by Janet Spencer Economically speaking, soybeans are the most important bean in the world. Come along with Tidbits as we consider soy! SOY IN HISTORY • The soybean is a member of the legume family, and a legume is a plant that has peas or beans growing inside pods. Around 5,000 years ago, people in Asia began cultivating and eating soybeans. Soybeans are very nutritious and were so important to the ancient Chinese that they were considered to be one of the five sacred grains needed for life, along with rice, wheat, barley, and millet. • By the late 1700s soybean cultivation had spread to Europe. Soybeans were one of the few types of beans available in the Old World, until Columbus and other explorers visited the New World and brought back the beans the natives were growing there: string beans, kidney beans, and lima beans. SOYBEANS IN THE U.S. • In 1765 a sailor named Samuel Bowen came back to the U.S. from China with a sack of soybean seeds. He gave them to Henry Yonge, the Surveyor-General of Georgia. Yonge planted them and grew them with phenomenal success, reaping three crops in a single growing season. (continued next page)

SOYBEANS IN THE U.S. (cont’d) • Samuel Bowen took the soybeans that were harvested in the state of Georgia and used them to make soy sauce and soy noodles, patenting the process he used. He presented his knowledge to British monarch King George III and was rewarded with a gift of 200 guineas from the king and a medal from the Society of Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce in England. However, when Bowen died in 1777, all Western interest in the soybean faded and wasn’t revived for many years. A SACK OF SEEDS • In 1851 a Japanese junk foundered in the ocean off the coast of Japan. A ship called the Auckland bound for San Francisco rescued the stranded sailors. When the ship arrived in California, port authorities forbad the Japanese sailors from leaving the ship for fear they would spread disease. • Dr. Benjamin Edwards was in the area waiting for a ship to take him the round-about way back to his home in Alton, Illinois. He examined the Japanese sailors, pronounced them healthy, and allowed them shore leave. He received a thank-you gift from them. The gift was a package of soybeans. • Edwards took the seeds to Illinois with him and gave them to a horticulturist in town named John Lea. They grew so well that Lea began passing seeds out to other people interested in horticulture and agriculture, who in turn passed seeds onto others. SOYBEANS CATCH ON • In America, soybeans were thought of only in terms of hay and forage for livestock. Nearly all kinds of livestock thrived on nearly all parts of the soybean plant. But by the late 1890s, western scientists experimenting with soybeans began to make new discoveries. (continued next page)

Don’t Quit on Feral Cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your recent column on caring for feral cats, and I disagree that such animals can never be tamed. I used to believe that as well, until seven years ago when a skin-and-bones tiger cat showed up on my patio. The starved cat that I thought was dead when I first saw it is now a loving fat boy that sleeps with me every night. I’m not saying it was fast or easy experience. It took a whole year before he would even sniff my finger, and much longer for me to convince him that having his ear scratched would be awesome. I have two other cats that I am working with now. “Mitzi” will allow me to pet her, but does not like to be held, nor will she come into the house ... yet. “Bullwinkle” most likely will never come in, as he is deathly afraid of dogs and I have three. He
sleeps in our barn instead, and shows up every morning for breakfast. I had him neutered through our local TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) program. So, while not all feral cats will become “normal,” loving felines, it is possible. Good luck. -- D. In Palmyra, New York DEAR D: Thank you for the encouragement! It takes a tremendous amount of patience to convince a feral cat to approach you. As you noted above, participating in a TNR program help control feral cat populations. It also can reduce the chance of injury from fights over territory or members of the opposite sex. Readers, contact your local shelter or veterinarian to find out if there’s a TNR program near you.

SOYBEANS CATCH ON • Researchers found that soybean plants, like all legumes, improve the quality of the soil they grow in because they are able to take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form of nitrogen that enriches dirt. All plants need nitrogen to grow, but not all plants can convert it from the air. Other plants grow better in soil that legumes have recently grown in because of the increased level of nitrogen. • George Washington Carver began studying them along with the peanut, and found that the oil in the beans could be used in many different ways. Health food advocate John Kellogg promoted the use of soybeans at his health spa in Battle Creek, Michigan. His chef, Jan Willemse, used them in as many ways as possible. Many of Willemse’s recipes were even showcased at the 1934 World’s Fair. People finally began to think of soybeans as more than just livestock feed. • In the 1900s, a man named William Morse, a researcher for USDA, devoted his entire 42-year career to promoting the soybean. He founded the American Soybean Association; he wrote books about soybeans; he published papers; and he lectured. By the time he retired in 1949 he had earned the title of “The Father of Soybeans.” • In 1922 in Decatur, Illinois, the Staley Company built the first major soybean processing plant, giving Illinois farmers a guaranteed market price for soybeans. By 1938, the U.S. was exporting soy meal to other countries. • When World War II began, soybean production soared. Soybeans fed millions of starving refugees. Soybean oil replaced imported fats and oils needed to make glycerin, which was used in many ways as a solvent and lubricant. Soybean meal increased animal production. Soybean protein was used as a meat extender. (continued next page)

