NEW ZEALAND'S HOP INDUSTRY. PROHIBITION WOULD CRIPPLE HUNDREDS OF FARMS. The severe hardship that would be caused among those engaged in the hop-growing industry in the event of prohibition being carried, was pointed out by the chairman of the Nelson Hop Growers’ Co-operative Association at their recent annual meeting :—- “There are over 200 hop-growers m the district,” he said, “and -if this industry was lost through prohibition hmng enforced, we do not {know wins/w| could produce on our Jfaiam? to^ifoJthe same return ;md ifc?me. Jojjiejjhxjll giLti omen, that we rrop-growws Hying a period of five to six wejks nave, paid annually during the mist six years £14,500, and most of Ehis money has been distributed amongst women and girls. This one item alone would lie a serious loss in our particular district, find I am sure would be felt by not only the pickers but by every storekeeper. “You are all well aware picking is not the only item of expense in raising the hop crop. Labor has to be found for numbers to attend to the drying, baling, tilling the ground, cutting and stringing the vine, etc., and I do not hesitate in stating that the cost of this, added to the cost of picking, would total in round figures to anything from £35,C00 to 1 ' £40,000 per annum.” No less than £250,000 is paid annually to barley and -hop-growers m New- Zealand, aifording a living to hundreds of families. Prohibition as it would he enacted permits of no compensation whatever to anyone deprived of a living. I This is one of the many reasons why a big Continuance vote is anticipated.*** ■
