materially to the
weight of the crop. And on their &C
count it was necessary to pick the hops
before they were mature. Being soft
and green when picked, they packed
closely together in the box and weighed
heavy when they came OUT Of it.
