events the Beans, either whole or crushed into cake, will have to 

 be reckoned with as a serious competitor of the better known and 

 more generally used feeding stuffs. " 



" Having regard to the relatively high price of Soya Bean Oil 

 (21 155. to 22 Naked London) compared with the Soya Oil 

 Beans (5 i8s. Qd. to 6 is. 3d.), it seems probable in the light 

 of our present knowledge of the use of an excessive quantity 

 of oil in a ration, that a large proportion of the imported beans 

 will find its way into the hands of Cattle Food Manufacturers, 

 who, either by hydraulic pressure or by solvents, will extract a 

 portion of the oil and sell the residue in the form of Cake or 

 Meal, in which condition it is better suited to general feeding pur- 

 poses. In general, it may be said that the resultant Cake or Meal 

 will have a feeding value about equal to good Decorticated Cotton 

 Seed Cake or Meal, and I anticipate that when used in place of 

 the latter and in similar proportions the Soya Cake or Meal will 

 prove as effective as the Cotton Cake or Meal. As I write, Soya 

 Cake is quoted in London at 6, 55. to over 7., as compared 

 with Decorticated Cotton Cake in the same market at 7, 55. to 

 7, 75. 6d. per ton. Those farmers who have the courage of their 

 convictions, and who experiment with Soya Bean Cake immediately 

 will, I believe, be amply recompensed. "
