The professional public, and even more so its academic part, should commemorate not only the general anniversaries of significant events, but especially such dates and such personalities that are connected to it itself. The main intention of this contribution is to commemorate significant personalities of agriculture and food industry on Ingr´s Days, and also in future years. Professor Bohumil Hošpes was born 125 years ago in Nové Město na Moravě. The professional public and students should associate him with the field of distilling and starch production. Together with engineer Pecold, Professor Hošpes obtained a patent for the Hošpes-Pecold scales, which are used to determine the starch content of potatoes and are still used today.
