New plantings for 1976 amounted to 498 acres and replantings to nearly 1,200 acres resulting in a total baby acreage of 1,694 acres (HAC Table 2) Hop production the past year set a modern day record with a total of 295,687 bales or 57.88 million pounds (HAC Table 1) surpassing the previous year's production by 3,3% in spite of lower acreage. The major hop varieties produced in the United States in the order of total acreage in 1975 were as follows: Early Clusters (47%), Cascade (14%), Late Cluster (12%), California and Grants Pass Late Cluster Seedless (5%), Bullion and Brewer's Gold (8%), Fuggle (7%); the remainder was made up of Talisman, Comet and others (pri marily Columbia and Willamette planted as babies in Oregon), The cool and relatively wet summer was particularly favorable to Cascades in Washington with an all-time record production of 2,033 pounds/acre for Cascades and a state average of 1,960 pounds/acre (HAC Table 3). Average production in Oregon was below that of the previous year particularly due to mildew problems in the English and Cascades. Idaho produced slightly more pounds per acre than last year but due to the drastic acreage reduction in this state, the total 1976 production for Idaho was 16% below that of the previous year. California came in with an average production of 1,660 pounds per acre which was substantially below that of 1975 and somewhat lower than that of 1974. The declining trend in world hop production that has persisted since 1974 again was evident with a 1976 total of 238.1 million pounds (HAC Table 4) of which the U.S. accounted for 24% and West Germany, the leading world hop pro ducer contributing 27% or 63.4 million pounds. Slightly over 51% (27,9 million pounds) of our 1975 production was ex ported in the 1975/76 marketing year (HAC Table 4). American breweries used a total of 23.1 million pounds (69%) of domestic hops, and 10.4 million pounds (31%) of improted hops (HAC Table 4). The ranking of the leading hop production countries both in terms of acreage and in terms of total production (HAC Table 6A) remained nearly un changed from that of the previous years, with West Germany again being No. 1 followed by the United States, Czechoslovakia, England, Yugoslavia, East Bermany etc. in that order (HAC Tables 6A and 6B). The Soviet Union, in spite of its tremendous hop acreage (nearly 28,000 acres), again had a very low yield (below 1,000 pounds per acre) and may again become a factor on the world hop market during the coming marketing year. Other important hop producing countries that are not members of the International Hop Production Bureau in order of production are Japan, Romania, Canada, Hungary, New Zealand, Argentina, and South Africa in that order. The total production of the non member countries of the IHGC however amounted to only 5.5% (39.9 million pounds) of total world hop production, as compared to 198.2 million pounds of hops produced by the member countries of the International Hop Production Bureau (Table 6B). U S. hop imports continued their declining trend that was begun about 4 years ago; however, total imports still exceeded 12 million pounds (HAD Table 7) as compared to nearly 28 million pounds of U.S. hop exports in the 1975/76 marketing year (HAC Table 8). Our leading foreign customers (HAC Tables 9A, 9B) in order of importance were: Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Soviet Union, Columbia, Ireland, Czechoslovakia, etc. with the remainder distributed among 48 other foreign countries. Brewery consumption of U.S. hops was below expectations in 1975-1976 (HAC Table 11) amounting to only 33 1 million pounds. The carry-in hop stocks in 1976 reached an all time high of over 50 million pounds (HAC Table 11) which coupled with the new 1977 production, could reach an all time high of total hop supplies well in excess of 100 million pounds. Total U.S. Beer production in 1976 topped 150 million barrels (MBAA special report p.3£-2U). Anheuser Busch remained the leading beer producer in spite of a decrease of over 6 million barrels (-17%), probably largely due to a 3 month strike. Miller again showed outstanding growth of over 43%/year, which moved it into 3rd place among major brewers. The top 5 brewers share of U.S. beer sales rose to 68.1% in 1976 (67% in 1975) and the top 10 brewers accounted for over 86% of total beer sales in the United States. u. Table 1 s.

With a year-end tally of 150,475,000 barrels, the gain was just about 1.2 percent for the domestically produced malt bev erages. When one adds up the performance of imported malt beverages with about a 42 per cent increase over 1975 for a total of approximately 2.3 million U.S. barrels, the 1976 figure for all malt beverage products moves up to 152,775,000 barrels. A similar 1975 total would be 150,267,000 barrels. Of the domestic figure, the nation's top ten producing organi zations, who operate 43 brew- eries, accounted for 85.9 percent of the total. A decade earlier, the top ten of that year accounted for 62.9 percent. Brewers in that 1966 top ten not included in last year's list were Theo. Hamm Brewing Co. and Associated Brewing Co.

For the five-year period 1977-1981, the company expects to spend some $600 mil lion for continued expansion and modernization of brewing facili ties. The goal, according to Chair man Joseph F.

