The cost of equipment and special

growers of castor beans to under
take the extraction of Oil unless the

The castor-oil plant has beautiful
leaves, but our animals are careful
to avoid them. 1t is said that they
are fed to the cattle in India. But
the beans do contain poisonous

handled they may cause serious if

castor beans from getting mixed

rapid rise in price. Then the price
declined until recently, when it has
scared again. The normal amount
used in the United States is about
1000, 900 bushels annually. In 1926
more than 1000 900 bushels were i'm
ported. valued at about $l.80 per
bushel.
The castor bean must have warm
climate and long growing season
# 1t is to prosper. If planted far
ther north than st. Louis, Mo, or
the District of Columbia the crop
is likely to be caught by frost.
Where the soil is fertile and frosts
are late a good crop may be ex-
pected.
The crop is cultivated like corn
until the plants are large enough
to shade the ground. Weeds and
grass must be removed from the
field. Generally three seeds are
planted to the hill, and l bushel of
medium sized seed should plant 6
acres.
When the plan, is ready for har-
vesting the common method is to
cut off the spikes with sharp
knife and collect them in large
sacks. They are hauled to build
until the pods crush easily. There
ing where the beans are dried
are several methods followed for
threshing the castor bean. After
they have been threshed or popped
out a tanning mill is used to sepa-
rate the hulls, chaff and dirt from
the beans before they are sacked
and stored for the market.
The equipment and operation of a
castor-oil mill is much like the one
used for the extraction of oil from
cottonseed or linseed. But special

As you know, the War Production
Board is urging homeowners to
stock up on coal now, as one way to
help prepare for the fuel shortage
which threatens all of us this COM
ing fall and winter. To this sugges-
tion, we add another-that while
you are stocking up on coal, you take
steps to prevent the waste Of fuel
i. in your own interests and in the
interests of our war economy. One
effective way to do this--a way, in
fact, that the Government has
strongly recommended-is through
scientific home insulation. Johns

help you save up to 80 per cent on
fuel next winter. at the same time
that it helps make your home more
