SouNuSln lSNdS lS SHSdSllS SN'CiI sively in rice growing for the first time iu it's history, last year having produced rice crop valued at S2,5O0,- GOO. Level land that will hold water above ground is the first requisite, aud that about Imperial seems to be ideal rice land. Farm and Ranch says:
 Besides making au excellent food for the family, the hulls, the bran, the polish and the straw are valuable as feed for stock. while the polish makes an excellent bread. As d feed for stock, rice straw is said to surpass prairie hay This year, owing to lack of feed in the coast country, there would have been much suffering among stock, but for this straw. This straw likewise makes the best quality of pa per and an excellent opportunity is of fered for the erection of paper mills.
 "As one searches the history of other agricultural products. he is lost in anazement to find that not one is equal to rice when it comes to single crop building up and maintaining city in prosperous condition. And yet that is what rice has done for Crowley, La. That section of the country is practically unfit for any other crop eXcep, rice, and that is the only crop grown in that vacinity as a money crop. While the work of rice farming is generally considered un- pleasant, it brings together in com muuity the better class of farmers and citizens. The lazy and shiftless farmer will never make a success as rice farmer, and the man who is looking for soft snap is given fair warning that it is not to be found on rice plantation, as , ere is plenty of hard work, and disagreeable work to be done in come ction with it. But the returns are generally sufficient to jus tify the hardships.
 Hast year, B. w. Camp of Houston, had his first acreage of rice planted. He says he was green at the business and it was not to be expected that he would make anything like all extra success. He was late in getting his pumping machinery in working order and did not expect to make enough to pay for the cultivation. However, he managed to save a part of his crop by flooding it and where he had water he made yield of S7 bushels per acre. This rice he sold at S1 per bushel. making $S7 per acre. At Bay City last year, the farmers were generally green upon the subject of rice-growing, and yet in some instances yield of ll2 bushels to the acre was made. The average yield per acre was twelve sacks, or forty-eight bushels. Some of this rice was cut too green, causing the grain to be light, and consequently | in such instances the rice did not bring $1 per bushel. There is also danger of letting the rice stand in the fields too long, until it becomes so ripe as to cause the heads to droop and fall to the ground. Then when the binder passes that way the heads are cut of and drop to the ground, while only the straw without the grain is bound. "

LESSONS FROM TEXAS
Application to Imperial Valley of tA-

which are being successfully grown on a large scale in Texas, aud evidently with considerable profit. These are cotton, sugar cane aud rice. It is not demonstrated that any of these crops will thrive in this country, but there is reason to believe that they will do so, and they will certainly be given thor ough tests. Whether it is worth while to attempt to grow these crops here depends on the profit with which they are grown elsewhere.
 So far as the cotton of the Southern States is concerned, it is not expected that it will thrive here, as it seems to need more humid climate than we have. But on the other hand, the long fibre and more valuable cotton of Egypt cannot be grown in the South ern States, because it will not stand humidity, and it seems particularly adap,e ,o this dry climate.
 In recent issue Farm and Ranch, of Dallas, Texas, gives all interesting series of articles on sugar cane and rice growing in that State, portions of which quoted below are of interest here:
 1.-The first thing in cane growing is seeding the land. The cost of this the first year is so great that man with out capital has no business fooling with it. It is not renters crop, as few renters can afford to invest SlO per acre in seeding once in three or four years. When this is averaged up it costs only $2, 50 or s per acre per year. The seeding is dcne in the spring by opening furrows about six to seven feet apart aud laying two stalks of cane parallel in these fur rows. Every joint of these seed stalks started. Then the cultivation begins. This is done largely by using blows more on the order of a large sweep or middle burster, while the team is worked double between the rows, throwing the soil both ways toward the cane. When the cane is about waist high it is laid by, by ridging it up. When it is matured the leaves are stripped, the tops cut off and then the stalk itself is cut and laid in wind rows, from which it is taken in large wagons and carried to the cars and from there it is run into the sugar house where the manufacturing pro- cess begins.
 "The cane will yield on an average about 1S5 pounds of sugar per ton. The cane is bought at the mills on a sliding scale, the latter and the man ufacturer alike, being dependent upon the market price of sugar to determine what the business can safely pay This year the planter realized about S2 GO per ton for his cane after deduct ing freight charges. Estimating about eighteen to twenty tons per acre this is about $6o per acre. Aside from the seeding the cost of cultivat- ing and gathering the crop of cane is about the same as crop of cotton.
 "A valuable addition to the cane planters crop is to have good herd of cattle to consume the leaves and tops of the cane.
 "There are more sugar mills and re- fneries needed in the Texas cane belt

BIG DAY At BOWERS' BEACH
1t Vas Great Time for Politicians
Rakirs and Farmers
Special to the evening journal

Dover Aug. To- Yesterday was "Big
Thursday at Bowers Beach, one Of
the most popular Of the Delaware bay
resorts, and it is estimated that from
5000 to 10000 country people, fakirs.
small boys and politicians were gath
ercd there, hard at wOrk-either work
ing or being worked.
Big Thursday is an institution in
q class all 'by itself, and it is looked
forward to by farmers and their fam
lilies for weeks. Coming as it does at
time when the heavier part of the
farm work is over, a good deal of the
cash has been received for the toll
and products. great caravans OF the
country people start as early ais the af-
ternoon previous from all parts of low
en- Delaware, and from Queen Anne and
Caroline counties in Maryland.
BY noon the beach was lined for hall
mile with a black chain of carriages
end vehicles of every description. while
as many horses were picketed here
there and everywhere to have served
Lord Kitchener's army.
The fazirs, who had come in slOOps
and sailing vessels under cover of the
night. began business early in the day
deyOuring the dollars of the farmer
young and old, who was out for sport
don't care what it costs. AS soon ai
they would badly work a victim, tin,
iakirs would stealthily wend their way
through the crowd until they were los
in 1t, only to turn up again on another
part of the beach. 1t was the opportu
nifty of a lifetime for the politician
thus thrown face to face with an army
Of his constituents. and he made goot
with his line of talk.
There were all sorts of amusement
provided for the people, even tC
vaudeville shows and band concerts
and it was midnight before there wa
any perceptible thinning out of tn,
great crush of teams and people.
