SoYBEANs WILL BE NEEDED

Although many farmers have grown
far larger crop of soy beans in 1917
than ever before. they should begin to
plan now for greatly increased acreage
OF this crop for next year.
Experiments have shown soybean
meal to have about the same feeding
value as cottonseed meal; and cotton
seed meal will probably be SO high
next fall that It cannot be afforded
for feeding. There Is sound reason
then for anticipating a great demand
OH the crop for use as a feeding con-
centrate.
Because of the present shortage of
fats and oils throughout the world,
due to war consumption and low pro-
ductton in Europe, all available sources
of these necessary materials will pre-
scntly be utilized. Although the soy
bean Is not considered a source for oil
In some parts Of the country, in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina the threshed
crop is sold mainly to the cotton oil
mills where the oil is expressed and the
the residue, or cake, ground into meal.
Indeed soybean seed is actually second
only to cottonseed as a source of vege-
table oils. It now seems certain that
the demand for soybean oil will soon
become greater than can be supplied
by the Eastern crop. and the South
western crop Will be drawn on to meet
the need.
During the war. when foodstuns of
all kinds will continually diminish.

Of course it is too late TO grow mil

a number OF cultivated annual grasses.

forage crops and others as cereals;
most of them. however. are used either
for forage or for grain. according to
the needs OF the growers In the United

age purposes, but in Africa, India
China. Korea, Japan. and Russia, the
miilets are grown exclusively tor hui

and foNtail millets are most common
and the grain. after being cleaned and
hulled, is crushed and cooked as por-
ridge, much as certain breakfast foods
are used in America. In India. pearl

BOTTLES SCARCE; SAVE THEM

In the interest of home canning,
every housckccper is strongly urged
to save bottles. especially wide necked
ones, for putting up fruits. preserves.
jellies. jams and fruit juices Saving
of bottles is highly important, as there
threatens to be a serious shortage of
regular jars and preserving cans this
season. If you don't need them this
year you will certainly need them next
year. Save them while you can.
The fruit products named. If sealed
with corks and parafiin. can be kept
perfectly in these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams. and preserves can
be kept in ordinary drinking glasses
by the use OF paper and paranin. Fruit
juices should be packed in ordinary
small-necked bottles.
Vegetables. SOUPS and meats, on the
other hand. to keep. must be sealed
by tho usual fruit jar or tin-can pack
ing methods. Reserve regular con-
tainers for foods that cannot BIO packed
in bottles.
Food specialists are also urging all
members Of canning clubs and others
not only to can products. but to dry

many unusual kinds OF human food
will be brought into use. The soy
bean is one of the crops which will be
utilized. Already several manufac-
turers in the East have successfully
substituted soybeans for navy beans In
baked pork and beans. Indeed. the
demand in the East for soybeans for
packing and for planting has been so
great since last fall that the cotton oil
mills have practically ceased crush
ing the seed and are turning them to
the planters and packers. One mill
which. last fall. bought 10000 bushels
of seed and planned to crush Mt least
100000 bushels. did not crush any seed,
but disposed OF the whole stock for
food and planting. Only the yellow
seeded varieties are used for food
With the wartime demand on the
soybean crop for an animal concen-
trate. for human food. and for oil, in
addition to the normal demand for
forage and seed for planting. there is
no doubt that high prices will be main
tanned. Soybeans are now selling at
$3.50 to 81 a bushel-at double the
usual price-and farmers should not
fail to plant the largest possible acre
age. 1t will be a profitable and pa
