2 Soy Beans Continue To
- ' By GUY A. cARDWELL
Agricultural and Industrial Agent
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. .
The soybean is rapidly growing in
Importance in the United States. In
dustrial chemists have found a va
riety of uses for products of the bean.
The , Middle West, particularly Illi
nois, has built ,a great oil industry
: based on the soybean, but oil is only
one of the many products of this
magic bean.
' The following interesting article
appearing .in Industrial Bulletin of
Arthur D. Little, Inc., Cnemiats-fcin
gineers. Cambridge, Mass. Septem
ber, 1936, issue tells- of some of the
chief uses of the soybean and its
products.
A BEAN WORTH KNOWING
The soy (or soya) bean was dis
covered some 25,000 years ago, and
although it was virtually unknown
in this country twenty years ago.
its cash transactions during many
days last Fall exceeded those of corn,
the so-called king of the grains. Pro
duction of soya beans in the United
States during 1935 was approximate
ly 40,000,000 bushels.
An editorial by E. F. Marsiglio, in
The Chemist-Analyst of the J. T,
Baker Chemist .Company, summa
rizes the recent soya bean sympo
sium of the American Chemical So
ciety, and we are privileged to pass
his comments along to Industrial
Bulletin readers as an excellent brief
resume of an important agricultural
and industrial development.
According to N. F. Tree, the pre
sence of significant quantities of es
sential amino acids renders the soya
bean the equivalent of milk in nut
ritive protein value. The oil yields
an alkaline ash, and due to the per
centages of linolenic and linolenic
acids, the unsaturated fatty acids of
soya oil are of value. In addition to
mineral salts, vitimins B and G exist
in quantities. , ,
Soya oil is stated by E. E. Ware
to have poor drying qualities but to
possess the excellent property . of
permanent elasticity and stability of
color. The oil is at present blended
with other oils of better drying quali
ties for paint purposes and as a con
stituent of a synthetic resin vehicle.
Agricultural and industrial research
may establish soya oil as the most
valuable oil for paints.
Millions of poundB of soya bean
oil have been used in soap making
in the United States, but very little
has been published on this use. The
lathering capacity -of the soap varies
with the degree of hydrogenation of
the oil, and is not affected by the
hardness of water. A. A. Horvath
farther points out the possibility of
substitution of soya oil for at least a
part of palm and cocoanut oils. Crude
soya oil contains 2 percent phosphati
des, mostly lecithin, which interfere
with the hydro, genation process, so
that these must foe removed before
the oil may be used for soap mak
ing. Industrial laboratories are very
active in the search' for new uses of
the products of the soya bean, and,
according to the progress announce
ments, there appears to be no other
agricultural product of such wide
adaptation. The industrial demand
for soya bean is increasing until to
day it ranks as the fourth largest
cash crop to the American farmer.!
Present indications seem to point
that chemical and agricultural re-
search will eventually establish the'
soya bean as parallel in importance
to wheat, corn and oats. The soya
bean or its products hare already
found the following uses: paints,
breakfast cereals, glues, infant diet
materials, rubber substitutes, stock
feed, plastics, cooking and salad oil,
auto parts, beverages, candy making,
varnishes, flour, soaps, meat packing,
floor covering.
The soya bean is a new crop to
the farmer, and, because of its var
ied adaptability, creates markets not
heretofore open to agricultural pro
ducts. It is said to be chemically
beneficial to the soil, ideal for crop
rotation purposes, and good for sil
age. There are many types and var
ieties' of the soya bean; hence selec
tion of bean to soil' -and climate
places its cultivation on a national
basis. Cultivation has' thus far been
confined largely to crop production
and industrial uses. Selection i or
breeding of varieties to extended
food uses of the soya bean will un
doubtedly follow, once the importance
of this agricultural product is rea
lized. Nearly one hundred varieties
are known and are roughly classi
fied as the "food" and "industrial"
types. ' -.v-
Woodruff and Klaas have made
proximate chemical analyses, of about
a dozen edible varieties, and made
flour from eighteen or twenty other
varieties. Although some volume of
refined soya oil is marketed as a
cooking or salad oil, some oil is
blended with cottonseed, and some
is used in vegetable shortening, soya
bean 4s a food is not used exten-
eiveiy in mis country.

Timely Questions On
Farm Answered
1
Question: How can I keep skip
pers and other insects out of cured
meat?
Answer: Be sure that the meat is
protected from flies and there will be
no trouble with meat Insects. If the
smoke-house is not screened and ven
tilated, the meat should be removed
as soon as smoking is completed and
wrapped in heavy wrapping paper.
Each piece should be wrapped sepa
rately and put in a thin cloth bag.
Tie the bag securely so as to pre
vent flies from coming in contact
with the meat and hang in a cool,
well-ventilated smoke-house or cellar
until ready for use.
Question How often should fresh
mash be placed before my laying
hens ?
Answer: For best results, fresh
mash should be placed in the hop
pers each day. This will result in
more feed being consumed and will
also give the poultry man an op
portunity to check on the amount
consumed and to regulate his feed
ing before any drop in egg produc
tion is noticeable. It is a good prac
tice to add this fresh mash at some
definite time each day as-this has a
tendency to increase consumption.
Before adding however, the mash that
remains in the hopper from previous
feeding should be removed.
