Abstract
IN England when hops are picked by hand the work is assessed in terms of the volume of green hops measured as bushels. The green hops are later kiln-dried to about 9 per cent water content before being pressed into bales and sold by weight. Some growers keep a record of the average number of bushels of green hops required each year to give 1 cwt. of dried hops; this average is called the bushel/cwt. ratio. The ratio may vary from year to year on the same farm and from farm to farm in the same year. This variation has been discussed by Glasscock1, who suggested meteorological conditions at harvesting as one of a number of possible factors concerned.
