Beginning Of Rice Culture in South
Carolina

The introduction of rice growing into
South Cnrolina neatly 200 years ngo wns
by something very like an accident.
Thomas Landgravc Smith, before coming
to this country, had paid some attention
to rice culture, and on &C tling in South
Carolina had become impressed with the
idea that the climate aud low. lying lands
of shat region were we'll adapted for
rice growing. In the year 1894 sm,ll
vessel frem Madagascar put into Charles
ton harbor in distress. 1t turued out
that there was in the cooks keeping a
small quantity Of rice, snd this fell into
the hands of Landgravc Smith, who
planted 1t i'll low. most portion of his
garden The plant grew aud ripcncd in
manner that was most encouraging.
Mr.. Smith distributed the seed among
his ncighbors, and eventually rice became
the staple product of the colony. At
first the rice was cultivated on the high
land and on little spots of low ground
The low ground was soon found pref
ernble, and the inland swamps were
cleared to extend tho culture of the plant
As the fields, in the process of time,
became too gras and stubborp, they
were abandoned for new clcarings, and
so on until at length the superior adop-
ton of the tidc,la and the great
facilities for irrigation afforded by their
location was discovered. For thes, the
inland plantations were gradually aban-
doncd.
