ABUNDANCE OF HOP VINES.
Banks Of Streams Are Loaded with,
Them.

Pierre. s. D., Sept. 12.-The wild hop
vines along the streams in the central and
western part of the state are this year
bearing prolfcaiiy, Il to those who have
investigated these vines 1t is believed that
the state has in them a source of wealth
and profit to the men who will devote their
attention to their raising. The fact that
they grow wild and bear ~abundantly with
out any care whatever is an indication
that the country is suited to their culture.
Every stream in this section of the state
shows a growth Of hops, many Of the
smaller streams being lined with them.
So much interest is being taken in the
matter that the quality of the hops will
likely be tested. and IL they prove all right
the culture will be looked into.
Vines growing wild have lately been
picked In the vicinity of this city, which
are as well loaded with hops as any cul-
tivated vim would be. The wild hops are
smaller than the cultivated varieties, but
the probabilities are that they could be
improved in this by proper care ana at
tention.
