If you shaved this morning,
the chances are good you were
using a preparation containing
soybean oil. But don’t let that
surpiise you Soybean oil goes
into hundreds ot items fiom
mayonnaise to paint, from Tun
101'a school crajons to your
antiknoclc gasoline.
E\eiy year industry uses
350 million pounds ot soybean
oil, according to Dr Russell
E Larson, directoi, Coopera
me Extension Service, Penn
syhania State University. It
also uses 60 million bushels ot
corn to make starches lor pap

and other uses In fact, indus
try buys 4 2 billion dollars
worth ot nonfood products
from the farmers of America,

That’s big business In fact,
Dr. Larson pointed out, it’s
about one-eighth of the farm

year But, that “isn’t all the

Looking over the scientist’s
shoulder, you would see re
search with guar seeds from
India, sorghum, okra, hemp,
sesban and kenaf. If you don’t
recognize all these names,
don’t worry. Only 30 years
ago no one had heard of soy
beans.
Why search for new uses
for these farm products? Dr.
Larson explains that these are
natural resources which'-need
never be used up as in the
cases of coal or petroleum.
