CROP NEARLY
ALL USED
-
LOCALLY
Consumption During Last 8
Years increased Steadily:
Britain Nearest Runner-up

Despite the theoretical absence
of real beer in this country,
Uncle Sam is still the greatest
producer of hops in the world,
according to an analysis Of this
industry announced today by
Felix r. Pope. Of the foodstuffs
division of the Commerce Depart
ment.
Prohibition Director Amos w.
w. Woodcock, who through
studies and research is attempt
ing to determine just what volume
of spirits and beer is consumed
annually. mentioned the produc-
ton of hops as one factor that
would figure in the desired data.
Steady Increase
Pope said:
''FOr many years prior to
1915 the United States was the
largest grower Of hops in the
world
"The 1915 production was
about 53,O0O,OOO pounds, or
nearly 30 per cent of the world
production. Beginning with
1917 production declined
sharply, reaching the low point
Of less than 100000 pounds
i'm 1923.
"But since the latter year
there has been q steady in
crease, the 1929 crop having
been 33,22O,OOO pounds. The
United States, with the possible
exception Of Great Britain Is
again the largest hop producer
in the world"
Consumed in u. S.
During some years since 191t
the British crop has exceeded
that of the United States, but
during the past three years
America has been ahead, accord
ing to Pope.
Prior to 1918, Notwithstanding
the large production, about four
! fifths of the total crops was con
sumed locally, and frequently i'm
ports were as great as exports
Domestic consumption, however
declined in 1918 to d mere fraction
of what it had been and growers
were forced to turn to foreign
markets. In 1925 exports amount
ed to 25.0O0,00O pounds. Pape
explained: rs
| "FOr the past three years
there has been a steady in
crease in local consumption,
reaching a total of 26, 6,3O8, ,OO0
pounds in 1929, or nearly IS
percent of the figure of 1915.
with this increased local
consumption exports have de
clined steadily, to less than
100000 pounds in 1922
Imports are far under the pre-
war figures, although slight in
creases were shown in 1923 and
