fact remains thet the shortness Of

still persistent; In places quite big
show of lice is seen on the tips of
the plant, whilst other grounds are
fairly free. Washing is being car
ried on with full force generally,
few exceptions being where the in
gathering Of the hay takes labor
from the grounds. Mold has not
made any appearance at present, to

consideration, with a continuance of
the present climatic conditions, a
crop OF good quality should be pro-
duced, but not of large bulk. II
there is a recurrence OF the windy,
cold weather OF June and early July
the crop must be a short one.
Notes.
The Cobleskill Index, July 25th,
says: The rapid Improvement in
progress during the entire month
still continues. The vines present
an unusually healthy appearance,
are branching out we'll and develop
ing rapidly. II the ideal conditions
now present continue, it would not
be surprising TO see crop equaling
that OF last year. HUT has pur-
chased the VIII Brown and Bortel
crops C06's) at 13hc.
The Cooperstown Farmer, July
26th. says: There is no change In
the hop situation. The weather re-
mains very favorable.
The Schoharie Republican, July
.25th, says: Hops have made good
progress again the past week, hot
weather with frequent rains prevail
ing much of the time. Hops are
now in blow and the small hops are
appearing, but not in the quantity
shown last year New York yards
promise a fine quality. twenty-five
per cent less in quantity,
The Morrisville Leader, July 25th'
says: Since the recent heavy rains
hops have made a fine growth. The
vines are arming out WELL the
foliage appears TO be bright and
healthy and there is every indication
for a crop OF good quality, although
the yield may be considerably below
the average.
Mr.. Fitchard, who operates a hop
ranch of about 100 acres near the
Independence river, oregon, was In
Utica the other day and remarked
that the yards there are looking fair
ly good, but the weather this year
has been against the successful cuiti-
walton of the hop vine. The VILLAIN
ette river has overtiowed its banks
and sent the tributary streams up so
that much land has been flooded.
Mr.. Fitchard sells his product 20
brewers and he expects that the
prices will be about the same as last

The New York state crop, IL is re-
ported, will be from Is TO 20 per
