FOR CASTOR BEAN
GROWERS


Washington, Oca. 9.--ln a decis-
ion just rendered, the board Of con.
tract adjustment Of the war depart
ment has taken jurisdiction over the
claims of growers in Florida who In
good faith, attempted to raise castor
beans for the manufacture of castor
oil TO lubricate airplane engines dur
ing the war.
The decision was made in the test
case of Helms & Walker Of Miami but
the same principle applied to all cas-
tor bean contractors. and il is under
stood that similar opinions will be
handed down On all other cases with

This information will be particular

Floridians WIND planted a large acre
age and who In consequence suffered
losses equal tu those OF the growers
Of ali other states combined.
The principal cause OF the failure,
as determined by the investigation
was the unacolimated inferior seed
imported by the government and fur
nished for planting purposes. Castor
beans had not 8been grown for COM
mercial purposes in the United
States for abeat q generation, and
no domestic seed was available for
planting the large acreage desired
by the war department. 1t became ne
cessary therefore to import a cargo
OF seed from india to meet the EN-.
Urgency, but The latent defects OF
this seed were not discovered until
too late to avuid the serious loss to

out and dries himself quickly with the

degree OF exhilaration that stronger

There is one important rule to be

As for sea bathing, the same rules
apply. So long as you really enjoy

This is 10 time to gamble on cot
