THE RICE INDUSTRY.
ITS HISTORY IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Three Distinct Periods of Production
introduced in Virginia in the Seven
teenth Century-Domestic Production
and Foreign Expectation. Importation
and Consumption from 1865 to 1881
The Outlook for the Present Crop.
representative Of the MORNING
News called upon number Of the repre-
sentative rice dealers, factors, merchants
and Superintendents Of rice mills yester-
dav. in order TO obtain some information
regarding this important cereal.
The outlook for the present crop IS GER
tainly promising, and the planters, as
well as the factors, are in good spirits as
10 the probable yield.
Below will be found some interesting
statistics relative to this very important
grain.
There are three distinctive periods IN
the history Of the rice industry IN the
United States. First, from its Introduction
into virginia and South Carolina, in the
seventeenth century down to 1861; second,
from 1861 10 1856. both inclusive: third,
from 1866 to July. 1881.
Anterior to 1920 there are no data to be
found as TO the amount Of the production
az this Grain. but the exports from south
Carolina from 1920 to l129 inclusive. were
~. rs barrels Of 32j pounds each. or 80
0j6 100 pounds. This would be equivalent
to an average annual export, for the period
embracing nine years. Of 9, 80, ~ pounds.
McCullough's Dictionary Of commerce
and Navigation, states the production OF
rice in America in 1924 at $1,000 tierces.
or 10. 800 900 pounds. an amount so near
the average annual expectation OF the nine
years Just mentioned. which includes li24,
that it is probable that production IS, In
this instance, COMPOUNDED with eXporta-
ton.
In the year 1928 and 1920 the exports Of
rice from Charleston was %, 3o4 barrels oil
400 pounds each. or Is, 800 pounds, ana
in the period from November LIST, 1910, to
October 10th. 1771, 10000 barrels or o.
100000 pounds.
From LIST November, 11I2, to August ,,
I-73. there were exported from Charleston
1868 barrels. and from all south Caro-
lima ports. of the crop 1913, l2j.OI6 bar
rels.
II appears that in 100 there were eX-
ported from the colonies 150.j29 barrels, or
SO. 900 pounds, showing that about ~
600 barrels. or 100000 pounds, were eX-
ported from other than South Carolina
ports. 1t is probable that the colony OF
GEORGIA then in vigorous condition, chlei-
" assisted the increase of production.
The following table shows the export Of
rice from the United States, beginning
with 1871 and continued by decades TO
1870 inclusive.

went down under the swift tide, and his
