THE NEED OF NEW STANDARDS
FOR HOP VALUATION.
By Professor H. V. Tartar, Oregon Agricultura
college, Uorvallia. ,
Hop growing ia one of the import
ant agricultural industries of this
state,' certain sections being devoted
almost entirely to the production of
this crop. ; The annual production of
the Willamette valley approximates
90,000 bales. Considered nationally
the hop crop, according to the latest
figures the writer has available, ranks
fourteenth in importance on the list of
agricutural crops. In this country ap
proximately 45,000,000 pounds of hops
are consumed annually. These facts
show that considerable attention should
be given to improvement in the cul
ture and quality of American hops.
In the improvement of hops one of
the first requisites is the establish
ment of definite and scientific stand
ards for accurately judging the qual
ity of the hop. There must be some
ideal to work to. The necessity for
such standards has long been recog
nized, but certain practical considera
tions have thus far prevented their
realization. There have been wide
differences of opinion, and I might
say, prejudices in some instances, as
to the factors which actually consti
tute quality, and also the amount . of
the various constituents in the strictly
high grade hop.
Practically without exception the
producer sells his hops on the basis of
an empirical physical examination,
while the consumer' who purchases his
supply from the broker or dealer may
form his judgment upon a chemical as
well as a physical examination. , The
points considered and the relative im
portance of- each vary widely with
different individuals, no two judging
the same; hops which one judge will
deem to be of good quality another
will consider inferior. The most im
portant of the points usually consid
ered in physical examination are:
Aroma, or smell, color, quantity of lu
pulin or "hop meal," "fatness," kind
of drying, amount of leaves or stems,
due to improper picking, freedom from
mould, quantity of seeds, broken cones
due to careless handling, ripeness,
softness of texture, stickiness or gum-
miness, amount of sulfuring and
"feel." In the use of chemical anal
ysis, which has been much less em
ployed, it is the common custom to de
termine only such constituents as are
regarded as of greatest importance.
Some hold the quantity of hard (taste
less) and soft (bitter) resins alone de
termine the quality; , others attach
weight to the tannin content; the
amount of sulfur present due to
"bleaching" is often given considera
tion ; the proportion in which certain
mineral constituents, such as potas
sium, lime and magnesium occur in
the ash is regarded by some as a cri
terion for determining quality.
The most serious defect in the
method of physical examination is that
it cannot be accurately applied. Ihe
relative merits of the different points
vary too widely with different individ
uals. Often the whims of certain con
sumers are allowed to accentuate
minor factors. Again, with many too
much importance is given to aroma, a
factor concerning which no very ac
curate information can be given as to
actual value. The geographical origin
not infrequently is a prominent sub
conscious factor in the determination
of quality, notwithstanding the fact
that hops from different parts of the
same identical region often differ more
widely than hops from regions widely
separated. This factor also accounts
for the fact that the quantity of hops
sold on the market as coming from a
certain locality often exceeds greatly
the actual output of the region speci
fied. .: 7. ; -
To overcome this difficulty certain
legal restrictions have been made in
some countries. In Germany and Aus
tria regulations exist which require
that the package of hops shall be seal
ed and accompanied by a certificate in
order that their origin may be guaran
teed in the interests of both grower
and consumer. In England, also, hops
must be branded with the name and
address of the grower. These very
legal requirements indicate a wide
spread inability on the part of the con
sumer to judge the quality of hops.
Recently, a local hop dealer told the
author of an actual happening which
aptly illustrates the point in question.
Some Idaho hop growers were enthusi
astic over the quality of their hops
and placed large labels on the bales
stating that they were Idaho hops.
The dealer who purchased the lot made
arrangements for the sale of the same
consecutively to four different New
York firms, the shipment being as
many times rejected. The firms pur
chasing had not heard of 'Idaho hops"
before. To overcome the difficulty the
local dealer had the baling cloth re
moved and replaced it with cloth
beating labels which stated the con
tents to be "choice Oregon hops."
The entire shipment sold immediately
at the highest market price.
Although a considerable amount of
investigation of the chemical composi
tion of the hop has been made, much
still remains in doubt. , The part
played by the different constituents of
the hop and their relative . importance
in industrial uses have never been
demonstrated. ' Again the methods of
analysis which have been worked out
have been faulty. In a .recent inves
tigation made by the writer of the
comparative value of different meth
ods it has been found that only one
method for the determination of total
bitter resinsxis reliable. Much work
remains to be done for securing accur
ate methods of analysis.
Viewed in the light of recent inves
tigations, the real chemical composi
tion of hops has not been fully worked
out for any hop-growing section in the
world. A careful and unbiased com
parative study of the nature and quan
titative relations of the constituents
of American and European hops with
the view of securing a definite basis
for a standard 'of valuation is yet to
be made. No extended investigations
have been made to show the relation
ship of the different hop constituents
to quality. i ' '
From what has been said it seems
evident that no greater work can be
done for the Oregon hop industry than
that for the establishment of definite
permanent standards based upon care
ful scientific investigations.' ' At
present the grower strives only to in
crease the yield. Quantity is the
only criterion for improvement. ;
Again in the hop market but little at
tention is evidently given to the ac
tual intrinsic value of the hop. : - Pa
cific Coast hops haveiieen shown to
contain as high, if not higher, bitter
resin content as that found in hops
grown in any other part of the world,
yet' this fact is not considered in the
price paid for them in the markets.
The question of standards lies at the
very beginning of progress in hop cul
ture for both agriculturists and tech
nologists. They must of necessity be
the guide used to manipulate the cul
ture of the hop in such a manner, that
the undesirable characteristics may
be diminished and the desirable and
useful ones augmented.
A movement has been set on foot
recently in this country, having for its
object the fixing of definite standards.
It is to be carried out in connection
with the annual International Barley
and Hop Prize exhibit held at Chi
cago. A committee has been appoint
ed to work out the details of the
standards. Although the work of
this committee will be greatly ham
pered because of the lack of available
scientific data it is hoped that its
work will accentuate the importance
and lead to the undertaking of the
necessary investigations. Every ef
fort should be made by hop growers to
bring about a thorough revision of the
present methods of hop valuation and
to secure the establishment of stand
ards which shall be based on intrinsic
value without reference to other fac
tors.

