during the conflict been badly
pinched by the failure of the po-
tato crop. This has raised our
respect for the potato, because it
suggests that it is adequate as =
single food fulfilling all nutri-
tional requirements.
In our own land Of plenty we
have for two years had to endure
considerable curtailment of our
meat supply. 1t gave those who
were convinced that meat is dad
for you" a practical chance to try
out their theories, but for most Of
US the lack of juicy steaks and
roast beef in abundance has made
US long for that most glorious,
adequate and complete Of all
articles Of diet.
What can be substituted for
meat if some dire calamity were
to happen?
Soy Bean as Food
What foods that grow abun-
dainty and easily in our climate
are adequate for full nutritional
needs, supposing this glorious
land of bounty should walk into a
period of meteorological and agri-
cultural calamities?
Well, it's not likely to happen,
but our war experiences give con-
siderable courage in the knowl-
edge that we can get along on a
good deal less than we were ac-
customed to have.
One answer of contemporary
industry isthe soy bean. 1t fulfills
the requirements of adaptability
and easy cultivation. A small plot
of ground located nearly anywhere
in North America will grow soy
beans in adequate amounts for a
family's nutrition. / have even
heard of tenement and fiat dwell
ers who have grown enough soy
beans in pots on their window stills
to supplement their meat rations,
but do not guarantee this infor-
nation.
INTENTIONALLY the soy bean has
very high adequacy. 1t is high in
proteins. The claim has been made
that it is a complete protein. That
claim is regarded with some skep-
ticism by Colonel Isker, of the
Subsistence Research Division,
United States Army, but it is GER
tain the soy bean contains most Of
the essential amino acids of a
complete protein and can be sub
stituted for meat, on those
grounds, for long periods Of time.
Mineral and Vitamin Content
Besides that it contains fats and
starches and has a high caloric
value. And in the departments Of
vitamins and minerals it has these
to offer:
Vitdmirs: a. Carotene. b. Thia-
mine (Vitapin b. c. Ribohavin.
d. Niacin. e. Pantothenic acid.
(. Biotin. g. Inositol. h. Choline.
(These are the chemical names
Of the alphabetical vitamins.)
Minerals: a. Calcium. b. Phos-
phorus. c. Sodium. d. Potassium.
e. Magnesium. I. Sulphur. &.
Chlorine. h. Iron. |. Silicon. ].
Copper. X. Manganese. !. Zinc.
The army has used soy bean
-four in making the X biscuits, the
principle function underlying the
use of which is TO provide as COM
plete a non-meat protein as pos
sible.
The soy products are rapidly
absorbed, in which they have the
advantage over nuts, the other
suggested substitute for meat
protein.
In edibility the manufacturers
have greatly improved on the
earlier product. Soy -four is no
longer the sticky, beany tasting
mess Of earlier days, but very
palatable. You can get recipes for
nearly everything from soy bread
TO meat loaf, goulash or lemon
meringue pie made out of soy
products.

The Pine Moth Is Early This Year

TliIS is a warning TO all who

trian pines in the paintings on
their grounds. It. seems that
lthe European pine shoot moth
has put in its appearance this

this year. A heavy infestation
on any given tree for several
years may cause death of the

Weed Areas

Although il is easier 10 pre-

them off after they have a head
start rock salt can be used just
as effectively on areas that are
already weed-clogged and on
poison ivy stalks.
For these purposes, however,
a heavier application is neces-
sary, because the already-grown
plants are harder than early
spring shoots and a stronger
salt brine is needed to kill them.
-Four pounds of rock salt to each
square yard Will do the job in
these cases.
