Of Reparation of Poles.

IF any of the Poles chance to breake in many peeces when the Hop is growne up, undoe and pull away the same bro∣ken Pole, and tye the top of those Hops to the top of a new pole, then winding it a turne or two about according to the course of the Sunne, set it in the hole, or besides the hole where the broken Pole stood, but some being loth to take so much paines, turne it about the other Poles that stand upon the same hill, and so leave it. But if it be not broken above the middest, the best way is, to set a new Pole or stalke beside the broken pole to the same, which may uphold the said broken pole, and preserve the Hop. If the pole be onely broken at the ne∣ther end, you may shove the said pole againe into the hill, and so leave it.
