THE RICE CROP.
A Satisfactory Yield of Early Rice IN
south Carolina.


Tho Charleston Ne,rs and Courier Of
Yesterday prints the following report Of
the rice crop in south Carolina: The
Growth Of Carolina rice now being har-
vested experienced a very unpropitous
season in March and April. and fully one
third Of the present crop was planted
unusually late. and has had To stand the
dangers generally attending late crop.
Planters have been unusually careful not
To cut the plant before maturity, and the
receipts are consequently backward ana
tn SUPPLIES so far received are very light.
The March and April rice IS now being
cut and the specimens received indicate
that the early portion Of the yield VIII be
the most satisfactory in the quauty Of the
grain that has been produced In TINS state
for wears. being hard in quality and
good in color. Much Of it will weigh a
10 46 pounds 10 the bushel. The later
planted rice is looking well, and with a
few weeks Of good harvest weather rather
a satisfactory result Of the year planting
Is expected. and although the acreage Is
less than that Of the previous season, the
Outturn will probably be quite as much
and Of a quality which should sell TO
great advantage in the market. The wa
ter in the streams has lately been rather
low to afford at all times the best chances
for cultivation. and on some of the rivers
the salts are quite troublesome, but so
far serious injury TO the plant has
been avoided by good management.
Perhaps the most striking piece of
good fortune which the planters
have had was the escape from the late
disastrous storm. If the wind had blown
from the southeast with the violence that
characterized it a short way off shore from
Charleston the ocean would have been
brought in on the plantations with ylo-
lence and with a destructive power which
would have carried great damage or per-
haps entire ruin to many crops and plan
tations and would have been an irreparable
loss to many after the results Of bad
seasons in the past few years. BY this
good luck the planters have escaped a
loss equal To half a million dollars. Now
it is hoped that an average crop VIII be
obtained and Of an unusually good
