ization unit to its El Dorado refinery. 
 Petrochemicals.—The State's petrochemical industry expanded exisi~ing
facilities and made additions during 1967. M. W. Kellogg Co., a division
of Pullman, Inc., was given a contract to design and construct a 600-ton-per-day
ammonia plant near Dodge City, Kans., for Farmland Industries, Inc. The ammonia
will be used primarily for production of nitrogen-based fertilizers. This
is part of a $14 million fertilizer complex. Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association
of Lawrence, Kans., was building a 350-ton-per-day nitric acid plant which
will be completed in mid-1968. 
 Using natural gas as feedstock, Cooperative Farm Chemicals Association produced
ammonia, ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, nitric acid, urea nitrate
solutions and fertilizers at its plant near Lawrence. 
 Gulf Oil Corp. used natural gas as feedstock to produce ammonia, nitric
acid, fertilizers, dry ke, and methanol at its plant near Pittsburg. 
 Mobil Chemical Co. used petroleum fractions as feedstock in the production
of carbon black oih and sodium cresylate solutions at its Augusta Plant.

 Phillips Petroleum Co. produced rubber extender and process oils from petroleum
fractions at its Kansas City plant. 
 Racon Inc., used carbon tetrachloride and chloroform from natural gas and
hydrofluoric acid as feedstock to produce refrigerants and other petrochemicals
at its Wichita plant. 
 Reichhold Chemicals, Inc., produced formaldehyde, phenolformaldehyde resins,
and polyvinyl acetate emulsions at its Kansas City plant. 
 Skelly Oil Co. produced acetone, benzene, cumene, phenol, toluene, xylene,
and a variety of high-solvency naphtha compounds at its El Dorado plant.

 Vickers Petroleum Co., Inc., produced benzene, higher aromatics, insecticide
corn- 
ponents, paint solvents, specialty solvents, and toluene from catalytic reformate
at its plant in Potwin. 
 Vulcan Materials Co. produced ammonia from hydrogen and natural gas feedstock
at its Wichita plant. 
 Pipelines.—Mobil Pipe Line Co. will increase the capacity of its 6-inch
products pipeline from Augusta, Kans., to South Dakota by 20 percent. The
new capacity will be 26,000 barrels per day from Augusta to Topeka, and 16,000
barrels per day from Topeka to South Dakota. The project is scheduled for
completion in 1968. The control center for the fully automated system is
at the Mobil Oil Corp. Augusta refinery. 
 Williams Bros. Pipeline Co. planned a 1 18-mile, 8-inch products line from
Humboldt, Kans., to Carthage and Springfield, Mo. 
 
NONMETALS 
 
 Cement.—The Kansas portland cement industry, after setting new production
records for 5 consecutive years, failed to reach the 1966 peak. The lack
in demand for Kansas cement was due to a shortage of money in the construction
industry and an overcapacity in the cement industry of Kansas and Missouri.

 The output of the six plants was 9.0 million barrels of portland cement,
utilizing an average of 70 percent of total capacity. Almost 59 percent of
the cement was produced by the wet process and 41 percent by the dry process.
Based on reports of five of the six portland cement plants, 75 percent of
the shipments were by rail and 25 percent by truck. Six plants reported 92
percent of the shipments in bulk and 8 percent in paper bags. The distribution
of shipments by type of customer was as follows: Ready-mixed concrete companies,
56.1 percent; highway contractors, 13 percent; other contractors,
