...first, led by J. O. Brew 4G, will continue the excavations begun in 1931 on Alkali Ridge, in the San Juan drainage of Southeastern Utah. Alkali Ridge is covered with hundreds of ruins, dating from the pit house of Basket-maker times to the many-roomed stone structures of Puoblo III. The object of the expedition is to define the Pueblo II culture, which has never been determined. Thirteen sites were excavated last year with gratifying results...
...days before Prohibition laid its blight upon the land, 19 great breweries were domiciled here and thousands of barrels of Cincinnati brew were shipped to connoisseurs of good beer in all parts of the country. The soul-satisfying output of Lackman, Hauck, Moerlein, Windisch-Muhlhauser. Wiedemann was known and praised and gurgled by discriminating throats everywhere. And now that blight has been lifted. They too are staging a mighty comeback...
Still anxious lest they offend their Dry enemies, the New York brewers, through Col. Jacob Ruppert, had announced that the new brew would not be delivered until 6 a. m. on historic April 7 so that there would be no "carnival of untoward celebration." Next day at lunch time, New Yorkers thronged forth to try their beer. First problem was to find it. Most hotels and clubs were serving but elsewhere distribution was capricious.

...hops* (80% of the 1932 crop), 30,000,000 bu. of barley† (10% of the 1932 crop) and 10,000 bu. of corn (about ⅓% of the 1932 crop). But home brew, illegal brew, and ½% beer is already using part of these amounts. About 6,000,000 Ib. of hops were used for other than brewing in pre-Prohibition days. Assuming that this amount still holds, then the beer business may be said to be already operating at about 45% of its pre-Prohibition capacity. If it is going to operate at 50% the demand for raw materials...
