Two Prominent Extension Dairymen Retire t~rom University of Minnesota

Two long-time extension dairymen will re- t ire from the Universi ty of Minnesota in June. They are PROFESSOR H. R. SEARLES, who has been on the Universi ty staff 40 yr., and PROFESSOR RA~ER LEIGHTON, with 35 yr.

H. R. Searles R. Leighton

of service, t~oth have played important roles in the improvement of da i ry farming prac- tices and in aiding the dai ry industry in Minnesota. Searles has been especially active in promoting organizations of dai ry plants, better dairy feeding, and general herd man- agement and 4-H dairy projects. Leighton has been closely assoeiated with the Minne- sota Dairy Herd Improvement Association program and has been instrumental in pro- rooting testing among state farmers. The two men have been widely known as da i ry catt le judges.

Searlcs in 1936-1938 led a campaign to sign up da i ry plants to support the Minnesota Dairy Industry Committee, representing hun- dreds of da i ry plants around the state. The organization was the beginning of the Ameri- can Dairy Association, a nation-wide dairy promotional group. He helped set up several artificial breeding organizations in the state, promoting this program as a method of dai ry improvement. He has held a number of feed- ing schools and roughage clinics around the state and has worked with agents and farmers on a number of pasture demonstrations. He helped train many 4-It judging and dairy demonstration teams, conducted 4-H dairy clinics, and developed a point system for scoring 4-H dairy exhibits. He saw the nmn- ber of da i ry club members in 5Iinnesota grow from 924 in 1922 to near ly 7,000 in 1959.

Professor Searles has been a judge at sev- eral dai ry contests-- including several state fairs and two events in Colombia, South America. He is an official judge of Holsteins and Brown Swiss, and is an official classifier

of the Brown Sw-iss breed. He coordinated efforts of several agencies in development of a plan for milk houses, now s tandard on Min- nesota farms. He was active in the early de- velopment of Land O'Lakes Creameries, Inc. He was author or co-author of several da i ry bulletins and since 1933 has been da i ry edi- tor of The Farmer magazine. In 1957, he received the $1,000 De Laval extension award.

Professor Searles was born near Elgin, ]~in- nesota, and earned his B.S. at the Universi ty in 1917. He taught in the da i ry husbandry department there from 1917-18, served in the U. S. Marine Corps from 1918-19, and man- aged a farm near Rochester from 1919-21. He was in charge of dai ry extension for a year and a half at Iowa State College, then returned to the Universi ty of Minnesota as extension dairyman in 1922.

Professor Leighton has taken par t in more than 5,000 D H I A meetings, judging contests, conferences, and other sessions around the state since joining the University staff in 1925. Fo r several years, he has been in charge of an annual t ra ining course for local D H I A supervisors. In 1927, he organized the first combination D H I A owner-sampler unit in the state. This was the forerunner of central test ing laboratories. He was instrumental in incorporat ing D H I A organizations on a coun- ty-wide basis, s tar t ing 4 yr. ago.

In 1934, Professor Leighton organized a junior D H I A program, operated joint ly from then until 1938 by the Extension Service and state vocational agriculture teachers. Also, in 1934, he organized a semi-monthly test ing association in a cooperative creamery at Tru- man, the first of i ts kind in the state. I t operated on this basis for 17 yr. He taught a course in D H I A testing methods in the School of Agricul ture during his early years on the Extension staff. From 1933-46, he was superintendent of official test ing in Minne- sota for all dai ry catt le breeds.

Professor Leighton grew up on a 320-acre farm near Stockton, and farmed there until 1925. During that period, he was county D H I A secretary, president of the Stockton Commu- nity Club, headed a creamery building com- mittee, and was president of a shipping asso- ciation there. While still farming, he for sev- eral years spoke at meetings around Winona county, promoting better dairy farming prac- tices. He came to the St. Paul campus in 1925 as a D H I A fieldman, and in 1929 was named extension dairy specialist. He also was an early pronmter of artificial breeding, and helped organize several herd sire associations which were forerunners of breeding rings. He wrote or helped write a number of bulletins and pamphlets on dairy subjects and has been editor of the monthly D H I A report and an- nual summa~'.

Ohio State News

K. S. RAMACItANDRAlq has joined the research staff of the Depar tment of Dairy Technology, The Ohio Sta te University, as Research Asso- ciate, effective March 1. Dr. Ramachandran received his B.S. in Agricul ture from the Uni- vers i ty of Mysore in 1951, his 31[.S. from the University of Bombay in 1955, and his Ph.D. from the Universi ty of I l l inois in 1960. His experiences include 4 yr. of research work at the Indian Dairy Research Inst i tute , Banga- lore, from 1951-1955, where he worked on analyt ical methods for milk and milk prod- ucts and conduetcd studies on vitamins. Dr. Ramachandran 's work at Ohio State will con- te rn the flavor of chocolate ice cream, a study supported by the Ameriean Dairy Association.

About 20 representat ives of the Ohio Dairy Indus t ry met on the Ohio State Campus, March 31, with members of the Dairy Tech- nology Staff to discuss the student recruit- ment program and to review the Dairy Tech- nology scholarship program in general. At the present time, 18 scholarships, represent ing $9,500, are offered in Dairy Technology, of which about half is of the sustaining type and the other half is offered at the freshman level only.

A major point of discussion at the meeting was the utilization of the scholarship moneys-- whether to award scholarships largely to freshmen o'n a l -yr . basis, whether to award scholarships on a sustaining basis, or whether to place extra stress on awarding scholarships to students at the sophomore level and above. The general opinion appeared to be that the scholarships needed to be increased to a t t rac t bet ter-qual i ty students and that the sustain- ing type of scholarship might be the prefer- able type. However, emphasis was made to the effect that the major approach should be in the direction of acquainting the high school students with Dairy Technology first and then use the scholarship offer as secondary support. Such an approach should tend to decreas~ the inclination of many students to shop for schol- arships without having any real interest in the field in which the scholarship is being offered.

I t was indicated at the meeting that the recruitment program for ]960 would consist of the two phases, first the showing of the animated slide sequence depicting the field of Dairy Technology at The Ohio State Univer- si ty to interested groups throughout Ohio. I t was pointed out that this sequence had been shown at several meetings a l ready and

IN THE DAI RY FI ELD

IODINE SANITIZERS OFFER ALL THESE ADVANTAGES

A LONG RECORD OF DEPENDABILITY. Iodine is recognized as a most efficient antiseptic and germicide. It is known to be effective against a wide range of organ- isms. New technology has now resulted in more efficient iodine formulations devel- oped especially for sanitization.

EASY TO USE. Iodine sanitizers are for- mulated especially for treatment of dairy utensils and equipment. Leading manufac- turers offer iodine sanitizers and detergent- sanitizers as liquids, powders or tablets.

EFFECTIVE. Iodine sanitizers are effective in low concentrations.., economical, too. They can help you supply better milk.

EASY TO TEST. The well-known iodine color is an indication of solution strength. When the color of an iodine sanitizing solution begins to disappear, that is a signal to replenish or replace the solution. Test kits are available.

gram wilI be recognized at the University of Minnesota's Dairy Day, July 29, on the St. Paul campus.

Persons who helped pioneer the 50-yr.-old DH][A program will be honored at the event. Citations will also be given to several men who have been active in dairy teaching, re- search, and adult edueation in the past half- century.

Visitors to the event will tour research and teaching facilities on the St. Paul campus. They will see studies under way on new dairy products, new developments in protective nfilk, calf and cow feeding, and cattle breeding.

The Dairy Day is being sponsored jointly by the dairy extension section and the de- partments of dairy husbandry and dairy in- dustries.

Minnesota's DHIA program began in 1910 with 25 herds in a cow-testing association in Freeborn county. Today, 4,700 herds in 86 eounties are being tested. The program is the core of dairy extension education in the state; it provides production and feeding informa- tion which farmers can use as the basis for herd improvenlent.

Milk Sanitation Short Course at University of Nebraska

Nearly 100 persons attended the Milk Sani- tation Short Course at the University of Ne- braska, April 12-14, 1960. Both farm and plant sanitation problems were discussed by industry, regulatory agency, and educational leaders.

Among farm sanitation problems covered were Animal Health; Milking Procedures; The Effect of Various Dairy Housing Methods on Milk Quality; Washing and Sanitizing Farm Dairy Equipment; and Location, Construction, Chlorination, and Sampling of Private Water Supplies. Subjects of interest to both farm and plant personnel included Newer Tech- niques of Detecting Antibiotics in Milk; Milk Sanitation Surveys; 3-A Standards; Milk Transportation Problems; Use of Pesticides on the Dairy Farm and in the Milk Plant; The Washing and Sanitizing of Automotive Milk Transport and Pick-Up Tanks; Bulk Tank Sampling Problems; and Laboratory Pasteurization and Post-Pasteurization Milk Counts. Plant sanitation problems discussed were Regulatory Aspects of Ultra-High Tem- perature Pasteurization; Bio-Assays of Min- eral and Vitamin Enriched Milks; Sanitation Problems Related to Processing Small Quan- tities of By-Products; Problems and Poten- tialities of Circulation Cleaning; and High- Temperature Short-Time Pasteurization Equip- ment Testing Procedures.

