Engineering, Technical Headquarters In Decatur

From the east wing of Central Soya’s new office building here, come the plans for the new processes, products and equipment vital to a growing organization. Here is central headquarters for the Engineering and Technical departments, serving all of the company’s far-flung facilities. Engineering’s 17 engineers and draftsmen under the direction of Kenneth Robertson and Technical’s 13 engineers and process technicians under Norman F. Kruse make up a team operation that “pulls together” on developing new processes, products and equipment to: <ll improve the efficiency of the company’s plants, (2) improve the quality of existing manufacturing procedures, and <3l design and construct facilities to manufacture new products or to serve new areas. “In this program, data and techniques developed in the laboratory and on pilot-scale operations are translated into commercial operation to continually maintain and develop our plans as the best in the industry,” Kruse said. “This leadership in technological development, quality of products, and efficiency of processes has been made possible,” he added, “by company management’s recognition of the value of technical and engineering thinking in planning and projecting the company’s growth.” Examples of technical-engineer-ing thinking data back to Central Soya’s early years and the installation at Decatur of the country’s first Hansa-Muhle solvent extraction plant imported from Germany for extracting soybeans. The meal first produced by this plant was not satisfactory and it was necessary to develop a new process which toasted the meal to make it acceptable to the feed industry. Later, technical thinking met another test with development of a new commercial technique which combined the steps of desolventizing and toasting extracted soybean oil meal. The new process made further advances by producing a product with both improved nutritional qualities and greater economies of production as an ingredient in livestock and poultry feeds. Further improvements included the development of new process methods and equipment to de-hull and clean the soybeans during processing under efficient and economical conditions. This development

made possible High Protein (50 percent) Soybean Oil Meal, and enabled the company to lead the industry in its large-scale manufacture and use in feeds. The new meal has become the standard of the industry, and—together with new feed formulations built around it—has made possible more efficient and economical production of livestock and poultry. Soybran Flakes is another new product from the soybean made possible by the development of a new process. Used primarily in rations for ruminant animals such as cattle and sheep, the new product’s main features are low bulk densiy for lightness and texture, high digestibility for greater nutritional value, higher liquid absorption capacity, and uniform texture and color for improving the appearance of feed mixtures. Large scale plants for the production of Lecithin, an important soybean oil constiuent used for many edible and industrial products, were designed and built by the Engineering and Technical Departments. Although Lecithin is little known to most consumers, it is valuable in the manufacture of such foods and industrial products as: Margarine, chocolate and confections, baked goods, instant drinks, prepared mixes for baking, paints, printing inks, plastics and textiles. One of the most recent major achievements of the Engineering and Technical Departments was the design and construction of a new auto-syntronic feed manufacturing plant at Des Moines, la. Representing the first of its kind in the industry, the new plant features quality control, flexibility, and production efficiency. What of the future? Their work has just begun, as Robertson and Kruse see it. “In the future we’re going to be concerned with furthur development of new products of greater economic value. This will require the planning and construction of plants and equipment for their production.” 0" ■ —————————O 20 Years Ago Today 0 o Sept. 3, 1939 was Sunday and no paper was published.

FBI Report Shows Increase In Crime WASHINGTON (UPI) — Murder, rape or assult with intent to kill was committed every four minutes in the United States last year, the FBI reported today. The FBl’s statistical crime clock expressed in graphic terms the 9.3 per cent rise in crime last year over 1957. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said an estimated 1,553,922 very serious offenses occurred in 1958 —an increase of 131,637 over 1957. The figures were reached under a new uniform crime reporting system set up a year ago. They were drawn from the records of police departments representing 97 per cent of the nation’s population. Forcible Rape Leads Way The FBI used seven major crimes as the basis for measuring the overall 9.3 per cent boost. Under the new system, it no longer considers minor larcenies, negligent manslaughter and statutory rape as part of the crime index. Forcible rape led the way last year with a jump of 13 per cent. Robbery and burglary followed closely with increases of 12.7 per cent and 12.6 per cent lyLarceny over SSO rose 10.3 per cent while the remaining offenses showed a smaller climb, namely; Aggravated assault, up 2.6 per cent; auto theft, 2.2 per cent and murder, 1.9 per cent, the lowestrate of increase. Juvenile Arrests Rise The FBl’s crime clock also indicated that a major offense was committed every 20.3 seconds last year and a murder occurred ever 64.2 minutes. Forcible rape was committed every 36.1 minutes; robbery every seven minutes. Each day during 1958, the FBI estimated that 22 people were feloniously slain. Also daily 40 forcible rapes and 311 other felonious assaults; 1073 larcenies over SSO; 742 stolen cars; 206 robberies and 1,862 burglaries. Os 2,340,004 persons arrested—--248,439 of them females —in 1958, slightly over 12 per cent were under the age of 18, almost 20 per cent were under 21 and about 29 per cent were under 25 years of age.

