"The usual crowd of, hop- pickers from, London refuse to leave their homes, and tell us they prefer to stand by-them while the bombs are falling," Mrs. E. K. Coombs, organising secretary of the W.L.A., Worce. ster, told a reporter. "They say that where there is danger they all prefer to be together.

"They could have peace and quiet out here and be away from the raids. The comps are all ready for them in the hop fields nad orchards, but they won't leave their little 'castles' in London,

"Our girls have just finished the harvest and now many of them are going straight on to hop-picking."

Mr. E. Griffiths, of Wint Hill Farm, Suckley, Worcs., who has a machine with 90,000 pieces that picks two-thirds of a cwt. of hops per hour, said: "It is practicauy impossible to get the old hands to- day.

"They prefer to remain in the danger zones making shells, and I have had to employ girls of the W.L.A. They have had no ex perience of hop-picking, but am more than satisfied with them."
