Among the latest or the developed
industries of Texas is rice culture.
Enterprising Texans decided that it
would be good economics for our
country 10 increase the production Of
rice. and a matter or health for the
family greatly to increase its use as
a food. Formerly rice was raised
only in the swamps of the Carolinas
and Georgia. Such work vas suppos-
ed TO be unhealthy. Cultivation was
mostly by hand. as the ground was
too wet to employ teams Hence. the
hoeing and reaping was done by
hand, as in India. and only negroes
were deemed able TO do the work.
Now, in Texas. the cultivation OF rice
is by white men. Naturally drained
land and new methods OF irrigation
make it, in Texas. a healthful occu-
patton. The same methods are APP
piled to rice as are used in raising
wheat. G~ang-plows are used and the
cultivator and harrow and seed drills,
the same as with grain. Great reap
ers and binders move along. drawn
by mules, with no more manual
labor than is customary in the wheat
fields. The mills are located nea
the fields, and large communities OF
people, mostly northerners, are pros
pering in this industry in a region
which they have found suitable for
homes for their families.-Gilson
