The hop crop appeals very Btrongly to farmers who have been in the hab itat growing it. and the acreage lias varied uite materially with ' the" periods of good and poor "prices.

Statistics bplow also quoted from Foreign Crops and Markets on the British bop situation show many. Interesting things including imports and British prices to users as compared with ours to growers. . The . British Hop Situation The probable British demand for foreign hops during the coming year and for the next few-years to come,' is a question of no small interest to American hop growers. who market the bulk of their crop in the United Kingdom. The British hop: control in effect dur ing the wfir and post-war years. has -recently expired, and a duty bf (our" pounds sterling per hund red weight (about 17c per pound at exchange prevailing or October 'tf.trasTteen" Imposed upoa im ports of hops from foreign coun tries. Whether this duty will en tirely shut out foreign "hops dur ing future years, is as yet impos sible to determine, but present In lications are. that.tbe United King dom will continue to import Amer ican hops during the coaming year, although possibly in small quan tities, and there are some reasons I to belieye that-the, British market I will continue to be considerably I dependent upon foreign countries I for future supplies of hops. I The new season starts off with I large supplies of both domestic I and imported hops in the hands I of bewers and the hop trade. E I A. Foley, Agricultural Com mi s- J sioner of London, states -that the J surplus of English hops on Sep- I tember vS8. aside from the crop Just harvested has .been estimated at about 29,000,000 pounds;' The current English crop is estimated at 39,760,000 pounds dr more and the quality, according to all re ports, is excellent," one ot the f ln- I est evet-igatBered In Eoglgnd Itfon to the supplies of foreign I hops. The English crop, while 1 much smaller than the bumper crop of last year, is a full aterage I yield and one of excellent quality I In spite of apparently plentiful tl J If jl - swuuues, iuu uiuiipcnie 01 an import duty, the United Kingdom has continued to Import ' hops since the tarift became effective Ion August IS. Imports from Aug- ust 15 to September 30, in fact, hare been largerhan for 'both August and September of last yearv , It la quite likely however, I that the very low prices-prevail- ins on Pafiric Coast hops, are re sponsible for imports in spite of the tariff. An importaut factor In the situation, is the proportion of foreigu and domestic hops used by Critish brewers. Before the hop control went into effect, Brit ish growers were using about one thirl Imported bops and two thirds domestic hops, according to Mr. Foley. During the control. , in effect for the past eight years the proportion was dropped to about one-sixth foreign bops and about live-sixths domestic hops. It is expected in many quarters that brewers will now return to the pre-war proportion t oue t'uird Imparted hops and tw'o- ! third. domestic, at least until the stocks of foreign nops, are ab sorbed. Whether brewersiwill; re turn to these proporHomi perm anently remains HoiHje seenl.f tout with hops still being .imported, there is some ground for'-hope in th!s direction. The hop situat'on is considered, quite favorable from the stand point of English growers. The duty now in effect appears to be generally satisfactory, and over H0 of the British hop acreage is now controlled by a recently form ed growers cooperative associa tion, which is expected to do much in the way of stabilizing the in dustry by the control which it proposes to exert over the market ing of the crop.

Aorordinjc to an unofficial will, attempt only, it is said, to secure a fair and reasonable profit for growers of an average crop Present information is to the ef fect that no attempt will be made either to increase or decrease acreage. While it is still too early to judge the permanent elfect of the tariff or the success or British hop growers, it "is of Interest to note that some European trade reports indicate a, belief that the British tariff will be practically prohibitive to the importation of American hops. In forming an opinion as to the lonfpie effect of the tariff, it'fs necpsajry," however.- to: ta ke liltn aftU&e&Wn British production and consume- tion of hops, "ih-the JU years,r 1905 to 1914 IncrusiveT'the Uiiited. Kingdom produced an average "olj about 42,'do.OOO pounds of hops from 38.500 acres. Net imports during the same years' averaged about 18,500,000 pounds. Con sumption therefore, was over 60, 000.000 nounds. Consumption during the year ended March 31. 1925 is estimated at approximately 47,000,000 lbsJ, or about 5,000,000 greater than the pre-war average production. Production during the past' five years, including the bumper crop of 1924, has averaged about 35.- 000,060 pounds or 12,000,000 less than the present requirements. The indications are, therefore, that the present British acreage would have to be increased from 35 to 50 to reach a status where .it can supply domestic require ments with consumption remain ing at the present level. ' Vj Trade has been quiet for 1925 hops not included in the scheme for collective selling, according to the . British Agricultural- Market report.' As a rule these are taken by the firms who took the growth last year, and supplies for general business are therefore very re stricted. - Prices asked are usual ly based on last year's values, and the range, so far, is from about $33.85 to $50.80. A trade report states that some English hops were apparently being bought tor $54.00 per hundredweight forvex port to Germany. The only indi cation available of the price bf American hops in England is from the returns of value of tbe im ports quoted In the 'official trade statistics given" further on in this report. . . y Whatever the long time effect of the tariff may be, the present outlook in general is not encour aging to American hop growers al though some circumstances indi Cate that it is not as bad as it ap- pears. In'Canadak ffowever, the I close of the control and the pass ing of the tariff law. is viewed with disfavor by hop growers, in spite Of the preferential rate which they enjoy, according to Consul H. S Tewe at Vancouver. He states that the hop growers say the pref erence of about 5 cents a pound in heir favor is not enough to pro feet them since growers in the t'nited States can still undersell them. . !
