In THE HoP FIELDS. Albany
Herald has the following bit of news
which may be of interest to the hop
growing community: In the vicinity
of Salem several hop growers have
commenced picking, and by the first
of next week hop picking will be in
full blast. In spite of lice there will
be the average crop. One grower
flooded the lice all off the vines with
water and then buried them. This
was done several weeks ago and there
are scarcely any lice to be found on
his vines. Another had Cinnamon to
pull all the leaves off the vines early
in the season. He did this on thirty
acres and they are now ready for pick
ing. He has but few lice. 1t is the
cleanest yard in the country. Where
the lice are, in picking, growers find
considerable mould.
