LANDS REDEEMED FOR RICE CULTURE.
This remarkable change in the movements into
and out of the United States is due in part to
the large increase in production which has re-
Gently developed in Louisiana and Texas and in
part to the relations of the United States
with certain rice-consuming communities espe-
cially those of Porto Rico, Hawaii and Cuba,
the two former through annexation and the latter
through the reciprocity treaty Formerly rice
was grown only in the coast counties of the
Carolinas and Georgia and the Mississippi delta,
but few years ago it was discovered through
experiments made by the Department of Agri-
culture that certain prairie lands in southern
Louisiana and Texas, which had been formerly
considered fit only for grazing, were peculiarly
adapted to rice culture. These prairies are COM
paratively level with slight slope toward the
Gulf, and have a number of navigable rivers
and numerous lakes and bayous from which ir-
rgtion, so necessary for rice culture, can be de-
veloped and conducted at comparatively small ex-
pense The prairies from 20 to 20 feet above
the surface of the streams and bayous, and in
tersected by numerous ridges slightly higher than
the rest of the land. On these ridges canals
are built the surface level by throwing up
parallel levees, while pumping plants at the
heads of the canals lift the water from the stream
or lake into these canals, from which it is car
ried by gravity to the areas in which it is re-
quired for irrigation.
LARGE MOVEMENT OF POPULATION.
In addition to this, the prairies in question
are underlain at depth of from 100 to 400
feet by a water-bearing gravel, from which a

vey, that this area especially available for
rice production resulted in large movement OF
population from the States of the Middle West
to this rice-producing section, and, as conse-
quence, the production of rice in the United
States has grown from less than 100 million

combination OF diminishing supply and increasing
uenand IS rise IN prices. In five years the prices
Oh hr and pine timbers have gone up fifteen per
cent, and threatens to go rapidly higher In the
case of England, for instance Is per cent. of an
annual outlay of SIZE, 100000 is serious enough,
Dut 1t is the merest bagatele to the advance that
must follow as the demand still increases, and
the supply continues to diminish.
Now great expert has well described these
pine and fir timbers as the staff of life of our
building trade, Our picture of paterfamilas en-
tering his suburban retreat by a steel door, and
dropping his walking rod of steel into a cast
iron stand is not one of fancy.
The position of the Britisher would be bad
enough if there no help for it. But it is
worse when he reflects that while spending $125,-
100000 year foreign timber which steadily
increases in price, Great Britain has more than
sufficient surplus land at home to produce that
timber
Some 100000 acres would suffice the needs
of Englishmen and there are 12,0O0,0O0 acres
of waste land and 100000 acres of mountain
heath land to choose from. This without putting
single acre out of cultivation!
In France, Germany and the United States,
with their infinitely greater resources in timber,
there are Government Forest Schools for practical
demonstration in the science of forestry.
SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE.
A few private and municipal organizations are
doing some useful work in England well as
in America An interesting demonstration is
being given in the Black Country, for instance
by the Midland Reafforesting Association, over
which Sir Oliver Lodge presides. They have
shown that it is possible to convert the most
desolate patches of pit waste, furnace Stag, and
dross into veritable oasis where young trees grow
and thrive.
The Liverpool Corporation, again, has mad.
large plantations in the watershed which drains
into the Vyrnwy Reservoir. They have proftee
by the lesson enforced by France in her recent
forest planting ON the shores of Biscay. 1t il
now beyond doubt that such forest plantations
reduce extremes of temperature, make the all
more humid, precipitate the rainfall, and i'm
prove the soil drainage.
The timber thus grown under competent man
agement in Britain is the equal of any in th'
world. European red wood and white wood, whcl
are so highly esteemed for structural purposes
are yielded by the Scots pine and the spruce
two of the commonest British trees.
The country that endows forest schools help
to make the waste places glad, and the waters T.
run in the dry places, whilst providing employ
ment and tapping an immense source OF wealth.

~ a YNIlEN we read OF the wholesale manner
| =" in which the forests of the world are
k=zs==== being cut down to obtain lumber and
lG&tExlj when we note the manner in which the
price of the aforesaid lumber scars
skyward, the question arises as to what we shall
do when the wood is entirely exhausted, which
is time not far distant. 1t will be good-by,
then, to the pretty picture of paterfamias speed

for coal; indeed, there is already an increasing

EVEN CANADA BECOMING EXHAUSTED.
But, says an incredulous reader, what of the
vast inexhaustible primeval forests of Norway and
Canada? Well, those forests are vast enough, but
general opinion Notwithstanding, they are rapidly
becoming exhausted. OF late years the consump-
ton of timber in the production of paper pulp
and eellulose has increased enormously, and the
exports from the overworked forests of Norway
have already begun to fall off, while the United
States makes daily greater demands upon the
Canadian timber It must not be forgotten too,
that both these countries are prodigal with their
timber. Norway is absolutely reckless with the
AK, and Canada makes quite inadequate efforts
to protect its forests from the devastating fires
which consume ten times as much wood as is CON
verted 10 commercial uses
In Austria, Hungary which is another source
of supply, the situation is now regarded as 50
serious that there is considerable agitation for
the imposition of prohibitive export duty on
raw timber. Russia, also, has less and less sur
plus, owing TO industrial development and in
creasing population.
DEFICIENCY GROWS MORE SERIOUS.

HELP FOR THE JAPANESE.
While the rice exports have grown with ire
mendous strides recently, the figures for the pres
ent year will show a great bound forward. The
Japanese rice crop has been failure, and in
parts of the island there is great suffer
ing for the lack of rice, which is the staple
food. The pictures shown herewith give some
idea of the conditions existing in Japan. The
central figure, of the old man in state of star
vation, is from sketch from life The other
sketches were also recently made. The United
States and Great Britain have been largely in
strumenta in relieving the distress both in the
furnishing of money and food. Great quantities
of rice have been shipped from the Pacific ports
of the United States
SUBJECT OF WIDE COMMENT
The gigantic strides made in the production
OF rice has been a subject of worldwide comment.
Figures compiled by the Department of Com
merce and Labor through its Bureau of Statistics
show that the exports of rice to Cuba alone
in the fiscal year 1905 amounted to 34,976,414
pounds, against 69s9S3 pounds in the preceding
year, the value of rice exported to Cuba being
$993, 3,819 in 1905, against $19,9S5 in 1904. The
total value of rice of domestic production ship
ped out of the country in the fiscal year 1905,
including that to the noncontigous territory of
the United States, was $5,361 Gal, against $667,-
3S7 in 1900 and $16,454 in 1895. Meant'ce
the imports of rice have fallen from practcany
four million dollars in 1899 to two million in
1905, and for the first time in the history OF
our commerce the rice exports exceed in value
the rice imports. Prior to 1899 the rice imports
ranged between three and four million dollars
per annum, and the exports had never reached
as much as 100000 in value. In 1900, as
already indicated, the exports exceeded half a
million dollars, in 1901 they were about one and
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-02

Unfortunately, this shrinkage of supply is ac,
eompanied by growing demand In forty years
we have more than trebled the import of timber,
and at the present rate of increase in their con.
sumption OF timber, the four principal importers
-Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and France
