NOPS AND PICKERS.
JOLLY TIMES ON THE GREAT
WESTERN PLANTATIONS.
Methods of Cultivation and Process of
Handling the Crop of Resinous Cones
Drying, Cooling, Pressing and Bal
ing-Fun, Frolic and Industry.

In the fall of every year scores and
hundreds of men and women flock to
the great hop-growing districts of the
United States to fad employment. 1t
Is SO in the East, it is 50 in the West
though the personnel of the hop-pick-
cording to location. In the hop districts
in Central New York, for example,
young men and maidens from nearby
cities, and boys and girls from the
farms seek to earn little extra money
in this way. In the older States the
after picking time at night is devoted
to merry making and practical jokes,
and other devices for driving dull care
away and tightening labor by keeping
up the spirits.
In the West all these things are noted
plus the employment of reservation
Indians. AS hops are picked by the
pound, the earnings of the pickers de-
pend upon their deXterity and industry.
From the countryside, from the cities
and from the mountains come individ-
uals, and families, and groups. They
dwell in matched huts, tents and board
shaeks, and either cook for them
selves, or are boarded at dining shan
ty, where the menu is plentiful and
nourishing, If not modelled after lay
out at Delmonico's or Sherry's.
Roofing the Hops.
To begin at the beginning, hop roots
are planted six feet apart in accurate
rows, making 1,210 to the acre. Every
ten years the old roots are grubbed
out and renewed, though the old ones

Baling Is n simple matter On the
big plantations the presses are run by
horsepower and are located on the
ground floor The hops run into the
presses from shute and the rest Is
done by power machinery.
On small plantations, which are far
more numerous and constitute the typi-
cal hop growing farm, the press is op-
Grated by hand lever which Is at
tached to the side of the press and Ne.
sembles the handle to an old-time town
pump.
The baling process Is the same in
large and small establishments. The
pressed hops present clean, smooth
sides and sharp corners. The burlap
is sewn together except on one side.

The price of hops varies from year to

year. In 1882 the price was 60 cents a
pound. Last year some good crops
sold for 13 cents The latter price gives
very small margin of profit. With re-
gard to the cost of production, hop
grower Is quoted as saying: at isn't
as cheap crop as you may think. The
common estimate of the cost of raising
hops is seven cents; that is to grow.
cultivate, dry, press, and put upon the
market Now | figure the expense as
nearer II cents, which will cover the
cost of land taxes and improvements.
To begin with, the soil must be rich
river bottom land Then comes fenc-
ing, planting, cultivating, buying poles
and twine and putting up the kiln with
its appliances. Poles cost $50 thou
sand, twine So an acre. The vines must
be cultivated as long as horse can
be driven through them. There is no
end to the work from the first plow-
ing in February to the pulling up and
slowing away of the poles for the win
ter 1t needs careful hands to sucker
the hills in spring and start the shoots
up the poles. Give me a digger every
time for this work. An Indian takes

mistake as to the amount he has gath
cred.
After the weighing the baskets or
crates, as the case may be, are piled on
great wagon and conveyed to the
kiln.
The Hop Kiln.
The kiln Is two-story structure, and
on the more pretentious plantations the
drying floor Is heated by furnaces and
pipes which distribute the heat. A
California drying process is thus de-
scribed:
''The drying floor Is model Of util-
ity and convenience. 1t consists of two
movable ears run upon tracks extend
ing out over the cooling-room, and
worked by a windlass. These cars are
forty feet in length, and twenty feet
wide, and each is subdivided into four
sections, which turn on levers. The
floor of the cars Is of Stats covered with
coarse wire mesh, on which the hops
are spread to the depth Of eighteen or
twenty-four inches according to their
ripeness Before rolling them back to
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1901-07-31

will produce fairly well for twelve or
fifteen years.
Set about forty feet apart each way
are poles connected on the top with
heavy wire. Fastened at right angles
across these larger wires are lighter
ones arranged six feet apart in parallel
rows. This arrangement covers the
field like an immense screen.
Sometimes in the fall, but usually in
the early spring, the old vines and up
per roots are cut off, thrown into pile
and burned, and men go through the
field and hill up around the main roots.
Later on, men with step-ladders-in the
smaller fields-or with a high derrick
wagon in the large plantations, go over
the field and fasten strings at regular
intervals of six feet along all the cross
wires, leaving the other ends of the
strings dangling over the little mounds
from which the future hop vine is to
spring. Afterward the lower ends are
fastened to little iron pegs driven near
the hop hills.
In ne sections poles are stuck in
the groand at intervals of six feet each
way, and the hop vines climb up these
poles to height of eight feet or more.
When picking time comes these poles
are pulled up and laid across large
crate into which the hops are stripped.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1901-07-31

But this Is primitive and laborious
method. The wiring method makes the
hops easier to cultivate and handle, and
increases the crop about fifty per cent
to the acre.
On the Pacific coast the vines begin
to come up early In May and are then
started on the strings. Unlike all other
vines, the hop winds spirally from right
to left. If started the other way
they will not stay on the string. Rough,
with hundreds of minute, hook-like ten
drills, the creeper clings to Its support
and keeps growing upward until it gets
a hold on the top wire. Then 1t spreads
out and makes canopy which, viewed
from an elevation, presents beauti-
full picture. 49,
beginning to Blossom.
About the middle of July the hop vine
begins to blossom. During that period

the drying room, the hops are sprinkled
with water to insure a more direct ac-
ton of the sulphur burning below on
the furnaces"
In the State of Washington, how
ever, where the photographs for our
illustrations were taken, the moisture
in the atmosphere gives the hops
beautiful color in bleaching without
this dampening.
During the drying process the hops
are turned over occasionally to prevent
over-heating and procure uniform re-
suits. Hops cured at a low tempera-
ture are regarded as best for strength
and quality.
From the kiln the silky cones are
taken to the cooling-room, which Is on
the lower floor. Entrance to the dry
ing room is effected by ascending the
outside runway to the platform shown
in the illustration. Descent into the
cooling-room is accomplished by open
ing trap and allowing the cones to go
down O shute to the floor below. Here
they are banked up on either side of
the room by men armed with immense
scoop shovels for the purpose. The
curing process occupies time, and u.s.
ually continues through the picking
season. In curing the hops lose their
brittleness and absorb moisture until
they are tough enough to withstand
serious breakage In baling. At this
stage the cones are oily and eXude
resinous substance, which is very
pleasant In odor, but which makes
handling very unpleasant. Care Is ex-
erclsed in handling the cones, as ap-
pearance goes a great way with the
buyer, and broken hops bring a lower
price In market
