THE remaining days of the stay in
Texas were spent at Bay City, in
Matagorda county, a coast county, and
at Eagle Lake, Lissie and Chesterville,
in Colorado county. Bay City is less
than five years old and was started and
largely built up by northern men. It
has a population of 1000 and is one
of the best business points of it's size
in the state. The adjacent rice lands
have made the town.
The Colorado county towns lie in a
rich prairie section, greatly resembling
the prairies of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. Rice farming is carried on
there by means Of canals from the
Colorado river and by so-called artesian
wells, which, it was said, furnish an
inexhaust;ble supply of water and
really grow better with age. Colonel
John Linderholm of Chesterville form
erly of Chicago, originally the owner
OF. 5000 acres adjacent to Chester
vile and Lissie, met the northern vis-
1tors with cOnveyances and escorted
them over his immense holdings, the
better part of two days being spent
in the vicinity.
Eagle Lake, town of less than
1000 population, fairly hummed with
business. A large rice mill, sugar plant
and cotton gins are among the indus
trial institutions of the place. Bust
ness men called upon the northerners
and escorted them at night thru the
rice milling plant.

Mr.. Hurd is given full credit in the
south for revolutionizing and Edevel-1
oping the business of rice culture.
Prior to his arrival in the country and
the formation of his company, rice was
grown in primitive way by a few
persons who planted the seeds in beds
and then transplanted to lower ground
adjacent to some pond from which the
water could be turned on. One rice
farmer under this system had his hands
full to raise an acre and.ra half each
year. Under the canal and pumping
system devised and put into success1 vi
operation by Mr.. HurdA one farmer can
raise $50 acres yearly and the value of
rice land has increased from $3.50 an
acre to an average of $25 and $50
In 1850 there were about .l10 acres
of rice in Texas. For some years the
industry declined and at}1the expiration

The total in 1890: was about l35 acres.
state by the American company was
ready for operation. - Thereafter the
increase of the rice industry in Texas
was phenomenal. The area planted in
1908 was estimated at 100000 acres,
not concentrated lin a few counties as
formerly, but distributed along the
the east to the Rio Grande on the
west and to an extent of thirty miles

The American Rice Cereal company's
property in Texas consists Of pumping

pumping stations and controls the
water supply for 100000 acres of rice
lands, of which $4,000 <or more acres
are in rice cultivation. It has 285

there is no other agricultural industry
that is fraught with such possibilities.
Rice draws but "a per cent of the ele-
ment consumed in it's growth from the
soil, and hence is not exhausting. It
draws 76. per cent from the air and
water. The principal factor is water,
and it is as essential for the welfare
off at the right time as that it be
turned on at certain stage of the
growing season.
The farmer contracts with the canal
company for a supply of water and
has the usual recourse against it In
case Of any failure. The customary
rental charged by the canal company
is one-ffth of the crop, each year, on
the basis. of an average yield and a
conservative price Of So an acre. n,

The average yield an acre is about
