How RICE Is RAISED.~-It is cstimat.
cd that tho people Of the United States
consume over BOO, O00, 900 pounds OF rice
annually, only about one half Of which
is raised in this country, says Southern
Field. Rice can be produced in ton
States OF the South, and there are now
about lI0, 900 acres devoted to it's cul-
tivation, although it is estimated that
there is an area subject to irrigation
fOr rice culture Of d: least 5000, 900
acres extending over several OF the
Southern States. The present crop is
almost entirely grown in North and
South Car0ina, Georgia and Louis
lana.
n low muck soil is best adapted to
this crop. Drainage and irrigation
should bo prepared before planting.
The general custom is to SOW br oadca t
ground. About two bushels TO the acre
are required. Planting Is usually done
in March and April. Fertilizers are as
necessary rs with any other crop, and
should be applied before sowing and
worked well into the soil. When the
plants are from six inches to foot
high the water Is allowed to partly
cover the plants, care being taken to
draw OF the old water occasionally to
avoid damaging the crop. Canals are
used, tho water being supplied from
creeks or rivers by gravity, or raised
from wells by windmills or other power.
The water Is drawn of when the grain
is in the dough, and the fields left to
dry while the grain ripens, the cutting
being done while the straw is still
green, as 1t is more valuable for feed.