The pre vious company high was 12,370,000 barrels in 1974. The year's increase was partic ularly highlighted by the excellent fourth quarter, up nearly 16 percent, and the November figure in California which was 22.8 percent higher than the same 1975 month. The past year was notable for Coors in that new markets were opened in Montana and Washington as well as extension of markets in Texas to include the entire state. With a great deal of attention paid to the possible entry of Coors into Nebraska last year, the move did not take place. It appears likely that a part of the metro Omaha market will by mid-year, come under the operations of the Coors Distributing Co. with inde pendent distributors designated for the rest of the state. The intro duction of Coors into Spokane was done through a brewery operated unit. Peter Coors, who is a president of the distributing subsidiary, said four eastern counties in Washington are serviced from Spokane. It was also announced last year that Coors Distributing purchased from Ray Lowell the Rayell Co. in Tustin, California, which accounts for some three percent of the brewery's production in the popu lous Orange County area. And again we can say as we did last year that' 'never before in any 12-month period had so many people in so many diverse sections of the U.S. consumed as much Coors." When William K. "Bill" Coors became president back in late 1955, the brewery was rated at a 900,000 barrel capacity. With one -of the longest track records in the industry at the head of a major brewery, Bill Coors speaks with authority about the role of stress in the daily lives of people. His life-long study of the subject has led to the belief that stress is the limiting factor in everyone's per formance.

Beer sales last year were up 14 percent to a new company record of 6,300,000 barrels (estimated) is twice that of 1971's 3,094,363 barrels in a 12-state market. Robert A. "Bobby" Schmidt, chairman and chief executive officer, noted increased accep tance of the Olympia and Hamm's brands. "More people in more markets are trying our products and apparently they like what they taste," he said last month. But a more significant an nouncement from Olympia's chairman was the acquisition of the Lone Star Brewing Co. in San Antonio. Lone Star's figure, which in 1975 amounted to 983,000 barrels, is not included in Olym pia's 1976 report.

In the past year, lone Star has had a successful package entry in the market with its "Long Neck," a of the largest and most efficient bottle recycling plants in the country. While Lone Star's easternmost market can be identifies as Ten nessee, Olympia and Hamm's are still short of the eastern seaboard. The avowed intention of "going national" was made known by Olympia several years ago. It is the only West Coast brewery ever to expand its market over the Rockies and into the Midwest. With the St. Paul and San Antonio plants established as Olympia— style plants, the setting for "vig orous eastward growth" would appear complete. The latest development at Olympia came right after New Year's when the brewery's light beer entry, Olympia Gold, with half the calories of its regular Olympia Beer. Test marketing is going on with a broad media support. According to Schmidt, the new brand is an important and integral part of our future expan sion plans." The chief executive estimates the light beer market has doubled in the past year and, at the beginning of 1977, consti tuted about five percent of the overall malt beverage market.

New urban markets last year included Baltimore, Maryland, and St. Louis, Missouri. The first eastern seaboard market was in the Tidewater area of coastal Virginia. In the latter part of last year, Stroh's was involved in the Michi gan referendum on forced depos and market mix with "minimal tor of the National Center For Resource Recovery as well as chairman of the U.S. Brewers Association. A post-election sur vey-indicated that the ' 'gut issue'' in Michigan was "litter" and the real issues of energy and resource utilization did not gather the public attention the issue merited. Last month (January) Chairman Stroh was elected to a third term as chairman of the USBA. Schaefer's New Stance Heileman On The March Showing a hefty 14.9 percent in crease of 675,000 barrels over the 1975 figure of 4,535,000 barrels, the G. Heileman Brewing Co. moved from tenth to ninth posi tion nationally. Most of the strength -shown was in its Old Style, Blatz and the additional Grain Belt which was not included in 1975 activity with Jacob Schmidt. More than $7 million was devoted to extensive moderniza tion and improvements at Heile man plants last year including the barrels as its 1976 figure, the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Co. was down 9.8 percent from its 1975 total of 5,880,755 barrels. But the major plant in La Crosse. With completion of the La Crosse expansion, Heileman's overall capacity will exceed seven million barrels annually.

