ABOUT UPLAND RICE.

We have several times called atten-
ton TO the practical demonstration of
the prOfitablenesS of upland rice cul-
ture which several of our Cumberland
farmers have made. Professor Gerald
McC ar1hy. BOtanist of the Agriculture
al Department. send us some notes
on this subject which we commend to
all concerned as follows:
Every farmer living east of Hills
bOrO or Charlotte who has any natur-
ally moist land, should plant q little
rice upland this Year. Recent reports
from Alabama claim Il yield of 20
bushels OF rough rice per acre and
two tons of straw. The present mar
kct price for upland rice. in chatf. is
80 cents per bGshel. The crop is as
salable as cotton. The United States
imports more than half the rice it
consumes, although there IS Il duty
| Of , cents per pound. The straw,
when we'll cured, is nearly as good
| as baled timothy for horses and
mules.
Rice with shells removed but not
| polished. is 4 strong food and far
| more wholesome than corn meal for
| inhabitants Of n warm climate. AS a
| fattenine food for fowls and pigs
| rice has no equal. There are now on
| the market seven excellent hand and
| power machines for removing the
| she'll or husll from rice. These cost
| from $50 to 5000. The larger sizes
| are suitable for erist mills. the
| smaller fer farm use.
For upIanGs the White Carolin;
seed is best. 1t should be soaked 2
hours before planting and then be
dropped in freshly made drills q

hard times will come upon US. and over
the land the price Of wheat Will 60 down

and aims to do in wiping out that

ate. consumption. it is not the ad-
vertising scheme Of patent medicine
concern. nor a boon for any health re
sort. Tie movement behind the So
ciety has the support of the leading
medical scientists Of the country.
Dr. A. G. Young of the Maine state
Board Of Health has given the matter
much study and has published the re-
suit of his Investigations of the sana-
tariums. for consumptives. The au-
thorities hold that the death OF 900
persons yearly Of consumption in this
country is a needless sacrafice,
stupendous calamity which is pre-
ventable. When an acute calamity
Overtakes any community or section
the sympathy Of the nation is shown
by prompt and substantial work of re-
lief. The Galveston disaster is
case in point. But how apathetic the
masses remain in the face Of such a
chronic calamity as that which takes
its victims by the thousands. every
month, into consumptives' graves.
Medical men hold that there are i'm
mense sections where the consump-
tives' chance of recovery is wonder
fully increased under proper treat
ment. Some of these places are in the
Southwest others here in the East, in
New York, North Carolina. western
Massachusetts and northern Maine |
Several sanatariums have been erect |
