It was only1 a few years ago whon cotton seed were piled up on the farms of th Southern States to rot. When It -is real zed what has taken pile during this interval in the utillSsV' tion of the cotton seed and what it has added In a financial way to th wealth of the South, It would Cf talnly seem that the land owner would bestir themselves to a betttf ut lintlon of the eoy bean. The soy bean contain on an evemt about the same amount of oil a contained In cotton seed. Th percwta o protein is t littl high ' er.

There were at the end of 1914 three modern bean oil mill in Northern Manchuria The 'full capacity of these mills was about six tons of oil a day. In fact at present it Is an Important Industry of these Oriental countries. Dur ing the past three years Manchuria has shipped the following amount of soy bean oil Into this country. In 1912 more than 28 000 000 lb. In 1913 about 12 340.000 lbs. In 1914 about 16 3RO00 lbs.

The nmoiint of soy bean cake secured during these .vears from a ton of seed ranged , mi an average from 1 802 pound to ... 1 817 ounds per ton. As a gal lon of ol' weighs s von and cite ' half pound-t approximately. It will -be seen that from tho ton of seed 24.4 to 2tl.4 gallons of oil were Be "... cured.