Schoen, president and chief oper ating officer, "A number of major goals have been accomplished. We achieved two new competitive labor contracts—for two years at Lehigh and three years at Balti more; we brought our new pack aging lines at Lehigh into opera tion in late June, on schedule and on budget; we have completed our MS-16 Heileman has man "reached" the Pacific Coast late last year with the definitive purchase agreement with the Rainier Brewing Co. in Seattle. Completion of the transaction was expected to take place in February and includes certain real estate and other assets related to the brewery operations. Rainier's 1976 sales came to 932,000 barrels which is just about 90 percent of capacity. The price was reported to be $7 million in cash. Rainer will be operated as a separate entity and retain Allan B. Fergu son as chairman and Edwin S. Coombs, Jr., as president and chief executive officer. sumer's free choice of containers in Michigan was felt as a keen loss by the Stroh organization because the company president is a direc brands mentioned above plus Special Export. Continuing its march toward full scale national impact, Heile renewed succeeded in expanding annual sales for 15 of the last 16 years. While acquisi tion of other breweries has been an on-going venture for the La Cross organization, the marketing effort has been highly selective in positioning brands so that they become positive factors in the profit mix, according to Russell G. Cleary made it clear that whole salers are very much part of the picture. ' 'I am particularly im pressed with the strength of the Rainier wholesaler organization (119 independents in eight states) and consider it most important to the future sales success of Rain ier. Heileman will honor the Rainier Wholesaler Appointment Agreements or would offer the Heileman Wholesaler Appoint ment Agreement to Rainier wholesalers. It is expected that some Heileman brands will be brewed at the Seattle plant as early as March or April. In turn, Rainier brands may be brewed at Heileman's St. Paul plant. The Rainier negotiation does not close out acquisition possibili ties for Heileman, Cleary indi cated, but no further comment was offered. He also pointed out late last summer that the brew ery's non-brewing operations ar growing and are profitable. These include six regional bakeries in four states, and a producer of precision metal parts for jet engines. Gottfried Heileman founded the company in 1853. Carling National's First Year Formed in late 1975 with the National Brewing Co. and Carling Brewing Co., the new Carling (Continued on MS-41) Modern Brewery Age, February 14, 1977 America's Malt Beverages. (Continued from MS-16) National Breweries, Inc. rounded out its first full year of operations under the direction of Jerold C. Hoffberger. The combination made sense to the managements of both companies because of the cross-fertilization of individual Danish supervision, Leif Pagh Rasmussen from Copenhagen, Peter Codd, production vice presi dent from Baltimore and the respective brewing teams at the four breweries.

Vice chairman is John 1975 combined figure. Brand breakdowns were not given. There is no question that Carl ing National is digging the turf for a difficult period in which the specialty-premium concept will prove valid or invalid. For this year, the Tuborg Gold emphasis moves out boldly to production in four of the Carling National plants including Phoenix. First brewed in the U.S. by Carling in 1972, Tuborg has been limited in market reach. The new emphasis in nine Western states is backed by master brewer with Strauss, whose experience with Falstaff's Narragansett Brewing Co. goes back several decades. He became Technical brewery since the legendary "Papa Joe" Griesedieck of preWorld War I days. The changes include Lauren Gregg to vice president and the election of Bud Miller to Falstaff brewery assets. While Carling produced anywhere from 60 to 70 percent of its brands in the regular price range, National already had strong market iden tity with such specialties as Colt Light Pilsner Beer. Carling's strategy with U.S.-brewed Tuborg took a decidedly strong turn last year with a revamped package design more closely identifiable with the original Danish design and termed it Tuborg Gold. The overall strategy at Carling Na tional is not really to win a barrelage race, but more in the area of expanding its share of the specialty and premium market in 21* manager of Falstaff's Pacific Region when Kalmanovitz ac quired the firm, Joe Griesedieck is the fourth of his family to head the director and later vice president in charge of all brewing operations at Falstaff until 1975 when he retired and scaled down his work to that of consultant. Strauss also enjoys a national reputation as a brewer among brewers. President of Falstaff at the age of 32 is not a formidable task for Joe Griesedieck Jr. Marketing secretary. Former Chairman Kalmanovitz indicated that he is giving up personal management of Falstaff because he now feels that the organization is "charted on the right course." Schmidt Does A Number When the Beer Can Collectors of America convened for their Bicentennial convention in Phila delphia last September, the prize souvenir was the specially made Schmidt's of Philadelphia Bicen tennial Can which quickly became a super-memento of the event. So 1976 was a good year for C. Schmidt and Sons, Inc. Sales were up two percent for a total in all brands of 3,402,000 barrels. June and July were the heaviest sales months in the company's history, and new one-day shipping records were being set almost in regular sequence. While demand for Schmidt's has surfaced in California from time to time because of its "Coors taste test" advertising campaign, Schmidt's products are marketed in 18 states and the District of Columbia; north and south from Maine to Florida and west to Kentucky. About 90 percent of the production from two plants (one in Cleveland) is Schmidt's of Phila delphia. (See separate story in this Magazine Section).

