FOEWARD

Interest in the services and mutual helpfulness of BIG continues at a high level.

At the BIG biennial meeting Janua.ry 9, 1964, in Seattle, 71 persons signed the attendance roster, and some no doubt were absent at the time the sheet was signed.

BIG is indebted to the National Canners Association and Northwest Canners and Freezers Association for their co-sponsorship of the meeting; especially to Gecil Tulley of Northwest Canners and Freezers Association; to Edw3.n Crosby of National Canners Association, and to John Atkin, Chairman of the Program Committee of BIG.

The cooperation and encouragement of members of the National Pea Improvement Association (PIA), who have held one-day meetings biennially in association with BIG, is deeply appreciated. Secretary-Treasurer of PIA is M. G. Parker; President is James Baggett.

Attention of members is called to the list of stocks for exchange and stocks desired. For addresses, refer to the membership list.

Members should feel free to transmit ideas for improvement of BIG to the chairman or any member of the committee.

We wish to recognize the continued support and cooperation of research workers in other nations. We hope that the services of BIG will continue to offset the somewhat troublesome aspects of costs and of time delays associ- ated with international correspondence.

We urge all members to contact their associates and to let them know that they are welcome to join BIG.

When reports reach the chairman after typing has begun, but before completion of the annual report, they will appear at the end of the report section, and will therefore be out of alphabetical order.

Program Conraittee for Next (Biennial) 3 Meei.ing oí' i:iC

The BIC Coordinating Committee authorized appointment of the following members on a Program Committee to develop a program for the next biennial meeting: E. Crosby, Chairman; Ifai. Hollis; Iver Jorgensonr Walter Pierce: Art Sprague.

Germ Plasm Committee of BIC

The BIC Coordinating Committee authorized appointment of members to serve on a Bean Germ Plasm Committee, hereafter to be considered a standing committee of the cooperative. The long-time objectives are:

1. Development of a gene list to be incorporated from time to time in the annual reports;

2. To serve as a liaison and information committee to service in any way the committee sees fit, the National Seed Storage Laboratory, Fort Collins, Colorado, and the Regional Plant Introduction Station, Pullman, Washington.

Members of the Bean Germ Plasm Committee are: S. Honma, Chainnan; Dermot Coyne; F. L. Smith; Don Wallace; S. H. Yamell.

Dr. Honma suggests that he, or members of his conmittee, be contacted relative to information, suggestions, contributions, to facilitate work of his committee.

Correspondence frcxn foreign monbers, relative to gene designations, or contributions to the gene list, should be addressed directly to Dr. S. Honma, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan.

Na':ional Seed Stoi-age Laboratory (The following information has come from the National Seed Laboratory)

"The National Seed Storage Laboratory was established by an act of Congress during the 1956-57 session, and was completed in October 1958. The finished laboratory was the fulfillment of an idea originating with the National Research Council, and ^»^ich had the support of various federal, state, and private agencies throughout the country.

Our agricultural history is replete with losses of valuable germ plasm. Of the various clovers introduced into the United States during the past 60 to 70 years only two percent are available today. Sixty-six percent of the introduced oats have been lost and approximately 90 percent of the introduced soybeans are gone. Similar losses have occurred with many other crops. It is to prevent such future losses that the National Seed Storage Laboratory was established.

Preservation of germ plasm is accomplished through the collection of seeds of known value. All types, agronomic, horticultural, forest, and esthetic types are qualified for storage, but only seeds are stored. Research men may subndt obsolete varieties, current varieties, breeding lines, and genetic stocks. Once in the laboratory, the seeds beccane the property of the Federal Government and are available to any research man in the United States.

Germination tests are run on inccaning seed and they are then placed in pint containers in one of eleven cold storage rooms which are maintained at temperatures from 20^ to 40^ F. and 35 percent R. H. During periodic intervals over the years the seeds will be tested for germination in our well-equipped germination laboratory. In the event that deterioration does occur, contracts wi3J. be made with some seed producing agency to replenish our stocks with fresh seed obtained from controlled plantings of present stocks. Under the ideal conditions prevailing in the Laboratory it is unlikely that any regeneration will be required until after 10 to 20 years of storage.

The eleven cold storage rooms are equipped with racks and trays. If each lot of seed were put up in the pint cans in use the capacity would be approximately 250,000 lots. This may be expanded upwards to a million or more by storing a number of small-seeded lots in a single container or by storing in envelopes.

In addition to the storage of germ plasm the staff of the laboratory is charged with research work on seed longevity. At the present four research projects on various phases of seed deterioration are under way. These involve the use of gases and vacuum in sealed cans stored with different moist\ire contents at different temperatures, and the storage of various species under 9 variations in temperature and humidity.

The present staff consists of two professional men, two sub-pro- fessionals and two secretaries. As the storage load and research work increases, additional sub-professionals and stenographic help may be required."

For further information it is suggested that contact be made with Edwin James, National Seed Laboratory, Fort Collins, Colorado.