Little Golden Books Q: When I was a youngster in the 1940s, almost every birthday and Christmas would include at least two or three “Little Golden Books.” My earliest one was “Baby’s Book” published in 1942. Others are “Nursery Tales,” “The Lively Little Rabbit,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “The Shy Little Kitten,” “The Saggy Baggy Elephant” and “A Year in the City.” All are in fair-to-good condition. Even though I have no intention of selling them, I am curious about current values. -- Lynda, Madison, Wisconsin A: It is interesting to note that the Western Publishing, the parent company of Little Golden Books, started in a Racine, Wisconsin, basement. Edward Henry Wadewitz, a 30-year-old bookkeeper, purchased a small printing company in 1907 for $2,504, some of which he had borrowed from a brother. Throughout the 1920s and ‘30s, the company continued to prosper and grow. According to “Collecting Little Golden Books,” by Steve Santi and published by Krause Books, the first Little Golden Books were published during the autumn of 1942. The first 10 titles are “Three Little Kittens,” “Bedtime Stories,” “The Alphabet A-Z,” “Mother Goose,” “Prayers for Children,” “The Little Red Hen,” “Nursery Songs,” “The Pokey Little Puppy,” “The Golden Book of Fairy Tales” and “Baby’s Book.”

Values vary, but most of the early editions of the Little Golden Books from the 1940s seem to be valued in the $25-$100 range depending on both title and condition. *** Q: I got married in 1958, and one of my wedding presents was a milk glass plate with a hand-painted apple in its center. It was identified as being made by Fenton glass. Does it have value? -- Betty, Hastings, Nebraska A: Your milk glass plate should have a lacy-edge and was made during the mid-1950s. I found it referenced in “Fenton Glass” by Mark F. Moran, who believes your plate would retail for about $25. *** Q: I have a large brass belt buckle that depicts Mickey Mouse and is marked “Hollywood, California, USA, 1937.” What can you tell me about it? -- V.B., B.C., Canada A: All authentic Disney items are marked as such. However, I cannot find your belt buckle in any of my Disney guides and believe it is probably a reproduction.

* It’s a popular stereotype: a rejected lover sitting on a barstool, drinking to try to forget the heartbreak. The problem is, drinking isn’t really an effective way to go about acquiring amnesia, even temporarily. Those who study such things say that imbibing alcohol can actually help people recall events that occurred just before they started drinking.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com HENRY FORD’S MAGIC BEANS • One of Henry Ford’s interests was to improve the lot of the American farmer. He became fascinated by the soybean and sent one of his researchers to China to investigate the ways the soybean was used there. In the early 1930s Ford had 300 different types of soybean planted on 8,000 acres of farmland he owned, and his scientists began to experiment. The experimentation, which cost his company over a million dollars, paid off. • Soybean oil was used to make a superior automobile paint; it was used to oil the casting molds in the same way a cook oils a baking pan; soy fibers were stuffed into seat cushions; and soybean meal was molded into buttons and knobs for use as handles and horns. Eventually it was estimated that a bushel’s worth of soybeans went into every Ford car that rolled off the line. They were used in the window trim, the accelerator pedal, the timing gears, and many other small parts. SOY JOY • Today soy products are used in hundreds of ways: car wax, chain oil, cleaning solvents, fuel additives, hydraulic oils, paint strippers, grease, lubricants, motor oil, spray foam insulation, ink, crayons, odor reducers, nail polish remover, lawn fertilizer, hand lotion, hand cleaners, hair care products, candles, fire extinguishers, bug sprays, disinfectants, linoleum, soaps, varnishes, tape, explosives, leather softeners, and more. • About 80 million acres are planted in soy every year in the U.S., mostly in the Midwest. Many areas average 50 bushels per acre. Each bushel of soybeans (which weighs 60 lbs) can be processed to produce 10 lbs. of soybean oil, or 39 lbs. of soy flour, or 11.8 lbs. of isolated soy protein. The U.S. grows more soybeans than any other nation, supplying half the world’s soybeans. Soy also supplies more protein meal for livestock feed than any other source.

