What reading level is Hop Cultivation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If water has to he fetched from distances this expense is, of course, increased. Water has heen laid on for the purpose by some planters to convenient places near their hop grounds. Quassia and soft soap solutions are generally made use of for washing, in the proportion of from 4 lb. to 8 lb. of soft soap, and the extract of from 8 lb. to 10 lb. of quassia chips to 100 gallons of water. The soft soap retains the bitter- ness of the quassia upon the bines and leaves, making them unpleasant for t...he aphides, which are thus starved out. Many of the winged as well as the wingless aphides are also washed off in the spraying process, and in the later stages the foulness upon the leaves, caused by the excreta and " honeydew " from the aphides, is removed, renewed health and vigour being given to the plants. But good managers now do not allow the aphides to remain long enough to produce this state. Soft soap, of the quantity required, is dissolved in a large tub of warm water, and the solution is well stirred.
