Tally Shows World's Hops Crop Decline WASHINGTON UP) The Depart ment of Agriculture estimates the world's 1953 hops crop to be 7.1 ; per cent smaller than last year. The total is estimated at 132 mil lion pounds, 'compared with 143 million in 1932. (The United States' total was 41,732,000, compared with 61,263,000 the previous year. The department reported that the U. S. exported 14,265,000 pounds, compared with 12,255,000 in the previous year, y; - ! "The outstanding feature of, the nation's export trade in hops was the extraordinarily large quantity sold in European markets, the total amounting to 4,854,000 pounds, compared with only 615,000 pounds a year earlier. Undoubtedly this reflected not only the poor crop harvested in Europe In 1952, but also such factors as a desire on the fart of European brewers to build up reserve stocks, the price advantage enjoyed by United States hops in those market, an ass'urance of prompt delivery of high grade hops from the U. S., and an upward trend in beer production and consumption," the department reported. Keen Competition The report added: "Competition for export outlets will be unusually keen this season In the first place, the crop outside the U. S. appears to be 9,428,000 pounds larger than a year ago. Prices of foreign hops are declin ing, early September reports indi cating that Continental hops would be available for export this year at $98.10 to $112.11 per 112 pounds, compared with $180.87 a year earlier. This would make the current -price of 43-46 cents per pounds for U. S. hops much less attractive to foreign buyers than a year ago. In addition, such importing countries as are con fronted with a dollar shortage win undoubtedly purchase as much as possible of their requirements from non-dollar areas. Draw on Reserves "On the other hand, indications are that a number of importing countries may have drawn heavily on reserve stocks during 1952-53. To that extent they may have to increase their purchases...There are also reports of an upward trend in beer consumption, especially in the countries of Continental Europe; In addition, the prelimi nary crop - estimate for Canada. which has been purchasing the bulk of its import requirements from the U. S., indicates a low crop. This should result in a substantial increase in our exports of hops to that country during 1953-54." The report noted that U. 8. imports of hops went down 5.3 per cent to 3,539,000 pounds this year, and added that the outlook was for no increase in imports in the coming year Hardening of Artery Shown ByBloodTest CHICAGO (INS) A simple, three-way blood test may reveal hardening of the arteries chief cause of dangerous heart attacks long before the first twinge of pain, a scientist reported recent ly. Trials of the new technique on 33 heart patients and 197 pre sumably normal persons indicate that the disease, or even a tend ency to develop it, can be spot ted in its earliest and perhaps reversible stage, he added. , Dr. Thaddeus D. Labecki of the ; Mississippi State Health Board reported the results of extensive studies at the annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society for the Study of Arteriosclerosis in Chicago. First Phase The first phase of the three step test measures the concentra tion of cholesterol, a fatty sub stance believed to line and thick en artery walls, in the blood ; stream. In a second, a "chylomicron determination." a high -rawer 5 microscope, is used to measure . tne sue oi latty particles in the blood serum, Dr. Labecki ex plained. If the Darticles are mnr than three millionths of a milli meter in diameter, there may be trouble anead. The third test in whiok blood sample is whirled 55,000 tunes a minute in an ultracentri fuce. measures even tinier narti. cles lipoproteins, or combina tions oi xat and protein. Test Base Dr. Labecki said the tests are based on a mass of evidence in dicating that arteriosclerosis be gins wlfen the body fails to util ize fatty substances and high con centrations appear in the blood serum. Until now.t he explained, only the cholesterol measurement a relatively crude index has been available to practicing phy sieiansi ' In an earlier study, also sup ported by a grrant from the U.S. Vitamin Coronration. tht ruwia1. 1st reDorted ' successful use nf methischol, an amino acid and vitamin, combination, to reverse early abnormalities in blood fat levels.
