The article presents the results achieved in the competition originating from theOlomoucdistrict and aimed at better quality and higher crops of barley for malting plants. Good results in 1959 can be explained by increased interest of barley growers as well as by favourable weather conditions prevailing during the vegetation period. The spell of rains in the ripening period reduced the crop and spoiled slightly the colour of the grain, but did not deteriorated the quality of barley. The results are compared with the previous years and are analysed in tables and diagrams.(In Czech, English summary only)

Slovakiahas its own laboratory for pure yeast cultures in Bratislava. The laboratory supplies breweries with pure pitching yeast and serves also various research institute and high schools. It maintains under standard conditions a collection of approximately 60 types of pure brewing yeasts divided in 4 groups. The laboratory cultivates also many other yeast microbes for scientific institutes. This collection includes both pathogenic and non pathogenic sorts of various origins. Pure yeast cultures for wine industry, distilleries and yeast factories are also available. The recent addition to the collections are fungi of various species.(In Slovak, English...
