The Italian grown seed produces a fine oil, and as the cultivation of silkworms and mulberries shows, we can, in this climate, produce much that the Italians do, the production of saleable castor seed should be an inexpensive venture giving very little trouble to the grower.

There are several varieties of castor seed grown in India, the best kind is of a light ash colour, small and of a round shape-it produces the largest percentage of oil.

HAWKESBURY AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

In order that arrangements may be made for giving proper attention to visitors, it has been decided to set apart Thursday in each week as visiting day. It is hoped, therefore, that intending visitors will note that that day is the only one on which they will be able to be conducted over the establishment.
