resentative recently had 0 long convefsa-
ton with r. J. Mackison regarding hops,
and from him ELECTED much information.
Mr.. Mackison has given hesubject much
study, and, although not as long In the
business Of grower a some, he is proba-
bly, as well informed as any. In the
courseof the conversation be said: "Com-
mercially speaking, there are Ave grades
Of hops, known as fancy, strictly choice,
choice, medium and low grade. The de-
fects are of color, bad picking, broken in
handling, high temperature in drying,
picking before maturity, blight, mould
and rust. The last three defects we are
not troubled with as yet, nor do l think
we ever will be, but l am sorry to say
that one or another Of the other defects
mentioned will be found in most Of the
Yakima hops; but 1t lays in our power
10 remedy all Of them. This can be done
by giving more attention to the picking;
discarding tramping balers not picking
until the hops are ripe; rebuilding our
kilns and making them higher, tighter
and with more pitch to the roof, 80 that
the hops can be dried at q lower tempera-
ture; and the use Of more sulphur in our
drying. First-class hops require first
class appliances In curing and baling, and
they can not be expected. with the poor
kilns at present in use, nor can we expect
o fancy price without having product Of
fancy grade. The time is not far distant
when growers will be paid for their hops
according to the grade put on the market,
although 1t would be better for the pro-
ducer and the country II we would mar
ket none but q fancy hop, for then We
would acquire reputation which would
induce more competition among buyers
and admit Of Yakima hops selling first in
q dull year. Make buyers seek rs instead
Of our having TO seek the buyers, for Q
home market and cash market are two
points that this section sadly needs, and
we can have both II we produce the right
grade Of hops"
