Soy Bean Menu Offers
Cereal, 'Meat', Beverage
Ashevllle, N. C. (U.R) It used to be that a self-respecting cow
wouldn't cat the lowly soy bean unless It was exceedingly hungry.
But today this once-detestable food Is being made to perform a
variety of dietetic functions at the home of Jay N. Judd.
Judd is a farmer. He also is
one of the growing battalion of
men who have taken upon
themselves the Job of preaching
this gospel: "The soy bean is the
greatest health food on earth.
Eat it." And Judd practices what
he preaches.
In some form, soy bean is the
base and often an embellish
ment of three meals a day sev
en days a week in the Judd
household.
He's manufacturing about two
dozen different products from
the peanut-sized bean, and that's
just a beginning of what he
hopes to do during the next few
months.
Judd says there's a "gold
mine" for the Southland In this
crop If the people can be con
vinced that the bean Is good. Ex
tensive consumption of the bean,
he asserted, has greatly im
proved his health.
"There's soy bean milk, for
Instance," Judd said. '.'Not only
does It look like cow's milk but
it actually curdles when it gets
a few days old. From this milk
my wife makes cottage cheese,
butter, and several other things.
"Then there's soy bean oil.
We use that for making mayon
naise, seasoning cakes, flavoring
salads and ordinary cooking purposes.
"Soy bean malt serves the
purpose of standard malts. We
nave; a soy bean breakfast cer
t"l from which we make muf
fins. Our pancakes are made of
soy bean flour.
"As a matter of fact, you can
almost add 'soy bean to every
thing we eat."
- Even coffee Is being made
from the bean at Judd s home.
Actually, it doesn't taste like
coffee but take it from the
Judd family It makes as tasty
a beverage, hot or cold.
Soy beans crushed and
baked by his particular formu
laoften serve as the meat dish
on Judd's table. Judd says it
tastes like pork, "only it's better."

WHEAT PRICE
F
Chicago, Dec. 13. (IP) A pa
per profit of approximately
$25,000,000, less interest and
storage charges, has accrued to
the account of American farm
ers who are holding wheat off
the market under government
loans, grain men estimated to
day. A sharp upturn in the price
of wheat the past two weeks
has lifted market quotations 10
to 20 cents above rates at
which the government has lent
$112,000,000 on 161,000,000
bushels stored on farms and in
warehouses. If producers wish
they can redeem this wheat by
paying off loans, Interest and
storage charges. Then they can
sell at market.
Grain men pointed out, how
ever, that if this were done
on a large scale market prices
probably would . be affected.
Nevertheless, some growers with
long Christmas shopping lists
have taken advantage of the
opportunity.
The loan program, designed
to enable producers to delay
marketing until prices are ad
vantageous, already has given
farmers control of their wheat
six months or more after har
vest In some cases.
Loans will not mature until
April 30, 1940.

This Is How We Financed
Our Christmas Shopping...
Less than a week ago Bob and I were having a sad
case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which
to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn't let our
selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of the Classified
Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention
ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's
three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old
golf clubs which we had no more use for. Sure
enough, Bob sold everything and handed me the cash
with which to Christmas-shop for the family. We're
happy. And the folks who bought those former posses
sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas
too.
