WIN Raise Rice.

Rice culture is now attracting con-
siderable attention among the farm
ers Of Mississippi and a Wilkinson
county planter reports a successful
experiment with a sixteen-acre tract
cultivated this year by means of irri-
cation, and on which an abundant
yield was secured. In the hill coun-
ties experiments are being made with
upland rice, and in some counties
the farmers believe that they can
make rice an excellent substitute for
corn in drouth years. There is some
talk of building rice mills capable
of threshing out the crop of two or
threee counties and the experiments
made during the past year show that
from forty to sixty bushels per acre
can be raised on ordinary soil and
with the use Of very little fertilizer
the yield can be greatly increased.
