The Rice s,rop.


The following is summary of reports
gathered by Messrs. Dan Talmage's Sons
relative TO the rice growth of the present
year. The promise of earlier periods is
borne out in all of the states except Lousi-
ana. In August the latter promised to dis
tance all previous records. but owing to un.
toward circumstances since and now pre-.
vailing IL will not exceed that OF last year,
and many predict falling away of from 25
to 80 per cent. The largest crops made were
those of 1886 ana 1886, which stood respec-
lively 4S5, 900 and 100000 barrels, cleaned
rice. The total crop is now placed at At.
lantc coast states, 100000 bbls. (325-lbs
each); Louisiana, 325,000 bbls. (250-lbs
each).
The product, position and prospects of the
crop in the respective states are as follows
North Carolina.-Acreage about the same
as last year Yield 10 per cent larger, but
not up to average of past decade, Quality
hne. Harvesting on tide-water crop fairly
under way; upland not ripe. Planters in
good financial condition and will not part
with crops at much if any below present
prices.
South Carolina Acreage slightly under
last year Yield larger, but below the aver.
age of the past decade Quality prime. Har
vesting of early paintings progressing under
favorable conditions, but not over p per cent
absolutely safe, balance still IN fields. June
uplands scarcely ready. Planters in good

Much Of the foregoing is of necessity OF a
predictive character. This is one Of the
critical periods of rice. A considerable per
cent of that which is harvested is lying or
stacked on the fields. Large quantities are
just maturing or not due until October Dry
weather sucn as they are now having in
Louisiana will materially injure the yield; on
the other hand heavy storms may arise,
damaging both quality and quantity. Rice
is hardly to be calculated on before it is
milled and ba-relled for market. II all goes
well the total production will not vary ma
terially from last year and if, as now
promised of good and prime quality, will be
easily marketed at about the present rates.
