WILL STUDY
MEAT VALUES
North Dakota Is Represented
in Meat Survey ut
Chicago

Chicago, Sept. P)--What
makes for quality and palatability Of
meat is Il problem that twenty-nine
state agricultural experiment sta
tions are going to tiy and solve.
Dean +. Il. Mumford of the Uni
versity Of Missouri who is chairman
of special committee of livestock
and meat authorities has mapped
out plans for this study in a state
ment received by the National Live
stock and Meat Board.
No one experiment station will at
tempt solution of the problem but
each will engage in some phases Of
it. Subjects for investigation include
feeding, breeding, methods Of slaugh-
tering and curing, methods of cook
ing, and many others. First, how
ever, it will be necessary to defin-
itely establish what quality and pala-
tibility really are. This is one of
the greatest difficulties facing the
experimenters, for at the present
time there is no standard Of mea-
surement of quality and palatability
Of meats.
Name Committee
Those serving with Dean Mumford
on the special committee, which is
known as the Cooperative Meat Re-
search Committee, are Z. w. Sheets,
chief Of the division of animal hus-
bandry, Bureau Of Animal Industry,
U. S. Department of Agriculture, se-
cretary; Prof. NJ. d. Helser, chief of
meat Investigations, iowa State Col
lege; Prof. H. j. Gramlich, Animal
Husbandman, University of Nebras-
ka, and DR.. c. Robert Moulton, di-
rector Of the department Of Nutri-
ton, Institute of American Meat
Packers.
Agricultural experiment stations
which have signified their intention
of taking part are Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mime
sofa, New Mexico, New Jersey, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Missouri, Mississippi,
Montana, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia,
West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
and New Hampshire.
Practically IS per cent of the ma
tons meat products come from the
states participating in this study.

Commander Rodgers staunchly de-
Tended the navy department in it's

"The men in the naval air service
as in other branches do not need

holding back" declared Commander
Rodgers.

Devine Sees Success in
Fair Tour

North Dakota's advantages will
have been brought home to Ill 900
persons living in Minnesota, Iowa
and Illinois, by the time the three
county exhibits now touring county
fairs in those states return home,
immigration Commissioner j., NJ. De-
vine said On his return from week
spent with the North Dakota exhi-
bits.
Last week the Stutsman county
exhibit was showing at Bird Island,
Renville county, Minnesota; LaMoure
county at Marshalltown, Marshall
county, Iowa, and the North Western
Development Association, which in
cludes Ward and the several coun-
ties in that section, was at Nashua,
Big Four county, Iowa." Devine said.
"This week they will, in the order
above stated, show at Pipestone
county, Minnesota; Missouri Valley,
Harrison county, Iowa, and Guthrie
Center, Guthrie county, Iowa.
Exhibits Interesting
"The exhibits are interesting and
pleasingly arranged. All grain is
shown in the straw as well as in
seed form. The vegetable and fruits,
which include pumpkins, squash,
canteoupes, apples and crab apples,
attract as great attention as do the
grain and industrial exhibits. The
latter includes coal briquettes. clay,
chinaware, Hebron Face Brick, scoria
and State Penitentiary twine. Each
county also carries, in open boxes,
samples of it's own soil, both surface
and subsoil, placed where it can be
handled and examined by the farm
visitors, and hundreds Of these visi-
tors make this examination every
day.
each tent has registry book in
which are taken the names and ad-
dresses of those who show especial
interest and express desire and in
tention of making home in a new
state. We expect that each exhibit
will return with 1900 of such names,
or a total of 1900. A follow-up cam
paign of letters and literature will
then 60 out to these prospective
home seekers in the late fall and
winter months.
