It has been found that practically
all of the organic nitrogen of the vel-
vet bean is retained in the soil, but
only one-half or less of the nitrogen
of the cowpea could be recovered.
From results obtained it appeared
that one-fifth of the total nitrate ni-
trogen of cowpeas is converted into
soluble ammonia salts in three weeks’
time. Down with the cowpeas, and
on with the bean. J. O. B. Young.
From observations made in 1916, I
determined that it is a soil condition
by which the cotton production is cur-
tailed in a wet season. It is a soil
factor that is developed, not the boll
weevil and rainfall, that causes a de-
creased production, and this can be
overcome by the growing of sorghum
crops on these soils.
In a wet season there will not then
be a good corn yield, and a decreased '
cotton yield; sometimes a failure. Cot-
i ton growing will be stabilized by
which there will be an assured yield of
both crops.

February 4 and continue for five days.

' affidavit must be completely filled out

i to +u- - ~eUStration officer and ,
signed and sworn to by the registrant

in view of the dire necessity by the
government for castor oil, the great-
est lubricant known to science, the
Tarniers of Texas have been called to
do their bit by growing castor beans
To provide the oil for the army air-
planes.
Castor beans can be grown by the
farmers with comparative ease and
they are as profitable to the farmer
as they are necessary to the govern-
ment. At a normal crop the farmer
with only medium ground can clear
$100 per acre. The government is
now arranging with the farmers for
the planting of castor beans for the
1918 crop and a circular of advance
information has been distributed
among them by E. L. Long of Alvin.
“Any land that will grow good corn
will produce good castor beans,” the
circular states, “The ground is pre-

Beans, as soon as delivered, and in
zorder to assist the farmer I will re-
ceive your beans at your nearest rail-
road station. It is a safe crop to
grow as it will stand a great deal of I
wet weather and not affect the bean. I
The bean will yield from 30 to 40 [
bushels per acre. Do not fertilize,
you will grow too much stalk. The
government will require large quan-
tities of this oil for its own use and
vlso to help supply our allies.”
Mr. Long asks that all farmers in-
terested in growing castor beans
vrite to him and arrange for seed.
