FOR TEST PLANT
Receives grant for plant
A grant of $26,530 will enable a University of Kansas engineer to put a pilot plant into operation this summer for the treatment of wastes from a cattle feedlot near Lawrence.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration made the contract with the University of Kansas Center for Research. Dr. Raymond C. Loehr, professor of civil engineering, heads the project aimed at solving a critical problem in one of the state's fastest growing businesses.
"Nearly two years of laboratory experiments show that our method has good potential," Dr. Loehr said. "It's time to find the efficiency and cost factors of actual operations."
The State Board of Health has been assisting the laboratory work at the rate of $3,000 a year.
The project calls for the construction of three treatment lagoons at the Pendleton Feedyards east of Lawrence near state highway 10.
The first lagoon to receive the feedlot wastes will be anaerobic in action. The action of bacteria will speed the destruction of organic wastes, working without the presence of dissolved oxygen in the lagoon.
The second and third lagoons will be aerobic in action, in which the bacterial attack continues in the presence of dissolved oxygen. Air will be pumped into the second lagoon or pond, whereas the third will obtain oxygen only through surface exposure to the atmosphere.
Heretofore effective methods of cattle waste treatment have been largely non-existent and the disposal problem has mushroomed as feedlot operations emerged as the most efficient method of preparing cattle for market in Kansas and neighboring states.
Laboratory experiments indicate water at final discharge will be below standards for household use but will present no pollution problem in a stream.
Watson Library only one of many
Kansas University students enjoy library facilities superior to those of most universities across the nation. On campus Watson Library houses over one million volumes, including rare works, major scholarly journals, and micro-reproduction series. The building is well lighted and airconditioned, providing a good atmosphere for students to use its spacious facilities.
THE LINDA HALL LIBRARY OF Science, 45 minutes away in Kansas City, Mo., contains an excellent collection of materials in the history of science, emphasizing the physical sciences.
But opportunity does not stop at Watson, as for many students whose library represents the total of surrounding research sources. The Harry S. Truman Library, an hour away in Independence, Mo., offers all types of documents. Its specialty is the history of American diplomacy, having a large and permanent collection of its own.
Logan Clendening Library at the KU Medical Center, just 40 miles from Lawrence, is outstanding in the areas of medical history and the basic medical sciences. In Topeka the Library of the Kansas State Historical Society has extensive manuscript and newspaper collections, which any student knows can be valuable in many research projects.
"Of 27 pollution-caused fish kills in Kansas in a recent year, 18 appear to have been caused by wastes from livestock operations," Dr. Loehr said.

Those kills resulted in the loss of an estimated 1,100,000 fish.
"The economy of the state needs efficient feedlots and we also need cleaner streams," he added. "This pilot project may be a first step toward effective and economical field treatment systems."
The feedlot operator will maintain and operate the lagoon system while KU Environmental Health Laboratory personnel will gather the scientific and economic data.
