RICE ANo SUGAR CANE.

Klssinnmse Valley to be Transferred
Into Cane AID Rice Plantations.
Hamilton Disston, in conversation with
the St. Augustine correspondent Of the
Standard, gives some interesting informa-
ton regarding the operations OF the Disston
company, of which he il the head, and o:
the capabilities of the soil which has been
rendered fit for cultivation.
The work OF reclamation was begun ten
years ago under contract with the state.
There are now 500, 900 acres Of land avail
able for growing crops.
"What do you think will be the principal
crops raisedf'
Sugar and rice will lead. The quality
OF the land is uniformly rich, and it has
been practically demonstrated that an aver
age Of 1000 pounds of sugar to the acre is
not high estimate, as actual tests have
shown a much higher yield. The average
consumption OF sugar in the United States
is computed at fifty pounds for each indi-
vidual, or estimating the popula-
ton OF the country at 65,0O0,-
900, would amount to $3.50, 900,
pounds. II the entire acreage were
planted in sugar it would amount to 2,0OO,-
600, 900 pounds or nearly two-thirds of the
entire consumption. / believe that by
means Of the bounty now paid for the pur-
pose Of encouraging the production of sugar
In the United States. and it is the opinion
OF Rrof. Wiley, the chemist Of the national
department of agriculture, in less than fif-
teen years the entire amount of sugar cons
sumed in the United States. will be raised in
this country.
Experimental stations are to be erected
at various centers OF sugar industry,
Nebraska for the analysis of beet sugar,
Kansas for sorghum and Florida and Louisi-
ana for cane sugar. II no change is made
in the policy Of the government respecting
the bounty, che pr oduction of sugar will
amount to millions Of dollars in Florida
alone.
"As for rice culture, that too is in its
infancy, but is destined to become a great
money crop for Florida. The Kelly brothA
ers, old Louisiana rice planters, are putting
out an immense acreage of rice around
Runnymede, and are confident from results
already obtained that it is the best rice
growing country in the world. They have
a mill erected with capacity Of 500
bushels Of rough rice per day.
I'VE are doing all we can to induce the
cultivation Of rice, Our lands are for sale
to all who wish to purchase, but in order to
induce immigration we will lease any
amount OF land free for the first year, and
will take the rent in the succeeding years in
rice, according to the amount raised. This
is not only more liberal proposition than
can be obtained from Louisiana rice
growers, where stipulated price must be
paid, crop or no crop. but at the same time
II demonstrates our faith in the virtue Of
the soiln
Mr.. -Disston was never so confident of
the results of his undertaking as at present,
and expects to see vast changes and re-
markable increase within the next few
years in the wealth, population and pro-
ductiveness of the Kissimmee valley.

TRASH IN COTTON.
A Remedy Suggested by a Maine
Mil Agent.

A Remedy Suggested by a Maine
Mil Agent.
A proposition, says the Boston Adrer.
tiser, has just been advanced by g. w.
Bean, agent of the Androscoggin mills at
Lewiston. for a combination among the
mills Of that city and of Biddeford for the
purpose of ginning their own cotton by
eS ablishing an agency and a ginning center
In some good cotton growing region and
making their own contracts for delivery.
1t has long been matter of surprise that
our manufacturers have been as patient as
they have in accepting the dirt and trash
which has been sent here from the south in
cotton of various grades, and some such
movement as the one noted above was not
unexpected by those familiar with the facts.
The stranger does il seem that that the
abuse has been allo wed to go on year after
year when it is considered that similar at
tempts to impose upon southern mills are
quickly resented and badly~ginned and
dirty colt n, when found by them, is re-
turned to the shippers with little ceremony.
As Mr. Bean suggests. they save per cent.
by this policy Of insisting on clean ginning,
ana our EaiRs, by making sure that their
cotton was cotton before it left the south.
would derive like benefit. He cites the
tumble-down cotton gin houses, especially
of South Carolina and Georgia, to show the
INABILITY OF many shippers to send better
cotton than they are now furnishing, and
as the owners are not likely
to erect better gins while the present ones
can be made to serve the purpose, nothing
short of some such movement as the one
| suggested by the Lewiston mill agent will
insure the results for which he in common
with other manufacturers has long hoped.
1t is safe to predict that il the Lewiston
Biddeford plan Is inaugurated, that it will
be looked upon with considerable interest
by cotton manufacturers everywhere, and
il successful, the scheme of mill co-opera-
ton in cotton ginning will find many imi-
| tators, for as we have intimated above, the
trouble from which relief is sought is in no
way local in its nature, but affects every
community where the cotton industry is a
factor.

GRAND JURY's REPORT.
To the Hon. Dudley DuBose, Judge OF the
Tenth judiciald district court ofthe State
OF Montana.
We, the grand jurors, OF the grand jury
in and for Fergus county, empaneled for
the May term. A. ID. 1891, OF the district
court, respectfully report that W ehaveb been
in session six days, and have examined
into all charges for public offences brought
before US, or to which our attention has
been specially called by the court.
We have considered seventeen cases and
found eleven true bills OF indictment and in
six cases have found no true bill.
We have, by committee. duly examined
the books and accounts OF the county clerk
county treasurer, sheriff and public admin
istrator and find the same to be properly
correctly and neatly kept as required b.
law.
\. We have examined into the condition O
the prisoners confined in the county jail
and find them to be well fed and lodged
and apparently satisfied with the treat
ment accorded them by the officers hsvin
them in custody.
In the matter of the inquiry into the cor
| ditien OF the poor farm, we have to repor
but one inmate there at the present TIM
i, that the quarters devoted to the use OF il
mates are kept in a clean and neat cond
ton; and that good and wholesome foo