Modern Brewery Age, February 14, 1977 MS^1 Jl ... 25 Jan. 28, 1977 Number 249 HOP ECONOMY LAGS Except for nature's kindness, which resulted in the biggest U.S. crop in 16 years, the 1976 slow-down in the hop economy would have "been more conspicuous. The crop was 3-3% larger than in 1975 and the dollar value ($48.1 million) was 3-6% greater. The average price inched up only slightly, to 83.3 cents a pound from 83 cents in 1975- These are U.S. Department of Agriculture figures. It was the smallest price increase since 1967. Annual gains since that time have averaged 4# cents.and never.were less than a cent • a pound. But in 1976 Oregon and Calif6-rnia growers actually lost a full cent, to 85 in Oregon and to 87 in California. ,Idaho growers gained nearly 2 cents' a pound, to 84)*.. Washington growers- gained _. one-half cent, to 82)6. But the cost of growing hops"rose nearly % from Sept. 15, 1975, to the same date in 1976, if the USDA parity index is used as a . measurement. To keep pace, the hop price average should have climbed . to 87 cents. Or, if it had•risen by the average rate of the past. . 10 years, it would be nearly 88 cents. The difference totals more than t-2 million hop growers did not receive. CONVENTION COMBINES Despite those numbers and some ominous information about - this year's water supply, growers and their associates and WORK, FUN- .. guests faced the future squarely last week at the 21st 'annual convention in Yakima. As Joe Dougherty of Olympia- Brewing Co. expressed it, "I was once again impressed with the quality and abilities of the growers and the vigor of the industry." . The Hop Growers of America board moved, ahead with plans to host the International Hop Growers Congress for the-first time. Probable dates are Aug. 11-13 and Yakima is the likely site. It will be a western-style affair, different from anything the delegates from.. 12 countries:have experienced in IHGC conclaves. A peak crowd of 504 at the "Happy Days" beer party proved that Yakima's new Convention Center is none too large, and christened the dance floor with typical hop growers1 vigor. Hop Administrative Committeemen set the salable again, at 100% and declined to lower the price, of the reserve pool. Under a new chairman, Pete Rooney of California, HAC based plans on.an optimistic prediction that U.S. "brewers will increase their hop consumption to 35)6 million pounds during the 1977 marketing year, and that expor.ts will'rise and imports will fall. ..... Recognizing the importance of greater efficiency and new • machinery, growers voted to contribute 12 an acre toward further development of a mechanical twiner. HAC appointed a subcommittee to study an HGA request for continuing research on hop drying. Research scientists, active participants throughout the convention, shared with growers economic concerns over such developments as higher alpha varieties. . The trend toward beers with less hops is not unanimous, reported Fritz Maytag, president of Steam Beer Brewing Co., San Francisco. 26 U.

Columbia (USDA 21040) and Willamette (USDA 21041) were released in early spring and a limited amount of planting stock was distributed to various growers. The bulk of the increase during the 3rd year of commercial planting came from the two-acre trials at 4 commercial locations in the Willamette VaUey. The other increase was contributed by a commercial propagator hired by the Oregon Hop Commission. Triploid males for commercial evaluation were planted at several locations in the Willamette Valley (Goschie, John I, Haas) in Oregon and Washington. Another group of triploid nearly sterile males from the 1970 crosses (Cr. 7008, 7009 and 7010) was also planted in Oregon (J. I. Haas, Alluvial Ranch) and in California (Singorotti Ranch) for evaluation of flowering date and cone size stimulation under commercial conditions, Sufficient propagules of USDA 21091, an early triploid Fuggle type, were supplied to Ken Schwabauer, Hubbard, Oregon to plant a 2-acre plot for commercial evaluation and trial brewing of hops begining in 1977. Fred Netter, root propagator received a small amount of prunus free Bullion rhizomes (USDA 21056) for increase under contract by the Oregon Hop Commission. High alpha selections from the 1970 nursery (crosses 7005, 7006 and 7007) were sent to C. E. Zimmermann; Prosser, WA. and Dr. R. Romanko; Parma, ID. for evaluation under field conditions. Dr. Berry, 0SU Entomologist, received propagules of hop genotypes such as Cascade, Fuggle, Comet, Yakima Cluster and several triploid males and females for mite studies. Various foreign researchers (Dr. Neve; Wye College, England; Dr. Wirowski, Poland; Dr. Wagner, Yugoslavia and Dr. Bhat, India) received propagules of recently released hop varieties notably Comet, Cascade and some mildew resist ant males (USDA 64032, 64033, 64037).

