1 TEN irEPFOffD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1933. OF COAST HAPPY AS ACCUSER BACK FROM HONEYMOON Thirteen-Year Gamble Tha Prohibition Would End Proves Good Buyers Eager and Supply Limited BAN FRANCISCO, March 38. (AP) Heedless of the nationwide clamor tor larm relief the hop growers of the Pacitlo states go busily about their fields, for they need no relief, now that beer la near. For them 13 1 a lucky number. They held onto their landa through 13 years of prohibition, gambling that their Industry would come bacn ana they have won. Theirs Is no worry about overpro duction. The only care they have la how to Increase their crops to the maximum the land will yield. Buyers Eager. No trouble to find buyers and no difficulty In getting a profit-paying price. Suppllea are short, and buyers are eager, and the price of 80 cents a pound gives the grower ample profit margin over the average cost ox pro duction of around 14 cents. Frlces of choice bops have added about 00 per cent to their stature since early March. They have dou bled In less than a year, and are now at the highest levels In a dozen years. A prediction that a shortage would develop came today from K. Clemens Horst, San Francisco dealer. Thla outlook was backed with statistics by F. L. Lyons, federal agricultural economist, who, however, refrained from predictions. Supply Limited. Lyons said the supplies In growers' bands were about 11,727 bales In the coast states the most Important hop growing area in the country. This risible supply was materially leea than In preceding yoars. "Last year's production was short the world over," Lyons said. He added It was likely "a close situation" would have existed even without raising de mand by legalizing beer. Lyons' fig tires indicated the normal' demand of recent years wss around 27,000,000 pounds but thla wss only about hslf the demand of the loiu-iui period, Observers in Washington, Oregon and California find the Industry in sigh gear. Acreage Is Increasing In spite of efforts of growers to control the supply of roots to prevent too rapid expansion. Allied businesses are picking up. From 8alem,Ore., cornea the report that hardware merchants this yoar have sold three times last year's volume of hop growers' wire and kindred supplies. Contract Ahead. Term contracts for production have been drawn "and signed. Those in reported cases, oover crops for two and three yeara ahead. Last year the coast atates bad 22, 000 acres In hops, That this would be Increased several thousand acres waa agreed by well-Informed persons connected with the Industry. Oregon is the chief hop-growing state, pro ducing more than half the coast's output. California produces more per acre but has only a modest acresge compared with Oregon. Washington, with the smallest acreage, gets the heaviest production per acre some farmers claiming aa high as 4000 pounds, though their average last year was something under 2000 pounds, SEEK NEW PREXY Fl .

One of those who sat In on the confer ences In which it was discussed was Senator Dili of Washington. He may be In charge of legislation. Other alternative plans were also discussed. Some of the timid con ferees thought this one was too dar ing,. They frankly tried to talk the president out of playing with the Idea. They wanted to go back to the old scheme of reorganizing the I. C. C, repealing the recapture clause and letting It go at that. These secondary plans would not prevent two large railroads from going Into receivership by May 1. The big one will. Breaking up the I. C. O. was spon sored In the Inner circle by Com merce Secretary Roper. He was the one who planted recent stories to that effect. Mr. Roosevelt heard about It and let tt be known In de vious ways that he wanted to go much further. What troubled him was he did not know how far he could go and get away with It. The house boys squirmed and grunted at the farm bill. Everyone who spoke either criticized or de nounced It. - Yet nearly all said they would vote for it. That may sound strange to an aver age citizen. It Is easily explainable. The bill Is full of political dynamite. It Is another farm board kind of a proposition. Few think it will do the Job. Even Mr. Roosevelt called it an experiment. If the measure works out to be unpopular the congressmen can point to the record where they denounced It. If It works out well they can brag that they voted for It. No one can lose except Mr. Roose velt. Some senate leaders personally ap pealed to Mr. Roosevelt to alter the bill. They said they could not be re' sponsible for the original form of the legislation In the senate. Both Democratic Floor Leader Rob lnson and 'Senator Plttnun brought the subject up quietly at and after the White House conference Tuesday night. Senator Smith waa behind flanking movement In the senate to get the bill changed. The congressional explosion on the farm bin was partly psychological un aerneath. The boys had been taking the Roosevelt orders from the start and could not stand It any longer. They had to let the folks back home know they bad arrived In Washington. They could not get their names In the papers without making a fuss. The White House understood this situation. The feeling there was that if congress were permitted to blow off a little steam on the farm bill It would come back Into the Roose velt camp In the end. Europe la up to Its old tricks of hiding Its real feelings behind fins phrases. .
