THE NELSON HOP CROP.
The Nelson hop crop is thus spoken of in the Colonist:—■ “We have much pleasure in publishing the following statistics of the 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 alluvial formation. I may also mention that Mr. James Reily, Waitapu, regaled his hop-pickers with a really substantial supper and other amusements.’ Mr. JamesSpittal, Lower Anatoki, 24 acres, 4,4801 b.; Mr. James Bridger, Takaka River Ij acres, 3,5511 b.: Mr. James Reilly, Waitapu, 2 acres, 4,4801b5.; Mr. Francis Y.