Amazing Animals TURTLES • A typical turtle shell is made up of about 50 different bones, which are actually modified ribs and vertebrae. Shells have nerves and a blood supply so turtles can bleed and feel pain if their shell is damaged. • The alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle in North America, growing to 2.5 feet (76 cm) long and weighing up to 200 lbs. (91 kg). An appendage on its tongue looks like a worm and acts as bait to draw prey straight to the turtle’s mouth. • Some turtles can make noises, such as a South American species that clucks like a chicken, an Asian tortoise that whines like an electric motor, a Central American species that yelps like a dog when attacked, and the leatherback sea turtle which makes a belching sound. • The largest turtle in the world is the leatherback sea turtle, which can weigh over 2,000 lbs (900 kg). • Green sea turtles make a remarkable 1,200 mile (1,931 km) migration across the ocean to lay their eggs on Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Why do they go that far? Scientists hypothesize that sea turtles, being one of the more ancient species on the planet, were around in the days when continental drift had not yet separated Brazil from Africa. The turtles simply swam a short distance from Brazil to lay their eggs on Ascension Island. But as South America drifted slowly west over the eons, the distance the turtles had to swim kept increasing. No single turtle would have noticed the difference, but after thousands of years, the turtles were swimming 1,200 miles to build their nests. As the distance increased, turtles evolved to become larger, stronger, and more muscular with greater stores of fat in order to increase their chances of making the journey successfully. (cont’d)

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 TURTLES (cont’d) • Over a million sea birds and 100,000 marine mammals die each year after trying to eat plastic, including helium balloons commonly released by schoolchildren. A sick sea turtle found on the beaches of Hawaii was taken to a vet. It died two days later. An autopsy found the following items clogging the turtle’s digestive tract: a baggie, golf tee, fishing line, plastic flower, bottle cap, and comb. • The only known instance of turtle-napping occurred in 1978 in Brooklyn. A 75 lb. (34 kg) show turtle named Little Rock was snatched from his motel room while his circus owner was gone. The next day, the owner received a ransom demand of $650. He was particularly concerned, because the turtle suffered from a sinus condition and required daily steam baths to keep his nasal passages clear. Two detectives hid out at the drop-off spot, and arrested a woman who came to collect the money. She led them to the turtle, who was suffering a severe sinus attack. Four more people were arrested in connection with the turtle-napping. While they were being booked, Little Rock recovered from his sinus condition in the police station shower room. • Postman Wilson Rittenhouse of Milford, New Jersey found a turtle feasting on his prize tomatoes in his backyard. He didn’t feel like sharing his produce with a turtle, so on his route the next day, he dropped the turtle off about a mile and a half (2.4 km) from his home. Two weeks later he found the turtle in his back yard again. Now he marked the turtle’s shell and took it a mile and a half in another direction. Two weeks later, it was back again. Next he drove the turtle across the Delaware River, into Pennsylvania, and on for another five miles (8 km). In all, he travelled ten miles (16 km) before dropping the turtle off. Four years went by— but the same turtle once again showed up in his tomato patch.

