ETHEL BARRYMORE
FINDS NEW LOVE

NEW YORK, March 10. -(R)-
With an Oscar in her life, there
are signs that the decidedly pla-
tonic friendship between Miss Eth
ell Barrymore and Hollywood is
ripening into a ful-blown love af-
fair.
"Of course I was pleased" the
veteran stage actress said today.
"But I was incredulous.
IT said, I don't believe it. There
certainly must have been a lot
of pressure against me- After all
I'm not exactly of Hollywood. But
it's kind of wonderful
She referred to the motion pic
ture Acadeny's award to her as
the best actress in a supporting
role-the Cockney mother in
None But the Lonely Heart" her
first film in IL years.
"Certainly I'll go back" she
added. 'I'lI go back just as soon
as I find the kind of role I want
that's general, but it means III
90 back to any art that's good. !"
During her previous Hollywood
sojourn, she appeared as the en-
press in "Rasputin and the EN-
PRESS" far different part than
that which won her the Oscar.
"Of course" she continued, mo
ton picture acting is different, in
every way, from the stage. But
None But the Lonely Heart was
by no means the first time I'd had
role like that was a charWo-
man in Galsworthy's The Silver
Box a long time ago."
Didn't it seem unusual, she was
asked, to go to Hollywood for one
picture and then walk off with the
coveted award when many others
went there and worked unavail-
ingly for years to make the grade?
''Perhaps," said Miss Barry
more in her famous throaty voice
and with typical Barrymore tim
ing, perhaps they shouldn't have
gone"

By F. H. JETER

Back in the early 1905, c. B.
Williams, one time dean of agri-
culture and director of the North
Carolina Experiment Station at
State College and also its longtime
agronomist, decided that some
thing must be done about the soy
bean. An old friend Of his, Jona-
than Ravens of Washington, Beau
fort county, had secured some soy
beans seed from sailing master
who secured the seed in Japan.
From this planting, seed were
later distributed around through
the coastal country of Hyde, Pas
quotank, Camden and adjacent
counties and had given the farm
ers a new hay and seed crop which
had grown in local Importance.
Mr.. Williams, native of Camden
county, had seen the bean expand
in popularity and Importance and
so had brought samples to the
College Experiment Station for
testing.
He began to study the bean in
careful detail. He then learned
that the United States Depart
ment had brought in additional
varieties of soybean seeds from
Manchuria, China, and Japan and
were having the varieties tested
for their value in this country.
Mr.. Williams continued his re-
searches, put his plant breeders
to work on the beans, made
crosses, tested the several avail
able varieties, and began to de-
velop those which were suited
best to the various parts of the
State.
Along in 1914 and 1915, when the
Extension Service came into being,
agronomist thought he had enough
facts to go to the farmers of the
State and tell them about the new
legume and to encourage it's pro-
duction and use. He took up the
matter with the big soap compan-
les, the people and others who
might use soybean oil.
Then, he got the Elizabeth City
Oil and Fertilizer Co. to crush
some of the beans in it's cotton
seed oil mill plant. The first COM
mercial manufacture of soybean
oil and meal from domestic soy
beans in the United States, there
fore, was started by this mill on
December 10, 1915.
Finally, Mr.. Williams had the
assurance that there was an I'M
limited market for all the oil and
meal that could be produced, as
well as a local need for all the hay
which could be grown and saved.
He then embarked upon a cam
paign to popularize the soybean

are more uniform throughout the
year in the South than in other
parts of the country, with South
ern farmers raising relatively
more young birds for meat, in ad-
dition to pullets for laying flock
replacements, than do farmers in
the North.
Morgan reported that hens and
pullets on farms laid 4,7860O0,-
600 eggs in February-11 per cent
less than the record production
of February last year, but still
larger than for any other year.
Egg production was down in all
parts of the country, decreases
ranging from eight per cent in the
South to IA per cent in the East
North Carolina states below Feb
ruary of last year.
Egg production per layer dur
ing February was lit eggs, COM
pared with 12.1 eggs a year and
9.4 eggs for the 10-year Q934-40
average. The rate Of lay on Feb
ruary l was down considerably
from a year earlier but as a re-
suit of more favorable weather
during the latter part of the month
the rate rose to a record level by
March. The rate for the month was
down in all parts Of the country
except the South Atlantic and South
Central States where it was about
the same as year ago. Decreases
in the rate ranged from 2 per cent
in the West to per cent in the
North Atlantic and east North Cen
trail States.

and thus he gave the crop first

Nation.

