Prize Bull Gets
 New Glands .Translanted

AMES, Iowa,-(P)-Royal Ru- pert 99th, a prize S38,000 Here. ford bull, has had something new added-a pituitary gland.
 Prince Rupert, always a prize bull but never a father, underwent an operation yesterday aimed at correcting his sterility.
 Dr. M. A. Emmerson of the To- wa State College veterinary de- partment performed the operation, which was the transplanting' of the pituitary gland of a slaught- cred bull into the right flank of Prince Rupert.
 The veterinarian said il would be a week or so before the sue cess of the transplanting could be determined. it will take several months more to learn if the oper. ation corrects the Sterility.
 In just an hour and three-quar- ters yesterday, Dr. Emmerson re- moved the pituitary gland from the base of the brain of a two year-old bull, slaughtered at Des Moines, rushed the gland here and transplanted it in Prince Ru- pert.
 The prize animal is owned by Gov Roy Turner of Oklahoma.
