New Laboratory To Test Barley Hybrids Opens in Canada
The Barley Improvement Institute, sponsored by the brewing and malting industries of Canada, formally opened a new $8,000 research laboratory on June 2. Directed by T. J. Harrison, the institute aims to elevate Canadian barley quality to world-leading standards by evaluating hybrids with tests on moisture, protein, age extract, and related factors. About 50 samples daily will be processed, with comparisons to standard varieties like OAC21 to account for climate and soil differences. The lab will also advance the National Barley Contest initiated in 1946, with 1949 regulations already set for a single-carload entry of 1,687.
