FFA team goes to national contest Three members of the Roosevelt FFA Chapter traveled to' Kansas City, Missouri, last week to compete in the National FFA Livestock Contest The contest was held in conjunction with the 59th National FFA Convention and sponsored as a special project of the National FFA Foundation by the Purina Mills, Inc. Members of the team are: Lisa Freston, Jeff Murray, Greg Houston. Lori Freston is the team alternate from Union High National Convention in which FFA members put into practice the lessons taught in the vocational agriculture classroom. Each of the teams competing in the Livestock Contest has won at the local, area and state levels to earn the trip to Kansas City. Purina Mills, Inc.' will provide funds for administration of 'the Kirk Wood,, vocational School. agriculture instructor and chapter advisor, is the team coach. Hie Livestock Contest is one of 12 national agricultural contests conducted annually by the National FFA Organization as part of the convention. This year, 43 teams will test their knowledge of livestock selection and grading using livestock provided by the American Royal Livestock and Horse Show. The contest is one of many educational activities at the contest,, an awards breakfast, trophies and medals and cadi a winds to winning teams and high scoring individuals. Awards will be presented November 15. The contest winners will be introduced to the convention audience at the Saturday morning business session. USU Extension plans CtoS SS Si T?

Currently, the solid fuel used in the shuttle boosters, as well as the Trident, Minuteman and smaller missfl rocket motors, includes a substantial amount of ammonium perchlorate, the principal ingredient that creates hydrochloric add. Scientists hope replacing it with a far lees polluting ingredient, ammonium nitrate, will solve the problem. -- add formed when the shuttle's twin booster rocket enginee spew out their exhaust. A professor at Brigham Young University was recently given an Air Force grant to work on the problem. Merrill W. Becks tead, professor of chemical engineering, will deVise a computer model to predict how the fuel would burn and what pollutants would form ? .

The weather has to be just right so the wind .blows these of add over the ocean clouds . rather than over Floridas orange groves and over people. So for But making the switch is no easy tack.' To a layman that might seem like a very simple thing to do, but to an engineer its akin to telling care makers they cant use combustion engines anymore, Ammonium says Beckstead. perchlorate is the basic workhorse the whole' thing hinges on, and it has been for years. It would be a tremendous change. Whatever ingredients ere used, the solid fuel must work in two crucial ways, he said. It must bum a certain number of inches ammonium acceptable. per second with the rate predictable and reprodudble-- a specification that can be very difficult to meet. Each of the shuttle's two booster rockets must bum in exactly the same way, he explained, so that thrust is consistent and the arbiter doesnt veer off in the wrong direction. Second, the fuel must be efficient. "Typically ammonium nitrate bums with very poor efficiency. effiWe get about nitrate. Thats un- Beckstead's task is to generate model that will accurately describe combustion in a rocket engine whose fuel indudes ammonium nitrate rather than ammonium perchlorate. With the right equations, he should be able to plug in a variety of parameters and make reliable predictions about such things as bum rate and We're looking at this from a fundamental scientific point of view.
