Moro than a dozen times a wook I am
asked : "How many hop roots to plant
on an aero?" and "Do you think it will
pay to plant hops now?" To tho lottor
question, if your soil and location aro
suited, and you go in with means and
determination to stay, I would answer
"Yes," but if ono or both, or all thrco of
thoso conditions, aro absent, then of
course, "No." Hop growing in Wash
ington torritory is yet in its infancy,
and many will doubtless fail or loso
monoy on their ventures.
I would say that fivo thousand hop
roots should bo planted to tho aero ; that
is it yon want nearly a full crop tho
first year. Wo now practico planting a
doublo hill, so to spoak, and afterwards
destroy ono half of it with tho plow ;
that is, wo plant two roots on ono sldo of
tho polo, and thrco about twolvo inches
distanco on tho opposite side If tho
land is good and well prepared, largo
ropta .planted and properly cultivated,
no fear but that you can harvest four
teen hundred pounds per acre, planting
in March or April and harvesting last
week in September of samo year. I
Have, in exceptional cases, harvested
over a ton per aero tho first year, under
conditions described. Soattlo Post-In-telligonccr.
