THE LOUISIANA RICE CROP.
The consumption of rice throughout the
Southwest has been much larger during
the past few years han in former times,
and is constantly Increasing. 1t is now
an article of much commercial Importance
with every grocer, both wholesale and re-
tail, and it is to be found on the table of
almost every family throughout the coun-
try. We clip the following from the New
Orleans Picayane, in relation to the pros
poets Of the growing crop in Southern
Louisiana:
In the parishes of st. Charles and
Plaquemines the appearances of the rice
crop are decidedly unpromising. The
fields are OVergrown with grass, Ook
badly, and are very backward. Probably
on account of the cold weather and de-
fective- seed, the rice put into the ground
early in March had to be sown again, and
the stands do not present a very favora-
BILE aspect. In LafOurche parish the far
mers expect to realize good returns, if no
casualty befalls them before harvest.
The reports from st. James and st. john
the-Baptist are anything but ~encOursg-
ing. Should the river recede earlyin June,
the crop will prove a failure. At any
rate, harvesting will commence late in
the month of August, and the receipts
Will not amount to much until middle
Of next September. In the meantime,
the eaters of gumbo will have to pay
rather eX1rayagant prices, for the stock of
last years crop will be exhausted by the
end of next month.
