gives promise as means OF increasing
gains and feed efficiency by as much as
AZ per cent.
This was revealed recently in re-
port of study conducted by H. G.
Luther, director of research farm in
Terre Haute, Ind, delivered in Chicago
at the annual meeting of the American
Society of Animal Protection. The study
was undertaken to compare two re-
Gently developed methods of admins
tering the drug. One system developed
at Iowa State College uses synthetic,
stilbestrol, mixed in protein supple
ment and fed in daily ration to steers
being finished for market. The other
employs natural sex hormoneS in COM
bination made up in pellet form and
implanted under the loose skin between
the jawbones of the steer. This method
was developed by Michigan State Col
lege.
Luther reported that steers receiving
the implanted compound gained AZ
per cent faster than untreated steers.
Animals which received the stilbestrol
mixed in protein supplement showed IS
per cent faster gains.
Higher Feed Efficiency
The treated steers had higher feed
efficiency than the animals receiving
no hormoneS. The implant groups re-
uuired % to 26 per cent less feed per
pound of gain than the control group.
The oral-fed group required 20 per cent
less feed per pound of grain, according
to the report.
The experimental steers were self
fed a mixed finishing ration composed
of 80 per cent chopped alfalfa, A per
cent yellow corn, 1872 per cent oats,
61s per cent bran, per cent linseed
oil and per cent soybean oil. The
cost of the ration was placed at SAB. II
ton.
Cost of putting a SOO-pound gain on
the control group was $9S &c. The steers
fed Stilbestrol required $7518 worth Of
the ration to make the same gain. The
animal with hormone pellets implanted
under the skin required only $69.4i
worth of the feed.
Labor Costs Reduced
Luther pointed out that, in addition
to savings in feed costs, labor was re
duced by more than a third with the
fastest gaining group.

After 18 months of waiting and the payment of $2000O
Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties last week
the muchpubicized Homer Hoyt report their economic
future
Ever since DR.. Hoyt's organization was commissioned
to make the survey of probable future growth scores of
responsible business and public decisions have been
missed or held in allegiance
The old County Council hestated to take bold or de-
csve steps coming because of fear that it would act
In ignorance of what constituted the future welfare the
County Chambers of Commerce have Unanswered in the
dark, have made claims and countercaims and have
pressed the hope that the oreport would vndcae these
claims
Last week, the report officially made to and ac
Georges County Commissioners and the Park Planning
Commission.
But this week when the SENTINEL sought to meet
its obligation to its readers the report nowhere
to be found copy of -as of Tuesdaywas even to
be found in the County.
This is fine state of affairs. Confusion compounded
Hoisted by Hoyt-or somebody.
Seriously, though, it would seem incumbent upon the
of the Report to to it that copies printed
or mmeographed in quantity and made available to the
public possible After ALL it is the public that
paid the fat fee to the Reports authors it the pubcs
future presumably, that is charted in the Report
Like most of the County's business leaders who this

A Unique Tribute to
A Unique Lawyer

The chamber of the County Circuit Court the scene
of an unusual ceremony Nov. "a After the jury had
been chosen and in, a hours declared
while the members of the County Bar Association paused
to tribute to the memory of of its late members
F. Barnard Welsh.
In the memory of most county barrsters this is the
first time that memorial service of this nature has been
held Lawyer after lawyer contribute his recoec
tons of who had earned the respect of all and the
affection of most
Perhaps it is natural that of the most genuine
ments should have been offered by invitation by one of the
late Mr. Weshs son-Barnard T. Welsh-who said in part
"Now that he is gone, it seems a shame that the new
members of bar cannot know the who considered the
trial OF case real art who practiced law with his
heart who did not seek wealth through the practice of law
who even to the last evening" retained interest Rock
vile and the legal profession :"
Justice is basic element in world-one which most
of prone to take lightly until the day comes when
we must rely justice in time of troubles"
Then certainly will hope for continuation of the quality
of practcng law with heart and will look for counsel
who takes his trial work matter of great trust"
1t is entirely fitting that who had these qualities
should be honored by his fellows in the law And know
that the lay public of the County shares in this admiration
We glad therefore that the Court and Bar saw fit to
hold this unique ceremony for unique lawyer But at the
time hope that there may be many tributes of like
character in Montgomery County and that all of them need
not be post-humous.
Justice and mercy living qualities and their living
practitioners should be constantly and currently recognized
