This board, if hops are made a basic commodity by congress, would have power to set production quotas, limiting any grower to a yield based on his average yield for three years compared to the quota set up for the state. i The board would be empow ered to set a minimum price on hop sales and to set higher prices for hest quality hops. Surplus hops -now on the market could be bought by the board and dis posed of as It saw fit. The board would finance Its operating costs by a one-fifth of a cent tax on all hops sold by the grower and a one-fifth of a cent tax paid by the dealer. Moneys with which to purchase surplus hops would be provided by a flat two cent tax on all hops passing Into the hands of the ultimate .consumer..
