warns: Dealers who are handling
hops have realized lor some time
that the quality of the crop in
coming season must be better
than that of last year if the
growers are to avoid trouble.
Complaints from receivers of
1920 hops were numerous and a
repetition of such deliveries, the
consumers say, will result in the
rejection of the hops, whether
they are contracted for at a high
or a low price. A large portion
of the coming crop has been sold
for delivery in England and the
buyers on that side have issued a j
fair warning that they will not i
accept hops that are badly
