Harry F. Relfstecit, president. Champaign County Farm Bureau, and , . ': 

 a loat of "Soyet+e." 



"The more soybeans we can use in the higher-priced out- 

 lets, the higher the price." 



Now, It's Soyette Bread 



CHAMPAIGN county is one of the 

 leading if not the top, soybean 

 producing county in Illinois. 



Champaign county farmers want more 

 uses developed for the soybean and its 

 products, particularly food uses, a high- 

 er-price outlet. 



Therefore when the Soybean Product.s 

 Company of Chicago suggested that the 

 Champaign County Farm Bureau co- 

 operate in boosting "Soyette" bread, of- 

 ficers, directors and members entered 

 whole-heartedly into the scheme. 



"Soyettes" are made by cooking soy- 

 beans in cocoanut oil to soften and re- 

 move the hull. Then the cocoanut oil is 

 extracted by centrifugal force leaving the 

 whole bean without the hull. When vhe 

 bean is cracked the result is "Soyettes."' 



Soyette bread contains approximately 

 16 per cent Soyettes and 12 per cent 

 honey. Otherwise it is made much like 

 any other bread. The new product is 

 very tasty says Eugene Curtis, I. A. A 

 director from Champaign county, and 

 should become popular. 



The Quality Bakery at Champaign hh^ 

 been making the bread. A letter was 

 sent by the Farm Bureau to all members 

 recently urging them to "ask your 

 grocer" for Soyette bread. 



"In 1935 the farmers of Champaign 

 county produced more than 2,000,000 

 bushels of soybeans, and the farmers 



of the United States produced 39,000,000 

 bushels," the letter to members said. 

 "This is one of our most important crops. 

 Best outlets for soybeans, commercially, 

 according to prices are 1. edible indus- 

 try, 2. oils, paints, varnishes, 3. soaps, 

 etc. 



"The more soybeans we can use in the 

 higher-priced outlets, the higher the soy- 

 bean price. Let's help introduce Soyette 

 bread. Ask your grocer for it." 



Farm Bureau members came to town, 

 embarrassed many a grocer who didn't 

 have the bread. One chain store sought 

 to feature it at a cut price, was flatly 

 turned down by the bakery. Meantime 

 sales of "Soyette" are mounting.

Producers Creamery will make close 

 to one million pounds of Prairie Farms 

 butter in its first year of operation if it 

 keeps up the pace thus far set. May 

 make will run around 80,000 lbs. April 

 volume beat March by 24 per cent. 



$35 MILLIONS. 



This amount was paid out last year 

 by life insurance companies on death 

 claims of policy holders killed in auto 

 accidents. It doesn't include disability 

 payments, liability for property damage 

 and other costs.

SOMEWHAT early perhaps — but wr 

 feel that all parents should give 

 early thought to the firework* 

 hazard to which the children will be ex- 

 posed in the next two months. It's all 

 right to celebrate the 4th of July but 

 such celebration should be an occasion 

 for fun for the entire family, rather than 

 grrief caused by the unwise use of fire- 

 works. When plannnig your celebration, 

 remember that last year the Associated 

 Press reported 216 people met death due 

 to fireworks, automobiles, drowning and 

 other accidents. 



Of nearly 5,500 cars tested on the 

 Safety Lane this season, between 60 and 

 70 per cent of them should not be on the 

 highways until they are placed in a 

 safe operating condition. We urge you 

 to check carefully the brakes, light; 

 and other safety factors on your own 

 car so that you or your family will not 

 be involved in an accident that could 

 have been avoided through reasonable 

 care. Besides having your own car in 

 perfect mechanical condition, be ever on 

 the alert for the careless driver whose 

 car may be without a tail light or ade- 

 quate brakes. 



Tractors and horses continue as the 

 principal causes for farm accidents in 

 Illinois. Everybody using the tractor 

 should be thoroughly schooled in all 

 the dangers inherent in such a piece erf 

 machinery before being permitted to op- 

 erate it. The fact is that accidents, 

 whether they occur in handling live 

 stock, tractors, or automobiles, can near- 

 ly all be avoided by a little care. A min- 

 ute saved at the price of an accident i» 

 no bargain. 



The old swimming hole is calling 

 again and the boys should not be denied 

 the pleasure and healthful exercise to 

 be derived from swimming. No doubt, 

 many of our fondest boyhood memories 

 concern the happenings around the old 

 hole where we would fish without snc- 

 cess until disgusted, then swim. Before 

 we send the boys off, however, we should 

 know that they have a sound knowledge 

 of swimming. No more profitable hours 

 can be spent from the standpoint of srfe- 

 ty than giving children such instructien.