" . French Honor.
The French playwright had begun
the third act of his latest problem
drama. It was to be a great act,- an
act that required, expression, repres
sion, even suppression. "
The heroine had just fallen across
the threshold she had disgraced, and
was about to utter her first impas
sioned speech, when the playwright's
valet appeared in the doorway.
"M'sieur no doubt remembers that
he has to fight M. Rene Slosh at 3
o'clock?"
The dramatist threw down his pen.
v "No; I had forgotten."
Casting a look cf poignant regret
at his manuscript, he Bought the field

jabbed his rapier through the waist

.. Then he returned home. Again he
took up the pen. The valet reap
peared. , ,
- "M'sieur fights the Due de Mushead
at 8:40."
Sighing heavily the goaded play
wright stalked back to the same field
of honor and promptly shot the little
duke through his title.
Once more he took up the pen only
to throw it down. At 4 :20 he had to
fight the Marquis de Weeshbon; at
4 :45 he met the feuilletonist, M.
Guille Gazook; at 5 o'clock he shot up
the Count de Bute; at 5:30 he per
forated the pompadour of the Prince
of Poompernique.
Then he spent the entire evening at

The experience of Motherhood Is a

one woman in a nun

iproperly care for her-
self. Of course near
ly every woman now-
auays has medical
treatment at the
time of child-birth,
but many approach
the experience with
an organism unfitted for the trial of
strength, and when the strain 1b over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy inother of chit
dren, and indeed child-birth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
frm an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the triaL
It isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They bava
ample time in wliich to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
