great war seems to be turning from
the ridiculous to the sublime, but the
raising OF castor-oil beans to save CIV
iliZation reminds one of the nursery
rhyme that the King was lost, all for
the want Of horseshoe nail. We
must have castor oil, so the experts
say, before we can hope to conuuer
Germany through the air. This is the
patriotic side Of why the farmers OF
the South must grow castor beans.
Let us look at the business side of
it. The government has contracted
for the planting of 100000 acres in
the South in castor beans. The gov
ernmeEt has guaranteed a price to the
grower through the contractors of IS
for every bushel of castor beans raised
on this contracted acreage. The
castor-bean plant is said to be about
as near a weed as any plant, and it
grows as easily, requiring little ex-
pense for seed, fertilizer and cultiva-
ton. The beans for planting are fur
nished to the growers through the
contractors, which are required to
sell them at cost, probably s4 or IS
a bushel. One bushel will seed from
Is to 20 acres. The cost of raising
the beans runs from SIS to $50 an
acre. In return. the government Of
fers and guarantees price of SO a

Owners of young orange groves and
other fruit trees in the South are
urged to raise castor beans between
the rows, as the castor plant will pro-
tect the young trees III the winter and
afford a partial shade in the summer
without interfering with the growth

Il particularly appeal to the
farmers of the South to plant a.

The great temptation of the pre-
