Show 9 m i m r THE SENTINEL Thursday. July 7, 1983 I? Scientists make food from waste Waste water and sewage from cities can be converted into food and feed crops, beefsteak and lamb chops. A study by Utah State University scientists disclosed that plants grown on sites irrigated with treated city waste water had greater growth rates, u Military the levels. Interestingly, chemical analyses disclosed that most metal concentrations were actually higher in plants harvested on the control sites. Plants grown in the USU study were alfalfa, corn and wheat. Conducting the study were W. F. Campbell, professor of plant sicence; R. W. Miller, professor and of soil science two-ye- ar Report Airman Cameron A.

Jesus y "During the entire week twenty crafts and five different activities will be physical related to famous heroes and heroines," said Pat Davis, artistic director for Promised Valley Playhouse. "Throughout all the activities, we're trying to teach the children how to walk in the footsteps of famous people. "The heros and heroines include famous writers, musicians, painters, track stars, inventors, and others," added Mrs Davis. "A lot of fun activities are planned, too, including making chimes, shrink art, Mexican food, chocolate rolls, thumb print art pictures, and a big wheel competition and frisbee golf ..."

During the six weeks at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, the airman studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special training in human relations. In addition, airmen who complete basic training earn credits toward an associate science degree in applied through the Community College of the Air Force. The airman will now receive specialized instruction in the aircraft maintenance field. He is a 1979 graduate of Jordan High School. Airman Randall C. Oliphant, Richard C. and Lillian M.

Also, there was no evidence of toxicity when fed as 7 percent of total diet to breeding ewes continuously for four than dry weights and yields plants grown on control regular sites. Through irrigated the chemical analyses, researchers found that metal in the plant concentrations materials were below hazardous years. The scientist found that the experimental supplement from sewage solids was about equal to cottonseed meal in providing protein supplement for cattle. In their experiments, the scientists checked carefully for toxicants and pathogens. They concluded that nutritious feed products can be produced from selected sewages carefully without undue risk. They chose H.

The possibility of developing sewage products that can be used effectively and safely as supplemental feeds for livestock has been determined by New Mexico State University scientists over seven years of intensive investigation. They found that nutritive value of dried solids from primary domestic sewage sludge is about half the value of cottonseed meal on a dry matter basis. These , gastrointestinal absorption of organic toxicants and even some heavy metals that might be in sewage solids. To further reduce any risks to the food chain, they suggest feeding these products to breeding herds rather than to animals being finished for slaughter. Safe home canning testing at libraries Safety tests for canning equipment will be offered at several Salt Lake County libraries Monday, July 18 through Thursday, July 21. Utah State University Home Economists, in cooperation with the Salt Lake County Leaders Council, will test pressure canner gauges for accuracy and safety. Tests are scheduled at the Whitmore Library, 2197 E. 7000 S., on Wednesday, July 20 from 9 a.m. to Peterson noon; Library, S. 700 9340 p.m. 4-- H , Interested persons need bring only the canner lid.
