The state's milk supply apparently became contaminated with alfatoxin in June when the cottonseed was fed to milk cows. State officials did not learn of the problem until July 28 and the matter was not publicly disclosed until three weeks later. A University of PHOENIX lUPD Arizona scientist told a special governor's committee Wednesday that he found high levels of aflatoxin in cottonseed feed in May, some two months before the suspected cancer-causinsubstance showed up in much of the state's milk supply. Dr. Tom E. Russell, a plant pathologist, said he did not report his findings because he did not consider himself "as a regulatory function." Russell said aflatoxin levels up to 100,000 parts per billion were found in cottonseed and cotton scrap at the Paloma Ranch gin near Theba. Russell said. He said he had never seen such high levels of aflatoxin before. Other tests found samples containing 3,000 to 4,000 parts per billion of g $37,500 in 1980 . 3.03 million bv 1985. $6.19 million bv 1990 and $7.26 million by 1995.
