SOY BEAN OF MUCH BENEFIT
Enables Farmer to Produce Hioh-Pro.
tein Concentrates at Home-Sup-
pIements Other Feeds.

Leguminous crops, such as clovers
and alfalfas, are richer in protein
than non-leguminous crops, such as
timothy, bluegrass, etc. At present
leguminous crops are mostly grown
for forage, and when concentrates rich
in protein are needed to balance ra-
tions, they must be purchased in the
form of fiaxseed meal, cottonseed meal
or tankage.
The soy bean offers a partial solu.
tion to this problem by enabling the
farmer to produce his high-protein
concentrates at home. Soy beans yield
anywhere from 10 to 2G bushels an
acre Of seed, depending on soil and
season. Soy beans may be ground
and used to supplement other feeds.

Drastic economies in French finances
are prescribed by Louis Loucheur,
former minister Of the liberated re-
gions. in an article entitled ITO Save
France From Deficit.%s which IL print
ed in the Reveil du Nord. NJ. Lou

the military, and naval expenses, re-
duction of the interest on the ma

penses," He directs attention to the
fact that more than half of the re-
quirementS of the ordinary budget is
for interest charges.
