MORE ABOUT RICE SHORTAGE.
Twenty Per Ceut of Planted Acreage
May BE RMineds

On the ever-interesting subject of
the rice crop, this months Rice
journal says:
Following 8 protracted period Of
dry weather that threatened to de-
stroy at least 20 per cent, of the
planted acreage, the entire rice belt
of the gulf cost has lad a full week Of
almost constant rains. In some sec
tiOns there have been only occasional
local showers, " iIe in other sections
have been almost constant. Every
sec ion Of the belt however, has re-
ceived some rain since the 17th of
June and the drOuth has been effect
ually broken. In mosb sections the
rain came in time to save the late
planted rice and the almost unbroken
cloudy weather prevented the young
rice from being sCalded.
Daring the four or five days ending
with June - very heavy rains visited
the entire rice belt which may have
drowned out most Of the rice planted
from and after about the first Of June.
Rice that had not sprouted by the
middle of June has probably rOtted
! in the ground, while rice that was not
up to good stand before the heavy
rains came hos been in danger OF
being rotted as soon as high water
leaves the rice fields. 1t is estimated
that the damage done by the late June
rains may effect the crop to the extent
of rendering Intellectual as much as
twenty per cent OF the planted acreage
At this time the general condition
of the planted corp Ia good. The
early planting is up to q good stand
and has been making rapid progress
during the past ten days. Many
fields are already in the boot and i
the weather continues favorable there
will be some rice ready to cut earl,
in September The bulk of the crop
however, is from four to six weeks
late and there will be very little rice

frequently running twenty 10 thirty

of the total acreage on a basis of com.
parison with last year do not vary
more than ten per cent between high
and low estimates. 1t is generally
agreed that the total acreage planted
is about sixty per cent Of that of 1904
and that Texas has a larger percen.

average estimate Of the Texas acreage
placed it at about seventy-fye pei
