LATE HOP NOTES

A trip through the Independence sec
tion makes it clear that the growing
season for hops has scarcely begun,
Many yards show very little green as
yet though the yards have all been
strung. Some, however, have the vines
well up toward the wires, though these
yards are not numerous. The high
trellised yards do not, of course, show
vine growth as quickly as the low trel'
lessed of the Aurora section do. The
rich lowland yards of Independence 1is,
play more rapid growth than ours
when growth once begins. There is
considerable complaint in the Indepen
dence country concerning missing hills,
There is also repc' ted to be consider
able dissatisfaction among the smallei
growers about Independence who be-
longed to the association over the fail
ure Of the association to dispose Of
their hops, much Of the 1000 bales yet
on hand belonging to the small growers
there. Some are specializing what the
result will be if these hops sell below
The contract price. In that case they
are wondering if those growers who
have already been paid viii have to
refund any part of the money received.
Hop growers quite generally re-
purt the vines held back by the un-
Favorable weatherof the month past.
While the outlook is fair for the pro-
duction Of an average crop, there IS
no doubt that some local yards are
in very backward condition, and
unless the May and June growth is
unusual, some yards will produce a
very Hght crop.
The Waterville New York; Hop
Reporter says: f'The constant de-
mand at present is slowly cleaning
up the few remaining lots, although
there is yet some difference of opin
ion between grower and buyer in rc
gard to price The roots seems tC
have very good start and despite
III losses Of the past season the
growers are anticipating a good croT
this fall There is no demand fol
hop roots and in several cases yards
are being plowed up on that account.
Instead of placing an embargo OF
hops, the English government have
entered into an agreement with
British brewers society by which II
is agreed to reduce the output Of
beer about 30 per cent. This will re
duce the importations Of hops almost
one-third. If this report from Lon
don is true, the export demand fol
hops will not cut so great a figure
/ this season as in the past, and a sharI
reduction in production seems to b'
the only remedy available to the grow
or to prevent ruinous prices for hi
