The growing of castor oil beans for

cessful on a small scale In this State.
1t might be we'll for farmers to make
further inquiry and to satisfy himself
as to whether or not his soil is adapt
able to theg rowth Of castor oil beans.
The cultivation of such beans is being
pushed by Phillip II. Arrowsmith, local
food administrator for williamsburg
county, at Lake City. Those interested
would do we'll to communicate with
the food administration or Mr.. Arrow
smith. Mr.. Arrowsmith has this to say
with reference to castor beans
THE oil which Is made from this
bean has been found to be the only
lubricant that under all conditions
meets the needs Of the airplane service
and the beans are to be raised for the
government for this purpose. 1t is
thus seen that the farmers are now af-
forded one opportunity of doing some.
thing active to help win the war and
lick the kaiser. In addition to this.
however the terms Of the contract are
most attractive from the standpoint Of
profit
The contract provides that the gov
ernment will supply the seed by April
20 to be paid for when the crop is har-
vested and at cost not exceeding 81
per acre. but 1t Is estimated that the
actual cost will be approximately 60
cents per acre for the seed. Any land
that will grow corn or cotton will grow
castor beans. They are planted like
corn and require but little cultiva-
ton. The yield in this section is esti-
mated will be around 40 bushels per
acre. which by the terms Of the con.
tract. the government will take at
$3 per bushel Of 46 pounds. sacked and
delivered at the nearest railroad sta.
ton.
The beans ripen and may be har.
vested in about 100 days from plant
ing AS the spikes are pulled from
the bush they may be laid out on tho
barn floor where they will pop open
and thresh themselves. but if they
should not thresh themselves thcy may
be threshed by placing the burs in a
sheet and whipped open with brush.
Full instructions for preparing tho
