In
the
present
issue
there
is
repro-
duced
from the
Barbados,
B.
W.
1. Agri-
cultural
Reporter,
certain
interesting
notes relative
to the creation
of an
indus-
try
in
cncoanut
and
castor
oil
in
the
Windward
Island
of St.
Lucia.
At out
wiis end
as
we are
in
St. Croix to
build
) trade
or
commerce
of
some
sort
to
h:lp
advance
the
island
commercially
this
matter
should gain
attention
here,
Castor plants could
very well be
planted
on
much
land
here
not
employed
or
available for cane growing, andlthe
seed
85ld
in St.
Lucia
as apparently
they
in-
tend
to
establish
a
large
market.
It
would
appear
that
here is
a field for the
e terprise
of putting
up
such
a
plant
hre
as
in St,
Lucia.
This
would
in our
opinion
help
the
island
more than
civil
or non-civil government.
With increased
progperity
we open
the door for ushering
in all
the progiess
and
benefits that
we
would
be entitled to
and could
fully ap-
preciate
as the fruits of
our own labors.
{t is
quite
sure
that
the
Agricultural
Experiment
Station
could farnish
advice
to
those
interested.
The
short
time
needed
for the
production
of the castor
seed
is a great inducement
to the
under-
taking.

NOTICE.
;
There
will shomtly
be
installed
in Cas-
tries,
a
modern
plant for extracting
oil
from Casta
Seeds
and Copra.
The Proprietors
will be prepared
to pay
three
cents
per
lb.
for
husked
Castor
seed,
delivered
at
the
mills
and
for
Copra
delivered
on the wharf,
Castries,
one pound
(1£)
per
ton above
the Fighest
and
lowest price net,
obtainable
in Lon-
don,
according
to the
oil content
shown
when tested;
this
test
being the
method
adopted
in determining
the market
value
of Copra
in England.
All bags
may
be reclaimed.
Although the
machinery
is not yet laid
down,
it is desirable
to inform
those
in-
terested
in plantiog castor
seed
in good
time,
as it
takes four
months
to
bring
castor
01l
seed
into bearing,
from
che
date
of planting,
and
now
is
the
best
time
of the year
for clearing
and
burn-
ing.
The
Agricultural
Superintendent
re-
cently
had an offer from America
of one
cent
per
lb, for castor
seed.
The
price
oifered above
is three
times
this amount.
This
local
industry
will be of
special
benefit
to
peasant
proprieiors
and
to
planters
who
want
a cateh
crop
to young
cocoanuts.
Cas.or seed
is
usually planted
6 ft.
by
6 ft. giving 1,210
trees
to the
acre,
and
allowing for young
eocoanuts
planted
at
30
ft.
distacce,
about
1,164
trees
per
acre.
The
machinery
will
be
of
the
latest
type, manufactured
by one of the largest
makers
of oil
mill
machinery
in
the
world, and will be in operation
about
Ju-
Iy next.
Any further
information
may
be
ob-
tained frcm the under
