CASTOR BEAN FARMS
 IN SOUTH MANCHURIA

The castor bean plant is cultivated by the Chinese farmer in a very small way in South Manchuria. The beans are generally grown as q border around fields planted to other crops; being poisonous to cattle, they help to keep live stock out of the fields and also serve as danger signals to cattle herders.
 The beans are harvested in the au- tumn and are shipped off to market. One fthe local bean mills is crushing them and making refined castor oil as a side industry. It experiences diff ficulty in getting much stock, as these beans are now quite scarce, none haV- ing appeared on the local produce ex- changed for the past three months. 1 understand most of these beans come from the interior, farther north. The standrad produce exchange contains 140 kin GS62- pounds). and a car load contains 260 bags of D tons. The oil refined here is refined by the use of fuller's earth and certain chemicals the usual process, though, called secret" here.
 No information of value is obtain able regarding methods of cultivation fertilizers, costs, etc, as this crop is 1 simply grown by the Chinese farmers with the ordinary means at their dis | posal. The cake from which the oil has been extracted is not suited fol anything but fertilizer, for which it i: uSed.-Commerce ReDortS

Distributing the War Burden

The doctrine of the state corporation commission that the burden of the should be distributed, though not entirely new, has been laid down by the commission with greater directness than had been done before. We have all agreed and everybody has agreed with us that should get rich out of the war; that we should all make sacrifices.
 Thereupon began passing the buck" from one another until reached the ultimate consumer and it stayed with him. And that not the worst of it. The made the scape-goat for the most shame less exacons. Prices put up. to ridiculous and at the same time tragic heights because of the Every desired to make himself whoe;" in order that his prewar profits might not suffer dimnution he advanced prices It would be difficult to divide the higher cost of materials and merchandise they pass from the producer to the among the middle men through whom they pass and may therefore agree that the consumer should at last pay higher price but that the middlemen should content them selves with smaller profits.
 When the cost of operating a concern is increased because of higher wages the operator should be allowed to pass all of the increased cost to the next and to the consumer. That would not be any distribution of the burden at all.
 In this power company asked permission to increase it's rates partly because the had increased the cost of operation. The commission allowed the company to transfer only part of the higher cost of operation.
 We may contrast this sensible regulation with the plan of the government in handling the railroad situa ton. When the government took the roads it promised to make leave the stockholders, 'watered stockholders and all whole. It took as a basis the
 profitable period in all railroad history guar anteed to the stockholders profits great as the average yearly profits in that period Then it pro- ceeded to increase the cost of operation by dreds of millions of dollars and increased rates by hundreds of millions Yet created deficit of $196 00OO0O which the taxpayers mostly the sumers will have to make up in addition to the amounts in which they mucted for the higher rates Thus the stockholders the railroads been called upon to sacrifice nothing. No part of the burden the upon them. A generous government has assumed it all and-passed it to the ultimate con- through the shipper and the merchants along the way.
 We wonder whether the stockholders of the rail- roads want them back long the government can be induced maintain this pleasing arrangement

BRiTAiN'S FLEET

The difference between Great Britains control of the and Germany's army on land is that body had any to be afraid of the former. The British fleet is for defensive purposes only. Great Britain is island and would have small chance of defense by army if an enemy invaded her. She must have great fleet as her only protection She has one, but never has she used it. Germany would have used it, to srangle the trade of other nations. The free to trade if Great Britan's navy were the size of Eenezuea's.

A CENTURP OF COAL

James Tilghman of Philadelphia dis covered anthracite in the Wyoming valley in 1766.
 He sent a little chunk of it to Thomas and William Penn in London with this accurate prophetic message:
 This bed of coal, situated as it is, on the side of the river, may some day or other be thing of great value.'
 Thomas Penn, in giving thanks for the specimen, promised to have it ''ex- amined by some person skilled in that article and to transmit the report.
 In 1900 an enterprising pioneer named William Morris brought a wagonIoad of Tamaqua coal nearly 10d miles to Philadelphia and couldn't find 8 purchaser.
 Three years later two lark" loads oi Lehigh anthracite - 200 tons - were brought to this city via the Lehigh and Delaware rivers.