Dr. Virowski, Poland supplied propagules of two standard Polish varieties, Lubelska and Nadwislanska; from Wye College we obtained Wye Target, a virus free high alpha hop cultivar that is being extensively planted in England at the present time. Dr. Skotland, Prosser, WA. supplied rhizomes of Prunus free Brewer's Gold (USDA 21116) which was increased in the field and in the greenhouse in 1976. Dr. Romanko, Parma, ID. supplied 24 genotypes from his breeding program for testing under Corvallis conditions. The more promising selections were planted in a 5-hill plot in our seedless yard and the remainder went to a 2-hill observation plot in 1976. data and cone samples will be obtained in 1977. Detailed A home gardner and hop fan from Wisconsin sent us propagules of a Wild Hop that he found near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This genotype will be planted in the germplasm block in 1977. G.E.

Supplier TABLE 2: CD 39 Accession Numbers assigned or eliminated in 1976 New accession numbers: in 1976 (Table 3), A large number of new accession numbers was assigned Foreign hop introductions such as Wye Target, Lubelska, and Nadwislanska, received new accession numbers; so did Pocket Talisman, a mutant from Talisman released by Dr, Romanko in Idaho; the Prunus free Brewer's Gold obtained from Prosser, WA; the Native Wild American hop from Wisconsin and a large number of breeding lines developed during the past 8 or 9 years going back to the 1968 nursery. The outstanding characteristics of all these accessions are listed in the "remark" column of Table 3. One group (accessions 21119M to 21128) are zero alpha selections from the crosses between 19105 x 19046M made in 1970. Only one of these zero alpha lines (accession number 21119M) is a male, Some carry-over material from Dr. Brooks' breeding program going back to 1960 has now been evaluated for a number of years and the best selections received accession numbers, such as 21143 a vigorous high yielding early maturing hop with a relatively high alpha ratio but a rather low alpha + beta total. Other selections from 1961 (21144, 21145, 21146, 21147, 21148) and from 1966 crosses (accession numbers 21149, 21150, 21151, 21152 and 21153M) generally had high vigor, good yield potential and varied in quality potential, Two triploid selections (21165 and 21166) came from crosses between Brewer's Gold and a Brewer's Gold derived selection from the 1969 crossing program. Both had high yield potential but were lacking in quality characteristics, partically alpha acid and storage. They are being maintained however in the polyploid germplasm block in the West section of the main yard. The tetra- ploid self-fertile selection 6668-01 H also received an accession number (21153M) and it will be maintained in the polyploid germplasm block.

A total of 18 crosses was made in 1976 consisting of 6 females crossed to three different males (Table 5), The 6 females represent only 3 different crosses from the 1973 nursery (crosses 7303, 7312, 7314). crosses 7303, 7308 and 7311. The three males again represent Thus, cross 7601 is actually a brother-sister cross whereas the other crosses are between somewhat more distantly related material. Good seedset was obtained in all crosses except 7607; 7608 and 7609 on the female 7312-42 which was rather low in vigor but had a very high alpha acid analysis in 1975. The quality characteristics from two years of analyses of the parents chosen for the 1976 crosses are listed in Table 6. It can be seen that, generally, the alpha analysis and the alpha beta ratios were very high both for males and for females. The most outstanding female in this series of crosses appears to be selection 7312-83 for which duplicate analyses are listed in Table 6. It had a two-year alpha value of nearly 16% and, based on preliminary storage data (6 months at room temperature) had storage stability comparable to 21055 with an ID of 0.40 after 6 months of room temperature as compared to an ID of 0.70 for Cascade stored under identical conditions. Other outstanding selections seem to be 7312-36 and 7312-134 which had an exceptionally high alpha ratio in both years. Selection 7314-12 had good alpha but relatively high beta resulting in an alpha ratio of 70 for the two years. Among the males, alpha ratios exceeding 70% were common except for 7303-165M in 1976. This latter selection, however, was yery early and vigorous and it is hoped that early good yielding high alpha selections can come from crosses involving 7303-165M.

The material came from 1975 crosses (see 1975 USDA report, page 27, Table 5). The first 3 crosses represent inter-crosses of zero alpha selections to study the inheritance of the zero alpha trait by brother-sister mating. The remainder (crosses 7504, 7505, 7506 and 7507) are attempts to study storage stability, cohumulene content on crosses between Cascade (poor storage) and 4 selected males. but the nursery was not trained in 1976. Excellent stand was achieved In 1977 plants will be trained on two strings and detailed data will be obtained. 1*8 tiop Variety World Collection: A number of important hop varieties from many hop growing countries are maintained in a two hill seedless and a four hill seeded variety collection at Corvallis (Tables 7,8). Not all varieties are presently included in the seedless collection because of space limitations. Seedless named variety collection: (Table 7) About 30 foreign and domestic hop varieties are included in this collection and, as expected, yields are quite variable since many varieties are poorly adapted to Oregon conditions. Two new English varieties, Wye Challanger and Wye Northdown (21043 and 21044) had low yields but good alpha analyses. Selections from Yugoslavia, particularly the high alpha varieties Ahil, Atlas, and Aurora from Tone Wagner's program had good alpha analyses, but generally poor yields. Among the outstanding yielders in this collection was the early maturing English variety Density with over 2,000 lbs/acre based on a two-hill plot which, how ever, had rather low alpha acid analyses. The earliest maturing hop in this collection was the English variety Janus which bloomed in mid-June and had cones in mid July (Accession number 62015); it's yield, however, was extremely low as compared to most other varieties in this collection. Seeded Named Variety Nursery: (Table 8) Hops from the World Collections are maintained permanently in the Seeded Variety Nursery, a 4-hill block of domestic and foreign hop varieties. Yields again were quite variable depend ing on the adaptation or disease resistance of various genotypes in this collection. European aroma varieties such as Hallertauer Med.

