...model on display for farmers' inspection. Costing the same $500,000,000, it was basically identical with the apparatus whipped together last spring after the Supreme Court had ruled the AAAct off the road.

...soybeans, but Reader Mead is right in rating Decatur's Staley as a potent longtime soybean processor. As a North Carolina farm boy, Professor Staley was first shown soybean plants by a returned missionary, never lost interest in the crop thereafter. A. E. Staley Manufacturing Co., makers of corn products, crushed 5,764 bu. of beans when it opened its bean processing plant in October 1922, crushed 317,202 bu. in March...
