Abstract

"I have heard it claimed that in Yakima Valley it was unnecessary to spray hops--an expensive procedure--as, if the hop-louse exposed himself to the sun in July and August, his goose was cooked. But, later, the hop-grower found that he had to spray or he would have a poor crop. The church people, at least some of them, thought the hop-grower was associating with the devil, but I believe that most of the growers whose grandmother's voice was getting too insistent, quieted her by raising hops for hops-pillows instead of for the manufacture of beer."