HORSE RACING • In 1896, Edward, Prince of Wales, attended a horse race to watch his horse, Persimmon, run. It had rained heavily and the track was extremely muddy. But Persimmon won magnificently, and the Prince left his royal box to congratulate the jockey. On the way across the muddy track, the elastic strap on the bottom of his pants snapped. Undaunted, the Prince simple ripped the elastic off and rolled up his pants legs so they wouldn’t get muddy. The next day, men all over London appeared in public with their pants rolled up. The new style of pants cuffs swept the country and is still popular today. • Broker’s Tip was the race horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 1933. He had never won a race before that day, and never won a race afterwards. • John R. Braden was a world-champion racehorse. He won huge purses and was seldom beaten. Between races he always returned to his hometown of Presque Isle, Maine, where the residents idolized him. He saw a lot of important visitors and had a large bank account. When he died, the entire town went into mourning. In his will, John R. Braden left the town $150,000. They used the money to build a new town hall, library, playground, and hospital. All were dedicated to the memory of John R. Braden—one of the fastest racehorses of his day. • Basic Witness was the six-to-one favorite to win at the Atlantic City Race track in 1974. The starting gate flew open, all the horses were off like a shot— except for Basic Witness, who did not move from the stall. No amount of prodding by the jockey could provoke him to move from the stall. Then the jockey discovered that the horse’s tail was caught in the rear door of the starting stall. Basic Witness was scratched and the money bet on him refunded.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com HORSE RACING (cont’d) • Sweet Kiss was the name of an old mare running in the steeplechase at Belmont in 1923. The odds were 20 to 1 against her, but her jockey, Frank Hayes, was hoping for one last victory before they both retired from the racetrack. Sweet Kiss ran flawlessly and thundered across the finish line ahead by two lengths. The crowd rushed onto the track to congratulate the jockey—and were confused when he refused to sit up in his saddle or acknowledge their calls. That was when they discovered Frank Hayes had died during the home stretch. It was the only time a horse has been piloted to victory by a dead jockey. • At the Sunshine racetrack in Florida, the tractor pulling the starting gate off the track broke down just after the horses had started the race. The tractor refused to start up again and it looked like the starting gate was going to stay put, leading to crashes and injuries amongst horses and jockeys. While some fans rushed to the track to try to warn jockeys about the obstacle, other fans ran to the starting gate and helped haul it off the track manually. It was moved out of the way with just seconds to spare. • In Missouri in 1865 a young black boy and his mother were kidnapped to be sold as slaves. Nobody noticed or cared much, except for a nearby kindly white farmer who went out searching for them, He found the kidnappers after several days of searching. The mother had already disappeared, but they still had the boy. The farmer started negotiating a ransom for the boy. The kidnappers didn’t understand why he would be interested in a young, small, sickly black boy, but when he offered to exchange his racehorse for the kid, a deal was made. Who knows whatever became of the racehorse, but the boy grew up to change the nation. He was George Washington Carver and his scientific discoveries affected millions of people.

DEAR DR. ROACH: What’s your opinion on cooled thermotherapy for benign enlargement of the prostate? I recently was put on Flomax and finasteride, and was given the option of having this procedure to eliminate taking these two drugs. My urologist has had great success, while my internist says the success rate is only 60 percent. My internist did say it’s great if it works. -- S.V. ANSWER: Benign enlargement of the prostate is very common in older men, and medications like tamsolusin (Flomax) and finasteride (Proscar) often are used, and are pretty effective in most men. The most effective treatment remains surgery, called transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP, which reduces symptoms by at least half in 98 percent of men. Unfortunately, TURP causes side effects in at least 20 percent of men, so there are several procedures designed to try to get the benefit of surgery without the drawbacks. Cooled thermotherapy is a procedure using a microwave device to reduce prostate tissue. It isn’t as effective as TURP: Only 72 percent of men reduce their symptoms by half or more; however, it has reduced side effects, such as need for blood transfusion. Unfortunately, there were more symptoms of uncomfortable urination, urgency and need for a catheter after surgery. I think both of your doctors are right: Some men have good experiences, but not everyone will get relief. Some serious side effects are better with thermotherapy, and others are worse. You need to decide how much taking the medications bothers you and if you can live with the symptoms the way they are. READERS: The new booklet on the prostate gland discusses cancer, enlargement, infections and erectile dysfunction in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow up to four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I just read your column regarding the shingles vaccine. I am an insurance agent who is often asked about coverage for the shingles vaccine. The Affordable Care Act does include this under preventive care for individuals 60 and over. Preventive care is covered at 100 percent for health plans that are not grandfathered. (Grandfathered health plans are plans that have been continued virtually unchanged since 2010. They are not required to comply with all aspects of ACA, so these plans might not provide this service.) You also may be interested in knowing that, in our area, the Department of Health clinic does offer the shingles vaccine for a fee of $5 for individuals over the age of 50 who do not have it covered under a health plan. I am not aware if this is unique to our area, or if it is a widespread provision. ANSWER: Thank you for writing in. Others wrote to me that their Department of Health paid for most or all of the cost. Some said they could get the vaccine covered at a pharmacy but not at physician’s offices. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

