Microscopy’s Worth
Told Short Course
One of the main roles of micro
scopy in the enforcement program
of the Texas Feed Control Service
is the examination of customer-for
mula feeds, according to Reed Mc
Donald, director of the Feed Con
trol Service at College Station.
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. Pro-

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.

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.
