Four Penn- Commission streams, the department had recommended that Hell Run be given the next lower classification ot High Quality Waters, ’ which permits lowering the water quality where there is significant social and/or economic justification of local benefit The EQB opted tor the higher classification after conducting a public hearing The new air pollution control regulation chapter will incorporate specific procedures tor each source applying tor alternative emission reduction limitations under the federal bubble’ policy The bubble policy permits an operation to ottset excessive pollution trom one source by lowering emissions beyond those mandated from another source at the same locale Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, Bristol, Bucks County, will utilize the bubble policy to offset volatile organic compound emissions from coating machines using solvent and water-based coatings with low emissions from a solventless coaler used in its coated paper products producing plant. The new chapter on 'Standards tor Sewage Disposal Facilities, which took DEK and the Sewage Advisory Committee two-and-a halt years to prepare, will be published in the Pennsyvlama Bulletin for a 30-day comment prior to consideration by the board for final adoption Kevised regulations governing Food Establishments also will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin tor public comment In addition,' they will be the subject ot an EtJB public hearing to be conducted in the Fulton Bank Building, Harrisburg, at 10 a m STOLTZFUS SPREADERS V Other ■ arm-related steps taken - ncaster Farmmg ’ Saturday ’ February 28 » I^B1 ~ C25 Thursday, April 9, by Agriculture Secretary Penrose C Hallowed and Health Executive Deputy Secretary Dr Donald Reid The board approved COLLEGE PARK, Md - Mmi and micro-computers have aided a virtual revolution m recording, reporting and analyzing food quality control data, according to a University of Maryland professor of horticulture The quick calculation, memorization and readout capabilities of today’s miniaturized computers permit food technologists to quickly identify and solve potentially costly production Ime problems, says Aimhud Kramer, who has written extensively m the area of food quality control. This more efficient handling of food quality control data can result in less waste and increased productivity for food processors and in an even higher, more consistent quality of food for American consumers who demand product uniformity from frozen apple turnovers to Zwieback toast. The idea is to produce and market any product in accordance with specifications at the least cost,” Kramer explains ‘For this reason, we think of quality control from the standpoint of particular tests made to keep a product safe at the level of quality required ” The tests assess many How food quality control SOWER SPREADER Why Waste Fertilizer With Today’s Prices?

The more characteristics or variables in volved, the more complicated it is to analyze the relationship bet ween us. Within a food quality control system, Kramer says, the ap plication of statistics simply allows an individual to make decisions based on known risks rather than on the basis of intuition or hunches, alone. Before the advent of miniaturized computers, the usefulness of a statistical control technique was considered on two mam bases: The opportunity it provided for rapid computation so that results could be reported and posted promptly and action taken as soon as possible after action was in dicated. Its mathematical validity. The new computers can store information for use at any point in the calculation process and then organize the data in the form of a graph, a particularly important function in the area of food quality control.

In the case of food products, for example, sampling is not only necessary to detect the presence of defects, but also for a host of nutritional, sensory and functional variables. Another area of quality control in which miniaturized computers simplify the process is in evolutionary operations. Where other control methods have control limits on constants, evolutionary operations differs in that there is an ongoing attempt to change those control limits to see if the change will improve the product. By using evolutionary operations, we can change both the time and the temperature in volved, then use the analysis of variance to obtain the optimum combmation of time and tem perature which will provide the desired period of tune FARM MACHINERY EXPO March 5. 6. 7 Booth 511, 512, 513 seasonal,” residence” and