Janus (62051) again was extremely early with first bloom in early June and full bloom by June 10th, and the yield of Density was below average. 52 Seedless Observation Nursertes: A new hop yard north of the current seeded yard at the banks of the Willamette River was established in 1976 and planted with most of the selections that are presently grown in the seedless Smith yard on Peoria Road. It is anticipated that both yards will be maintained as seedless yards and that one yard will be used in the future primarily for disease testing. Should the new Willamette yard be maintained seedless which we will assess in 1977, most of the advanced yield testing will probably come from this location because it is much easier to transport hops from this location to the picker as compared to crossing the busy highway from the present seedless location in the Smith yard. Advanced Seedless 10-hill observation nursery (Smith Yard): A total of 22 varieties and selections were harvested from this nursery as 5-hill plots (Table 9). Some selections (21091, 21094, 21098) were harvested a second time in order to get an idea of their yield and quality potential under widely differing harvesting dates, Yields in this nursery varied from a low 772 lbs. for USDA 21055 which, however, had excellent alpha acid content, to a high of over 3,000 lbs for USDA 21098. (Fuggle N 21016; The heat treated genotypes in this nursery Bullion 10-A 21056; and Cascade 21092) again had higher yields and alpha acid content than their non-heat treated counterparts. Columbia and Willamette (21040 and 21041) had disappointingly low yields in 1976. Partly due to severe pruning in order to obtain maximum amounts of planting stock in the spring of 1976 for commercial planting. Downy mildew in the cones also was a problem in this nursery particularly with Willamette from a late infection in August due to extremely heavy rains. No control measures were taken late in the season which accounted for the build-up in the cones which also was found in many other selections in this block. 209:1-10 204:1-10 208:23-32 212:23-32 210:1-10 212:1-10 206:1-10 237:23-32 237:23-32 202:1-10 225:12-25 225:12-25 240:12-21 243:12-24 232:23-27 232:28-32 240:23-32 203:1-10 203:1-10 211:1-10 205:1-10 228:23-32 205:23-32 236:12-16 226:23-27 19001 21016 21040 21041 21054 21055 21056 21091 ii 21095 21096 21098 — ii H Bullion BG x EG-XS FuTxFuS FuTxRV-FuS FuTxFuS Cascade (nuclear stock) Cascade Fuggle H L8 x[[XSx(FuxEG-ECS)]xOP] ii BG x[[XSx(FuxEG-ECS)]xOP] M II ii YC x 7K491-OP Cascade (heat treated) It FuTxRV-FuS Bullion 10 A (heat treated) •I Comet x(BGxFu-Colo 2-1) Columbia Willamette Fuggle N (heat treated) Brewers Gold wt/plot X 774 No.plants/plot x 453.6 x 4 green TRAINED, MAY 13.

Ace. or Sel. No. TABLE 5k Seedless 5-hill observation nursery: A large number of selections from the 1970 nursery from crosses 7003, 7004, 7005, 7006 and 7007 were evaluated for the second mature year in this seedless location and yields are based on harvesting the whole 5-hill plot in each case. Selection with an asterisk in this nursery (Table 10) were also grown at Prosser and/or Idaho for advanced evaluation, A number of selections in this nursery had alpha acid levels in excess of 10% and some even exceeded 12 or 13%. Unfortunately, many of the high alpha types had only moderate yield levels with few exceptions such as 7003-15, 7003-38, 7003-81, 7003-143, 7004-75, 7005-70, 7006-278. Alpha acid production calculated from yield and alpha acid percentage, varied from less than 100 lbs for one to 300 lbs/acre, Additional selections will be made from this material in the spring of 1977 in order to reduce the large number of entries and to concentrate on the most promising types. Cone infection by Downy Mildew was prevalent throughout this material but some selections showed excellent resistance while others were extremely susceptible. Most selections in this group were medium late to late in maturity, but some early maturing ones had surprisingly good yields such as 7003-243, 7007-175 and 7007-318, Others had little or no downy mildew in the cones, excellent yield levels and moderate to adequate alpha acid content such as 7003-75, 7003-81, 7003-143, 7003-250, 7004-75, 7006-278. A comparison of the 37 High Alpha Selections grown for the second year at Yakima, Prosser and Corvallis is presented in Table 11. Some genotypes received good ratings at all three locations such as: 7003-243, 7005-194, 7006-96, 7006-356, 7006-445. locations. Others, however, looked good at only one or possibly two There were some exceptionally high alpha acid values at one or more locations, notably 7005-194, 7006-311, 7006-392, 7006-450, Two of these high alpha selections, namely 7005-194 and 7006-311 had excellent storage stability both from the John I.

