Hop Industry
Stands Still

Continued from Page One)
out of the game because of sell
| fish motives alone. He is a buyer
! dealing extensively with London
/ the biggest hop market in the
world, and speaks with authority
when he says he cannot see where
the hop industry has anything 70
offer the prospective grower.
"What is in prospect for the
hop market? l don't know, and
! don't know that there is anyone
who does know" is Mr. Bents re-
ply to querry put to him.
Market UnCtStain
Il can guess at what the future
of the hop industry is and I can
tell you why would advise
men not already in the business
to stay out of it for the present,
at least, but l can't tell you what
the future of the industry in this
part of the world will be. There
are too many factors entering into
the determination of the hop mar
ket over which no one connected
with the industry has any CON
troll.
The recently enacted prohibit
ton amendment to the constltu.
ton and the extent of it's interpret
tation and enforcement are going
to be the. principal factors in de
terminiRg the future of the hop
industry in Mr.. Bents' opinion.
Upon the policy of the federal Of
ficials regarding these two issues
depends whether the industry shall
hold its own, or gradually give
way to more profitable agricul-
tural pursuits, he thinks.
Analizes Situation
Analizing the hop market as It
stands today, MIR, Bents points out
that Pacific coast yards are nor
mally producing approximately
$4,000 bales of hops nnnually~Of
this amount California grows
100000 bales, Oregon 10000 and

been the market for about 100. 900
bales Of these crops each year.
The United S,G,es in it's nqar beer
and home brewing activities has
in the neighborhood Of
10000 bales, leaving around S5.-
zoe bales to furnish the needs on
Canada Japan and the rest of the
world and to protect the users OF
'ons against shortage in case Of
demands.
Market 1T Peak
One hundred and eighty five
thousand bales represents the
total that can be assimilated by
markets for hops, and the
possibility of developing a wider
market is nearly hopeless at this
.ime, Mr.. Bents thinks. With the
prohibition movement spreading
'apidly over the entire world, he
s not optimistic over the possib-
llties of finding or developing
markets for hops where none have
'Nisted i'm the past even under
formal financial conditions. Until
he world has returned to even
airly normal conditions and ex-
'hange rates are stabilized to soma
