For instance, cotton residues col lected at gins have substantial energy potential, said Dr. Wayne LePori, assistant professor of ag ricultural engineering, and Dr. Ronald Lacewell, associate professor Radio/hack Radio ^ 1125 Villa Maria 846-7384 Open 10-6 Mon.-Sat.

About eight times more energy theoretically is available in the gin trash from stripped cotton than is required for processing operations at the gin. The efficiency of the system used to convert the trash to usable energy would determine the actual amount of recoverable energy. A look at the total amount of cotton and cotton residues produced at gins in Texas shows the possibilities. Three to four million bales of cotton usually are produced in the state each year. It is estimated that up to four billion pounds of trash are col lected at the gins in the state directly from the ginning process. Since a single pound of cotton trash has about 7,000 to 8,000 BTUs of theoretical heat value, the total energy value of this trash would amount to more than 30 trillion TAPE RECORDERS OPEN REEL CASSETTE 8-TRACK! 2095 O ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE “Where satisfaction is sta n da rd equ i p ment" 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 One day WANT AD RATES 10c per Word.

This is about three-fourths of the total energy requirements in a typical year for all Texas state agen cies and state-supported colleges and universities. A few cotton gins are already using the cotton trash for energy, primar ily through capturing heat from in cinerators and using the heat for dry ing the cotton lint, according to LePori. Looking at the long term, there are other ways to use the resi dues for energy production on a larger scale, such as pyrolysis (burn ing in the absence of air) and fermen tation. LePori and Lacewell are studying other types of crops and crop resi dues as possible energy sources. Supported by the Center for Energy and Mineral Resources at Texas A&M, the study aims to establish geographical densities for these crops and residues. Later phases will evaluate the economic and technical feasibility for collecting, transport ing and storing residues for central energy processing plants. Texas is one of the top three ag ricultural producing states. In 1975 more than 20 million acres were planted to four major crops — cot ton, wheat, grain sorhgum and corn, the Texas Crop and Livestock Re porting Service reported, quantities of crop residues are duced. b; Can these wastes be collected; processed into usable forms energy in an economical manner, will it take more energy to gatl and process the material thanwfl generated? Only time and study will tell. Indications are that tradition energy sources will continue to crease in price as supplies are pleted, a situation which will m alternate energy sources more tractive. New tower to he dedicated Top University officials will join Henry L. Newman, director of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwest Region, for the dedication of the new control tower at Texas A&M’s Easterwood Airport tomorrow. Easterwood Tower Chief Bobby Clay said Newman will join Clyde Wells, chairman of the Texas A&M University System Board of Re gents, College Station Mayor Lor- nece Bravenec and other dignitaries for the ceremonies at 10 a.m. under the awning at the north end of the main airport terminal. Newman, who will give the dedi catory address, has received several citations for outstanding federal service, particularly for his work in program coordination and inter governmental relations. He recipient of one of the top ten “Civil Servants of the Year” awards in 1970. A veteran of 29 years service with the FAA, Newman has held a suc cession of key management posts. After joining the old CAA (Civil Av iation Administration) in 1946, he worked in Washington, Alaska, New York and Kansas before coming to Fort Worth in 1965.
