SOYBEANS ARE MORE POPULAR IN THIS LAND Many Industrial Uses Discovered For Ancient Manchurian Crop A review of the literature on soy beans has neen prepared by the Soybean Nutritional Research council. .which was organized a year ago with Dr. J. W. Hayward. Mlnneaolis. as chairman. The review. which deals largely with the composition and nutritive properties of soybeans and soybean oilmeal is intended primarily as a convenience to teachers and investigators. It cites scientific developments of recent years pertaining especially to the nutritive aspects of soybeans and soybean olhneal as a feed for animals. The purpose of the Council, a group of scientific men. is Hie dissemination of existing scientific knowledge on the subject and to Do You We Make Need A Federal Farm Loans Loan? At We’ll he Pleased to talk •t’is over with you at any time. ADAMS COUNTY NATIONAL FARM LOAN ' ASSOCIATION Office 133 S. Second St. Decatur, Ind. Phone 2 Fred T. Schurger, Sec.-Treas.

Seulke, De- ' catur. 111.; Lyman Peck, Fort Wayne. Ind., and Lamar Kishlar, St. Louis, Mo. AU are affiliated i with large industrial organizations i interested In soybeans, but their work is that H an indepemlent study group. Their technical review is not intended for general distribution. Are Permanent The soybean waited some five thousand years before coming to America where it has made a permanent place for itself in Atneri-: can agriculture and commerce on the basis of merit alone, the study points out. From a modest beginning. the soybean processing in-, dustry has grown until the soy- 1 bean production in this country , reached a peak for the crop the year of 1935-36 when some 44.378,000 bushels were harvested. More than one-half of this production was processed. The current crop, it is stated, is expected to well ' exceed that record year, on the basis of government statistics. “When one realizes that the industry produced only 21.000 tons of soybean oilmeal for the crop year 1928-29. it is obvious that a product must have merit to increase in volume thirty times during years when all feedstuffs were cheap and plentiful,” the Council comments. Feed-Break Down In breaking down the component parts of the product as a feed, the study says that soybean oilmeal has long been recognized as a valuable feed for livestock. “Soybean oilmeal is desirable be- ■ cause of its protein of high biolog- ■ ical value, its fat content, its impressive TTst of carbohydrate materials. its inorganic constituents, its vitamin content, and its coni tent of phosphatides and enzymes.” The study includes tables of sciI entlfic analyses of soybeans, meal. I oil and other products and cites I scores of references of works and of research, making this literature

’FARMIMCOMES ARE TO GROW Agricultural People Expected To Show Gain In Net Profits . Although, according to available I information, there has been no ap- | preciable improvement in consurn!er demand In the last several months, farmers are expected to share in the improved demand for farm products and increased farm l income in prospect for the coming year, Austin G. Goth, extension ec- \ onomist for the College of Agri- | culture. West Virginia University, states. Mr. G«th, in commenting upon I the annual farm outlook reports , just released by the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economies, also pointed to the prospect for a slight rise in prices of farm products as a whole and the possibility of a reduction in the disparity between prices received by farmers and the prices paid by them. So far this year, cash farm income for the entire country is down about 13 percent from that of 1937. In August the total income Mr the calendar year 1938 was estimated by the Bureau at about $7,500,000,000. But it is believed that this figure may be raised somewhat because of the better demand for farm products in recent weeks and increased government purchases of surplus farm products. Further Increase Expected A further increase in income is expected in 1939. mainly from proreview more complete and comprehensive than anything previously compiled. “Need of such a review by students. investigators and teachers has long been apparent.” says Dr. Hayward. Roanoke building. Minneapolis. Minn. "We hope that it will be found useful.”

ducts such as meat animals, dairy and poultry products, and fruits and vegetables, which respond rather rapidly to increases In consumer purchasing power. It is believed that Increases in the marketings of these products will more than offset the effect of any price declines resulting from the larger supplies. General economic conditions in the United States “are mostly favorable to recovery.” the report states. A material increase in industrial production in 1939 is. of course, expected to be reflected in larger consumer income, which in turn v. ill mean a better demand for the products from West Virginia farms. Looking across the waters. Mr. Goth said “things do not look so favorable.” General economic conditions abroad may show some improvement during the year, but “competing foreign supplies will be much larger than in 1938.” Net Income To Rise The net cash income of farm operators also may be materially higher next year, because farm production expenses are expected to show little change and may be somewhht lower. The combined level of farm wage rates and prices of commodities used for production on the farm “probably will average a little lower that! in 1938.” Farm wage rates, an important item in production costs, have weakened in some sections during the past year. Although they will probably increase, the average for 1939 may be about the same as in 1938, the economist' says. Prices paid for farm machinery, automobiles. fertilizer, feed, and seed probably will be lower. Little change is looked for in prices paid by farmers for equipment and supplies. Building materials on the other hand, may lie slightly higher. 500 Sheets >O-lb„ White Automatic Mimeograph Bond, nealy wrapped $1.05. This paper is free of lint and sivod for nen and jpfi.

