EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
Soy beans, as human food, are one of the cheapest and best sources of com- 
plete protein, fat, minerals and Vitamin B,. The high protein content of soy 
beans is more nearly like that found in meat and more easily digested. For 
twenty-five years the famous Battle Creek Sanatorium has been serving tasty, 
healthful soy bean foods in many ways. They are more drouth resistant and 
less susceptible to insect injury than other garden beans. Be sure to plant some 
of this easily grown, sure cropping new vegetable. The green beans are deli- 
cious and ideal for winter use dry and are never attacked by weevil. To shell 
green beans, pour boiling water over them and allow to stand until cool 
enough to handle. To cook when dry, soak overnight. 
CULTURE—After danger of frost, plant in rows approximately 3 feet apart. When 6 
to 8 inches high thin to 1 plant, every 3 to 5 inches. Give clean, shallow cultivation 
as you would snap beans. One pound plants about 200 feet. 
54—EASY COOK (135 days)—An edible soy bean that can be cooked in about 
half the time of other varieties. Used either in the green state or dried. Easy 
Cooks are in demand among sanatoriums for flour for diabetics. A heavy 
yielder. “Analysis shows oil content of 21.53 per cent and protein 38.32 per cent.