You’re Doing It All Wrong
Baseball is a maddening game; ask any Mets or Orioles fan, and they’ll surely agree. The new “sudden death” one-game wild card isn’t a playoff -- it’s a play-in game. The fans hang with their team for 162 games and at the end of it all, turns out they only got to play one more game than the last-place team. But baseball has always been a bit weird. It’s the only sport I can think of that doesn’t have the same playing field dimensions. It’s the only sport that I can think of where the defense controls the ball, and the offense’s job is to protect the plate (yes, maybe cricket is another example). And it is easily the most stubborn when it comes to the “unwritten” rules. For instance, it’s the bottom of the ninth and you’re down a run. Your leadoff hitter gets a base on balls. What happens next? If you’re like most managers, you would attempt to bunt him over into scoring position, right? Well, Brian Kenney, anchorman for the MLB Network, is here to tell you that you’re wrong. Kenney is one of those guys, you know, the fancy-schmancy-SABRmetric-money-ball-BillJames-disciple type that never played the game but is a big know-it-all because he uses outlandish things like irrefutable statistics to back up his arguments. In Kenney’s new book, “Ahead of the Curve” (Simon & Shuster), he points out that the run expectancy with a man on first is 0.94. With a man on second, one out the number craters to 0.72. You’re giving the other team a free out, and you’re taking the bat out of two players’ hands ... the guy bunting and the guy who is on-deck after the other two fail to drive in that run. Yet the manager is lauded whether it works or not because it puts the blame on the two hitters who “failed in the clutch” because “he played the percentages,” which is true, except that he played the wrong ones. Kenney also goes on to disparage the won-lost statistic for pitchers and the error for infielders. The W-L has definitely been devalued over the years. Pitchers don’t pitch complete games anymore, so it’s a nonsense statistic. ERA and WHIP (walks and hits divided by innings pitched) are far better measures. He also points put that fielding percentage is a nonsense statistic because it doesn’t take into account a fielder’s range or his arm. His most outlandish theory is “bullpenning.” He cites statistics that prove most runs are scored in the first inning and/or about the time a starting pitcher starts to fatigue. Why not have a few designated starters who pitch two innings, a few long-reliever/starter types and a bunch of firemen ... pitchers like Sparky Lyle, Goose Gossage and Rollie Fingers, guys you bring in whenever you’re in a jam. Why save the best (today’s closer) for last when the team could have used him best in, say, the fifth-inning when the other team had the bases jammed. I actually put that theory to the test using the “MLB Manager” app -- which I highly recommend -- and son-of-gun if it didn’t take the 1985 Cubs to the World Series with no ERA over 2.99. Will a change come? Sadly, not in our lifetime, but think of the children ... don’t they deserve to see their team win a Series one day? Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

SAUNDERS INSURANCE AGENCY
Seniors as Roommate There are things to be said for taking on a roommate when we’re single seniors. Topping the list of positives is that expenses can be shared, which means you could end up in a home and neighborhood that is nicer than one you can afford on your own -- or that you can keep your own home and not need to downsize. Duties around the house can be shared. There’s someone there when you come home, and someone to go with you to events. Socially, you might even double the size of your network. Your roommate will be there to walk and feed your dog if you go away. If you fall or are ill, someone else is nearby to get help. The way to start thinking about this is to ask yourself if you have room for someone else, or if you’d need to move in with a roommate. At the very least, you’ll need a bedroom and private bath for each person. Your next step will be to seek out others who are in a shared accommodation situation and ask a lot of questions. You might discover that you’re a good candidate for a successful sharing: Are you flexible and social, and don’t have a strong need for lots of privacy? Do you like being around other people much of the time? Are you able to set clear expectations? Go online to search for information on seniors sharing housing. Do a lot of reading, check local resources for more information and decide if shared accommodation is something you want to consider. Here’s another biggie: It’s thought that those who live with others live longer and are generally healthier and happier. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

IVF for Wounded Vets For 24 years there has been a ban on the Department of Veterans Affairs paying for fertility treatments for veterans who have suffered reproductive injuries and catastrophic wounds in combat, typically caused by IEDs. Now that ban has been reversed ... temporarily. Until now, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) was banned, likely by conservatives who objected to the fact that sometimes an embryo is lost in the process of implanting it in the mother. In fact, the odds are against success in many IVF attempts. In 2012, the Department of Defense decided to support IFV, but only for active duty and only for a short time after discharge. But veterans whose injuries are severe aren’t immediately in the frame of mind to start families. Often they’re just wondering how they’re going to survive, or learn to brush their teeth, or sit up in a wheelchair. It’s only later, when they’re stable, that thoughts of a family enter the picture. Many veterans and spouses have tried IVF at their own considerable expense, which can exceed $12,000 per attempt, taking their savings and money from relatives and friends to try to do just one normal thing: have a child. Sometimes the male veteran’s injuries are so severe that they also suffer from low sperm count, which complicates the problem. Now, although the VA will pay for IVF and other reproductive treatments for injured veterans, there’s a time limit: two years, with the money coming from the overall VA budget. At that point the VA will review and consider whether to continue and who’s going to pay for it. A salute to Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) for her long, hard struggle in pushing this bill. In the end, it got tucked into a bill before Congress to keep the government running until December. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
