SOJA BEAN IS
GIVEN SOME
PROMINENCE
In Great Britain as a Result of
Food Blockade against
Germany.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 4.-Discussion OF the
food blockade against Germany has
served to bring attention to the merits
of the sofa bean, to which is given up
more than twenty-five per cent Of the
cultivated area in Manclnria. AL
though the sofa is well known and
highly regarded in Germany and the
Scandinavian countries and is now
the second on the list Of China's ex-
ports, 1t has hitherto achieved small
general reputation in the English
speaking countries, andeven the latest
dictionaries dismiss 1t with the brief
description: "In Asiatic leguminous
herb, Glycine Sofa, the seeds Of which
are used to prepare sauce called soy
Although the Chinese have used the
sofa bean extensively for at least two
thousand years, the first important
shipment to Europe was made in 1908,
by British firm. The Germans al
most Immediately began to experiment
with it and FIVE years later we're using
the major part of an importation esti-
mated at over $2OO,OOO,OOO year.
The secret of the sofa bean is its
universal usefulness. A British gov
ernment report gives the following
list OF sofa products. vegetable food
Clike marrowfat peas); soups; meat
substitute; chocolate substitute; mac
aroni preparation; -four; artificial
milk, cheese coffee substitute, artiflc-
ial horn, biscuit and food for diabetic
patients, sauce, meal for cattle, oils,
oil-cake for fodder, fertilizer beam
cake"
The same report points out that the
oil from the bean is used in the manu-
facture of the following articles:
dynamite and high explosives, soaps,
llnolcum, rubber substitute, marga-
rine, paints, varnishes, toilet powder,
waterproof cloth. paper umbrellas and
lanterns, salad oil, lubricants, lamp
oil. preseryative for sardines, substi-
tute for lard"
The pod of the sofa is about two
inches in length and the plant has an
erect stem two or three feet high.
There are three principal varieties Of
the bean-yellow or huangton, green
or ellington and black or wuton. The
yellow contains more nutritiye ingred-
tents than the others, and this Is the
variety almost exclusively used for ex-
port The quantity Of oil extracted
from the beans runs as hight as nine
teen per cent of the total weight.
