Eagle Lake, Texas, November IA
Arrangements are being perfected by
which about $500 acres Of land will
be planted in rice, near Eagle Lake,
next year. Messrs. Vineyard, Walker
Il Company are preparing to build a
canal from the Colorado river to their
tract Of prairie land and will plant
about 1900 acres. All the farmers are
becoming interested in the rice bust
ness and land which heretofore has
been considered good for nothing but
grass and cattle is fast going up in
price, and it is predicted that ere long
the prairie land around Eagle Lake
will be worth $4,000 per acre. The
rice industry is causing the advance.
