FIRST ARKANSAS RIGA.
Charles Wallace Produced Successful
Crop on Drained Swamp Land.

st. Louis, Nov. 17.-That rice can be
grown successfully within 400 miles OF
st. Louis has been demonstrated by
Charles Wallace. a farmer on the Roy
croft plantation, near the town OF Wa.
besseoa, ARK, aiang the Cotton Belt
Route.
Mr.. Wallace has Just sent - st.
Louis some specimens OF the rice he
cultivated this year, as an experiment.
The results Of his planting are sufn-
cent, hc says. to prove that the Chi
nese delicacy may be grown with profit
on Arkansas soil, which heretofore has
been considered unfit for cultivation
because Of the swamps which abound
Last Spring Mr.. Wallace, having
read that rice Is grown best ON soil
similar to that in the swampy part of
the Roycroft plantation, decided to try
an experiment.
He ditched and drained a parcel Of
the wet land and planted 1t to rice. The
planting was done June 4. Later Mr..
Wallace learned that he should have
planted earlier to obtain the best re-
suits.
AS it was, the rice produced is of
excellent quality. Next year Mr.. Wal
lace proposes to put in his crop early
and to employ more improved methods
OF cultivation. He says he has learned
that the soil and the climate are
adapted to the cultivation of rice, and
he believes that with a little more ex-
perience he can grow profitable crop
and thus turn into commercial asset
land that has been deemed practically
worthless.

Louisville, Nov. IA hundredba
rel well was the greatest strike CT the
week in the Kentucky Oil fields. This

Jones sand November II. The oil

several hundred barrels of oil were
wasted.
The well has served to stimulate op-
erations in that section. Another well
is drilling on the Miller farm. The
No. | well on this farm is a small pro-
uucer. The No. well is 800 feet down.
The Richland Oil Company brought in
a fifth well on the Hammons farm at