These selections included the 9 zero alpha selections (7001-13 to -123), one selection from cross 7005 (selection 7005-194) and several selections from the cross 7006 plus a number of males. The two previously mentioned high alpha good storing selections 7005-194 and 7006-311 are also included in this material. Some of the selections especially, the 8 zero alpha females and the zero alpha male 7001-50M have now received permanent USDA accession numbers and will be transferred to the germplasm block in 1977. Others will be evaluated for one more year and the best ones will receive permanent USDA accession numbers and will also be transferred to the Germplasm block in 1978. Germplasm Collection Nursery: A number of valuable male and female genotypes are grown in two-hill plots in a permanent germplasm collection (Tables 13 & 14). This material includes genotypes with high and low alpha, high and low cohumulene, early and late maturing material, resistance to various major hop diseases (mildew, verticil!ium wilt, etc.), and other traits that for some reason appear to be valuable for future breeding purposes or genetic research, Detailed agronomic and quality data will hopefully be obtained from this material on an annual basis and summarized as it has been done in these two tables. This material will also form the basis for the USDA permanent hop germplasm repository which will be started in 1977, 31:5-6 34 II 35 II 36 37 H 39 II 40 II 41 42 II 43 II 44 51:7-8 19105 64007 7001-13 -39 -47 -54 -56 -67 -77 -81 -123 7005-194 54:11-12 33 13-14 II 34 M 35 37:13-14 39:13-14 43:13-14 46 49 Ii 52 7003-68M -225M -245M -256M 7005-121M 21108M 7006-179M -211M -323M -430M It II II 65009 x 64035M 65009 x 63015M 65009 x 63015M II II li 65009 x 19046M 19105 x 19046M II It II 11 65009 x 64035M 65009 x 63015M ii H H ii H ii •I ii 19105 x 19046M (LGpS x Fu-FuS)x EG-XS LGpS x Fu-FuS Name or Pedigree e 6/30 6/25 22 6/28 4 16 30 18 6 4 6/25 10 4 6/28 14 30 14 6 4 8 14 72 83 23.2 10.3 47.8 47.6 28.1 25.0 50.6 32.8 29.2 50.1 51.1 20 18 18 16 8 - 22 24 22 20 - 59.6 22 22 - - 27 18 18 - 2 2 2 2 2 67 64 38 41 33 34 62 1 64 64 78 73 72 65 27.8 45.4 50.9 63.7 2 L L M M 512 725 832 832 661 672 P G G P G G 2 45.4 23.4 24.9 23.0 22 ' 36 L M 821 60.7 22 22 20 4 2 2 4 2 3 6-12 24 30 12 24 12-24 L G 0.5 20 16 20 12 12 3 12-20 2 5.4 5.5 3.5 5.5 4.9 6.5 18 20 0.06 9.6 9.8 12.1 14.5 12.7 12.0 12 12 12 2 24-30 24 24-30 12-24 L M M M M 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 0.5 0.6 0.7 1.3 2.4 0.9 1.4 0.07 0.7 0.2 15 26 10 18 1 9 3 a /a+8 72 20 20 20 20 30 24-30 12 24 12-24 24-30 G VG G P G P P G P G G 6 Quality 4.9 M M M L L S a 1109 2218 960 661 864 352 501 832 491 992 608 Sfpt.

