Cotton is not the only one
of the south's staple crops
that is short. The yield OF
rice this year is far below the
average, Texas and Louisiana
being 1000, 900 bags short of
what the crop was at first es-
timated. Should the price of
this favorite article of food
advance in price, submit
gracefully just as you expect
those to do who wear cotton
goods.
