If and when commercial ir radio tion of sawdust is possible, it will be for the double-duty digestive system of Isabella the cow. " Oregon agricultural and forestry scientists, sparked by the possibil ity of moving the state's piles of Douglas fir sawdust into livesto feed racks, conducted trials wi'h funds from the Oregon Forest Pro ducts laboratory. Tests were under the direction of Dr. L. F. Rem mert, Oregon State college agri cultural chemist. 'Sawdust is roughly CO percent carbohydrate most of it in tht Indigestible form of cellulose 01 crude fiber. Normally, even n cow's digestive juices can't break down much wood cellulose into us able energy sugars. r- Bombardment of the cellulos with atomic rays, the scientists reasoned, might split the carbohy drate into smaller' units which eould be more readily attacked rtnd made soluble by Mlornach or rumen fluids. Dry Slob Wood 2 GRADES - Phone 767 BROOKINGS WOOOYAKD Sawdust sealed in tin cans was exposed to high-level gamma ray irradiation at the A EC materials tsling reactor at Areo, Idaho. And polyethylene bags of sawdust went into General Electric company's fleet ron-beam generator at Mil waukee, Wis., for irradiation by ess penetrating but faster workin; beta rays. The results: rumen fluids were able to change into soluble form one-fourth to one-third of the gam ma treated carbohydrates anc' about two-thirds of beta treated carbohydrates. Actually, all digestive tests were conducted with an artificial "stnrnach" or test lube containing rumen juices extracted from am mals. since not enough sawdus; 'ould bo irradiated in initial trials for livestock feeding trials. ! Although the sawdust does nol iccome radioactive. Dr. Remmerl says further tests are needed to lea ni if materials are formed dur ing irradiation that might be toxic lo animals or to rumen micro organisms. Hut the big question is "cost. Kven with cheap sawdust and pro spects for growing supplies of waste radioisotopes in the near fu ture, the physical problems of, bringing the two together might price sawdust off bossy '-s menu.
