Ag engineering chairman retires at Penn State
From 1969 to 1971, Dr. Walton
was chief-of-party for a University
of Missouri program with the U.S.
Agency for International
Development at the Orissa
University of Agriculture and
Technology in Bhubaneswar,
Orissa, which is on the eastern
coast of India.
He was responsible for a
University Development Program
and an Agricultural Production
Program to establish the Ex
tension teaching model. An im
portant aspect of these programs
was faculty training and
development at the University of
Missouri.
While at the University of
Missouri, Dr. Walton’s primary
research was in the area of
agricultural structures and en
vironment and later, in the area of
food engineering. He has published
numerous articles on the physical
properties of poultry products,
including “Composition of Shell
Waste from Egg Breaking
Plants,” “The Viscosity of Egg
Substitute Mixtures,” and “Using
Eggshells in Poultry Feed.”
As a result of his research, some
egg processors in Missouri use a
dehydra ion system to eliminate
shell wastes. Feed producers then
process the dried material, which
