RICE CULTURE.

MIR. Trenholm Furnishes Interesting Facts
Concerning an Important Industry.
Special to the Indianapolis JournaI.
WASHINGTON March lin his speech before
the House committee on ways and means on
Monday last Civil-service Commissioner Tren-
holm, who is native of South Carolina gave
some very interesting information concerning
rice culture IN this country. He was reared in
the greatest of the American rice-producing
belts, and is as familiar with rice culture as the
Hoosier or Buckeye is with corn or wheat
raising Mr.. Trenholm is fluent talker and
has wonderful fund of information upon ali
Southern interests.
The rice fields of this country were much more
important as an industry in this country before
than since the war, although they are now again
coming to the fore. Before the war this country
had no competitor in rice growing. Now several
countries produce it in large quantities. Last
year the imports into this country amounted to
about lis. 100000 pounds, while the amount of
rice produced here aggregated something like
150, O00, 600 pounds, and it may, he said, reach
Ito, 0OO 900 pounds this year AS the fields and
the industry of rice grew the price became lower,
and it would be but few years, said Mr.. Tren-
holm. till the United States could not only pro-
duce sufficient to supply her own demand, but
that of foreign countries.
Rice is chiefly produced in the Carolinas
Georgia and Louisiana, although a few of the
other Southern STATES produce it. 1t costs about
ST. bushel tn grow and harvest rice, and of this
80 cents a bushel represents the cost of labor
1t costs 10 cents bushel to haul it to and from
the mill, whore the charge for threshing is 10
cents more for each bushel, making an aggregate
cost for production of ST. 20 a bushel. There are
about twenty-eght pounds of rice and rice meal
in bushel-twenty four pounds of whole rice
and four pounds of meal or middlings, gathered
in the milling process. The meal is used for
stock feed, and is worth % cents bushel; the
whole rice sells now at al cents pound, so the
profit to the producer is not large it will be SEEM
An acre of land will produce an average of
thirty bushels of whole rice. The land must be
heavy and rich. The sugar plantations of Lou
isana, which have become Improbable, are be-
ing converted into rice fields and, Mr.. Trenholm
says, if the tariff is maintained RICE it will
largely take the place of sugar as an industry in
the South.
Rice is harvested in September, and must be
gathered as quick as it is ripe, not a day before
and less than week afterward, otherwise it is
lost 1t is grown by an alternating flooding and
draining process. The ground is flooded to
drown the weeds and drained to kill the grass
1t is cultivated with the hoe or pillow. The mules
wear large leather boots to keep them from
sinking in the sward. Rice is now used mostly
as luxury, in buildings. etc, and is seldom
seen on the tables within hundred miles of the
points where it is grown. 1t is not great food
commodity, but is largely used in brewing. TAX
ing the place Of barley.