COLORED FIRES ARE POSSIBLE Fire-Place Enjoyment Is Increased By Coloring Flames The fire-place season in New England has started. Warmth is not the only contribution that a fire-place has to offer, for there is a certaih cheer and comfort that most of us get when watchihg the flames dance and jump along The burning wood. Many of us increase the beauty of the fire by adding treated cones. These cones burn blue, green, red. orange, and purple flames and are quickly and easily treated by soaking the cones in certain chemical solutions. Copper sulfate is used to give a bluish green flame. Strontium chloride gives a red flame. Copper chloride gives a turquoise flame. Calcium chloride give an orange flame. Potassium chloride (muriate of potash) gives a purple flame. There are several methods of applying the chemicals. One is to take a woden or earthen pail or crock; dissolve the desired chemical at the rate of one pound per gallon of water and immerse the cones. Another satisfactory method is to put them in a porous container such as a basket or bag, then dip the filled container into the prepared chemical. The proper length of time to allow them to soak varies with the different types of cones, 'and takes from 5 to 30 minutes. After soaking, remove the cones from their container and spread on a flat surface where the air will dry them. If only a few dones are to be used one of the following methods may prove more satisfactory (1) Pour melted parrafin over the surface of*the cones. Then using a salt shaker with coarse holes, spi inkle the powdered chemicals

over them before the parrafin has time to dry. The tendency when ; using this method is to nse too much parrafin. use it sparingly. (2)Glue dissolved in boiling water at the rate "Os one to two tablespoons per gflTToh 6T water into which the cones may be dipped and the chemicals sprinkled on as in the preceding method. (3) Plaster of Paris made to a pastry consistency and the chemicals mixed into it is another method that may be used. In this case, the prepared paste may be dobbed onto the cones, or the cones may be rolled in it to give coverage. I am sure there must be other methods In general usage, so any readers who may have constructive recommendations to make. I would be very glad to hear from them. o STATE FAIR IS GREAT SUCCESS Report Made On Sale Os Calves Entered By 4-H Club Members The 203 calves sold at the State Fair this year brought $26,033.82. according to the report made today by the state fair board. The calves, showed by 4 II club boys and girls by Col. Roy Johnson, of Decatur, official auctioneer, and Col. Carl Bartlett, of Muncie, assistant officials auctioneer, brought on an average $13.15 per cwt. The 4-H club grand champion calf, an Angus junior yearling, shown by George Howey of Tippecanoe county was bought by Earl Speicher for the Bitterich Market in Indianapolis at 62 cents per pound. This steer weighed 1,115 pounds The average weight of the animals sold was 054.3 pounds. The division of the beef cattle shown at the state fair by 4-H club boys and girls was: shorThorn

TESTING MEETS I DAIRY SUCCESS Individual Feeding Records Increases Herd’s Profits Leo Miller of Ripley County, Indiana, effected a marked saving in the consumption of grain in his dairy herd without any rnhrked loss in production when he allow ed the records supplied by the cow tester Ralph Strautman, to “lead the way” in his feeding program last year. The tester made his first visit in July. Pastures had always been looked upon as adequate for the dairy herd so no concentrates were included in the feeding program This plan continued for four months. Butterfat production per cow averaged about 16 pounds monthly. With the oncoming of winter, grain was deemed necessary. For the month of November each cow received from two to four pounds daily. Since production had dropped to almost halt of what it was in July, larger amounts were deemed necessary the following months. During the four 78 animals; hereford. 165 animals. Angus. I<s animals, and total, 358 animals. The winners in each of the divisions were: Shortnortt: Junior yearling. Gerald Clodfelter. Greencastle, Putnam county; summer yearling, Allen . Creek. Liberty, Union county, and senior calf. Herman Purdy. Noblesville. Hamilton county. Hereford: junior yearling: Philip Contbs, Carlisle, Sullivan county; summer year. Wayne Dehaven. Logansport. Cass county. Angus: junior yearling. George Howey. West Point. Tippecanoe county; summer yearling. William Zimmerman. Lape. Madison county, and senior calf. Gene Wakeland, Fort Wayne, Allen county. Winners in the "Get of Sire’ class were: Gene Wakeland, Fort Wayne; Christ Doenges. South Whitley, and C. E. Jones. Churuf Ijusco. x Winners of the trips provided by the Indian? board of agriculture to the national 4-H club congress for achievement in beef calf club work are: shorthorn. Wilbur Lantz, New Palestine. Hancock county; Hereford. Wayne Dehaven, Logansport. Cass county, and Angus. George Howey. West Point. Tlppec.inoe county.
