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.

"Just Imagine receiving $5000 daring this depression. And
