THE CASTOR BEAN PROJECT
HE fate of the castor bean project in the Lower
1 Rio Grande Valley rests entirely with the 300
growers who are cooperating in producing the first
commercial crop and also with the concern the
Woburn Industries which has announced that it
will buy all the beans produced by the growers.
Perhaps not as many acres nor as many growers
have been interested in the crop as the promoters
would have wished. But an excellent start has been
made with an estimated 8000 acres in production.
The first crop of beans is now being harvested
under the plan launched more than a year and a
half ago by M. P. L. Van Over executive director of
the Woburn Industries Farm Bureau of New Jersev
with Colonel W. E. Talbot general manager of the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce cooperating.
The crux of the whole matter is now being reach-
ed. The promoters of the crop who supplied the
seed without coSt assured the growers of a market.
No price was guaranteed but those who offered to
cooperate were assured of a market for their pro-
duction at the market price. The market price was
given as a minimum of $18 a ton for “clean” beans.
It was believed at the time that prices ranging up to
$58 a ton for “clean” beans might be realized.
The first beans have now been offered for the
market. They were brought to Brownsville by W. C.
Kerr a farmer of the Arroyo Gardens district some
twenty miles due north of Brownsville. Mr. Kerr
had harvested about 15.750 pounds of unshelled
beans. After shelling the net weight was expected
to be about two-thirds of the total or about 10.000
pounds the equivalent of ten tons. The market
price to be paid to Mr. Kerr was expected to be
about $53 a ton. Mr. Kerr has a total of 100 acres of
castor plans. He expects to continue harvesting
beans around the year and for two or three years
on me same crop.
Mr. Kerr and the other cooperating growers are
in the farming business for the purpose of making
money. If castor beans yield them a profit over a
period of time they will produce castor beans. If the
market will consume the beans at a price that will
bring the growers a profit the more the grower^
who will enter the plan. If the plans of the ori-
ginators of the project mature there is hardly enough*
acreage available to meet the needs that can be de-
veloped. under the new farm industrial program for
which the term "chemurgy” has been developed.
Figures up to 200.000 acres have been used. With
only 8000 acres devoted to the project at this time
the wide scope of the program can be envisioned.
Attention should be called to the fact that Mr.
Van Over repeatedly has emphasized that at least
in the early stages of the program only land not
used for other crops should be used in the growing
of the castor plant. There is no intent to displace
cotton or other farm products. He is proceeding on
the theory that castor plants will flourish and pro-
duce on land not suitable to profitable operation in
other directions.
This is a new industry. Both the growers and the
Woburn Industries are experimenting. Wohurn Indus-
tries has expended many thousands of dollars and
many years of research in the development of their
plans which have now reached a new stage in their
forward movement. Farmers who have joined in the
program have done so it is believed without financial
harm to themselves. They are helping in a plan to
bring a new source of revenue to agriculture.
Obstacles will doubtless be encountered. But if
the growers who are pioneering the product come
out whole’after a reasonable time there should be
no further hesitancy.

ECONOMY IN HOUSING
If automobiles were made to or-
der. as most houses still are. only
the wealthy could own even sec-
ond-hand cars But the scientific
progress and mass production that
have marked the automotive and
manv other industries have touch-
ed housing only slightly. While
some Individual companies have
engaged in research and produced
new building materials that are
both satislactory and economical
the industry as a whole has been
laggard The job of building a
house is a In ost as difficult as it
was a century ago—and is even
more expensive.
Prefabricated housing which Is

fers considerable help both in
making residential construction
more convenient and in lowering
its cast. But It is handicapped bv !
the country's 1.800 local building
codes which stand in the way of
using new materials and of zon-
ing that sometimes has been used
to bar the construction of pre-
fabricated houses. Many contrac-
tors and producers of certain build-
ing materials—particularly brick-
have also been adamant against
prefabrication.
Several types of Tactorv fabricat-
ed houses are now available how-
ever; am' these are proving in-
creasingly popular. They use more
steel plywood *nd plastics than the
average house; they ran use metals

general they represent technolo-
gical progress and improved de-
sign as well as economy. Within
another decade the shift to mass
production may be a big factor in
bringing modern housing to the

VTT.*SHINGTON—The mystifying
political gyrations of Uncle
John L**wis may be made under-
standable by a run-in interview
he recently had irtth a delegation
from the united auto workers..
They met the most expans've
bristling eyebrows in the world
from across his de^k as soon as
they entered. "Why did you guys
run out on me?” Lewis asked—a
question wnich he subsequently
| also must have put to the right
wing of the New York state CIO
convention at Rochester. The U.
A. W j answered they were for
Roosevelt for a third term.
| "Yes. but—." shrieked the shrewd
CIO bet s "don't you think I know
anything about bargaining? W'e
could have driven a hard bargain
with both sides but you guys ran
out on me and now we may not
*et anything.”
Lewis is accustomed like most
politicians to getting something for
his support. He got the labor
board law itself from nearly a half
million in advances to the Demo-
cratic national commute for the
second term. Well does he know it
is not the custom of the White
House or *nv wise political mas-
i ter. to pay for something he al-
I ready has.
IT JUST looks like no one will
plav goat for Mr Roosevelt *n
his dilemma over the Madden
vacancy on the labor board. An
excellent blllie was chosen board-
man Edwin Smith. But. as labor
j boardmen will he balked.
If Smith would resign <hls term
ha« a year to runi Mr. Roosevelt
could reaopoint the expired-Chair-
man Madden and then soften that
bad news for the AFL with an
AFL man in Sm'th’s shoes. Smith
rates with the AFL about as high
r.s Hitler His elimination would
be all the AFL would ask for
dropping its attacks on the labor
board and Heine nic* and demo-
cratic for the third term.
Apparently Smith could not see
the broader aspects of the situa-
tion. He t*k*s his advice generally
from John Lewis and Lee Press-
man of CIO who croasider him a
superior boardman. far superior to
anyone the AFL could name.
Mr Roosevelt will no doubt find
another wav of pacifying *h* AFL
—unless the feinting Mr. Lewi.'
outboxes him.

