A Dying Miss ouri Industry.
[Chicago Times. !


An important and picturesque industry
is dying out in St Louis This is the
transportation of cordwood on barges,
which was formerly a very profit
able business. The decline is due
to the exhaustion of timber on
the river banks near the city, the in
PRODUCTION of Illinois coal, and the growth
of railroads. The most prosperous period
of the business was between 1910 and
1866, when seventy-five boats were en-
plOyed. The boats were originally i'm
PEELED by sails or oars, the current of the
river being utilized against an adverse
wind. In 1916 the towing system was in
troduced, but it did not become general
until 1860. The receipts of wood then
reached $50, 600 to 10000 cords, against
10, O0G at this time. Two tow boats and
seven large model barges serve this trade
now, and the steamers are not employed
for more than one-fourth of the summer
season.

Editor Lake Charles Echo.

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
The great want Of any new country
is the poor mans cash crop. North
and Northwest wheatisthat crop. Quick
returns, and often very small profits,
ten bushels an acre a good average,
and IS cents an average price, making
seven and one-half dollars per acre,
barely the cost Of cultivation, and yet
even that has made ii possible to set
tie an empire faster and quicker than
ever before done.
Now, what have we to otter as q
substitute for wheatl Rice ! Get low
land, if you have land that can be
flooded; upland, if your land is high
or rolling. The cost of preparing
same as for wheat, is. Leveeing, 81
per acre, and seed same; entting, stack
ing, threshing, all expense can be GOV.
cred by ten dollars per acre. The
average yield, eleven barrels; worth
$3.50 to 81 each. The upland takes
labor, as it must be sown in drills
2 l.2 to 8 feet apart, and worked
like corn, no levecs; 25 cents for seed
per acre, and about same yield as low
land; at times will yield mp to 20 bar
rels, at an expense not TO exceed ten
dollars Now for comparison.
Wheat yield per acre. ten bushels,
at seventy-five cents per bnshel, $3.50;
less expense of crop, 81. Rice, average
yield, IL barrels, l62 pounds each;
average price, $3.50 to $4, $40; less
expense Of crop, $40. Profit on
wheat per acre, so cents; on rice, $40;
with the fact also that rice is by far
the surer crop.
Great difference of opinion exists
upon the question: Is the upland rice
a distinct variety9 BY far the larger
number say it is all lowland rice, and
called upland because raised upon up
or highland for one or more seasons;
but few very intelligent gentlemen
say there are a number OF distinct va
rieties Of upland rice, Out of respect
to that opinion have planted some
three acres of white Carolina upland,
in drills three feet apart, sowed with
u "wheat and oats" drill, by stopping
a part of the holes Just so as to SOW
three feet apart; it does the work we'll
on well prepared land, ! have also, in
same field, two acres of white Hon
duras lowIand rice, sown in drills; on
upland, five acres OF same, sown broad
cast and flooded; it is now three, feet
high and doing finely; my upland is
Just up, 1t should be sown in March,
Or just as soon as out Of danger Of
'rost. All crops should be sown early
lere, as elsewhere, although our eli
nate does wonders for the ''lame and
azy,"
| asked good farmerwhen to plant
'orn. "Well," he said, II plant in
March, some plant in Fekuary, April
$ good, May tip top, June fair, and
InlY many do we'll" But my expert
NEE says here, as elsewhere, SOW or
liant early and cultivate we'll.
