University’sTechnological Work Is Evaluated for 1933. By the Associated Press. URBANA, II, January 31.—On the basis that a penny saved is a penny carned, $124,400,000 was computed to- day as the 1933 value of University of Illinols technological research to in- dustries and citizens of this State. ‘This sum comprises the savings of expense credited to discoveries in 36 scientific research projects which have been under way several years at the university. An additional saving of $107,815,000 is credited to seven other discoveries not fully enough developed to be counted in 1933, but standing as a technological nest egg for fighting de- pression a little later.

The 1933 savings are “annual’—that is, some of them have been going on for several years and represent elimina- tion of expenses which the scientists believe would otherwise still be losses. Some of the investigations have been under way 10 years or more. One preject mentions specifically that part of the savings come from reducing the number of men needed, but most of them are improvements in materials and methods and savings in waste or in crop damage. Some of the larger items in the $124,- 400 000 list are: Boiler embrittlement, $40,000,000; train resistance, a method of increasing car miles with the same power (in Illinois alone), $1,000,000; improved house heating, $5,000,000; concrete, $1,000.000: limestone and le- gumes in agriculture, $7,400,000; sweet clover as fertilizer (valuing corn at 17 cents a bushel), $1.907,400; shallow cultivation of corn (17-cent corn), $4,- 476,240; alfalfa inoculation, $16,000.- 000; rebuilding alfalfa acreage, $1.087,- 000; improved corn vield from utility- type seed, $2,227.000; improved grade utility-type corn. $4,672,500; swine sani- tation, $1,000.000; improved production deiry cows, $29,133,760 and Shears of forged steel, guaranteed.
