thrashed out thoroughly in connection
with the barley and hop exhibition
which will be. held in Chicago Oct.
1922. AS in the case of other aromat-
ic plants, the sources of the aroma are
not well understood. Aroma usually
depends upon such minute particles
of substance that even the delicate re-
actions in the chemical laboratory are
frequently inadequate to discover
them. The high prices which are paid,
based upon their flavor or aroma, and
yet this flavor or aroma cannot be
discovered by chemical analysis. 1t
is not surprising, therefore, that the
substances which contain the flavor
or aroma of hops have never been as
certained with certainty. There is
theory that they are closely assOci-
ated with the soft resins contained in
the lupulin. or the hop flour, which is
found between the bracts Of the cone
and which is really the essential part
of the hop plant.
AS for the color of the hops, various
preferences prevail, some preferring
the varieties which are entirely green.
while others think the yellowish green
is preferable. In this country the vel
lowish kinds are usually preferred.
while in Germany the green ones have
the call.
Inasmuch as the brewing value of
hops depends largely upon the lupulin-
ic acid and the soft resins and the
American hops are unusually rich in
soft resins. American hop growers
need have no fear of entering the prize
competition at Chicago under the rules
which have been adopted for the jury
which is to judge the hops.

Improvement of Barley and Hops.
A movement is under way to bring
about Improvement in the growing Of
barley and hops and to lay down GER
tain standards by which they can be
valued regardless of the personal equa-
ton.
At the presen; stage this movement
is crystal!;Zing in an international bar

place { t. u to p. 1911, at Chicago.
in connection with the American Elk
position of Brewing Machinery, Ma

there will be available prize fund
of over $4,000. which will be appor-
toned to the different varieties and
strains of the crops with view of CIV
ing the greatest possible encourage
ment to the farmers who raise them.
The growers who may wish to par

the committee on awards, 1903 Repub-

necessary application and entry blanks.

REASONS FOR USING
HOPS IN BEVERAGES
Taste and Aroma as Well as Pre-
sentative Quality Are Desired.

Some American growers claim that,
inasmuch as American hops in many
cases are just as rich in the soft resins
as the best European hops. their brew
ing value ought to be equal to that of
the Europeans They have not, how
ever. been able to convince American
brewers of the accuracy of this view.
They will try to do so at the barley
and hop exhibition in Chicago in De-
tOber. 1911. The principal trouble.
however with American hops as they
reach the market is that they are pick
ed carelessly. The only part that is of
value to the consumer is the cone, and
everything in the shape Of stems and
leaves that is mixed with the grains
not only diminishes the amount of
available material, but introduces.

and cones being rich in fannie acid,

better grades of barley is the mailing

the brewing and distilling trades. The
principal and almost exclusive market
for hops is the brewing industry
For number of years American
and European scientists have devoted
much inquiry to these crops for the
purpose of deciding upon which prop
critics are conditioned their value to
the consumer.
With regard to barley. there is con-
siderable difference of opinion, the
views of American and European in

With regard to hops, scientific inquiry
has not yet proceeded far enough to
state with any degree of certainty
which are the leading characters of
the plant that make up its value to
the manufacturer who uses it.
Departments of Agriculture Study
Barley and Hops.
The agronomists and chemists of the
State Agricultural colleges and several
specialists of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture have devoted
a great deal of time to the study OF
barley and hops and their improve

farmers to devote attention to the pro-
