Hay Waters Better
For Storing And Feeding

Observation-Disclosures dinners &
K-rations are on occasion accepted
bills of fare. While some may think
them none too palatable, it can't
be denied they are quick, easy and
nourishing.
Major gu p m II I companies
state universities and USDA resear-
cheers haven't overlooked ole bossy
either. Up to now, two manufactur-
ers have produced working mach
ines for making hay waters and
many others have experimental
models, reports Farm Quarterly
magazine. of Cincinnati.
Hay waters are designed for
much the same purpose as the COM
pact meals and rations. They're as
nourishing as loose hay, easier to
handle than hay-either loose or
baled-and best yet, animals like
it. Cattle, sheep, hogs, even burros.
treat the bite-siZe wafer like candy.
The hay wafer is made by forcing
forage through a die-like a sau-
sage machine. The general differ
ence between a wafer and a pellet
is that the pellet is denser, re-
curing more power to form, is
usually bonded with another feed
or molasses, or steam; and the hay
in pellet is usually ground. Be-
cause of this, pelleting is generally
stationary job.
Not so with field watering. One
company is now offering work
ing field waferer to selected farm
ers on a semi-experimental basis
and another machine made by a
group of farmers, engineers and an
equipment dealer, in an unassum-
ing workshop in Woodland, Califor-
mia, is no longer labelled expert
mental" Both machines do cred
liable job of making waters and
use completely different techniques
Research on watering machines
was begun before World War III
and a dozen companies have been
working at it in earnest since the
early 195O's. still there is no mach
inc freely on sale TO any farmer
at this time.
This slow development has been
due to two barriers, one mechani-
cal, the other the cost. 1t is hard
to make a wafer at all. A machine
with a 100 to $50 hip engine is re-
quired to produce six tons of waf-
ers in the field. A machine capable

Cancer In Rainbow Trout
Linked To Fish Food

The occurrence of liver cancer
in rainbow trout appears to be due
to something in the food fed them
in hatcheries. two Psychologists said
today.
A high incidence of liver cancer
has been discovered in rainbow
trout in a number of fish hatch
cries in the western United States
in the past year. Drs. EN-. Wood
and Charles p. Larson, Tacoma
Wash. wrote in the current May
Archives of Pathology, published
by the American Medical Associa-
ton.
At every hatchery where the dis
ease has been observed, the auth
ors said, the same pelleted diet has
been fed for varying periods OF
time. In addition, they said. dir
ect correlation has been found be-
tween the severity of the disease
and the length Of time that the
diet was fed.
The first dry feed, pelleted diets
began to appear 10 years ago. they
said. The majority of these con-
tain vitamins, antioxidants, growth,
stimulants, and other additives des-
igned to replace factors present in
fresh meat.
The authors said they did not
believe genetic predisposition, in
fections, or radiation caused the
disease.
While nutritional deficiencies or
imbalances cannot be ruled out as
yet they said. the rapid growth OF
affected fish does not indicate a
nutritional factor as a primary
cause.
This would leave a chemical or
a cancer-causing hormone as the
possible cause. they said.
The physiology of fish does not
exactly parallel that of man, the
researchers added, but the occurr-
ence of this cancer in trout opens
new avenues for investigation OF
the disease.

be renewed through each year of
study.
In addition to the honors and
scholarship program, the ANA.
will also establish a loan program
intended to provide financial assist
ance for students during their year
of formal medical study. Through
endorsement or co-signing by the
ANA, loans would be made to
students by local banks or other
lending agencies at low interest
rates and with deferred credit.

1t appeared reasonable to assume
they said, that the superiority of
the Swedish subjects was due to
greater amount Of physical rain
ing and activity"
The study also revealed a sign
ifioant difference among students
of the Philadelphia schools. stu
dents of the elementary schools of
North Philadelphia in general were
superior to those of South Phila-
delphia elementary schools.
Furthermore, the authors point
ed out, there were differences be-
tween subjects of various Swedish
communities. For example 14-year-
old Stockholm boys were physically
inferior to 14-year-old boys from
other Swedish cities.
"In view of the fact that such
significant differences in physical
work capacity can be demonstrate
ed between one city and another,
and indeed between different sch
ools in the same city, caution
should be exercised when compar-
ing the state of physical fitness in
one country with that of another, -

Study Physical Fitness
OF American Youth

If the modern American child is
becoming physically soft compared
with his European counterpart, 1t
would be difficult to prove, a study
indicated recently.
A group of Philadelphia research
ers studied the physical fitness of
public school children and uniVer-
sity students and compared the
findings with similar groups in
Germany and Sweden.
The study seems to indicate that
the difference in physical work
capacity or physical fitness bet
ween some American and some Eu-
ropean children and young adults
may not be as marked as has been
generally assumed" the research
eTs reported in the current May
Archives of Environkental Health,
published by the American Medi-
cal Association.
1T appears to be a widely ac-
cepted view that the American child
is inferior to the European child
with regard to physical fitness, .
they said. "The difference has been
attributed to the high degree OF
mechanization in the United States
eliminating much of the physical
activity which is still part of nor
NAL living and recreation in Eur
ope."
However, the authors said their
study showed mo marked differ
ence' in physical fitness between
the Philadelphia children studied
and similar group in Dortmund
Germany, although subjects from a

orally superior.
