T e x a s A & M U n i v e r s i t y D a i r y Sc i ence Club

The his tory of the Texas A&M Dairy Science Club can be t raced back to 1922, when it was organized as the Kream and Kow Club. An increasingly scientific nature of the dai ry in- dust ry prompted a name-change during the school year 1957-58 to the present title, as being bet ter suited to the club's expanded activities.

:I~E}&BERS~-IIF

Club membership includes undergraduate and graduate students major ing in dai ry pro~ duction or da i ry manufactures at Texas A&M University. Meetings are once a month dur- ing the school year.

OFFICERS, ADVISORS

Officers are elected for one-year terms. This school year they are J e r ry McFarland, presi- dent ; Leslie G. I rvin, vice-president; Rudy M. Wuensche, secretary- treasurer , and James M. Hurley, reporter .

The organization's advisors are elected each year by membership from the dai ry science faculty. Current advisors are Dr. A. V. Moore, professor, and Dr. M. A. Brown, associate professor.

OBJECTIVES

The A&M Dairy Science Club has the fol- lowing objectives: to (1) develop leadership among students; (2) develop closer relation- ships among students, faculty, industry, and other educational inst i tut ions; (3) acquaint students with the American Dairy Science

Club members attempt to further these ob- jectives by meeting' regularly, holding social

ACTIVITIES

One of the club's main activities is spon- soring the Junior and Senior Dairy Cattle Judging Teams, coached by Dr. Brown, and the Senior Dairy Products Judging" Team, coached by Dr. Moore.

The junior team tries its skills at the South- western Livestock Show in Fort Worth, Texas. Senior teams compete in intercollegiate con- tests at the Mid-South Fai r in Memphis, Ten- nessee, and the National Dairy Cattle Con- gress ~t Waterloo, Iowa.

Members of the Dairy Products Judging Team are selected through competitive try- outs. The group participates in the Southern Regional Contest and the Internat ional Con- test. Finances snd long-distance travel have curbed participation somewhat, but the team has managed to compete approximately on alternate years since 1937.

The club is active in A&M's annual Student Spring Dairy Cattle Show. Fifty-seven stu- dents participate(] in the 27th annual show held in May of 1963 at the A&M Dairy Cattle Center.

Other activities are an annual club picnic in the spring and participation in High School

One of the club's special efforts for many years is the awarding of honorary member- ships in the organization to outstanding lead- ers in the Texas da i ry industry.

Cadet Corps members in the Texas A&M Dairy Science Club go for milk and doughnuts during a social hour following a regular club meeting.

The list of honorary members includes: Henry P. Knolle, Jack T. Lively, Evans Reese, E. H. Leiendecker, R. E. Hildebrand, Newton Lamb, John Richards, H a r r y Peterson, B. E. Stallones, W. E. Thomason, Joe C. Carting- ton, L. B. Hughes, Claude Edge, J immy W. Davis, W. L. Payton, G. M. Lasater , Dr. David G. Smokler, A. E. Reidal, Ehner L. Becken- doff, and Wi l l a rd Hill, Sr.

A special highlight during the 1954-55 school year was election of the Honorable P. Mendes France of Prance to honorary membership for speaking out in favor of in- creased milk consumption by the people of his country.

Fund-ra is ing activit ies take up a major por- tion of the club's time to support awards, socials, and the judging teams.

These efforts include luncheons for dairy groups visi t ing the campus, such as the South Texas Dairy Producers Association's annual meeting and the year ly Dairyman's and Proc- essor's Short Courses; sale of purebred dairy heifers raised and fitted by club members; advert is ing sales in the premium list for the annual Student Spring Dairy Cattle Show; and "hust l ing" milk and ice cream during Future Farmers of America and 4-H Club gatherings on the campus.

A p lant with a capaci ty of 2,000 lb of fin- ished butteroil per hour is operating at the Fos te r (Victoria) fac tory of the South-Eastern Milk Products Cooperative Company.

The whole milk is first separated to 35% cream which is flash-pasteurized. The cream is fed to the Clarifixator, a centr ifugal homog- enizer, where i t is concentrated and the emul- sion is broken. The oil, containing 85% milk fat , is subsequently fed to the fa t concen- t ra tor , where fur ther concentration takes place and oil is discharged containing 0.4% moisture.

The skimmilk from the Clarifixator, although containing a very small fa t percentage, is fur ther centr ifuged to recover the remaining milk fat . The butteroil is then heated to 200 F and flashed into a vacuum chamber where par t ia l cooling and final dehydrat ing occurs. Af t e r fur ther cooling in a plate exchanger, the butteroil is packaged.
