CASTOR BEANS
 TO BE RAISED
 IN CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO. Cal. Jan. 30.-In' quiries received from farmers in California regarding the cultivation of castor beans urgently needed fol the extraction of castor oil used as a lubricant in airplane engines. have caused George H. Hecke. state com missioner of horticulture, to conduct an investigation to ascertain the market value and to learn the cost of production.
 Thus far it has been established that an average yield of castor beans in California Is about twenty bush els to the acre. which, based on the announcement of the chief signal officer of the var department that
 he government will pay $3.5o for a forty-six pound bushel, f. O. b. at the nearest railway. insures gross return of $70 an acre. Growers contracting with the government fo. the sale of beans will be furnished seed at the cost, plus transporta- tion charges.
 Little information is available con corning the cost of growing and harvesting a crop of castor beans They ripen slowly and irregularly and are gathered by hand. Efforts to encourage the planting of approximately 5000 acres to cas- tor beans in southern California have been made by the war depart ment. according to information fur nished Commissioner Hecke by the state council of defense.
 Castor beans have been grown commercially in California. but the industry was abandoned because a drop in the price of castor oil made 1t improbable. Information received by Commissioner Hecke shows that considerable acreage was planted to castor beans in Orange county a number of years ago and that the production in the vicinity of Marys. vile. Yuba county. many years ago resulted in the establishment of a castor oil refinery there.

WOMEN STRONG IN RED CROSS
 ORGANIZATION

Out of two hundred and fifty-five executives in the fourteen division offices of the American Red Cross, one hundred and fifty, or fifty-nine per cent. are women, according to canvass just made. These figures apply only to those holding impor- tant executive positions in division offices and do not include chapter officials.
 It is further shown that about fifty six per cent of these executives are volunteers. serving without remuner- ation. The division form of orga- nization has been in effect only since the appointment of the Red Cross war council, and was found neces- sary because of the tremendous growth of activities and operation of the Red Cross brought about by the war
 The work of millions of Red Cross members is now directed by division offices which are intermediates be- tween national headquarters and the several thousand Red Cross Chap ters scattered throughout the United States and foreign countries. Prior to the establishment of geographical divisions, the operation of the Red Cross was centralized at national headquarters, and the only women in the headquarters organization were those in the nursing bureau and one who was member of the central committee.
 Since the appointment of the war council this number has been in- creased to twelve, and Miss Eliza beth Hoyt appointed assistant to the general manager. There is also a Woman's Advisory committee of elev. en members and a Woman's Advis- ory Committee on Naval auxiliaries to the war council consisting of fifteen members. Recently there have been established about twenty. five institutes for home service. which are training schools for Red Cross home service workers who will assist families of soldiers and sail ors. There are two executive posi- tions in each of these institutes. and the number of men and women is practically equal. These have not been included in the above figures "In the selection of officials to con duct the various activities" said liar vey D. Gibson. general manager "the policy has been to obtain the most efficient available person best qualified for that particular work These appointments have been made regardless of politics. sex or re ligion."

ORGANIZING FOR THIRD Lib
ERTY LOAN.

Hon. J. H. Culkins, superin-
tendent of education of Warren
county, and field representative
War Loan Organizations, was in
Brandon Monday looking after
the preliminary organization in
Rankin county for the third Lib
erty Loan, which will begin on
the 9th of April.
Ten billions of dollars will
have to be raised in this drive,
and of this stupenduous amount
Rankin county will probably be
apportioned 100000 divided as
follows; Brandon, $4,000; Pela-
hatchie, $50, 900; Florence $780,
900, and the county at large the
remainder.
This sum is necessary for the
successful prosecution OF
the war, and every community
will be expected to do its part.
Later on meetings will be held
in every neighborhood so that
the urgent need of concerted
action may be fully brought to
bear upon the people.
w. H. Barnes, active vice
president of the Rankin County
Bank, has been named as chair
man of the executive committee,
with Judge A. j. McLaurin, j..
A. Lindsey, A. G. Purvis, and
w. H. Rogers as committeeman.
Judge McLaurin and S. V. Burks
have been appointed publicity
committee.
Mr.. Culkin will visit Rankin
county again in the near future
and render whatever aid he can
in the permanent organization
for the drive. In the mean time,
let every man, woman and child
who can possibly do SO, getready
to do their part. All those who
cannot buy bonds. can at least
buy War Savings Stamps, which
answer the same purpose.

Just received shipment of
new MaCkrei.
R. R. BuSiCk.

On account of new rulings for
the organization of the A. R. G..
I have until now been unable to
supply demands for literature
for organizing. | have sent out
today, application blanks which
must be filled out and returned
to the Executive committee. I
will endeavor to make very plain
the relation of a Branch and of
an Auxiliary to the chapter, for
the benefit of all who are organ
izing.
A Branch is a subordinate part
of a chapter. It has its officers
and it's territory is assigned by
the chapter. It is a permanent
organization and carries on the
same work in it's community,
that the Chapter does in a larg-
err territory. It's form of organi-
zation is about the same as a
Chapter. A hundred members is
required to form a Branch.
An Auxiliary is also a part of
a Chapter, but is generally or
ganized for the purpose of doing
special kinds of work. A Branch
may also organize and direct an
auxiliary. An auxiliary may be
formed with ten members.
Please decide whether you will
organize Branch or Auxiliary.
Send for application blank to
Secretary of Rankin Co. Chapter,
fill out blank, return to Elk. COM
mittee to be signed. | trust that
all will thoroughly understand
these new regulations, and please
organize just as soon as you can.
Our boys are going from our
homes and need our very best
efforts every day. Let us enroll
every man, woman and child in
Rankin Co. Many who joined
last year have not renewed their
membership. Do this please at
once by sending in one dollar to
your Secretary.
Yours in the work,

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America. i
Warning Nations Have Depleted live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Evea
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward. ]
The United States food adminis4
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to-
cooperate with the government In in1
creasing the nations supply Of Live
stock.
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any otis
er European nation When the Ger
man armies made their big advances
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 1900, 600
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 2,4OO, 0O0
acres of pasture lands have been turns
ed into grain f1elds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One OF the
reasons apparently Is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October. SITES
November and December, $1608; Jan7
larry, $14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle an
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war;
Where France had 14,S07 900 head OF
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
341, 300, decrease Of 1875 per cent,
And France is today producing only
one gallon Of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been,
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed,
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ada
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely In the produc1
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro7
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased
