10—Lancaster Farming, Friday, July 13, 1956 Research in Farm Product Use Essential UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa, Need for more research, espe cially in new industrial uses for surplus from crops and by-pro ducts that would benefit family size faim operations, was exn phosized here Wednesday night. State iSecietary of Agricul ture William L Henning, address ing a banquet for more than 200 people attending the first mush room gioweis short course at the Pennsylvania State Univer sity, said lesearch in agricul ture has “lagged behind the procession ” “In spite of this,” he declared, “agriculture will continue to ad vance through lesearch that should be directed toward bring ing the greatest results to the largest number of farmers ” New Uses Sought Discovery of new non-food and industrial uses for farm grown materials must be en couraged, the Secretary said. He pointed to the many uses of corn cobs and other farm.resi dues that have found markets that formerly did not exist.

Cowan, on leave from Penn State’s depart ment of animal nutrition, left this month for New Zealand where he will spend a year on a research study as a Fulbnght Scholar. Dr Cowan will be sta tioned at the Massey Agricul tural College where he plans to study grass silage preserva tion undei New Zealand’s con ditions While there, Dr Cowan is one of the few scientists from the United States invited to present papers at the Seventh Interna tional Grassland Congress sched uled to meet in November m New Zealand Dr Cowan is re viewing various experiments at Penn State in his paper on “Preseivation of grass silage with sodium metabisulfite.” Dr Cowan is accompanied by his wife and four children is estimated that the crop value of such diversions has reached approximately $2 billion per year, nearly three times the an nual farm cash income for all Pennsylvania farmers. ~ “We cannot look for miracles, no sleight of hand to find new uses for skimmed milk, straw, fodder or carrot tops,” he said “It requires painstaking re search work. This is the type of service that will appeal to farm ers whb now are burdened with over-production, flirting with support prices and soil bank ideas, wishing they could mar ket some of their waste pro ducts to advantage ” Agricultural Revolution “It appears evident that ag gressive efforts can work out new markets, new uses, new crops, new economies Let us not under-estimate the value of both pure and applied research in modern day farming We are in the midst of an agricultural revolution and science is leading the way.” Dr Henning praised the re search program at Penn State and the important contributions made here to the mushroom in dustry. In spite of an existing scarcity of funds for research at the University’s agricultural experiment station, he enter tained high hopes that “it will not be long before the situation may be remedied.” He said Pennsylvania ranks 47th among all states in per capita support for agricultural research Pastor Hospitalized The Rev. Delmar R. Probst, pastor of the Mt Hope and Wesley Methodist Circuit, un derwent an emergency ap pendectomy last evening at' Lancaster General Hospital.
