AMERIcAN-GRowN RICE.
II Has Doubled in supply and IL Be
Ing Exported to Many TrOp-
icaI Countries.


About one-half Of the population OF
the world depends upon rice as its
main food supply. If we look, how
ever, at maps showing the distribution
of cereal crops we shall find great
difference between the distribution of
rice and that of other grains. We
shall see that maize, wheat, rye, oats
and barley are scattered over wide
areas covering, perhaps, the half Of
continents The rice areas, on the
contrary, appear small and patchy,
says the New York Sun. They lie in
long narrow bands along the margins
Of the sea or in river valleys. The
reason is, of course that they are con-
fined to low, swampy districts where
paddy fields may easily be fioded. No.
where does rice spread over areas Of
wide extent, except in southern Asia,
where the extensive lowlands are
flooded or the valleys among the
mountains are irrigated with infinite
care.
Within the past four years the dream
of few theorists has been realized on
the plains OF Texas and in 1902 over
10000 acres around Houston yielded
100000 bags Of marketable rice,
worth $4,000, 900. In 1891. the year
after the rice boom struck Texas, So.
900 acres were in rice in the neigh.
borhood of Houston; and this year il
is expected that 100000 acres will be
planted; all of it land that five years
ago was worth only 81 or 81 an acre
for grazing and could produce only
four or five bushels of grain to the
acre. Costly irrigation has wrought
this Transformation 1t has been
proved that the very best rice crops
san be raised on these prairie lands
by spreading water over them and that
the industry pays large profit.
A few years ago that part of our
southen coastal plain which might
easily be flooded was producing only
about one-half the rice consumed by
our people. We are still importing
rice, but at the same time we are sell.
ing our home product in Hawaii, Porto
Rico, Cuba, Mexico and Central and
South America; and agents of the Rice
Association Of America are looking tc
Europe for a market, confident that
before very long we shall be able not
only TO fill the home demand, but also
to contribute important quantities to
foreign markets that now depend on
Burmah, Siam and Cochin China.
In five years we have increased the
home product nearly one-half. We are
changing the nature Of our rice i'm.
ports, which are now largely Of the
lower grades known as brewers rice,
used in the manufacture Of beer. Rice
culture on lands that can be flooded
only artifcially was the problem in
Texas; and its triumphant solution IS
turning a region Of scanty production
into very profitable farming lands.

TO PROTECT THEINDIANS
New Rules for Leasing and Selling
Real Estate In the Creek
Nation.

The Interior department, In 8
few days, will put into effect new
rules for the selling and leasing Of
lands in the Creek nation. In.
formation has reached the depart.
ment officials that outsiders are
imposing upon the Indians and
inducing them to dispose of their
lands for less than their real val
ue. Vigorous action will be taken
to prevent frauds of this kind. So
far the department has refused to
approve any OF the deeds and no
deed concerning which there is
the slightest suspicion will re-
ceive favorable consideration.
Judge Thomas Ryan, who, in
the absence Of Secretary Hitch
cock, is acting Secretary of the In.
terror, said that the new rules
would prevent extensive frauds,
and that while it would be difficult
to protect the Indians, the depart
,ment would take every possible
precaution. All Of the agreements
made by the land companies with
the Indians must be approved by
the Secretary Of the Interior. I'M
der the provisions of the new reg
ulations, Indians who wish to
dispose Of their holdings may pc
tition an Indian agent, whose
duty will tbe to advertise for ten
days for bids for the lands offered.
These bids must be presented
sealed. Before they are opened
the lands will be appraised, and
If il is found the prices bid for the
lands are below their appraised
valuation the bids will be rejected.
Only few OF the deeds transfer
ring land to the land companies
have been received at the Interior
department, and il is not known
there how many Of ths Indians
have agreed TO sell. II was said
that none of these transactions
had been investigated and the
stringent precautionary measures
adopted by the department will
probably not make an investiga
tion necessary. The lands that
may be sold under act Of Congress
aggregate about 2 inilIion acres.
The Indian may sell Of bis hold
ings except forty acres, which be
must retain for homeslends.
