IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
RAISING SOY BEANS
Thrives Well in Cotton Growing
Regions of The Southern
States
FOOD-STUFFS, OIL
AND FERTILIZERS
Opportunity to Help Adjust
Difficulties of Cotton Growers
as to the ^TeewilThe
soy bean, which , has reached
_ l- "
a piacc 01 unusual economic importance
in Asia and Europe as a material
iiom which foodstuffs, cattle
feed, fertiliser, ami oil suitable for a.
variety of uses may be manufactured,
should become increasingly impel
taut in the United States to both
farmers and manufacturers. While
the bean may be grown throughout
tr.e hutirtd and src ..ihu?..iri ae:tio!
of the South on i in the southern pi
tion of the corn belt, it thrice
especially well in the cotton-growing
regions. For this reason, according
to a recent publication of the United
States Department of Agricullun
Department Bulletin 4Ji9, it offer.an
excellent opportunity to the co.
ton planter for adjusting his far<
plans to offset the damage i> cottc.
inflicted by the boll weevil. O tl
otnor hand, since a valuable <>ii ma.
be pressed from the beans in colt r.
seed-oil mills, and since boli-wcevi
activities tend to lessen co.toiisec;
production, the growing of so\
beans in the {3outJi sin uld greati.

prod action of soy beans in con. i
enable ouantilies may, in fact, b'
needed in some seasons to ke. p tb

eiating pi of it ably.
Fiom the farmer's point of view
the c\nFence of the many oil mill
i 1 the Sou h and the probability thaby
furnishing a demand for soy
leans these concerns will make th<
lv gu c an important cash < ro\
should greatly facilitate the irtro
duction of tlie new product 01 a con
niercinl scale. Soy beans should b
of ad<litional interest to farmers
since, as in the case of other legumes,
their culture improves iir
soil. If a sustained demand f<?
them can be built up, therefore, so
beans can be intrcducde : dvantage
ously into a rotation with cotto; .
furnishing at the same time a .sec
ond important cash product and ;
soil-improving crop.
Development of Industry Hegun.
The recognition of the possibi itiosof
bringing about the production of
soy beans on a commercial basis v.
the South is not based only on the
economic importance of the crop i>
Asia, where its production on ;
large scale has been established fot
many years, or on the established
market for the beans practically
throughout Europe. Soy beans have
been grown for forage in this country
for many years, and their a< iap':ability
to a wide range of climate
and soil conditions has been fully
demonstrated. In recent years the
crop has been grown to an increasing
extent for its seeds in eastern
North Carolina. A large production
of the beans in this section in 1915.
together with the occurrence of a
cottonseed shortage, led to the experimental
pressing of a considerWOODS

able quantity of beans by local oil
mills. These experiments were cn
tirely satisfactory, and the mills par
ticipating in them are now taking
an active part in the development
of this new industry with American
grown beans. Oil mills on the Pacific
coast have been operating for
several years with soy beans imported
from Manchuria and have
found a ready sale in this region for
the oil, cake, and other products.
Culture of the Soy Bean.
The soy bean can be grown sue
oessfully on nearly all types of soil
and has about the sanio range of climate
adaptation as varieties of corn.
The growing and handling of the
beans are accomplished almost cn
tilely by machinery in this country
the ordinary farm equipment meet
ing all the requirements of the crop
In large bean-growing districts spe
cial harvesters for gathering the
seed in the field are used quite successfully.
The cost of production
varies from $7.50 to $12 per acre,
depending on the methods employed
in growing and handling the crop.
The market price per bushel of seed
for sowing purposes varies in different
sections, ranging from $1 ii

Yields of see<l to the acre in various
sections of the United States range
from about 15 bushels of CO pounds
each in the Northern States to about
40 bush?l3 in the northern half of
the cotton belt. The average yield
in eastern North Carolina is about
20 bushels, i:\iough many fields
produce 35 buchils or more to the
acre.
Climate plays rr important part
in yields and the oil content of the
seed. Considerable differences eccur
in the oi 1 content of soy beans
grown in different locrh'ies. The
same variety grown in Mississippi
and Ohio, for example, > irlded respectively
25.4 per cent end 17.5 per
cent of oil. The soy bean lends itself
readily to improvement by
breeding, and experiments indicate
the nossibilitv of seen riot* i
ot high oil content by selection.

GRADUALLY PAID OFF
Valuable Information on Federal
Farm Loans So Important
Now.
I ?
Washington.?One - of the features
<>i the federal farm loan a^t which
makes a strong appeal to larmers is
that it compels them gradually to
i retire their indebtedness through a
i long or short period of years.
This process is called amortization.
Under it the interest and principal
arc paid off in equal annual
|cr semi-annual installments throughout
the period of the loan, so that at
the end of the term of the mortgage
the borrower is out of debt.
All loans under the farm loan act
arc made under the amortization or
installment plan. Since the borrower
begins paying off l is debt the
Jivst year after he gets it, and beta
so a ioug time loan is best suite;!
to farmers, borrowers under this
it ::;e permitted to execute mort?
,'os to run from five to 40 years
. ,.c their option.
1 mission is given to pay all of
r)c loan or any pert of it on any in!
; i e T-p.r. in * dr.te after the mortage
h .s it;n five yeai . Bovrowers
ro not permitted to pay off within

Vko u o of the borrowed money is
"SivuV'\'l to the following purposes: to
uvc1 as- land or adbit-cnal land; to
pay off existing indebtedness; to pur
rsc livestock or to make any productive
i prcvements such as dear's
g < me-s, drainage, buildings and
mnd.i: o'
The object of amortization is to
n.'de a farmer to turn a mortgage
into an investment. When he can
ovrvw at a less rate tl\an it yields
im he is able to pay off his indebtedness
out of the profits of his investment.
A long time loan enables
dm to use his money judiciously so
bat it wiil contribute to increased
aluc of his !an<l and its increased
p odueir.g pov.er.
Heretofore farmers have not been
ide to borrow for long periods. This
iseeuraged investment in livsetock
: nd for many other purposes be- *
cause the returns ate slow. Xlm?t
term loans made a speculator out of
:\ farmer.
So the farm loan act, in addition
providing a way for the farmer to
?oi row to the limit of safety, indue
-o him to put his borrowed money to
i.vcduciive uses and provides a way
. r him to get out of debt from the
words of the investment.
Thus the farm lorn act places
i'.hin reach of the farmer the
cans to help himself and stimulates
'T business initiative. The long
ime loan with its small annual pay-cn.t
> puts a quietus on the terror
i mortgage foreclosure.
