Many By-Products Return

Many By-Products Return
 l Profit to Citrus Growers ] To offset the serious losses in the citrus fruit industry occurring
 through bruised, undersized, or over
 sized oranges, grapefruit, and lem
 ons usually allowed to go to waste, the Bureau of Chemistry of the Uni
 ted States Department of Agricul-
 ture has investigated methods for getting by-products that will return a profit to the grower Some of these products require a preliminary ex- pense for equipment, but 1t has been demonstrated that the investment can soon be made profitable.
 Grapefruit juice, which is increas- ing in popularity, can be easily made if directions for pressing. straining, pasteurizing, clarifying, sweetening, and bottling the juice are carefully followed. These directions may be obtained from the department A blend of grapefruit juice with logan berry juice has been found popular. Orange vinegar is a satisfactory sub- 3stitute for apple vinegar and should be made in districts where many cull oranges would otherwise be a total floss. Citric acid is a valuable com mercial article which can De made ffo1n, cul1 lemnns' or Emesy If proper apparatus is installed.
 Other by-products from citrus fruits often wasted include candied citrus peel, for use as, coufection or by bakers, in place of citruu, mar maEades, iellies, buffers, and pectin.

Glass Stomach Indicates rs.
 Digestibility of Foods

It is now possible to determine The
 digestibility of the protein in foods and whether or not it is necessary to cook them, without conducting fee1- ing tests, thus saving much time and expense, say the specialists of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, who have adapted a chemical method to this work The method Is carried out by the use of laboratory apparatus that might be called an artificial stomach, since by it's use it is pos sible to initiate at least part of the digestive processes. \#..-.
 The proteins to be tested, those from beans for instance, are placed in glass containers m a dilute solu- ton, of hydro-chloric aeids similar to that found normally in the stomach, the proper quantity of pepsin is added, and the mixture Is placed in an incubator where the temperature is kept at the same point as that of the human stomach, about 37 degrees centigrade. After a certain number of hours the contents of the container are sampled and analysed. The di- gestive effect is measured by the ratio of what is known as amino nj trogen to total nitrogen. By running through cooked and uncooked pro tein from beans it is possible to de- terrnine which is the more easily acted upon by the chemicals in this artificial stomach, and, consequently,
 by the stomach itself. -
 After the food has been acted upon by the pepsin and hydrochloric
 acid, it is treated with trypsin and a
 dilute alkaline solution, as nearly as possible, like the digestive juices
 found in the small intestine. This
 second process tells the investigator
 what the probable digestive action on any particular food will be in the intestine. f- In the human or animal body
 there are, of course, other factors that enter into the digestion of food
 or feeds, but ttthe artificial stomach will tell if one protein is more di- gestible than another and whether it

Put on Balanced Ration
 Sows put on balanced rations raised Fl per cent more pigs than those receiving the same manage ment but fed on low protein rations in "Save the Pig" campaign car ried on by extension workers in Kansas last spring. Narrowing re- cords were kept by 53 farmers. Ac- cording to a report received by the United States Department of Az riculture, 263 sows on 29 farms re- ceived corn and protein supplement of either tankage, skim milk, alfal- ia, or linseed-oil meal. These 2G3 sows farrowed 2,669 pigs, an aver age of 10 to a litter; of these pigs, 1,713 were weaned, an average of 6.5 pigs per litter. On Il farms, 166 sows received mostly corn ra- tions, farrowing 1,194 pigs, an aver age of 2 to the litter; of these pigs, 1,645 were weaned, an average of 3.8 pigs to a litter.

Louis Furr is under heavy
guard awaiting the outcome Of
motion by his counsel Attorney
Jack Lee for new trial. Argu.
ment on the motion will be made
in about two months.
In the meantime. Milton Furr,
confessed slayer of Irving Hatcher.
will be placed on trial here before
Judge Latham Fletcher.
The jury brought in its verdict
tonight after celebrating one
hour and casting only one
ballot. Under the laws Of Virginia.
the jury may fix the penalty. 1t
was not expected that the death
penalty would be recommended
since Henry Taylor, foreman Of the
Jury is a Quaker and his faith op.
poses capital punishment.
As the jury filed into the court
room that was filled with n crowd
that had grown weary by an all
day session there was a tenseness
that was disturbed only by the
droning of the clerk when he called
the roll,
When the verdict was announced
Mrs. Irving Hatcher, widow of the
man Furr was convicted Of staying,
stood up ten feet distant from
Young Furr and looked him square
ly in the face. Observers said
"she did not bat an. eye"
The mother of the man stood
near by. As the full force of the
verdict made itself felt on her
mind, she became rigid, but showed
no other sign Of emotion.
The most pathetic figure In the
courtroom was pretty Pauline Gray,
sweetheart OF the young man. She
wept quietly and leaned for support
on the shoulder Of the mother. Furr
received the verdict stoicaily.
