Haas Hop company's Golding farm reported. He estimated the total yield would be down 10 to 15 per cent at harvest unless a spell of exceptionally fine weather comes along quickly. Normal yield of hops is about 1,000 to 1,800 pounds per acre. Haas Company has 800 acres under cultivation on its Golding, Fairfield Island and Sumas farms. Harvest usually takes place the latter part of August but will be at least a week late this year, Mr.
