minute at each station In time he expects to add two more wells to each station. and thus enlarge the area of land to be irrigated. The pumps used in these wells are rotary pumps.
 The water rises to within thirty feet of the surface of the ground, and is most admirably adapted to the purpose of irrigating. None could be better.
 In sinking well, as was said before, water is usually reached al a depth of 30 feet. Then a stratum of sand about 80 feet in thickness is encoun- tered, filled with water, after which gravel is found tasting 30 30 or 44o0 44o0 feet. and resting upon a bed of hard clay, When this clay is reached the boring is always stepped, since the clay con- tains noswater.
 When the pumps are started, they are kept going nigh. and day for period of 90 days or thersabout. By that time the grain is nearly mature. When ripe it is cut and bound with machine made specially for that pur- pose. and very much like the ordinary self binder for cutting wheat, oats and rye.
 As rice is usually mu-h thicker and Heavier than wh Ia; h rice bnoer has a narrower cut tha he wheat binder and the drive wheel has long cleats CT spikes, two rows arrangei alternately. sIhese are to prevent the wheel from jEidin., as the ground is generally soft afte having bean wa.er-sosked al Summer. The vi eels are both c Used up solid like a car wheel, and the reason for this is evident The rice binder is drawn by five horses ard cuts from 7 fo 10 acres day. In harvesting his 40o acres Mr. Boys n kept two binders at work.
 The grainis shocked in the same ma ~ner as WI eat and oats, and must remain for q time tie shock to y ioat thoroughly. When dry 1t is threshed with machine. similse in almost every particular to the re yular wheat thresher. One machine WI thresh from thousand to fifteen hun dred bushels per day.
 The day that the ARGUS represen- tative visited MT. Boysen's planta- tioa-Cct. 3oth- beth harvesting and .threshing were in progress. The raising of rice, then. has this advan tage over other small grains, inas much that the harvesting and thrcsh ing are done at a time Of year when the weather is most pleasant for such heavy work,

In conclusion, # may be truthfully said. that no other part of Arkansas or of the whole South, for that matter. offers better inducements for the pros pective homeseeker, whether he is rich or poor. than Wheatley and its adjacent territory.

 With two railroads Wheatley will continue to prosper.
 FARMING.
 The two principal farm products of the territory adjacent to Wheaty have been cotton and prairie hay, though corn, pea-hay, oats and vegetables have also been liberally produced. Much cotton has been marketed at Wheatley, and it will always be an important factor in the prosperity and future development of this region. Wild hay is extensively produced on the prairie adjacent to Wheatley, and finds ready market at home and abroad; as pasture this prairie grass is both nutritious and fattening and aEs lords abundant grazing for hundreds Of heads of stock.
 But the industry that promises most for the future prosperity of this region is rice culture, which demands an ex- tended notice.
