subject for this letter, but | hope it
will prove none the less interesting to
your readers. might reasonably have

name | shall deal.
From my earliest recollections that
name has been familiar to me. but dur
ing the last two months it has been
brought most forcibly to my attention.
and | hope my reference to it will not
be offensive to any who may bear the
name.
My great interest in the name of late
was inspired by the account through
the columns of that faithful dispenser
of news, "The Tribune, in its account

Parkinson, who | remember as pretty
Annie Phillips of long ago. The letter,
however, was addressed to her brother
Fred at his home in Mansin, Washing

generously forwarded it to me. for it
contained references to places in Corn
wall that are as familiar to very many
of us old, and perhaps young, Mineral
Pointers, as are the names of Dodge

The letter was written at Penzance,
the birthplace and home Of my dear
mother until she followed my father to

Soy Bean Oil May Prove an Indus
try in the Future.

Figures on the importation of soy
bean oil, particularly from the
Orient, indicate the possibility of u
future industry in this country, in
the opinion of specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. SO far as the census statis-
tics show. no soy-bean oil was manu-
featured in this country in 1919 or
1920, although several western oil
mills and southern cotton-oil mills
crushed both imported and domestic
grown beans for oil in earlier years
At the same time the importation of
oil for the year ending June 80. 1920,
amounted to 195,773,594 pounds,
valued at $25,23S,590 The importa-
tons of soy-bean oil cake for the
same period amounted to 16,273,785
pounds, valued at s40S,S95. Beans
were imported to the amount of
4,022,552 pounds, valued at $213.696
The absence of a soy-bean) crushing
industry in this country is ascribed
by experts to the rapid increase in
acreage, which uses practically all
the beans for seeding, and to a large
per cent of acreage utilized for pas
ture. silage and forage.
