Order 10 Prohibit Sale Of Malt
and Hops Has Noi Been Re
ceired b., Ncsr York Agents

New York home brew fans probably
will have at least another day oc
grace. While it has been announced
tnat the Internal Revenue Department
has decided TO prohibit private pur-
chase of malt and hops, no instructions
to that effect Ind been received up to
last night by Frank L. Eoyd, local
Supervisor Of Prohibition Enforce
n'ent. Mr.. Boyd said he would take no
steps to prevent the sale OF either
modify until ordered to do so from
Washirgton.
The prohibition supervisor declared
it would require a staff Of 300 to obtain
evidence in all the cases of violations
reported and that regulation Of the
malt and hop industries viii be no
mean addition to his work. In prevent
ing amateur brewing, if that has been
decided upon, prohibition agents will
not invade private homes. Mr.. Boyd
said, for that has not been the policy
in thc past.
In the opinion Of grain concerns
which deal in malt the reported ruling
Will be hard to enforce, as the form Of
malt most commonly used in brewing
home beer is the syrup, which is sold
in drug stores as a substitute for 9ugar.
An excellent substitute for hops, which
is used only to flavor the beverage. is
Germ, and it is much cheaper, it IS
said.
The representative OF one concern
declared that many people who are
willing TO take the trouble of brewing
at home will, ii pressed, make their
own malt by soaking and then roasting
harley grain. The industry which will
&c harmed most is the 'homc hootck'
