tion of the feed eaten that is absorbed, and (3) the
use to which the nutrients are put — whether they
are used for growth or fattening. Because multiple
characters show all manner of graduation — from
high to low performance — they are sometimes re­
ferred to as quantitative traits. Thus, quantitative
inheritance refers to the degree to which a character­
istic is inherited; for example, all racehorses can run
and all inherit some ability to run, but it is the de­
gree to which they inherit the ability that’s important.

BENEFIT HORSE SHOW FOR JOHN PHILLIPS
John Wesley Philips of Tuscumbia, Alabama was
born and raised in the horse business. His barn, the
Phillips Stables in Tuscumbia, was a gathering-place
for young people who loved horses and wanted to
learn to ride them well, and John devoted many hours
and endless patience to teaching them to do just that.
The Phillips Stables was almost totally destroyed
by fire in December of 1967. John had just about
gotten it rebuilt when he had to enter a government
hospital for observation and tests.
John is still in poor health, and is naturally missing
some income from his training operation as he is un­
able to work. His friends and former pupils are plan­
ning a John Wesley Phillips Benefit Horse Show to be
held August 24, 196S at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
There will be two sessions, at 4 and 7 PM. Charlotte
Neill, a former pupil of John’s who has been very
successful in showing horses, will judge the Juvenile
and Pony classes. Judges for other classes " ‘ -icier
chosen by lot from the exhibitors. The chosen
will receive a blue ribbon and will judge the clns-s

ALLIED EXPANDS HORSE NUTRITION
RESEARCH UNIT
Expansion of nutritional research programs and ad­
ditional housing facilities for horses at the Allied Mills
Wayne Research Center, Libertyville, were announced
recently by Dr. M. J. Brinegar, director of research
for the Chicago-based agribusiness firm.
"By combining information from the Wayne Research
Farm with Allied’s field research data, we want to
evaluate and further improve horse performance. Im
provement is needed in brood mare conception and
in growth of foals and yearlings.
"Research points the way for increased energy, en­
durance and stamina in racing, jumping, working,
pleasure, and show horses,” Dr. Brinegar stated.
Dr. Jerry Border, manager of field research for A1
lied Mills, has been selected to head up both on-the-
research farm and field research projects involving
continuous studies of feeds for breeding horses; grow
ing foals and yearlings; and mature horses.
Dr. Border points out that field research jointly con
ducted between Allied Mills and Rogers Red Top
Thorobred Farm at Libertyville and Arlington Park
race track is designed to study nutritional require­
ments and performance of breeding and racing horses.
Wayne’s latest building in the horse research group
is a barn on the South Farm Unit where nutrition and
reproductive studies can be made with several classes
of horses.