, and thus he gave the crop first
to North Carolina and later to the
Nation.
1t is interesting, therefore. to
note that North Carolina pioneered
with the soybean just as it gave
lespedeza to the Nation. But 9TH
er parts of the United States found
the soybean more ideally suited
to their needs than we did. Some
OF our tobacco growers said the
bean did unfavorable things to
their soils, and when lespedeza
came along as an excellent soil
lmprover as well as good hay
and seed crop, many of those who
also had tobacco on their lands,
gave up the soybean. Not so in
the middle west.
Out in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
and the states further west, the
soybean is one of the main legume
crops. 1t is handled almost entire
ly by machinery; is grown for
crushing largely; and in addition
to adding nitrogen to the soil, it
furnishes an extra farm income.
New varieties bred for heavy oil
production have been developed
and all in all the bean is proving
to be versatile member of the
legume family.
Mr.. Williams is very modest
about what he did to bring this
crop into natural prominence. He
has never received the credit
which is rightfully his but he did
pull the bean out of obscurity and
by continually studying It and
publishing his findings he made
it too important to be overlooked.
He feels that crop as old as the
soybean should have been used to
a greater extent than it was be-
fore he ever began its study.
The first written record about
soybeans is said to have been
made in the year 1888 B. c. in the
reign OF the CnlneSe emperor
or Shen Nung. In 1712, the bean
was taken from Asia to Europe;
by 1890 it had reached London;
and in 1904, it came to America.
The story is that the captain of
a Yankee Clipper ship was sail
ing down the coast of China look
ing for a return cargo. He was not
so sure how long it would take
him to get to America and so he
put in some of these Chinese beans
to be used as food in case of an
emergency. That's how the first
beans came to America.

la.ns says it was probably the
descendants of these beans that
found their way into the hands of
Jonathan Ravens of Little Wash
ington. Mr.. Havens was an elderly
man when he told Mr.. Williams
about the beans and it is not
definitely known exactly how he
got the seed, but it appears that
the first seed came into his pos
session about the year 1870. He
distributed them in small amounts
to his friends and neighbours.
In 1898, the United States Do
partment of Agriculture brought
in more seed of various varieties
from the Orient and in 1907, Will
liam ]. Morse, one of the depart
ments young plant scientists. be-
came interested in the beans and
began to preach their use all over
the Nation. About 10 years ago,
he went to the Orient and brought
back over 5000 samples including
100 or more of the vegetable soy
| beans. 1t is said that the Chinese
thought DR.. Morse a little touch
ed in the head because he would
60 about in the market places
begging the natives to bring him
few more of the different beans
which ne had seen. He would 10
to the fields and pull up a few
of their plants and was willing
to pay for seeds which these peo-
pie had been growing for over
5000 years.
At any rate, Mr.. Williams Sc
cured samples of many of these
seeds and he put on a cooperative
study between the college and the
federal department. In the end
North Carolina became the lead
ing state in growing the soybean.
1t has lost that rank now but its
farmers did show the nation that
the crop could be grown here sue
cessfully. 1t is now an important
oil and hay crop. Plastics, paints
and varnishes are all made from
its oil. Its meal is an important
cattle feed and the need for the
oil increases every day. Many
North Carolina farmers have been
growing the crop during the past
three yers just to help out in the
war effort. More will do so this
season because fats of all kinds
are vitality needed.
