Foreign Soybean
Market Urged
A general lackluster market
for soy oil throughout Western
Europe last year shows U. S.
growers need foreign market
development activities to boost
sales of this soybean product,
according to Hilyard Simpkins,
Allentown, Mid-Atlantic Soybean
Association president.
In the Western European
countries, soy oil consumption
increased from 1,313 tons to 1,438
tons in 1972. Because of changes
in government regulations, Spain
and Portugal accounted for the
biggest jump in consumption but
in at least six countries total-use
declined last year.
“Soy oil continues to be a profit
headache. If U. S. growers want
to continue to expand markets,
educational and marketing effort
on soy oil must increase.”
In Spain, a government ap
proved promotion program for
vegetable seed oils produced a 60
percent jump in total use of soy
oil. The Spanish people now use
12.4 pounds of soy oil per person
compared to 7.8 pounds in 1971.
Regulations m Portugal now
permit soybeans to be identified
on oil package labels.
U.S. growers started the first
soy oil marketing program for
Western Europe earlier this year
in Italy The largest Italian
soybean processing company is
cooperating m the plan. With the
help of U S. growers, more
programs will be developed to
boost sales of this soybean
product.”
U.S soybean growers conduct
this program through the
American Soybean Association
(ASA) in cooperation with the
Italian soybean processor and the
USDA Foreign Agricultural
Service ASA directs foreign
market development, production
research and government
relations programs for soybean
producers.

TOmORROW
is the theme of Northeastern ’73
We look for it to be the most spectacular NEPPCO
exposition over which the sun has risen in many
years.
Here’s why. With fluctuating prices . . . uncertain
demand . . . consumerism . . . rising costs . . .
environmentalists and food fads all coming down hard
on the mdustryman, he wants answers. That’s where
Northeastern '73 will really shine!
/Effllflflß/
In-depth presentations to give you tomorrow’s short
term and long-term outlook on federal regulations,
exports and imports, feed costs, prices . . . plus full
review of the world's most successful promotional
programs, outlook, inflation, the im
pact from abroad, and more.
EXHIBIT/
It will be like the good old days in central Pennsyl
vania . . . more exhibits and demonstrations than
we’ve had in many years . . . but with the very latest
in agribusiness products and technology.
FAVORITE/
Don’t forget the Market Egg Show . . . the extensive
youth programs . . . the scheduled meetings of sev-
Kutztown and Readipg Fairs. At
Kutztown, the exhibit took fifth
place out of a class of 15, and at
Reading the exhibit placed third
out of a class of eight.

Age of Electricity
In 1831, Michael Faraday
moved a magnet through a
coil of copper wire and found
that an electric current was
produced in the wire. This
great discovery is the princi
