Economic Benefit of Beer Prohibition Cited by Food Chief
Food Commissioner Heaver argues that banning beer production would reclaim 60,000,000 bushels of barley for food use. He notes 15,000,000 bushels of corn and 8,000,000 bushels of rice were used in malt for beer in 1916, representing large losses to the food supply. The barley alone could yield substantial barley bread, aiding 6,000,000 people.
