CASTOR BEAN NOT
ATTRACTIVE CROP

The Marieopa farm bureau is in re-
cent OF an inquiry from a farmer of
I the Salt River valley regarding the
praeticability of growing castor oil
| beans as commercial crop. and is
advised as Follows:
The castor oil bean is a native OF
India or Africa. II is called also
"kieinns," Latin word which typifiee
the resemblance of the seeds to an
insect. The castor bean is a semi
tropical plant which reaches it's high
est development in the tropics where
it attaihs height of 80 to 40 feet
and IL a tree instead of an annual as
1t is in this country 1t is in the
tropics where the most castor oil is
produced, iue to the fact that the
plants or trees yield much more
heavily and also that labor Isl usually
cheaper a considerable amount of
oil has been produced in the middle
west particularly in Oklahoma. and
the quality of the American oil Is said
To be superior to that produced ir
india. Most of the seeds in the mid
die west are crushed and pressed at
mill in st Louis. There is also
mill in California, but the growing OF
castor oil beans has not increased,
put On me contrary has decreased ia
recent years
The reason is not difficult 10 dis
cover as from spring PAINTINGS. the
seeds begin to ripen in July and con-
unae until frost. The seed pods must
b" gathered IS they ripen. or rather as
soon as they turn brown. otherwise
they viii burst open and the seeds be-
come scattered This makes the cost
Of harvesting tedious and excessive.
There is no doubt that castor oil
beans can be crown here. and that
they will make good yields but with
the high price Of labor and the ex
p@nses Of shipping the seeds to mill
there would b. less profit considerably
'han IN growing crops which may be
more easily harvested and Tor when
there is a market"