Speakers at the three-day course ineluded H. E. EAGA~', M. E. HELD, and To~ LOFT- HORSE of the United States Public Health Service; C. A. ABEbE, The Diversey Corpora- tion; T. R. E~RIGHT, Klenzade Products, Inc.;

Objective: TO ASSURE FULL VITAMIN POTENCY AND FLAVOR STABILITY DURING THE SHELF LIFE OF THE M I L K It is important for all those associated with the milk industry to know about the extremely high quality of Vitex® Vitamin Concentrates. There is perhaps no other industry where health and sanitation standards, where in- spection, control and regulation, play such a key role. In consequence, it is well to realize that Vitex concentrates meet or exceed every criterion and are entirely acceptable as a food additive.

Vitex concentrates are processed in a Grade A plant under AAA standards. Every batch of pure vitamin crystals is assayed before processing. And not one batch of the finished product can be released for ship- ment until the laboratory provides a clean bill of health concerning: total plate count; thermophile count (37 ° and 55°C) at l0 days; viscosity; physical appearance (fat and solids separation at l0 days at 37°C); final report of vitamin assay.

Vitamin additives offer dairies a profitable means of providing better balanced nutrition. Vitex Vitamin Concentrates are the best assurance of purity, potency and stability.

tute. In making the announcement, Mr. Hol- lidge explained that the contribution is part of the continuing program of the PMMI to support education in the packaging field from funds provided by income from the Insti- tute's Shows. PMMI Shows are held every 2 yr., the 1961 Show to be held in the new Detroit Convention Hall from Nov. 7 through 10, 1961. Mr. Hollidge is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the MSU School of Packaging Foundation and is Executive Vice-President of the Arthur Colton Com- pany, Detroit manufacturer of tabletting ma- chinery and packaging equipment.

In accepting the contribution, H. G. WALTER, retired President of Gerrard Steel Strapping Division, U. S. Steel Corp., who is serving as Executive Director for the MSU School of Packaging Foundation, stated that this is the first association contribution to a $2,000,- 000 fund that is being raised to build a new School of Packaging Building on the MSU Campus. This project, which has been ap- proved by the MSU Board of Trustees, is designed to provide trained graduates of ex- ecutive caliber for the packaging industr.y. Currently, Mr. Walter explained, MSU is the only U. S. university with a 4-yr. cur- riculum leading to a Bachelor of Science De- gree in Packaging. He went on to say that the Packaging industry is now the ninth

J O U R N A L OF D A I R Y SCIENCE 15

largest segment of the U. S. economy. As such, it has a rapidly growing need for ex- ecutives with packaging educations. The new School of Packaging Building is a step towards providing these much-needed executives for tile dynamic packing industry, he concluded.

Michigan Holds Successful Engineering Conference

The Eighth Annual National Dairy Engi- neering Conference was held at Michigan State University on February 23 and 24, 1960, with about 275 attending.

One half -day session dealt with the produc- tion of high-quality steam for food processing plants. J. J. HANAGAN, of the Food and Drug Administrat ion, pointed out the importance of determining the accumulative effects of food addit ives in minute amounts over a long period of time.

CAaL ZURBORG presented cost figures on the heat pump system of evaporation. He cited an example of a p lant using an engine de- veloping 150 h.p. which consumed 1,600 cu. ft . of na tura l gas per hour. At 35¢ per cubic foot of gas the cost was 58~ an hour for fuel to evaporate 7,500 lb. of water, pasteurize 9,300 lb. of infeed milk and 1,800 lb. of con- centrate hourly, and provide hot water for equipment and general cleaning.

P lant operators contemplating new plant construction must give careful thought to the site, explained C. B. DEFFENBAUGH, who was speaking from his experiences at Roberts Dairy, Omaha, Nebraska. He stated that it is par t icu lar ly important to consult with people responsible for planning future streets and highways to make certain the site will be accessible, and not in the path of a new highway.

There was a great deal of interest in the work of J. HOVANESIAN. He showed that the center of a one-half-gallon package of vanil la ice cream can be hardened to 0 ° F. in 2.4 hr. when immersed in a moving --33 ° F. 40% propylene glycol solution.

Automated flow control and automatic con- trol of clean-in-place functions was thoroughly discussed by a panel consisting of DALE SEIB- ERLING, ED KUHLES, and ROBERT REYNOLDS.
