HOPS.
We have much pleasure in publishing the following statistics of hop cultivation in the Takaka district, supplied to us by an esteemed correspondent. The writer adds— " Notwithstanding the gardens in this district are only two years old, the plants have been wonderfully productive. The soil on the banks of the rivers is found to be very suitable for its cultivation, being of great depth and of an alluvious formation. I may also mention that Mr James Beilly, "Waitapu, regaled his hop pickers with a really substantial supper, and other amusements. Dancing was kept up with great spirit from music ably discoursed on the violin by the village blacksmith, till ' bright Phoebus awakened the morn,' when the party broke up highly delighted with their entertainment."
