A Interrstlns; Letter Hop fpltar H litre to 1-Unt-!KU and CiilU- Tatlon-Cuthrring, 14c. Buena Vista, March 22, 1880. Epitor Willamette Farmer: I notice in the Farmer of March 19th you request some one to write on hop culture. Having had four years ex iierience in this branch of agriculture I-britfly-givB my views and will say if I omit any of the imjurtant tiointa anyone may correspond with me, or ask questions through the Farmer and I shall gladly answer as far as tny in- .formation goes. (The request came n the shape of an intimation from a Jackson county pajier the "Sentinel" that hops could grow well there and an article in the Farmer could furnish information.) SOIL AND CLIMATE. Any soil that is dry, notwetenough for the water to stand on the roots during Winter, and is rich enough to raise good corn or potatoes, and that has a deep soil where the clay is not near the top of the ground, is good soil for hops, some think sandy Soil alotifi tit for hops; this is a miV-aken idea. Rich sandy soil, true, ia good, but where the soil is of a black loam, not too wet, it is in my opinion better. Where the vine maple are along our creek and river bottoms, after they are cleared up, make the very host of hop yards. Po not think that hops will do well in our worn out fields that are so impoverished and foul that they are not fit to raise wheat on, this is a mis taken idea; land cannot be too r;cb fgr hops, and the more good manure thrown about the roots in the Fall the more hops will be raised. In short, any good, rich clean land where it is two feet or more to the clay, is good soil for hops. As to climate, any place utini-a el,a fen.tfl rin finr felt e..lir in tUFnll aafrmr. onJ.on. aftor their a 1 "in sar 1 jLrJiiiineir-.iirut j bloom until gwered, are very detn mental to the quality and quantity of hops raised. They blossom about the flrht of July and Are gathered about the first of September. Frost in the Spring, or before they blossom, does not injure the vines. Do not plant on a hill or any place that is not sheltered from tbe wind, as the wind blowing hard will break many of the tender vines, when running up the poles also injures the quality of the hops while ripening, by blowing the polen or yel low dust out of the hops, which alone give strength to the hop; yef, the yard must not be so sheltered by timber as to shade the vine3 while growing. PLANTING THE ROOTS. After getting vour uround plowed deep, thoroughly pulverized, lay it off so that tha hill will be eight feet apart each way; this will make about seven hundred and fifty hills per acre; then place two sets in a bill, about six or eight inches apart, cover about four inches deep. I do not know as it makes any difference whether they are planted in the Fall or Spring, if in the Surine they should be planted in Feb ruary or .March; April win do, out Uipv will not, if planted late in the Spring, make so good a growth the first vear. A hop plant suoujcl nave two sets of eyes, nd large and thrifty looking sets grow much the best. Some advocate the idea of setting out very small sets, but the large ones are pinch more apt to live, and tho vines when ibvy .come through the ground, will be as large again as from the small sets. Set can now be bought in this vicinity at five dollars per thousand, boxed and placed on board the boat or cars, and can be packed so as to bear ahippjng for hundreds of miles. As to tariety, my experience, has been with tbe Grape Cluster and the Brewers fa vorite, both good varieties and but lit tle difference in yield. POLLING AND CULTIVATING. When your vines are ten or twelve inches long it is then time to train them, hutJtiret I say, the jwles should be set befcre the vines are through the ground, else vines will be bruised or broken in making the holes and sct tinr the Holes. A pole should le from inn to fourteen feet long, not longer than fourteen feet, It tna poles are too long the vines will go too much to stem and not enough to top. There must be a hpavy cluster of vines at the top to insure a good yield. A jiolo nhould lie from one and a half to two inches in diameter at the large end and of haJi an inch ,to aji inch at the .mll end. and free of .knots. Two uoles at each lull should be set in the ground a foot apart and from fourteen to .sixteen inches deep; these lo es a 4 made .with what we call a spud, which is -a large bar of iron about the sizo of aEowbar, and should be swelled at about one foot from the lower end to the tmcKnes 01 , . - " V five hundred InTs per day. Tfte vtnci must be trained on warm days as thpr ire then tough, while of a cold day ni curly in the morning they are very li tide, to break.