Prosperity and the Oregon Hopgrowers THE hopgrowers who meet here today have a personal In terest in the repeal of prohibition and the restoration of the legal sale of beer and ale, in the manufacture of which hops are used. Most of them, or all of them are frankly for repeal, because they see an opportunity for the expansion of their market. While this paper would like to see all the hopgrowers prosperous, -we have felt that restoration of the Hlfcor traffic on a legal basis was too costly a prvk to jay - even for the benefit of our neighbors the hopmen. ; Without desiring to sound a sour note in the campaign of the hopmen to repeal prohibition, we would like to refer to some statistics which hardly bear out the anticipations " of the growers for greater prosperity, in case of repeal. The result of repeal would probably be the immediate expansion of acreage, increase of production and consequent lowering of prices to an unprofitable level. The fact is that hopgrowers are enjoying relatively far higher prices today than the rvucab mcu turn uug pj.uuui.cio. oiaiccii vcnir iiujjs ia mvvci than 4c hogs and 30c wheat. If one studies the figures as reported in station bulletin 288 "an economic study of the hop industry of Oregon," pub lished by the state college, he p impressed by the fact that prohibition has had comparatively little effect on the hop business in Oregon. The average production in Oregon for the years from 1895 to 1909, good "wet" years, was 17,158,000 lbs. The ave rage production in the "dry" years, 1925-1929 was 15,958,000 pounds, a decrease of only 6. For the United States as a whole the decrease was nearly 30. Statistics as to acreage are not quite so complete, but the average of the two years 1899 and 1909 was 18,601 acres. The 1929 acreage was 17,000, a decrease of 1,601 or only 8. The acreage during the years 1915-1919 was only 13,600; while the average acreage during 1925-1929 was 15,480, or aa INCREASE of 14. It is true that production was re- educed in the war years 1917-1919. For the United States as "a -whole the reduction in acreage between 1915-1919 and 1925-1929 was 30. Thus Oregon has lost little either in acreage or produc- -if ornia's figures are as follows : Acreage 1915 14,350 21,460,000 lbs. 1929 5,000 9,700,000 lbs. Is it not logical to expect then that California and Wash ington will immediately bring their acreage back to pre-pro-hibition levels in case of any repeal? In fact the tendency might be to go even higher in the frenzy to share the profits - of high-priced hops. Nor is the price situation bad compared with previous periods of depression. Hops have always been highly spec ulative. Old Ezra Meeker, once hop-king of the Puyallup val ley, made and lost fortunes in hops. The price figures for Oregon are : Average price, 1905-1909, 15c; 1910-1914, 20.3c; 1925 1929, 18 Jc. . i Back in the '90's hops sold at absurd prices, 50c for a bale of nearly 200 lbs. The lowest price recorded in this bul letin 2.8c was in the spring of 1895. The average in that year was 4.7c; 1894 5c; 1896 8.4c; 1899 7.9c; 1907 5.8c; 1908 8.7c Recently the price has ranged from lie to 16c From a study of the statistics it is difficult to see the justification of the hopgrowers in their antagonism to pro hibition. They have reduced their acreage very little, their production only 6, and are enjoying prices relatively high- . cr than for other products of the farm. . , It may be conceded that were prohibition suddenly re pealed there would be a sudden demand for hops which would greatly increase the price to the benefit of the spec ulators and the holders of hops; but that would probably a U I JL At- - prove temporary ana soon overproaucuon wouiu g.uw markets and depress the price. The consumption of hops in beer making is not high, about 64-100 of a pound to the barrel of beer, only about half wfcat was used fifty years ago, so a bale of hops goes a long ways in the brewing industry.

Covitsay Yaw Tack BaralaVTiAaM BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J; HENDRICKS- We ara not through: V Every on of our major indus tries on tha land here in the Wil lamette valley is protected by the Hawley-Smoot tariff which the Tammany playboy has been de nouncing in bis specious and vac uous school boy declamations as he has breezed through the coun try on his special train. S la Most of the rates were raised in that 1930 act; raises that were sorely needed and have prevented much moro disastrous slumps in prices than have afflicted our people on the farms. But we are not yet through. Moro raises are needed, and eter nal vigilance is the price of pros perity to say nothing of bare liv ing conditions on the soil, even in this naturally rich land of di versity.

' SYNOPSIS Ted Wynne left his poaltion in the BeSpott steel null to work bis way throogn Old Dominion College so he might be th equal of the wealtiiy Barb Roth, He succeeds creditably. Coach Barney Mack makes bint a quarterback on his na tionally known Bio Comets. The first year they lose on gam only. for which Tom Stone. Ted's rival in love and football, blames Ted. Barb breaks an appointment with Ted in favor of Tom. Hurt, Ted decides to teach her a lesson and ignores ber. Ia th company of beautiful Rosalie Downs, Ted forgets Barb for a while, but back at school she holds bis thoughts. Softened by a summer of forced leisure and after-effects of a hand Infection. Ted is not ia bis esnal form. The team la also hand capped by the absence of Captain Jim Davis doe to an hrnry. Having lost twice, with four more games to go, the Blue Comets are "blue; Never before had Old Dominion made each a poor showing. Then comes the Army game.

Nearly all th sweet cherries la th United States, grown commercially, are produced In Oregon, Washington aad California, and In Oregon principally in this valley, and the Salem trade territory. After hard fighting, these rates war provided in th Hawley Smoot law: In natural state, per pound, 2 cents; dried, etc., 8 Cents; sulphured or in brine, with pits 5 snd a halt cents and with pita removed 9 and a half cents. But the tight.ls still on. The mara schino Junta has been before the tariff commission clamoring tor a lower rat on cherries sulphured or In brin. Of course, this Junta makes no attack on the rat for th maraschino' product, 9 and a half cents a pound plus 40 per eent ad valorem. Not they. Our growers must go on fighting. Third, walnuts and filberts. The present rates ara 5 cents for each, with II cents for shelled walnuts and 10 cents a pound on shelled filberts. When, aad if.
