was of great assistance to his colleagues. His work on the Composition 
of Maize at different stages of its growth, published in collaboration 
with H. A. Huston in Bulletin 175, Purdue Experiment Station, is 
recognized as standard. 
He designed the Indiana fertilizer sampler, which has been adopted 
as official by over twenty States. It is recognized as the most practical 
instrument made for the accurate sampling of commercial fertilizer and 
similar products. His feed sampler, which is a modification, is also 
widely used. He designed a stirring machine for the rapid precipitation 
of phosphorous and similar reactions. Professor Jones carried on ex- 
tensive experiments in collaboration with Prof. H. A. Huston on the 
action of fertilizers on sugar beets and also on the effect of potash and 
other fertilizers on peat soil. This data is unpublished and it is to be 
hoped that it may be made available some time. 
He was the author and contributor of over twenty fertilizer reports 
and ten feeding stuffs bulletins. Besides a report of inspection, his 
bulletins contained much valuable information upon the subject under 
consideration. Some of his compilations of feeding stuff definitions have 
been used as texts in college work. He helped form the Association of 
American Feed Control Officials and served as president and on the 
executive board of this association. He was a member of the American 
Chemical Society and the American Peat Society. He was a Fellow of 
the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and had long 
been a member of the Indiana Academy of Science. He was a charter 
member of the Purdue chapter of Sigma Xi. 
Dr. W. E. Stone fittingly described his life when he said: “On every 
side he displayed the highest qualities, as a man, a citizen, a public 
officer, a scientist, and an alumnus of the University. Such men are 
rare. We shall long remember his exemplary life and mourn him as 
a staunch friend and a valued associate.”
