takes place in a large insulated tube
set at an angle of approximately 30
degrees with the floor. A screw con-
veyor operates inside the tube, carry-
ing the bean flakes from the bottom
toward the top as the solvent pours
down.
The solvent carrying the oil is
drawn off from the base of the tube
and run through evaporators where
the solvent passes oft as vapor and
the oil remains. Teh solvent is used
over and over again. The oil is used
in the manufacture of car finishes
and in binding foundry cores.
Aside from the hydroelectric plant
power also will be available from
a standby steam plant.

Ford Opens Soy Bean
Demonstration Plant
Saline, Mich, August 3 —- Center
of interest' for farmers within u ra-
dius of 200 miles, Henry Ford's de-
monstration soy bean factory front-
ing the Detroit-Chicago turnpike
a half-mile west of this charming
Michigan town, has just begun opera-
tions.
The factory . roup comprises two
buildings. One 5s the historic Schuy-
ler grist mill which has been conver-
ted into a cleaning and storage plant.
A new frame structure back of the
grist mill houses my bean flaking
and oil exhra tion .quipment Power
is supplied by a hydroelectric plant
fed by water brom-hi by millrace
from a dam buiii r,.us the Saline
river along the ri?:ht-of-way of the
, De iroit-Chicago high way.
'More than 100 farmers within, a
200-mile radius of the Saline plant
are now growing soy beans on 22,-
588 acres from seed furnished by thi
ford Company. In addition, the Ford
Company has 15,624 more acres seed-
ed under contract The total yield
markets or dispose of it to other buy-
ers.
Most of the crop, nowever, is ex-
pected to be delivered to the Saline
plant. The cleaning and flaking plant
at Saline, together with those at Te-
. urn.-fh and Haydtn Mills have a cap-
acity of 300,000 bushels a year and
are expected to be kept busy througn
the 12 months.
The extraction plant in the rear of
the grist mill here has a capacity of
1-10,000 bushels a year. A similar a-
mount will be processed at a new
plant now under construction a;, Mi-
lan, Mich. The balance of the crop
will be retained for seed for use in
the spring oi 1939.
The historic old grist mill already
has become the mecca for farmers
for many miles around Saline, and
r promises to become the show place
oi the Ford soy bean operations in
southeastern Michigan.
Soy beans brought to the plant
are delivered at the rear. There
trucks dump their loads into a hop-
per, from which the beans :je hoist-
ed by conveyor to cleaning equip-
ment on the second floor and thencf
to storage bins on the upper floors.
As the beans are required for pro-
cessing they are carried by conveyor
to the new building in the rear. There

Abilene, Tex. August 3 — An in-
terested spectator in the Investiga-
tion of alleged mishandling of Buch-
anan Dam, scheduled at Austin this
week, is the West Texas Utilities
Company whose interest centers
around flood control and generation
of power.
The company, which expressed It-
self as being "heartily in bavor of
flood conU'ol," long has maintained
that the dam could not serve two
purposes. "To control flood waters,"
an officer said, "Buchanan Dam must
be drained during dry periods in or-
der to catch sudden downours. Use
of the dam for electric power genera-
tion requires that it be kept full, or
nearly full, at all times. It is self-
evident that it connot successfully
perform both services."
An article in a recent issue of the
Dallas News, written by Lynn Lan-
drum was cited as revealing the sta-
tus on which the government has
sought to operate the $22,000,000 dam
and it reads:
"The whole trouble in the matter
of the Colorado Dams, as with the
TVA system and many other similar
projects, is that they are sham dams.
They pretend to be one thing when
they are another. That pretense is
not born in the Tennessee Authority
or in the Lower Colorado River Au-
thority. I is born in the mind and
heart of Franklin D. Roosevelt him-
self. He is trying to put something
by.
"Mr. Roosevelt is trying to put
something by the Constitution. He
is retending that a high dam, speci -
ally designed *o produced power, is
the best tye of dam for flood pre-
vention, for navigation and irrigat-
ion. The high dam Is best for power.
The high dam brimful of water at all
times is best for power. But the
whole point is that Mr. Roosevelt
hasn't any right to build a power
dam—unless that Is incident to some
thing else he has a right to build.
Nor has he the right to put the state
of Texas into the power business.
"Trickiness is an essential element
in the Roosevelt power formula. Any
way fo get by—that is the idea. That
is the rule of the impsoviser, the ex-
temporiser. the oportunist. But it is
n oor rule for statecraft. . .
"You can rest assured that the man
in charge of the dam were named *>
run a power dam and they know It.
They did what they ought to do if a
power dam is what Texas wants. A
poer dam that is empty of water is
no good for power—there Is no water
wall to run the turbines. So they let
the dam fill up. They would have
been fired if they hadn't.
"The damage of the lower Colora-
do is attributable primarily to the
flood, of course, and secondarily to
the fact that when the flood came, | broad at the hip end.
