Fat from Yeast Could Help End Fat Shortages
Scientists Marvin Steinberg and Z John Ordal describe a new method to convert carbohydrate waste such as corncobs paper mill and canning plant waste and straw into fat using lean yeast. The process resembles alcohol production and uses nonacid fattening solutions with sugar from waste products to fatten yeast for edible fat.

Wormy pigs costly to raise and curb with sanitation
Veterinarian Dr. N D Levine notes wormy pigs require three to four more bushels of corn and longer to reach market weight. The McLean county swine sanitation plan stresses clean farrowing pens, udder washing, pasture rotation, and moved litters to new pastures to prevent parasite eggs. If worms are present, add one percent sodium fluoride to mash for one day.
