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,

nltely known but It Is supposed to
be Prof. A. A. Berle of Columbia. 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. .