Q—What is the origin of the yo-
del? J. V. P. E
A—The word yodel is the Eng-
lish foim of jodeln Grove's Dic-
tionary speaks as follows: A char-
acteristic feature of the original
form of Landler as sung in Austrian
and Bavarian Tyrol is the Jodel.
Thu term is applied to the abrupt
bun not innarmonious changes
from the chest voice to the falsetto
which are a well-known feature in
the performance of Tyrolese sing-
ers. The practice is not easy to ac-
quire unless the voice has been ac-
customed to it from early youth; it
also requires a powerful organ and
considerable compass. This form
of song is so ancient that it is
probably correct to say its origin
cannot be traced. There is a rec-
ord of Roman missionaries having
protested against the popularity of
the yodel in that part of the world
which today we call Switzerland.
Q—Please give the latest popu-
lation figure for Washington D. C.
I- T. M.
A—Population of the Washington
metropolitan area has increased to
approximately 950.000. compared
With only 621059 in the 1930 Fed-
eral census.
Q—Who said ‘The public be
damned?” H. S.
A—William H Vanderbilt when
president of the New York Central
said "The public be damned " Mel-
ville E Stone in 'Fifty Years a
Journalist” points out that Mr
Vanderbilt used the words to a re-
porter who had forced hu way Into
Mr. Vanderbilt's private car.
Q—Which of Thomas Hardy'* nov-
el* is autobiographical? If. E. P.
A—Dr. William Lyon Phelps savs
that * A Laodicean.” published in
1661. contains more of the fact* ot

The United tates of America Is
something new^n the world. I wish
that more of my fellow citizens
could feel this in their bones. It
cannot be compared to anv other
country post or present; it oper-
ates under a different set of rules
What happens or has happened to
them cannot happen in the same
wav to us If we go to smash It
will be in a man-
ner all our own.
If we move for-
ward to greater
stability and
strength as I
think we shall it
will not be on the
patttern of Rome
Greece Germany.
Russia or the
British Empire.
Because I deep-
ly believe this I
am not greatly a-
larmed about a
military conquest
of this country or
about its succumbing to brigades of
Fifth Columnists preaching Fas-
cism. Nazism. Communism in for-
eign accents. I am alraid in a dil-
ferent wav. and with a longer time
lag. Tr.ere is one possible condi-
tion. ns I see it. which can reduce
this country to impotence and that
is distrust of their government by
the young people of America. An-
other decade of joblessness and
hopelessness will bring them to this
state. If we cannot give them work
and faith by 1950. perhaps we d bet-
ter go down the drainpipe.
The United tates. unlike any oth-
er great power except Russia is an
integrated continental empire pos-
sessing all the raw materials it
needs to support its people within
its own boundaries or within easy
access in other parts of North Am-
erica. Unlike Russian resources
ours have been fully developed Our
Industrial plant Is now producing
roughly half the output of the
whole world. With 6 per cent of
the world's people we produce 50
per cent of its wealth Germany.
Italy. France. Britain. Russia. Ja-
pan rolled into one do not approach
our Industrial potential—whether it
be measured in horsepower coa! oil.
iron ore metals transportation
equipment or output per man hour.
We have what it takes to over-
whelm them all.
In addition to its wealth this
country has institutions more demo-
cratic than any other country has
ever had. I am talking of some-
thing more fundamental than our
Constitution and political forms.
We are without the traditions of
cla.vs privilege which poison not
only Europe and Asia but Latin
America as well Only Canada and
Australasia share this asset with us.
We are all descendants of poor im-
migrants. bom on the wrong side of
the tracks. The only aristocracy we
possess is that of money. But when
a plutocrat thinks he has founded a
dynasty the family fortune is quite
likely to explode under him. The
Sixty Families come and pouf!
they are gone.
We have little pride of race for
we are a crucible of all races. We
have little pride of noble blood for
nobles didn't come over in the steer-
age. We have little sense of class
for poor boys are always working
their way through college to elbow-
stuffed shirts out of the profession*
We are probably Incapable of a
proletarian revolution for outside
of ft few clerks with horn-rimmed
rpectacles In the Communist P*rty
no American will admit he la • pro-
letarian. We have no State Church
to frighten us into subjection with
ghost stories. We refuse to accept
the notion that anyone is better
than we are. When somebody seta
up to be. it is the ptactlce and duty
of all good Americans to pull the
chair out from under him. We are
not split as is unhappy Europe into
26 snverign nations each with a dif-
ferent language currency and tra-
dition.
You can search the pages of his-
tory and you will find nothing like
the United States of America re-
corded there. It Is unique and alone.
Many of its habits and practices
arestupid. inefficient and deplorable.
Its financial system at the moment
is in a mess. But its 132 million
cttlaens who never learned to touch
their hats to their betters operating
the most massive industrial plant of
all time over the broad face of an
integrated self-sufficing continent
have a rendezvous with destiny. It
will take more thun the contempo-
rary uproar as to who is to be the
uneasy master of a torn and riven
Europe to upset that destiny.
