An exchange says that a folded news
paper placed under the coat in the small of

Abilene wants the state capital moved

HOPS.

While in New Yosk aud England the
farmers are lowing up hops aud re-
ducing their acreage. here the note of
preparation is heard for planting more
and no one thinks Of destroying q
yard. This is easily accounted for by
the fact that. while the New York and
English growers in many cases have
met with frightful losses, and but few
have made money. here but few have
actually met with loss, while many
have made some gain. We have re-
ce:ved a number of inquiries about
how to plant, how far apart te set the
hills, how many roots to the hill, what
kind of roots is best. when to plant
in fact, questions enough, to properly
answer fully. would require the writ
ing a book, bat short answers must
suffice.
lst. Prepare the ground thoroughly
before planting; plow it deep. II you
want . crop the first year. We h We
raised nearly = ton to the acre. plant
ing in March and harvest g in Octo-
Der OF the same year. We plowed a
deep furrow. then run nther pillow in
that way down deep, in one in
stance subsoiler in the bottom Of the
second furrow. Sod ground is the best
of all for hops when the sod is turned
under deep as indicated.
"a. II the land is strong. plant seven
feet apart each way. We have. how
ever, adopted the standard OF 1000
hills to the acre, six and q hall feet
apart each way.
80. II planting with reference TO .
partial crop the FIRST year, would say
five to the hill and plant in double hills
eighteen inches apart, setting the pole
between them the first year and plow-
| ing out half OF them when the first
crop is harvested; otherwise, If plant
ing solely to secure stand, then two
roots to the hill. We generally com.
| prom Sc on three roots to o single hill,
train all the vines that will grow. and
are content with a hall crop the first
year.
9Th. There seems to be general i'm
preston that I" crown roots" so called
are best. This is mistake. Not that
good results cannot be obtained from
good crown roots. but that good run.
ners are as good and can be obtained
of a more uniform quality. Take ths
runners and cut them - six or eight
inches in length, and II well matured
properly kept and decently planted, nc
fear bat there will be q crop. Wher
di ging the cuttings, care should b
taken not to store them in . largs
bulk or be exposed long 70 the sun o.
air. The proper way is TO keep them
covered in thin layers of eart...
5,h. The time TO plant is when you
ground is in order and the roots ar
ready. Ordinarily the roots cannot b
obtained before March the grouu'
prepared before April. The earlier
hop yard is plan ed, the more likely .
re, crop the first year, provided al
ways that il is well DONE. e., that th
ground is in order, the hop roots 600
and the planting carefully done. W
