Rice was first introduced into Virginia by
Sir william Berkeley in l64T, who received
halt bushel of seed, from which he raised
sixteen bushels Of excellent rice, most or all
of which was sown the following year. 1t Is

staple of the country. Its culture was intro
dsSced into Louisiana in Ills, by the Com
psny of the West" The present culture Of
rice in the United States Is chiefly confined to
South Carolina and North Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama. Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas. The yield per acre varies from twenty
to sixty bushels OF upland rice, weighing from
forty-tive to iorty-eight pounds when cleaned.
Under favorable circumstances as many as
ninety bushels to an acre have been raised.
A Judge Dougherty, who resides nearlthe
borders of Henderson County. Texas, ishas
raised crop of several hundred bushels of up
land rice. The crop averages thirty bushels
to the acre. He thinks rice can be raised there
as easily as Indian corn, and will be lar more
profitable.
Another variety Is cultivated in the United
States to limited extent. called Cochin' Chlna'

and sent into the country. This is one OF the
worst movements. Removed from ordinary d.

The editor of the Gaceta. Cuban paper, has
,been shown some sprigs Of rice near MAlanzas,
+ the smallest Of which contains at least three
hundred grains, perfectly opened, and OF q
larger size than is usually produced In the
island. He observes that this phenomenon Is
not limited to certain number OF sprigs, but
that the whole crop is similar. This excess of
production is, however, 10 be attributed 10 the
extraordinary abundance OF rain during por-
tion of the year. "Here we have specimen"
says the editor, "of the enormous production
that could be raised in our fields OF this ex-
6(llent and nutritious grain, If 1t were culli-
waited In places contiguous to the rivers, where
it could be flowed during drought"
ITS PRODUCTION IN OTHER CLIMEs.
Passing eastward. rice begins to be found in
Egypt, becomes more general In Northern ln-
dia, and holds uudisputed rule in the Peninsula
of India, in China, Japan, and the East lndia
islands.
Rice is now the staple grain produced in the
Mauritius. and 1t produces about twenty-siX
thousand dhundred-weights there annually. 1t
there forms, together with Indian corn and
manioc, the principle article Of food among
the coolies, negroes and mixed colored popu-
lation.

so far improved as nearly to equal that of the