Oec. 1974. 6U Selections from the 1973 nursery; The 1973 nursery which was field planted in the Spring of 1974 has now been evaluated for two mature years plus one baby year and final selections have been made (Tables 15 & 16). Male selections from the 1973 nursery: Major emphasis on selections in this nursery was on high alpha:beta ratio and high alpha acid content. A number of crosses produced excellent offspring that met the selection criteria, t particularly crosses 7302, 7303, 7304, 7308, 7309, 7311, 7312 and 7314. The cutoff point, generally, was an alpha ratio of at least 70, although in a few instances selections were saved with alpha ratios slightly below 70. The highest alpha ratio was found in cross 7309 (derived from Northern Brewer) and in crosses 7311 and 7314 (derived from USDA 21055). The 3 males that were used for the 1976 crosses are also listed in this table, namely, 7303-165M, 7308-23M and 7311-141M, Male selections were planted in a 2-hill observation plot adjacent to the male germplasm nursery and continued evaluation will reduce the number of these selections in the future. Female selections from the 1973 nursery; In this group the emphasis was similar to that for the males, namely high alpha acid content and high alpha ratio. A large number of selections exceeded 12% alpha acid content for 2 years based on 5-cone analyses. In this group are also included the 6 females that were used as parents in the 1976 crosses namely 7303-07, 7312-36, -42, -83, -134, and 7314-12. Approximately one third of these selections were planted in 5-hill plots in the seedless Willamette Yard and the remainder are in a two-hill observation plot in the main yard. On the average, the highest alpha acid content was found in selections from crosses 7311 and 7312 (on USDA 21055). It remains to be seen whether any of these selections will show substantially improved yield levels as compared to their mother, 21055, -149M -153M -159M -165M -52M -105M -135M -138M -28M -46M 7303-09M -144M -152M -153M -155M -168M -171M -174M -183M -184M -186M -I88M -127M -95M -105M -125M 7:19b 29a 33 a 41a 8:34a 9:15b 17a 22b 24b 27b 30b 32a 33b 35a 39b 40a 41a 42a 25b 62013x21110M 62013x21109M 4:23a 33a 41a 46b 5:20a 29a 34a 44a 45a 6:20a 24a 24b 7302-16M -36M -52M -63M -77M 62013x21108M 2:22a 3:43b 7301-81M -191M Comet x Bu-ZS Comet x[(BGxEG-XS)xZS] VE 1 VE L L M M L 54.8 50.1 50.9 52.6 56.3 57.3 61.9 65.4 52.8 M 62.1 L 48.0 57.4 55.5 52.9 53.5 53.5 41.0 56.2 47.3 51.4 54.3 59.0 49.1 58.3 61.4 56.5 51.8 53.8 55.0 57.5 54.5 49.7 VE M E E L L E L VE L L E VE L L L L M L E M E L ML 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 3 4 1 3 2 1 1 1 2 1 3 2 Vigorj^ 1975;1976 Maturity 17.1 14.3 19.5 23.3 19.9 23.0 20.9 16.0 17.5 16.7 21.6 19.7 18.3 19.2 20.3 17.3 16.1 20.1 21.6 20.3 22.4 12.6 21.1 21.2 18.9 27.2 19.8 19.3 17.2 16.8 23.7 20 1975 76 78 76 69 73 71 73 79 79 76 72 74 69 72 71 82 70 73 76 68 72 74 76 77 69 74 75 73 72 76 ratio 70 71 48. 51. 52.1 52.5 59.5 57.9 58.3 56.6 56.8 44.5 60.0 57.5 50.8 41.0 59.7 58.0 51.1 50.6 60.5 58.1 62.2 57.1 53.6 61.8 57.9 54.8 50.8 48.9 ~uuanty Pruned April 12, 13, 19; Trained May 18, 1976.

Again, as in the previous year, yield levels were disappointingly low particularly in the non-tilled portion of replication 4, and also in the tilled portion of replication 4. Weed control, particularly for the combination Simaaine (applied in the fall) and Paraquat (applied in the spring) was adequate. Close spacing, however, seems to be not a very practical approach to growing Cascade, since hills spread out within a row and it is very difficult to control bottom growth in such an arrangement without cross cultivation. In 1977 the test will be altered; the 3 foot spacing will be removed and the plot will be cross-cultivated once in the spring; afterwards the test will only consist of tilled vs. non-tilled treatment with Paraquat as the main chemical for weed control. 73 Table 17= Reduced Tillage-Herbicide Trial with Cascade 1976 (P = Paraquat; S = Simazine) Harvest date Sept.8; Pruned, April 7; Trained, May 17) Repli cation I Location Row:Hill Treatment Tilled: Close Close sp + P + sp + P 42:73b-77b 43:73b-77b s Normal sp + P + s Normal, Control Close ,Control Normal, P Not Tilled:Normal,Control Close , P + S Close iControl Close ..P Normal;P Normal, P + S II Tilled: Normal, Control Close >P Close ,P + S Normal >P Normal, P + S Not Tilled:Close >P Normal, P Normal, Control Normal, P + S Close j? + S III Tilled: Normal P + S Normal P Close ,P + S Close, P Normal Control Close> Control Not Til led:Normal P Normal P + S Closei Control Close.