Question: What are the best va
rieties of apples to plant in North
Carolina?
Answer: Recommended varieties
are the Yellow Transparent, Horse,
Golden Delicious, Delicious, Stayman,
and Winesap. These may be plant
ed at any time during the winter in
Eastern Carolina, but in the western
section where winter conditions are
severe, the planting should be de
layed until spring. Plant the young
trees from one to two inches deeper
than they stood in the nursery and
be sure that the hole is wide enough
to receive the roots without bending
them from their natural positions.
Apple trees should be set at least 35
feet apart
Question: Is it safe to feed silage
to dairy calves?
Answer: Silage should not be fed
to young calves, but a small amount
may be included in the ration when
the calves are from three to four
months of age. About two pounds a
day is sufficient at first as silage is
laxative and too much will cause
scours. This amount may be gradu
ally increased as the calves grow old
er. Only good, well-cured silage
should be used as any sour or mould
ed feed will cause indigestion and re
tard growth.
Question: What can I substitute
for green feed in the poultry ration?
Answer: A good grade of cod liver
nil thai has ham kinlncHullv imrtAil
fnr nntatirv and vitamin tvtntAnt mov
be substituted in part for green feed,
One pound or one pint should be
added to each 100 poundB of mash
when the substitution is made or it
may be fed on the grain instead of
mixing with the mash when more
convenient Where possible, how
ever, some cured alfalfa hay, lespe
deza; or clover hay that retains the
green color should be provided for
the vitamin content and laxative ef
fects. Question: Is it too late to seed
Austrian Winter Peas for soil im
provement? Answer: No. This legume may
be sown at any time from September
to December and good growths have
been secured where seeding, were
made much later, than this date. As
the seed are large they should be
covered two to three inches deep so
as to protect them from the surface
frosts. There is ' always " enough
moisture at this depth to bring them
up at once. Be sure that the soil s
noculted and, for best .results, use at
icast -0 pounds of seed to the acre,
Cut Only Inferior Or
Dead limber For Fuel
At this season . farmers, interested
in improving their woodlands" should
go through' their timber stands and
secure their fuel wood by removing
the dead, 'crippled and diseased trees.
The healthy , trees that remain
should be thinned lightly so that they
can make straight, vigorous growth,
advise the i Stats College Extension
Service and Charles H. Flory, forester
of the Sou Conservation Service-
But do not thin too heavily,; he
warned, as the light coming through
the top I of the k trees should reach
the ground floor of the forest only
in small spots. - As the sun passes
overhead the lighted spots will grad
ually move, thus any one place on
the ground will not be dried out too

much.
Although young trees growing
under older ones need a certain a
mount of light, too much light will
do more damage than good, and if
too many trees are taken out of the
stand the wind and sun will dry the
soil and prevent seeds 'from germi
nating or kill delicate shoots that
have started to grow;
The sun also gives grass a better
chance to grow. This growth, Flory
said, prevents seeds from" reaching
the soil and competes with the young
trees in their fight for plant food.
In natural woods there is an abun
dance of shrubby vegetation, wild
grasses, and weeds. Grazing of
woodlands not only destroys this pro
tecting vegetation, but also packs
the ground by trampling and thus
increases the run-off water, which
would otherwise be largely absorbed
where it falls.
Explains Two Methods
To Cure Pork At Home
The many methods of curing pork
are mostly variations of the ..two
principal methods; the brine cure
and the dry salt cure.
Common salt is the basis of all
meat curing, said R. E. Nance, pro
fessor of animal husbandry at State
College.
Sugar is sometime added to cive
a better flavor and to counteract the
tendency of the salt to harden the
meat , Salt peter may be used also
to give the meat a natural red color,
it has some, preservative effect, too.
In curing , pork, be sure that -all
the animal heat has dissipated : and
that the meat has not frosen. V Do
the curing in a cool, well, ventilated
place and, if possible, in a tempera
ture of 84 to 40 degrees fahrenheit,
Nance, said. , ". () -: v"$;-,yFp;
In the brine cure, for eadi f ioo
pounds of meat use 12 pounds of
salt, two ounces of salt peter, and
six gallons of water. Boil the water
and allow It to cool. If desired, add
three cups of sugar to this formula.
. Thoroughly mix the Bait, Bait peter,
ana sugar and rub some of the mix
ture into the hams, shoulders, and
sides. Pack . all meat in the same
vessel, skhi. side, down, except the
top layer should ,be. skin side up.
Weight the meat down ' with clean
hard wood or .bricks. ';,'
- Dissolve .the rest of the salt and
other, ingredients in the six gallons
of .water, before the water has cool
ed. After the, solution is cool, pour
it over the meat in the .vessel until
all meat is covered. Repack the meat
on the seventh and 21st days.
When the meat is cured, wash i
first in hot water and, then in cold
water and Jiang it in the smokehouse
to drip for 24 hours; before smoking.
Tor the dry cure, use for each 100
pounda.,tof meat: . eight .pounds of
salt, ; three ounces of salt peter, and
three pounds of sugar . (brown pre
ferred). ' , ,
,' Mix the . ingredients' thoroughly
and rub half the mixture on the meat,
then pack it as for the brine .cure.
In seven days repack the meat and
rub on the other half.. The meat