Feed Research At Decatur Leads Way DECATUR, IND.— "Research will show the way,” might well be the slogan of the McMillen Feed Research and Nutrition Center at Decatur, Indiana. To the Center’s highly trained staff of seven research personal, including three Ph. D’s and two veterinarians, goes a large measure of credit for the Central Soya and McMillen Feed Mills’ reputation as a leader in the production of top quality, efficient rations for livestock and poultry. Under the leadership of Dr. W. Windsor Cravens, Director, the program staff is carrying out a three-pronged attack on research problems of concern to producers of livestock and poultry. They put scientific know-how to work on: 1— development of new feeds and feeding programs. 2 — improvement of existing feeds in order to lower the cost of producing livestock and poultry products, and 3 — studies of the relationship between feeds, feeding programs and quality of consumer products (meat, milk and eggs). Broilers are currently being studied to determine (1) what rations wiH produce boilers most efficiently at the lowest cost per pound of meat, (2) what coccidiostats and coccidiastat programs are most effective in the control of coccidiosis, and (3) the effects of various types of stress on growth, feed efficiency, morbidity and mortality. Tests are being carried out with breeder hens to determine more exactly the relative merits of limited feeding versus full feeding, and of medium versus high energy feeds. Laying hens are helping McMillen researchers to explore the relative efficiency and cost of producing a dozen eggs or medium and high energy rations, . Hogs are the subject of studies on feeding meal versus pellets; free,choice versus complete feeds; ana the relative effeciency of different grains for finishing hogs. Experiments with calves are providing valuable information on feeds and systems for growing veal calves and replacement heifers. A kennel of healthy dogs is the subject of palatability, growth, and reproduction studies. The white rat — classical animal of basic nutritional research — is making possible intensive experiments on soybean meal quality and quality control of other feed ingredients. In addition to its research projects, the staff has an educational job — that of informing the company’s salesmen on nutrition and management programs so that they can inform dealers and feeders. Over the years, McMillen Feed Mills has recognized the importance of research, and its scientists —recruited from experiment stations and land-grants college classrooms — have helped to take livestock and poultry feeding out of the realm of the unknown. Many of the milestones of the last quarter century have been carved by McMillen scientists. For example, they discovered in 1945 that condensed fish solubles when included in feeds for poultry and hogs, produced faster gains on less feed In 1951 tiie Master Plan for swine was introduced with the first life cycle feeding program using definite feeds to meet the needs of each life cycle stage in hog production. _ Two years later, McMillen Feed Research scientists becameinterested in experiment station reports on “high energy” rations for brotiers. Thorough studies were made, which involved the use of Central Soya’s new 50 percent protein Soybean Oil Meal, the addition of animal fat, and increased amounts of vitamins and minerals. The result; a highly concentrated, tow fiber, carefully balanced ration that produced amazing results. Broilers fed the new ration weighed a quarter of a pound more at nine weeks that those fed the ration then in use. Not only that.. .. .they made the gain on 15 percent less Master Mix Broiler Feeds the new formulas were first produced for sale in the summer of 1955 They were followed a few months later by other similarly improved Calorized feeds for layers, breeders, and turkeys While Calorized feeds for poultry were being developed, scientists were also looking into an improved milk replacer for calves. Built on a high-lactose, ttigh-fat base, the new replacer — called Calflac, was found to promote faster growth and healthier calves during months of experimentation. In addition, it cost much less than the milk ft replaced. A new five-point dairy program with definite feeds for each class of dairy animals was introduced in 1958. In addition, Soybran Flakes, a new Central Soya product, was tested in dairy feeds and found to possess higher digestibility and higher absorption qualities than any of the sandard bulky ingredients used for similar purposes. For Central Soya and its feed division, McMillen Feed Mills, “Research has shown the Way,” and will contunie to mark the path of progress toward a more efficient and prosperous agricul-

