'.The .project' of . Increasing .the duty
on hope brought into the United State
has attracted attention from producers
as, well as dealers for many years.
i Just now the;, fcplo is receiving ull
discussion tor two representatives ofn
hop Interests from 4he Paclflo coast
El. Clement Horst and Herman Klaber
have been before the -ways and means
committee at Washington the past week.
While these representatives were-sent
to Washington by a rew targe grow,

sentatives of a majority' of the 'grow1

Just what good this will do the nop
industry of the Pacific coast is a big.
question among the producers. To
most of them it seems that the princi
pal" trouble with the hop market -fend
Its prices just now is that far too many
hales are grown in the United States.
The production has been increasing
much faster in this country' than have
the; imports in fact., the hop .market
here , is scarcely affected ,- at any time
to any great extent .'hy the Imported
article. ' We import annually Just about
so many bales of hops whether the
price-is ' high or low. ;- -
Tne faut that the United SUtes" an
nually exports 4 a greater number - of
bales than are imported seems vindi
cate to the local grower that we iare
generally -able to hold our own when
it j comes to hops.
It has been the custom of many of
the larger American brewers to utilize
a certain amount of foreign' hops.... in
ordet to get a certain flavor whiclv Am
erican hops are said not to " possess 1
and even when foreign hops were sell
ing at a very heavy advance over-Americans,
on this account- and the duty
was lZo a pound, about the same
amount of imports were shown, s

decreased rapidly within tne ai i
years and the report is now .current
that the Increased duty Is being asked

While President Roosevelt, Secretary
