♦ AN AUTUMN PILGRIM. ♦
He takes the open path at dawn
•With golden lures to lead hm on—
The truant wind’s low murmurings,
The surge of southward sweeping
wings,
He sees the gentian by the brook
Cast back at him an azure look.
And marks above the soft green sod
A pirouting butterfly,
Like a brown shred of goldenrod,
Go drifting by.
He tastes the brew that Robin Hood
Once quaffed within the ancient wood —
(The aromatic essences
Os beechen and of balsam trees;
And feels an ardor run along
His veins and stir his lips to songg—
A simple strain of reedy mirth,
Echoes of airs Arcadian.
Full of the ecstacy of earth ,
The joy of Pan.
M A
He thrills to hear the cricket’s croon
Beneath the arches of the noon,
When the red harvest promise smiles
From all the fruited orchard aisles;
And gleams more glory from the hues
That on the hillslopes flame and fuse —
Senses in them a stronger spell
Than in the radiant dyes that glgow
On canvases by Raphael
And Angelo.
And if the dusk and dewfal! find
Him still unhoused, he knows them
kind
I,ike the light touch of tender hands;
And through the quiet autumn lands,
Accompanied by dreams, he goes
His spirit filled with sweet repose;
A fair beam beckons from afar,
A guerdon and a guide to rest—
One pilgrim star!
—Clinton Scollard.

THE GREATEST SOYA
BEAN MARKET IN
WORLD ATTRACTIVE
CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, March 7.
- -British efforts to prevent soya beans
from getting into the hands of Ger
mans and the discussion in the Brit
ish parliament of the many uses to
which these beans can be put in con
nection with the war, have attracted
the world’s attention to this city, the
greatest soya bean market in the
world.
Before the interruption of the bean
trade by the war, the value of soya
beans exported from China was var
iously estimated from twenty-five
million to forty million gold dollars
annually.
Manchuria is the home of soya
beans and nearly seventy-five per cent
of the beans produced on the plains of
Northern China are shipped on the
railroads centering in Changchun. The
railroad north from here to Harmin is
under Russian control, and beans go
ing that direction are transferred at
Harbin and sent to Vladivostok for
exportation in normal times. The
railroad south of Changchun is under
Japanese control ,and beans going out
that direction pass through Mukden
and on south to the port of Dairen.
Few products of the soil have such
varied uses as soya beans. In the
hands of Germans who have developed
its possibilities to its fullest extent,
the soya bean would provide sustain
ing ration for soldiers, food for cattle,
and of great value also for use in the
manufacture of dynamite and high
explosives.
Within ten years there have been
marvelous discoveries concerning the
uses for soya beans. When the Jap
anese overran the plans of Monchuria
in their contest with Russia, they first
'saw the possibilities of the beans so
ui iversally produced by the Manchur
ians. Exports on the extraction of
vegetable oils found the value of the
bean oil, and practically all the na
tions of Europe began an investigation
of this marvelous product, which had
fcrmerlly been used by foreigners in I
.THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDEK
the manufacture of sauce.
Warehouses have sprung up on the
wharves at Vladivostok and Dairen
jvhich handle little else but beans,
and the great jute bags containing the
degumes pour into the two ports by
the trainload and suggest Portland,
Oregon, at the season when the Ore
gon and Washington wheat drains
down the Columbia River Valley for
exportation.
Great storage warehouses have. Jso
been erected in this city by firms rep
reesnting the European countries, as
well as Japan, but the Germans be
came preeminent in the trade and led
all other nations in their development
of the possibilities of the bean.
The soya bean yields a heavy per
centage of vegetable oil of sort well
adapted to scores of uses. This is
available for food products. It makes
a substitute for lard and for olive oil
and is utilized in oleomargarine and
various other better substitutes. It
enters into the manufacture of varn
ishes and paints and is used in imitat
ing rubber. Chinese farmers use tihe
residue of the bean, after extracting
teh oil, for fertilizer, and it is now
coming into general use in many oth
er sections for the same purpose.
Beancake is now sought in the dairy
countries of Europe for cattle food,
especially in Denmark. A large fac
tory has been constructed in Copen
hagen to treat beans.
Soya beans produced in Manchurio
•are of three classes, the yellow, the
green, and the black bean. The yellow
bean is most used in export trade. It
has a pod which varies in length from
one and one half to two inches and is
produced on a stem which grows up
right to a height of about three feet
in good soil.
The bean section of Manchuria re
sembles Canadian wheat districts.
Frequently along the Manchurian rail
way there are districts where the only
crop on the rolling prairies for a
hundred miles is beans. They are in
tensively cultivated by the Chinese,
who have very small tracts of land
and keep their entire families busy
hoeing and weeding the beans.
There are few fences in this coun
try. Division lines are generally
marked by low heaps of earth and in
all directions there are family grave
yards, with many round mounds and
scrubby trees planted in honor of an
cestors. As in all parts of China, the
farmers live in vihages. Consequent
ly few buildings are seen in the open
country. The plowing is all done
with cattle and tiny donkeys hitched
to old-fashioned plows entirely of
wood.
