These mills do a large annual export business, The city’s 16 grain elevators have a combined storage capacity of 23,500,000 bushels of grain, and the number of carloads of grain han­ dled on the Fort Worth market in 1945 totaled 63,339. Other oustanding developments in industrial Fort Worth have taken place in the clothing manufactur­ ing industry, candy manufacturing plants, food pro­ cessing and canning, reconversion of steel plants to peacetime production, and manufacturing of trailers.

It has been almost a year since the close of world war two. By this time we should have been far along on our reconversion program. Due to internal strife in our economy we are experiencing a gradual deple­ tion of stocks of items essential to our American way of life. Most of us during the war years have made no major improvements to our plants. We have kept them in operating condition from materials and supplies readily available. Now as we plan for ma­ jor improvements we are confronted with a shortage of materials, delays in transportation and availabil­ ity of skilled mechanics to make these improve­ ments. It is only a short time before our convention in Fort Worth, and I will serve you for the last time in my term in office. But I will remain ready and willing to serve the association in any way that I can, and to give any support I can to our new presi­ dent— Emil Fahrenthold— as he assumes the duties of his office.

June 15, 1946. Mr. Superintendent, At all Oil Mills.

Dear Sir:

The National Oil Mill Superintendents Association will hold their Annual Convention, at the Texas Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas, July 8th, 9th and 10th, 1946.

This will be the first Convention since 1942; and, from the re­ turns the Secretary1s office has been getting from the Industry, there is going to be a record attendance. You don't want to miss this one yourself! So, get busy and make your arrangements to attend. Also, if you have not already done so, wire the hotels for a reservation. The TEXAS HOTEL will be Convention Headquarters.

The Program of the Convention will be an interesting and educa­ tional one. Such subjects as Solvent Extraction, Seed Cooling after Ster­ ilization, Safety Engineering, Hydraulic and Screw Presses versus Solvent Extraction, Analytical Problems in the Operation of an Oil Mill, and others that are just as interesting to the man who has the problems of everyday operation of his mill.

The Entertainment Program both for the ladies (and you donTt want to leave them out) and the men, will be of the best, for the entire three days. Mr. Ralph McCann, of the Well Machinery and Supply Company, is Gen­ eral Chairman of the Entertainment Ccmmittee, with Mrs. Ralph McCann, as Chairman of the ladies Entertainment Committee. So, you can expect to be royally entertained the whole time you are in the city of Fort Worth.

The Convention Program will appear in the June Issue of the Oil Mill Gazetteer, which is now on the press; and, if at all possible, there will be a skeleton program enclosed with this letter.

Don't hold back, let's make this, the 52nd Annual Meeting of the National Oil Mill Superintendent's Association, one long to be remembered. Are you listening - - - and will you be there?

Yours very truly,

FRED L.WILSON, P r e s i d e n t .

H. E. WILSON, Secretary-Treasurer. Oil Mill Superintendents Association.

It seems very However, in the presence of as little as 0.5% oxygen on the basis of the volume of the fat, reversion to a muttony flavor occurred within a few days. The absorption of about 25% of oxygen was required to produce rancidity in this fat. It can be calculated, therefore, that even if the test sample absorbed all of the oxygen in the headspace, the oxygen suffi­ cient to produce reversion amounted to no more than one-fiftieth of that required to produce rancidity. Actually, the amount absorbed was probably very much less. Subsequent work demonstrated that commercial nitrogen, which contains 0.5% or more of oxygen, is not pure enough to be used in the headspace of sealed cans containing this product. The solubility of air in fats is sufficiently high ( ca. 8% by volume at room temperature) that hydrogenated lard exposed to the atmosphere will dissolve many times the amount of air required to bring on reversion. The degree of oxidation required to produce flavor reversion in raw or hydrogenated linolenic acid oils appears to be of a similar order of magni­ tude. It is often observed that hydrogenated soybean oil with a very satisfactory stability toward rancid­ ity—an oil, for example, with a Swift keeping time of 100 to 200 hours— will become reverted through standing for a few days, or even hours, at room tem­ perature. Robinson and Black (11) reported that reversion occurred in hydrogenated soybean oil when the fat was stored under an inert gas with al­ most complete exclusion of oxygen.

It would appear, therefore, that reverted flavor in hydrogenated oils, possibly unlike that occurring in unhydrogenated oils, may be simply a product of the glycerides of the oil and not of the glycerides combined with nitrogenous compounds or other non­ glyceride constituents. However, the observation of Sanders (12) that even in hardened oils high bleach colors correspond to poor flavor stability cannot be '.cl ignored. Certainly, if non-glyceride materials are invariably involved in the flavor reversion of hy­ drogenated oil, these materials are not in the unsa- ponifiable fraction but remain associated with the fatty acids through distillation of the free acids or HAYS SUPPLY CO. molecular distillation of the glycerides.