No Pet Theories By Parents Os Quads By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor DOBBS FERRY, N. Y. (UPI)— Alex Kajouras and his pretty blond wife, Bess, have no theories on child care. They’re too i busy with the practice. i The Kajouras are the parents t of quadruplets, their first born, who arrived June 24 at the U.S. I Public Health Service Hospital on Staten Island. * I visited the couple today to see ■ how they’re getting along with 1 their four little deductions, now 1 that the babies have gained ’ enough weight to be home. The answer Is very nicely, . although Alex, 30, and a Navy veteran, is jobless and worried i about financing his family and l finishing law school. The babies : are healthy and not fretful. The 26-year-old mother handles four » children with more aplomb than some mothers can handle one: and father and mother are two of the happiest people I’ve over r Mln* > uKIi, “Not only blessed, but blessed four times,” said Mrs. Kajouras. , “I have tiie feeling we’ve been given something wonderful from God.” The Kajouras’ are Greek Orthodox. Rent Free For Year Mrs. Kajouras said quadruplets occur once in about every 750,000 births; chances of survival are one in seven million. Their four—three boys and a girl—were kept in incubators until their weight climbed to 5 pounds. All except Michael weighed less than 4 at birth. He was the last to arrive and also the heaviest—4 pounds, 2 ounces. Now Mi cha e 1 is a hefty 9 pounds. “He’s a glutton,” laughed his mother. “Look at those jowls. Only a mother could love a face like that” Paul is a few ounces over 8 pounds; Leon, whose name already is shortened, to Lee, is a few ounces lighter; and Anthea is 6% pounds. Mrs. Kajouras, a trim figure in black toreador trousers and white bouse, led me into the nursery —one bedroom of their two bedroom apartment which their landlord, Robert Mettrick, has given them rent free for a year. 1 “Doesn’t it look like a Macy’s 1 warehouse,” said. She pointed to • four bassinets, a huge stack of ’ diapers, and mattresses for cribs I which haven’t arrived. Alex won the cribs on a television show. [ 400 Diapers a Week “No,” she said, “I don’t have I any theories cm child care. I ’ haven’t had time to think up any. Keeping four babies fed, bathed I and dry is an around the clock : job. “They use 400 diapers a week ... 24 bottles a day.” “I read some baby books before , I came home from tiie hospital They’re all aimed at one baby. Dr. Spock devotes one short cahpter to twins. What help is that to me?” “My biggest problem is when all four wake up and hungry at the same time. They’re pretty much on a four-hour schedule. “If Alex isn’t here at feedtag time, I just line all four up on the table there (a long dining table in the living room), prop a bottle in each mouth, and let ’em feed themselves.” A chart in the kitchen helps the couple keep track of who’s been fed when, and to remember when vitamin drops are scheduled. When the quads came home, Alex quit his truck driving job which was helping finance night classes at Columbia University. They’re living mostly on savings, but Alex spoke optimistically about finding a new, better paying job so he could resume his studies. It will take him three more years of night school to get his law degree. Some of the cost of upkeep of this rare family has come from the outside. Most of the hospital services , were free. A diaper service donated a supply for the first six months. Another company offered the milk formula. A baby food manufacturer will feed the quads for a year and a half, once they’re on solids. A fund has been started to provide for the children’s education. And Mrs. Kajouras said letters from well-wishers all over the country often included a check for $2 or . $3, sometimes S2O. Already the tots are developing personalities and easily are told apart, although all have blond hair and blue eyes. “Mike's the . eater,” said his mother. “Paul is , the good one. He will happily lie , there and stare at the ceiling for hours. Lee is a tense little fellow. And Anthea is dainty ... she puts up a fuss when .she’s wet.” “I think our biggest problem ‘ lies ahead of us,” said the father. “How, when the children are big enough to know us, will we divide ourselves among four? Walk in the room, and who do you cuddle . first?” “I guess it’ll be first one up gets love,” laughed his wife. “The rest stand in line.” ture, producing the top quality, nut- . rittous, high protein foods all Americans enjoy.

Acreage Credit To Producers Os Wheat Fanners who underseed their wheat allotments may still get full history acreage credit for 1960 under a new law that has just gone into effect, ASC chairman' James Garboden said today. The method of determining wheat history acreage for wheat farms on which the allotment is underseeded has been changed. The law is designed to help farm* ers who underplant to still protect their future wheat allotments. Under the new law, a farmer who plants no wheat for the 1960 harvest may still obtain maximum history acreage credit for 1960 if his acreage during either of the past two years was equal to 75 percent of his farm wheat allotments. This is in effect if his actual planted acreage of wheat in either 1958 or 1959, plus any acreage diverted from wheat under the soil bank, was equal to 75 per cent of his farm wheat allotments. If a farmer does not meet this requirement and wants to get maximum wheat history credit for 1960, he must meet the 75 per cent planting requirements for 1960. In other words, by planting 75 per

cent of Ms wheat allotment la any of the three years 1958, 1959, er 1960, the farmer assures himself of full history credit far 1969. In addition, a farmer who to prevented from seeding wheat for the 1960 crop because of unfavorable weather can preserve his maximum 1960 wheat history aeroage credit if he notifies the county committee by December 1, 1959, and the committee makes an official determination that ths weather has prevented the grower from planting the wheat. No change has been made in the law or regulations on the history credit for farmers who overproduce their 1960 allotments, Garboden said. The farmer who exceeds his allotment will receive history credit only for the allotment unless he stores his excess wheat or delivers it to the secretary of agriculture to avoid or postpone the marketing quota penalty.
