Boards HELP
THE GAS MASKS
(By Associated Press)

Amsterdam, April 27.-To be clean
shaven or bearded like the pard is the
alternative presented to the German
fire line troops. The reason is to be
sought in the gas mask. Some au-
thorities hold that the mask cannot
be relied upon to protect any but clean
shaven faces; others again hold that a
dense hirsute growth within the mask
acts as an additional air filter. But
1t must be a real patriarchal beard
no mere seven or fourteen days bris-
ties, says an article in the Deutsche
Tageszeitung.
The writer holds that the full beard
is peculiarly Teutonic attribute and
shluld be cultivated as such. Besides
according to ancient tradition, it adds
to 'frightful aspect he naively adds.
Gas tests at the front in air-tight
cubicles are carried out every fort
night, and full bearded men testify to
the additional security afforded by
their boards.

CASTOR BEAN PLANTING?
Farm Bureau Has Advised Against Growing of Castor
Beans in V alley But Brawley Farmers Already
Have Organized and Will Raise Them.

be more successful than in Imperial
Valley. More than 100 bushels to the
acre can easily be raised.
The following interview with Lon
c. Hill of Texas, who knows all about
castor bean culture, will be illumi-
mating:
The castor bean is a plant no in
sect or parasite or animal eats or
depredates on and for that reason it
is planted without regard to protection
from stock, that is, it is planted in
pactures and practically not worked
as they would corn or other field crops,
and the yield per acre would necessar-
ily be smaller. Now in Kansas and
Oklahoma, the yield under these con-
ditions was from IS to % bushels per
acre. Taking into consideration the
climatic conditions and If worked. as
a crop, l think the yield very fine.
THE writer and his sons have been
growing castor beans, not in live,
commercial way, in the Rio Grande
valley, South Texas, for a number OF
years. We have never grown the cas-
tor bean strictly as field crop as
you would corn or cotton, but always
planted them in our Bermuda and
Rhodes grass pastures. They were
planted in rows ten feet square. They
were never cultivated and we ran just
as many cattle and sheep and hogs
per acre as we did if there We're no
castor beans planted We harvested
about 27O0 pounds per acre, which we
were glad to sell at from IS to 80
cents per bushel.
"Since the castor bean is a tropical
plant. have always been Of the opln-
ion that that part of the United States
west of Yuma. Arizona to the Pacific
ocean is an ideal country for the
growing of castor beans-much bet
ter than Florida, for the reason that
YOU have richer lands. better climate
and irrigation, and they would grow
and bear the year round, In the Rio
Grande valley and in some parts OF
Florida they quit growing in October.
am of the opinion that in the Pacific
Coast country under conditions herein
stated that Is to 80 bushels per acre
would be a very conservative esti-
mate"
Imperial Valley press., 1918-04-27

Is it advisable to plant castor
beans in Imperial Valley?
To plant large acreage here would

ment 1t would be patriotic, but
would We do better to raise meat,
grain and cotton for the Allies?
These are kuestionS which will un-
Goubtedly be decided at series of
meetings to be held here next week.
Wayne Compton, former secretary
f the Chamber of Commerce, yester-
lay received the following telegram:
Government wants more castor
bean acreage. Johnson, represent
.ng the Castor Bean Association, will
be in El Centro Monday, Holtville

stating that the beans shatter, blow
