Speaking at the fourth annual Feed Microscopy Short Course which opened Monday and closes Saturday here, McDonald said these feeds, under terms of the Texas Feed Law, are guaranteed not in the basis of chemical an alysis but on the basis of ingredi ents. These ingredients must be oif standard or better quality unless otherwise labeled. Compute Yield The usual practice, he said is to compute the chemical yield on the basis of quantity and type of ingredients and submit the sample to the chemical laboratory for chemical analysis. If there are any deviations from the computed chemical yield, a microscopy analy sis is then conducted on the sample. Another area in which micro scopy is used is in the case of ani mal by-products, such as meat and bone meal in which it is suspicion- ed that the manufacturer has add ed excessive quantities of blood meal for the purpose of boosting- protein, McDonald said. Talks on First Day The first day of the short course was devoted to talks, with the balance of the program made up of work sessions for the approxi mately 20 persons attending.

E. Brown, microscopist with the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station, State Chemist Laboratory, College Sta tion. Discussing protein content vari- tations in sorghum grain, Dr. W. O. Trogdon, head of the Department of Agronomy, said wide differences can occur in grain groVvn in the same general area. The average protein content of sorghum grain is 12 per cent. Factors Important Environmental factors and fer tilizer applications, especially ni trogen, can have a marked influ ence on the protein percentages of the grain, the agronomist said. “While there may he frequent exceptions, protein percentages tend to be higher in dry seasons and with increased rates of nitro gen fertilizers. Conversely, wet seasons would tend to cause the protein percentages to be lower, unless the effect was offset, in part, by higher rates of nitrogen fertilizer,” Trogdon said. Watkins Speaks Other speakers were Dr. G. M. Watkins, director of agricultural instruction; Dr. L. R. Richardson, professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition; Dean L. Mingus, microscopist and chief chemist, Burrus Feed Mills, Fort Worth; and Jim Ridlehub^r, micro scopist and chemist, Western Cot ton Oil Co., Abilene.

CAMPUS CLEANERS Researchers of the Texas Trans portation Institute have conducted a research study of the economic impact of Stemmons freeway in Dallas. The work was done by Russell :f. Thompson, William G. Adkins, .md James E. Frierson. Their analysis of real estate sales bowed that unimproved lots in creased 21 per cent in value. Such lots abutting the freeway sold for about 55 per cent more than non abutting lots. All lots of the area studied were intended for commer cial and industrial development. The survey indicated also that the freeway will have a definite and measurable effect on land values in the future. The reasearch study was con ducted for the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads.
