now be general. In Surrey excessive wet and stormy weather is said 

 to have hindered development, and the yield is uncertain. Some mould 

 is reported. In Sussex hops are reported to be looking well. In 

 Hampshire hops are fairly promising, but suffered a good deal from 

 recent storms. In Worcester hops are generally healthy and well 

 fruited, but small; a good deal of washing has been necessary in some 

 yards. Picking was expected to be general early this month. In 

 Hereford there is little change since August 1st, though the crop has 

 been somewhat checked by cold rains, and the bine has been blown 

 about and bruised. Very little washing was necessary during August. 

 With favourable weather, picking was expected to commence early this 

 month.
