Oregon Hops at All Time
Low, Will Slip in 1954
What has happened to Oregon's
hop industry? Is It doomed to
extinction, or can its slow death
be halted and new life instilled to
bring the state once again to the
forefront as the nation's leading
producer of hops?
These are questions facing Ore
gon's hop growers as they go into
1954.

their leader.
One thing is certain. Oregon's
hop production has slipped to an
all-time low and indications are
that still fewer acres will be plant
ed to hops this year.
Oregon for many years grew
more than half the nation's total
output of hops. In 1937 the state
raised 56 per cent of all hops
grown in the U. S. Last year, Ore
gon grew only IS per cent of the
total.
Only about (,800 acres were
planted in hops last year in the
Willamette valley and the bottom
lands of Douglas and Josephine
counties where once the long,
straight rows of the hop vines dom
inated the countryside.
The 1953 acreage was about
half the 1952 planting and feU
considerably below the high of
14,900 acres for the last five
years planted in 1951. Total pro
duction was 6,900,000 pounds last
year, compared to 18,800,000
pounds in 1951.
The value of the 1953 crop was
$3,159,000, compared tn $5,932,000
the previous year and $8,800,000 in
1951.
Why is Oregon's hop industry in
such a sorry state?
It isn't because the nation is
consuming less beer, into which
most of the hops go. The Brewers
Institute of Oregon says figures
show that 1.3 per cent more beer
was produced in the first 11 months
of 1953 than during a similar penod
of 1952.
Marion Thomas, extension agri
cultural economist at Oregon Mate
College, attributes part of the
slumo to over-production in years
when prices were high. The export
trade is holding up. There are no
figures for 1953 but in 1952 exports
were some two miiiiun pounas
more than in 1951. But huge sur
pluses have been built up and the
domestic and foreign markets are
drawing on these stores for their
hops, thus driving the price down,
and lessening the demand for new
hops.
