Excerpt from Hop Culture in the United States: Being a Practical Treatise on Hop Growing in Washington Territory, From the Cutting to the BaleThe high value of hops prevailing for the past four years, culminating in the unprecedented price of one dollar per pound for the crop of 1882, has naturally attracted a wide-spread interest. An article that can be produced in large quantities, and sold for nearly ten-fold its cost, engenders a speculative feeling akin to that of a veritable gold-mining furore of the palmy days of '49, when the discovery of gold in California was first made known to the multitude. Then, as now, the few amassed fortunes, this was speedily followed by the sore disappointment of the many who rushed into the mines unprepared and inexperienced. Such results, it is feared, may follow those who attempt to engage in hop culture, without knowledge or means, or both, and without first thoroughly investigating the new business proposed.That hop-growing in the United States is profitable, if conducted with intelligence and care, none can doubt. We have abundant proof of the fact by the success of those who through a series of years have stuck to the business through thick and thin, always producing a good article and prudently placing it upon the market. That it will pay in the future, taking a series of years, is patent to every observing mind, but to those only who will move up to the head of the list, and produce the best quality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
