A. p. Cohn, OF Fairhaven thus de-
scribes a new kind of hop pole he saw
at Sacramento: at displaces the
old-fashioned pole altogether and is a
great success. The new way of train
ing hops is to set up poles the same as
you would telegraph pole, and about
the same distance apart. A wire is
then stretched along the tops and to
this wire are fastened small cords or
twine which reach the ground, at the
proper distance, and are fastened to
the earth by pegs. The invention is
patented and is somewhat expensive
at first, but am told it pays many
times over in the long run and it is
growing rapidly in favor in the hop
districts of California"
