never seen rice looking better at this

The recent rains have completely

10 be every prospect for an excellent
crop upon the present ACREAGE sown
This combined with the good price
when must necessarily follow the de-
creased yield, due to a decrease in the
acreage, will undoubtedly put the
planters OF the rice belt largely to the
good. The ground is now SO thor.
