The ceremony was chaired by Dr. Paul Beam, Professor from the University of Waterloo and part-time lecturer in English Literature at the School. Pre- sent at the ceremony were mem- • hers of the Board of Truitees. Faculty and Staff of the School of Nursing, parents of the senior students and the total student body. Greetings and congratulations were extended on behalf of the Board of Trustees by its pres- !dent, Dr. R. Rowe. A welcome was also extended by the School Principal, Miss. Mary Philpott:. The seventy members of the junior class participated in the program. They presented the school cap with a blue band attached, to each member of the senior class. Following the ceremony a reception was held for the student body and guests. enzyme properties, but we Were the first to'look attraction 1 pro- tein as a foaming agent," he said. "The — plant wouldn't be high yielding," said Dr. McArthur. "It needs fraction 1 enzyme o, for photosynthesis." • However,. Dr. Goplen may be able to lower the level from about five per cent of the plant's dry weight to around two or three per cent. ,Dr. McArthur and Dr. Miltimore have shown that forages containing about two per cent fraction 1 can be grazed without causing bloat. There's also the possibility that a slightly different fraction 1 that doesn't cause bloat may Yet be foUnd, said Dr. McArthur. As the situation now stands, farmers hesitate, to run the risk .n Of grazing cattle on bloating for- ages. The problem is cut down bit' pastures of mixed forages -- alfalfa with non-bloating grasses for example. "It's, not an,,impossible sit- uation," said Dr. Goplen. "But a non-bloating alfalfa would mean many more farmers with better grazing for their cattle. f'it's a long term project, the government research or- gani ion with full-time re sechers from many back. grounds is best set up to tackle. "The pay-off would ,be high. There's no guarantee we'll suc- ceed but we can't afford not to. try. Agriculture,Canada is will- ing to take the gamble and jud- ging from the record of Canad- ian research, ' the odds look good," said Dr. Goplen. Since then he and Dr. Milt- imore haveshown. that fraction 1 „protein causes the heaviest foam at era etly the same aeldity"aS in a bloating coW's rumen. "Everything --supports the foam theory," said Dr. McArth- ur. "Bloat-causing legumes are high in fraction 1 protein con- tent while non-bloating forages are low." The indications are strong.en- ough for plant breeders to aim at developing low fraction 1 var- ieties which could solve the pro,; blem of pasture bloat. Dr. B.P. Goplen of the Ag- riculture Canada Research -St- ation at Saskatoon, Sask., is in the early stages of a breeding program to develop a non-bloat- ing alfalfa. "We're looking for a low fr- action 1 plant to use as a par- entr he said. • Both Dr. McArthur and Dr. Goplen agree that-the elusive parent may be hard to find. Another search, is on for al- falfa plants which may contain compounds called tannins, or si- milar chemicals, which tie up fraction 1, protein before it can cause a foam in the rumen. Dr. McArthur and his co- workers at Summerland expect. to Check thousands of legume plants for tannins this summer.. He's also using his 'chemical background to perfect methods of spotting tannins and fraction 1 bylaboratory analyses. • Neither Dr. Goplen nor Dr. McArthur expect to 41iminate fraction ,lsfrom alfalfa.

And bloat can be fatal. Credit for finding the answer to what causes bloat belongs largely to a physical chemist. This has come about through an unlikely combination of sc- ientific backgrounds made poss- ible by the depth and diversity of Agriculture Canada's Research Branch. Dr. J. M. McArthur is the chemist. He teamed up with Dr. J. E. Miltimore, an animal scientist, at the Summerland Re- search Station in 1959, and to- gether they have probably crack- ed the main problem which until recently blocked. all attempts at eliminating the threat of bloat. "When I joined the Summer- land station in 1959, this bloat problem caught my attention," said Dr. McArthur. "There were a number of th- eories around as to what caused' cattle bloat, but nothing had been proved. "I had to sort out the th- eories by reviewing what was known to that time. Except for one method, all the treatments for bloat involved principles of 'Surface chemistry. "Of all the theories, only one -- the foam theory -- fit in with the treatment methods. I decided this must be the right one," he said. The foam theory suggested that bloat is caused by the form- ation- of a thick foam in the an- imal's stomach that prevents the , release of gallons of gas normally produced in digestion by rumin- antg'..` ' ' Without the gas escaping, the cow would bloat. But what was it in the • for- age that caused the foam? , "To have a foam, there has to be a foaming agent," said Dr:McArthur. "In Other words, there must be something in the plants -- alfalfa or other bloat causing crops -- that, when there's en- ough of it in the animal's sto- mach, creates a foam." Again the chemist's know-how, went to work, but not without the animal scientist's expertise. Dr. McArthur and Dr. Milti- more formed a team which could tackle the problem from both an- gles. Together -they looked for the foaming agent •in bloating legumes arid finally isolated a proteinicom the plants that produced a heavy foam. "It's a protein that's been known for a long time," said Dr. McArthur. "About 1947 it was called "fraction 1 protein" and the name has stuck. • • • Own : your home • • before Winter Buying that home right now will give you time to make it snug and comfort- able before Winter glows the work.
