This newest of 1 laboratoies

Basi cobjectives will be to ar

behavior, and why and how mu

environmental factor on traits

Quantitative studies will be
conducted at the Population Gen
etics Research Institute at Pur
due University, Lafayette, Ind
Chemical studies will be earned

Center, Beltsville, Md
Researchers at Purdue will use
laboratory animals and insects
(mice, fiuit flies, flour zeetles,

etics,
The aim is to learn how a gene
acts morphologically and physio
logically in producing a charac
ter
It would expedite our research
tremendously to know which
livestock - breeding systems are
most lively to bring about im
pnvements when any one type
of gen ebehavior determines the
variations which will be trans
mitted for a given character.
The group at Purdue under
Wendell H Kyle will also eval
uate new selection methods and
breeding systems New mutations
that may be produced will be
investigated thoroughly and des
cribed bv the research team.
Beltsville researchers will
study chemical composition of
genes and the chemical reac
tions involved in gene effects,
hereditary transmissions, and re
lated phenomena A leader for
this work hasn’t been selected

Hay Cattle Shades Out-Perform 34 Other Types
Of 35 materials tried as cattle
shades, hay provided the most
effective, according to Joseph H
Way, associate Chester County
agent.
Among the materials studied
by agricultural engineers in ad
ddion to hay, were aluminum,
galvanized steel, plywood, asbes
tos board, plastics, neoprene
coated nylon, woven saran, and
charted scientific horizons in
search of new scientific facts and
principles Plans for creation of
the laboratories began to shape
up as far back as February 1957.

pillows are too compressed, espe

they may never regain their ori