- being very tender. Wrap tho vines very carefully around the pole two or three times, turning them to the right or with tho sun as they will not go up the poles to the left. After they aro. wrapped nrpund t)ie pojes tie them with a coarse string, or a yarn string, as twine will cut the vine; ravelings from an old coarM! guntty sack is best. Do not tie tlje knqt snjith only a half knot, so that the vine fpay loosen the string as it grows. "Vork tiicm well; keep free from weeds; plow their! deep with a shot el plow; do not ridge up the ground with a turning plow, but after plowing barrow the ground and then clod-mash it and keep your ground level; and it will hold moisture much better. Work them often and well while they are young, as you will have to quit working by the tirst Df July, as tha vines will then reach across from one row to another, and form a complete cluster .so as to ob struct passipg with horse and plow. D.o not allow more than two vines to tjrow up one pole; trim all suckers off the vines as high up as five feet from the ground; break off all the vines from the hills except the ones you. train up the lioles, fACrflNO. AND CURING. When the seeds of the hop arc in tha dough the hops ahould be picked imme diately, and should not be left on tha vines until the seeds arc hard, rise tho hops will begin to spot, this injures sale. When you go to pick, cut VQJir vines off twelve or fourteen inches from tho ground, not at the ground clso you injure them. Pull up the poles, giving the cluster part to the pickers over their box. A box will contain" seven bushels, will hold green hops enough to make ten pounds of drjed hops, and will cost from thirty to tlurty-fivo cents per box to get them picked. The hops must be free of Htems and leaves to be saleable. I use wool sacks to haul my hops in from the yard to the dry house; & sack wil) hold two boxes of green hops. If you have ten acres of hops you should have at least twenty fivo pickers. Do not I luAtrA trT4at nsm. in -.m,,. Bob. anrAfy . " ' . 'T. U,"'V yuH tiM Iq THI DRY ;iop3g, Eli" they will sweat and heat, ami when dried will be a black ugly color, which will ruin sale. I will not now describe a dry house or a presi as there are many of them throughout the country, but ill do so hereafter if requested. The average yield of hops is about fifteen hundred poinds per acre, though they frequently yield over a ton per acre. The price this year was from 25c to 30c pr pound. Some who held latrr realized more than thirty cents. Yards seldom bear much tho first rear; some do not even pole them the first year; I think best to pob them the first year, and if properly cultivated they ill ytd three or four hundred pounds per acre. GRUBBING nor HILLS In November or December, after tho sap has gone down in tha tine stubs, take a potatne fork as a deer tongue hoe, and dig down into the hills to the depth of one foot; loosen up the ground thoroughly; cut off all the runners in the hill; be careful not to cut th4 ground roots, they grow underneath the runnera and have no eyes, while runners haw ryes, do not break the runners off the crown head or large root at the top of the ground) as that' will have a tendency to kill your hill, "once fi hop yard always a hop yard," at) we have accounts of yards fifty years old that aro as good as eer, without resetting. After cutting off the runners gather them up and keep them dry and warm enough not to freeze in the Winter, but do not put them .where they dry out too much, so as to kill them I .usually bury thutu about the sarao as potatoes) until you have orders to sell them, or wish to use them. Be careful not to gut your male roots mixed up with your barwjg bop sets. They should be xept wj.t- ate so as to tie separate nnen ust u to plant. And right hore I will speu': i planting the malo hop sets; ui evtiry eighth row, and in every eighth hill vi that row there Khould be a hill ol male hops. Hops do but little good Waring -without both gondcrn.. Tht males do not aear fit coiu'hti. As I said before I will not drscribe a hep house or the drying and iaiiag process only lo say that a kill for lining Rhoulrl be 20x20 feet, slats for a floor eight feet above the furnace and should he one inch upart, covered over with house lining; the hops are spread ou the lining to a depth of from six to ten inches, (though not best too dei'p) and are dried in from eight to ten hours. Thermometer should stand fioni 120 to 160 degrees; the hops, when dry, should be of a yellow caut, nd .bhoulJ bo'dried until nearly Ii of tho hops will readily break in two and the hi- ide stem not tough. After being lri"l they Rhould le placed off in a bin until rainy or damp weather, when, they will be sufficiently fn case to press without breaking up. As we receive a good many letters of inquiry I atn glad for an opportunity to give my view.3. yours, 8 f. WLL8,
