RED RICE PUzZLES pu.ANTERs
OF Late Years 1t Has Increased In
Quantity on the Plantations.

Quantity on the Plantations
The rice planters and millers of South
western Louisiana are having some trouble
with the crop this season. For some I'M
accountable reason a considerable percent
age of it is red. This is not the first sea-
son that red grains have appeared among
the white. to be sure, but never before has
alton by chemists has shown that tho red
rice is equally as nutritious as white The
value OF the article as a matter of food is
not in the least injured by the red grains
But the fact remains that the colored
grains injure the sale of the rice they ap-
pear In. There is a movement on foot
among the millers looking to the removal
of the prejudice against red rice on the
part of consumers, but 1t, may be doubted
that 1t will be attended speedily with graf
flying results. 1t is very hard to remove
a prejudice. especially when it has to do
with the food one eats.
Red rice, it is said. grows more rapidly
with less cultivation, and ripens quicker
than the white variety. Where it origin
ated Is not known. but supposition among
Louisiana planters is that 1t is the result of
careles sor insufficient cultivation of white
rice Once a field or plantation begins to
show red grains it Is a matter Of extreme
dimculty to prevent the red from increas-
Ing rapidly. while without losing one or
more crops it Is almost an impossibility to
eradicate 1t. Maturing before the white
grains, the red rice drops seeds to the
ground before the crop is ready to be har-
vested. These seeds lie during the winter
anu terminate and grow the next spring.
No way has been found to destroy the red
seeds left on the ground, except to permit
them to spring up alone and then cut down
and destroy the plants before they have
time to reproduce other seeds. This, how
ever. is very costly process and one which
Is not likely to be resOrted to often.
popularity in connection with the ap-
pearance Of red rice in Louisiana is the
fact that it is giving the river planters no
trouble at all. but is troubling the planters
of prairie lands acknowledgements
