c. B. Williams, chief of the division

the coming value to the country of the
once -despised soy bean. The Industrial
Section has quoted Mr.. Williams OH this

figures in regard to experiments made

their mills into soy-bean-oil mills.
Mr.. Williams has issued another cir
cular. IN which he gives the history of
the Introduction of the SOY bean into
this part OF the country about third
OF n century ago. the uses TO which it
was pu, and it's discovered value very
recently as an oil producer, and then
goes on to say:
From the standpoint of the cotton
oil mill. SOY beans offer, it seems to us.
nm unusual opportunity to greatly pro-
long the operating season, and thereby
materially reduce the overhead charges
With very little adjustment in mills
equipped with eXpcllers, it is possible
to change from operating on cottonseed
TO the crushing Of SOY beans This lat
ter operation, according TO our infor-
nation. can he carried on at considcra-
bly, less expense both for fuel and for
labor. IL is probable that If conditions
similar 10 those prevailing during the

soy beans during the past winter and
spring have been able to secure about
$40 ton for the meal and from 81
60 60 cents o.: more per gallon for their
crude bean oil. 1t would seem to
US that never will there be n time when
soy-bean meal will not bring a higher

chascrs in this country in round num-
bers S9.00o,000. We believe that this
demand could easily have been met If
all of our Southern cotton-oil mills had
crushed beans where they could have
secured them at such prices as TO have
justified them in crushing. Not only
THIS, but there is an unlimited demand.
1t would appear. for soy-bean oil in
