II is good business for the farm

"The products Of multitude OF
small farmers can be made uniform
as to grading and packing by an or
ganization, and by no other means
whatsoever. 1t is a waste of time
and breath to even talk about it on
any other basis"
Sc says Secretary Houston Of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture.
The Secretary is right in his posi-
tive statement. There is no doub.
that this country is suffering today
more because of high prices than
from any other single cause. The
high cost of living is no longer a
joke! But these conditions have not
been brought about so much by an
actual shortage of food, as by a poor
marketing system, and the failure
of the marketing system has per.
nitted manipulations of prices, says
the State Marketing Bureau.
In the old days before the building
of railroads and great cities, the
farmer disposed of his surplus in
neighborhood towns or villages.
There were no large cities. Nearly
everybody had hand in growing
something-a little of everything
to eat, but not much of any one
thing to sell. Now at least two
thirds of our people. are non produc-
ers. Last year over 100000 cars Of
perlshable foods were shipped to
New York City, and a proportionate
number to hundreds Of other con-
sGming centers. And ships now car.
ry multiplied thousands of tons Of
foodstuffs to foreign countries.
Farming communities to be sue
cessful and prosperous, as a neigh
borhood proposition, must have
standard uniformity in the kind or
variety of their money crops, so as
to attract buyers and to be able to
snip In carlots, as tobacco at Quincy,
potatoes at Hastings celery and let
tuce at Sanford, and Strawberries
at Plant City and Lakeland. By do
ing this localities acquire reputa

INTERESTING MEETING is HELD
IN TAMPA
Growers Believe Castor Beans viii
Prove Successful and Profitable

Prove Successful and Profitable
(Tampa Morning Tribune, Jan. 16,)
That castor beans can be success
fully grown in Florida and that the
crop will prove highly profitable
one under the government contracts
now being made was the unanimous
conclusion of a mass meeting of
prominent farmers, fruit growers and
truckers held yesterday in the offices
of the Buckeye Nurseries.
Forty or fifty prominent citizens of
central and south Florida were in at
tendance, having been invited by the
Buckeye people to meet their corps Of
experts and sales force for discussion
of the many points of common inter-
est which have arisen in connection
with the contracts for castor bean
acreage.
Prominent among the speakers
were G. H. Martin of Pasco county
and c. H. Williams of Polk County,
both experienced castor bean grow
ers who have been engaged by Buck
eye Nurseries to advise with persons
who make contracts for producing
beans as to the most practicable
means of cultivating, fertilizing and
harvesting.
Both these gentlemen were extern
sive and successful growers of castor
beans at the time when this was one
of the big money crops of Kansas.
Each has lived in Florida for num-
Der of years and has been engaged in
farming here. Mr.. Williams and Mr..
Martin have gone very thoroughly in
to the question of castor bean culture
in this state and are agreed as to its
possibilities.
Government Encourages Industry
1t will be recalled by readers of
The Tribune that the United States
government has selected Florida as
one of the states in which castor
beans are to be extensively grown
this season to supply the castor oil
needed for the fabrication of the air
fleet now building. No other oil has
been found which will flow freely at
high attitudes. The airplanes of the
allies are absorbing the presen pro-
duction of castor oil
1t is necessary for the United
States to so stimulate the production
,of castor beans as to provide an am
pie supply of oil by the time the o.
600 airplanes now under construction
begin to be completed. This prdiuc-
ton must be in localities where elm
attic conditions are favorable and
where the acreage required will not

ida is looked to for a large proportion
of the supply.
The government provides the seed,
at cost, and allows growers to deduct
the amount from the proceeds of their
crops Of beans. 1t further agrees to
buy all the beans that may be pro-
duced at prices high enough to as
sure growers handsome profit OF
course, it would be impracticable for
these government contracts to be
made with individual growers for
small acreages so they are on a guam
tity basis with responsible concerns
which in turn sub-contract with farm.
ers, fruit growers and truckers.
Gillett Has Big Contract
The first and one of the largest
acreage contracts made in Florida
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1918-01-22
Gillett Has Big Contract

''NS @'9 WIN dSt
The first and one of the largest
acreage contracts made in Florida
was with D. c. Gillett of the Buckeye
Nurseries. The entire executive and
sales force of Mr.. Gillett's concern
has been engaged for several weeks
in securing sub-contracts. The re.
suits of the campaign so far have
been highly satisfying, but even
greater acreage is required by the
government authorities and, as a re.
suit of yesterdays meeting it is as.
sured that many additional contracts
will be made.
Buckeye Nurseries are not only
making the contracts on behalf of the
government which supply growers
castor bean seed and guarantee the
purchase of the crops at a liberal
price, but are arranging also to furn.
ish fertilizers to growers on a long
credit basis. In addition they are of.
fering the service of expert castor
bean growers who will render any as.
sistance in matters of cultivation and
harvesting that may be needed.
In yesterdays meeting all the prob.
lens that have been suggested as
likely to confront the growers if cas-.
tor beans were fully discussed, and
the conclusion reached that there are
no serious obstacles to the industry
in Florida. 1t was brought out that
the beans have been grown with sue.
cess for number of years in sever.
al parts of the state.
Rain Will Not Interfere
The fear of the rainy season inter.
fering with the harvesting of the
beans that has been expressed in some
quarters was shown to be without
foundation in fact. While it is true
that the beans must be dried after
they are clipped from the stalk and
