of any in the world, last year produc
ed about 2t,ti)0,iiiio pounds of hops,
which sold for approximately :,ot)0,

"In the harvesting of hoos CaliW.
nla has made the greatest advance in
that it has developed the hop-picking
'machine, which la now used on many
of the large hop ranches not only lu
'California but In other parts of the,
world. ,
j "When hops ure picked the vinos
ure cut from the trellis and hauled In
.wagons to the hop-picking machlae.
where they uro fed into machines tit
the rate of about 13,000 vines per tun
hour day which means the picking of
.loom dmuu pounds of undrled hops
'jper day. The labor saving by the nia
chlne figures roughly about 10 per
jceiu of what w6uld be required to do
(the work less successfully by hand,
j "Arter the hops ure picked they are '
'laid on the kiln floors or drying floors
jwlirre they are kept frem twelve to
lwenty.fonr hours for drying. They
Jure then moved Into cooling houses,
(where they are kept for" one or two
weeks' time, and put into bales weigh
,lng 200 pounds each. For export bus
iness these bales ure very rrcquently
.recompressed Into bules of one-half
to one-third their original sle. This
rccompresslng l.&l only heUcr preserv.
