SOY BEANS.
In Demand Here And Much Sowu For
Foodstuf.

The soy bean already has reached a
place Of high economic Importance in
America and Europe as a foodstuff.
The seed Of the soy bean. unlike that
of the cowpea, rarely is attacked by
the weevil or other grain insects.
Even where the oil is extracted the re-
sultant meal is very desirable food.
During the present season the demand
for seed by food manufacturers has re.
suited in greatly increased prices. In
view of the large demand. production
in excess of requirements IS very i'm
probable and this seasons crop I'M
doubtedly will command profitable
prices. The soy bean also is soil inn
