calls are apt to be pitched in the key Of
the music. / remember one old chap
who used to fiddle for 80 cents a dance
and sing his calls in a sort of improvised
doggerel to the air he was saving out on
his fiddle. Another would keep up a
running comment in a sort of nasal
monotone which he would interrupt at
the proper moment with the words of
the calling:

In the meantime there would be such
a lively swinging of partners at corners,
such a cutting OF pigeon wings at oppor-
tune moments and such eccentricities
generally on the part of the experts as
greatly delighted all present, but would
fill the breasts of the dancers at a fash
ionable city assemblage with the most
profound dismay.
The hop dances Of today do not greatly
differ from those of other days, though /
have heard of a series that was held In a
mid New York state village in a rink
this year where an earnest attempt was
made to conform to urban ideals in
dancing and etiquette. The result was
interesting. Sometimes dudes from the
towns invade the hop dance and try to
monopolize the attention of all the pref
tiest girls. When that happens, look ont
for storm. II won't do, however, to as
sumo that it is always the dudes who
get the worst of it, although that is usu-
ally the result of a contest between them
and pickers, owing in some measure pos
sibly to the superior numbers of the
pickers. who generally stick by each
other.
With variations the hop pickers of the
east and west and Of merrie, merrie Eng
land are alike. "Goin 'oppin" they call
it In the tight little island, and the ranks
of the "'oppers'' are largely recruited
from London and other cities as they are
from cities here. In the state Of Wash
ington Indians have done most of the
picking till lately, when the Chinese be-
gan to take the places of the redskins.
The hop picking Indians came from
British Columbia and as far north al
southern Alaska, crossing the straits of
Fuca and the gulf of Georgia to get to
the hopfelds.
In their way they fill the hours OF
night with merriment the same as the
white pickers of the east, but when the
Chinese pick hops by day they sleep and
smoke by night. Chinese hop pickera
r not popular a with the owners OF
the yards.
Hop picking is q healthy employment,
and many persons engage in 1t for q
season o. two simply as q recuperative
measure. As manual labor goes 1t pays
well, and there are probably In every
hop raising neighborhood whole families
who earn almost all the money they en-.
pend during the entire ~ months al hop

serted for tho day, and tho sun has set, is
fascinating enough to make it all up.
AT least that is what thousands of hop
pickers think about it.
Clear skies and pure air are essential
to successful hop growing. The hop
must be planted and tended with great
care. From the beginning to the har-
vest and through the kiln to the market
there is no cessation of anxiety. A hop
field just ready for picking is one of the
most beautiful spectacles that can be
found anywhere, the vines greatly ex-
ceeding in grace the vines of the grape.
As the golden wreaths of hops hang
ripening in the warm sunshine or swing
in the breeze in parachute shaped cano-
pies they lend a picturesqueness to the
fields that cannot DO matched in the
vineyards IF either the old or the new
world.
Until Il comparatively recent date
most of the hops grown in North
America were planted in the state of
New York, although there were small
areas devoted to hop culture in New
Jersey, Michigan, Canada and Wiscon-
sin. More lately the Pacific coast has
forged to the front as a hop producing
region, and there are also now many
fields of hops in Nebraska and Kansas.
The hop district in England is circum-
scribed to the 'wealds of Sussex and
Kent" Beyond their employment as
an ingredient of yeast and certain drug
gists' preparations the two or three
hundred millions of pounds of hops that
are yearly produced ON this terrestrial
ball are devoted tono other purpose than
the brewing of beer, and it is whispered
in some quarters that certain substitutes
for hops have been used even by the
brewers.
The ripening of the hops must be fol-
lowed by speedy picking If the crop is to
be saved in good order, and of course
pickers are in great demand at the open
ing of the season. The pickers work in
parties of four, usually at boxes divided
so that each picker shall have a compart-
ment. To them the 'pullers bring the
uprooted vines still twined about the
poles. From the vines the pickers strip the
golden green balls, dropping them into the
NoASo IC1AASLS W IIISpcCt. Inc
inspection is one of the most important
portions of the work, for as the pickers
are paid by the quantity of hops picked
there is naturally a tendency to mingle
leaves and pieces of vine with the pick
ing. Tally is kept of the number Of
boxes filled by each picker. After a box
Is full its contents are sacked" and
taken to the kilns, where they are dried
' for IA hours and subjected to the bleach
ing agency of the fumes of sulphur.
So much for the work. Now for the
play.
In New York state and the east gener-
ally the workers are made up of '.home
pickers" and foreign pickers." To the
former hop picking is a period of hard
work, considered only as such, and en-
dured solely for the money there is in it.
To the foreign picker" who, being away
from home. is privileged to be a little
more dashing in respect of personal con-
duct, hop harvest seems to be primarily
II time of hilarity by night, with the
working hours of the day thrown in as
n necessary excuse for the picker's pres
ence and the support of that individual
during thetimeof enjoyment. >Thearmy
