r; > , Would Maintain Copra-Crushing Industry Because it Provides Good Feed Supplement I v j |

Crushing copra dried kernels of i • eocoanute -Jjecnme nn American industry in war time when European countries wore unable to get the raw material. Now an important agricultural problem, according to Dr. Cail I Alsberg, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, is the maintenance of the industry in this country because it Ims added valuable growth-producing eubstahces to American stock feeds. Maintenance of the Industry depends largely upon whether American farmers and stock raisers will recognize the value of the feed. Investigations have shown that, a little of the press cake added to stock feed greatly increases its feeding value} The copra press cake is especially valuable as an addition to dairy feed .nd its worth in that regard has long been recognized in Europe. Comes from Pacific Islands. Copra is produced chiefly in ' the Philippines, East Indies and the Southern Pacific Islands. The nuts are opened and the kernels are broken into small pieces by the natives and then dried. The dried copra Is shipoca to the countries which buy it ’cr its oil and feed value. During the war the dried erfpra piled ip in the islands where it is produced, ince there was no adequate market *er it. Some enterprising Americans, in order to get the oil. purchased dried repra in large quantities at a low price, brought it to the United States, and • nressed it in cottonseed presses. Oopra oil is especially valuable in making nargarines, because at the tempera are of the temperate zone it is us itlfly a solid, although in tropica, countries it is a liquid. The oil brings nore revenue to the idustry than the ■ress cake, which is really a by oroduct. From the point of view ol rgriculture. however, the press cak, y-product is of the highest im nortance. Feeding Value Shown. Recent investigations have show’ hat feed in order to promote growtl

1 New Peach Sizer Perfected and Given for Public Use by Department Workers

This year a part of"the peach crop lay be better graded at less expense han heretofore by use of a new sizer eveloped by government workers, i'wo machines were built last year and ested under commercial conditions at oesburg. Va., and Maqfleld, Ga. Inirmation gained through these tests J as used in perfecting the present “ lachine. drawings of which are now ■ ivailable to all growers or manufacturers interested, according to anouncement by the Bureau of Markets, Tnited States Department of Agriculture. The machine has several unique tenures and advantages over existing ypes of sizers which make it possible o handle fruit with less bruising, while its construction permits 10 to 5 packers to work at one time, thus making possible a run of from two to three carloads of peaches a-day from ach machine, the amount depending m the average quality of the fruit. The overall dimensions of the machine ;re 24 by 15 feet. It requires an electric motor of less than one horserower capacity, or a small gas engine, to operate it. and it,can be run at half ■ capacity if desired. Under commercial - conditions it should be sold at a price F not to exceed $450, according to estimates of the designers. !■ How It Works. The peaches from the orchard are delivered on an inclined roller con veyor, on each side of which sorters stand and pick out culls and damaged 1 fruit. The rotation of the peaches on i this conveyor, which is obtained without bruising, enables the sorters to see the entire surface of the fruit without touching it. From this roller conveyor the peaches are delivered to two sets of ropes running over pulleys. A simple lever arrangement peri mits the adjustment of the spaces between these ropes to accommodate J any fruit it is desired to grade. Al 4. 4, 4. 4. 4. 4. +* * * + 4. “G.

This quartette is so’well known in Ft. Wayne that it hardly needs any introduction. Its services are in great demand by organizations outside of the works and we were fortunate in ; securing them for the dedication on April 10th. The young men comprising this quartette are all employees of the G. E. Co., at Ft. Wayne.

in animals must contain certain sub-J stances the nature of which Is not < fully understood. These substances J have been designated as fat soluble I and water soluble vitamines. Many 1 feeds which supply heat or tissue building material do not contain these i essential substances and when given alone they will not promote growth. In fact, If either of these types of substances Is entirely absent from the diet of a young animal, it will die. The copra press cake contains a little of the fat soluble substance and considerably more of the water soluble substance, and for this reason is a valuable addition to a diet made up of bulky foods which have Htle or none of those growth-promoting substances. Ricll in Protein, Also. Copra press cake is a valuable feed, not only on account of the vitamines, hut also because of the high quality of its protein. The protein of the copra ’ press cake contains a relative high per centage of an amino acid which is ‘ essential to normal growth but which i is present in only small quantities in 1 corn, oats and most of the other ceri- eal grains. For this reason, as well t as on account of the vitamines, copra press cake is an excellent feed to I supplement the grains. A small quanI. tity of it added to the grain feeds t provides an abundance of the essentia! !. substances which the grains lack. A d feed made of grains and a small pro- >. portion of copra press cake is more d nutrious than a feed made exclusively a of grain. g Copra press cake, of course, is not i- the only) source from which the vital growth-promoting vitamines may be il obtained. The water soluble vitamin® :s is found in seeds and in the press cake e of the peanut, cotton seed, soy bean r- and other vegetable materials. The >f fat soluble substance is found in hay e alfalfa and green vegetables. As tic i- value of these substances as food ac I cessories become more generail) known it will be necessary to ust n' every available source if they are tc h[be obtained at reasonable prices.

though the ropes diverge from each other under ordinary operating conditions. they may be set nearly parallel to facilitate the distribution into the bins of fruit which runs almost uniform in size. This control is made possible by a perfected hat-rack movement which is one of the unique features of this meachine. As the peaches come off the roller conveyor they roll down a slight incline to the ropes on which they travel until dropped through into canvas bins. It is impossible to congest the machine, because the peaches are fed one at a time to the moving ropes. Some objections to former rope sizers have been overcome through the use of a special coupling device, an idler which served to keep the proper tension on the ropes and the mechanism which quickly widens or reduces the space between the ropes. The machine, which was devised particularly for six-basket carrier packing, can be used equally well for bushel packs bins. Possibilities for Other Fruits. In announcing the perfected machine, which is the work of the grades and standards project and the technological laboratory of the Bureau of Markets, it is stated that the machine has possibilities for grading other fruits such as apples, pears and or anges, while it may be possible to modify it to handle sweet potatoes. An application for a public patent on this sizer is pending in the patent 1 office, but the department can give no I assurance that a patent will be allowed I on the machine or that some of the elements covered by the application are not already protected by existing patents. The bureau has applied for patents on parts of the machine in order to make them available to a'l, and is ready to furnish a set of working drawings to growers or manufacturers for $2. which is intended to cover the cost of labor and materials.
