Woman Peace Corps Worker Shocked By TTFs Bulletin A Peace Corps worker in Ecua dor is wondering how the Texas Transportation Institute knew she needed information on earthen home construction. Miss Ann R. McCarthy, a native of Massachusetts, received the 36- page bulletin on earth houses last week. She airmailed a letter back to Texas asking: “How did you know I was with the Peace Corps in Cuenca, Ecua dor? How did you know I needed such information?” Actually, the girl’s mother read about the booklet and asked the TTI office to send her daughter the brochure, according to Louis J. Horn, information representa tive with the Texas Engineering Experiment Station. Such requests are common, re ports Horn. Letters regarding the ations same publication have come from such places as Africa, Brazil, Col ombia, Philippine Islands, Bolivia, Jamaica, Somali Republic and num erous spots in the United States. Regarding the booklet, Miss Mc Carthy said the 16 Peace Coi'ps engineers in Ecuador “had no in formation of this type except the textbooks used in college.” “I’m from Massachusetts and studied there. So my information on construction, strength, etc., of materials used here is very little. Earthquakes and tremors are new to me,” she added. T'he brochure explains in step- by-step fashion how to construct earth homes.

Ag Team To Attend Dakota Range Meet A&M will be represented by its range plant identification team and six student delegates at the annual American Society of Range Man agement meeting Feb. 12-15 in Rapid City, S.D. Team members are Bill Roberts of Lockhart, Farris Nixon of El dorado, Floyd Waller of Mason and Dwain Liles of San Antonio. The six delegates are Herschel McDonald, Mike Macke and Gary Spence of San Antonio, Ernest Ni- mitz of Eldorado,* Kenneth Sparks of Gunter and Doyce Cooke of Lov ing, N.M. Dr. Don Huss, team coach and assistant professor in the Depart ment of Range and Forestry, said the plant identification group will compete against about 12 teams re presenting other major agricultur al schools. He said the students will be re quired to identify 100 range speci mens, give the scientific names of each, know the grazing value and tell if the plants are native or in troduced, perennials or annuals. The team and delegates will leave here Friday and return on Feb. 16. System Personnel Attend Conference Thirteen A&M agricultural sci entists will participate in the 10 th annual agricultural chemicals con ference Feb. 12-14 at Texas Tech College. College animal husbandmen are in the middle of an experiment to demonstrate the importance be tween milk production and com position and weaning weight of beef calves. So far, overall results show what the researchers have known all along. That is, a cow must be a good milker to produce a quick growing calf. More specifically, if a cattleman wants a 400-pound calf in seven months, the cow should come up with seven and a half pounds of milk per day or more. J. K. Riggs, who is supervising the project, says about 400 head of European breed beef cows and European-Brahman crosses are be ing used in the tests. Riggs and two graduate assist ants, Hollis Klett and T. R. Mason, have found that the cross breeds are better milk bakers than the straight breeds. The comparison is an average of 8.68 pounds for the crosses to 4.14 pounds for the straight breeds in morning milk ings in the sixth month of lacta tion. Straight breeds involved are Hereford, Angus, a few Short horns, Brahmans and Santa Gert- rudis. Figures for the 400 head as a group are milk production ranges from 1.5 pounds to 18 pounds per day for individuals. Butterfats varied widely — 2 to 8 per cent. Solids-not-fat were more stable at 8 to 10 per cent. Riggs says they also have found that as a cow grows older, her milk production tends to increase. NSF Awards Large Grant A&M has received a grant of $11,285 from the National Science Foundation for a program in geol ogy, President Earl Rudder an nounces. Fred E. Smith, professor in the Department of Geology and Geo physics, will direct the “high abil ity high school” program. The study is open to 36 boys who will be high school seniors next fall. Smith will provide ap plication forms on request. High school records and special tests will figure in the selection of the geology students. The program includes two field trips. Studies will be conducted in the Central Mineral Region of Texas and the Arbuckle Mountains in Oklahoma.
