Great Increase In Rice

The report of the Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture for the years 1905-06, which has recently been issued, shows a wonderful growth in the rice-raising industry in this state during the past few years. Rice grow ing Is at present carried on in Lon oke, Prairie, Arkansas, Lee and St. Francis counties, while in 1905 there were only 450 acres in the state that were devoted to the raising of this crop. Tho acreage last year was f. 34O and from present indications prom ises to be greatly increased this year. Rice will be raised in Ashley, Jeffer- son and Poinsett counties this year as well as in the counties mentioned
 in the foregoing. According to the table of production given in this re- port the total amount received for the rice crop in 1905 was $11,340 and in 1906 was $111,724 This increase in
 the value of the rice crop was more marked than that of any other agri- cultural product raised in the state.

Asks $1,ooo,ooo of AlIeaed Trust.

Antitrust suits were filed recently In Pulaski county Circuit Court by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton against the Smith Premier Typewriter Com pany and the Remington Typewriter Company. Both companies are New York corporations, maintaining agen- cles in Arkansas. The companies are alleged to have been in a pool or trust controlled by the Union Type writer Company of New Jersey. Each company is sued for $1,000,000. It is alleged the companies were engaged Ill business in Arkansas on March 25, l9O5, and each succeeding day to the date of the suit, except Sundays. It Is claimed the Union Typewriter Com pany fixed the price at which the companies were to sell typewriters and supplies, and also the price the companies were to pay for old ma chimes in exchange for new ones. It Is claimed the companies reported each day to the Union Typewriter Company and shared in the distribu. tlon of the profits. These alleged acts are declared to be in violation of the Arkansas antitrust act.

Biz Peach Crop.

It is predicted that the peach crop In Sevier county this season will be the largest ever produced in that sec tlon. The trees have all the fruit they can take care of, and in many or chards some of the trees will require thinning. The peaches are large and the indications point to early maturi- ty. It is predicted the crop will amount to 800 carloads. The big Or chard between De Queen and Horatio has at least 1,500 acres of trees in bearing, and the managers look for a crop of 800 carloads. while the small CT orchards in the county will doubt less produce 300 carloads more. There are about 300 bushels to the car, and this estimate would give 15o,000 bushels of peaches. Should this crop be properly gathered, pack ed and marketed, it should sell for at least $225,00O

Crop Must De RepIanted.

The Bureau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, in response to letters sent out to the principal cotton grow. CTS of all the cotton raising coun- ties of the state, asking for a compar- lson of the acreage and prospects of the cotton crop this year compared to that of 1906, has received a large number of replies, from which the department has estimated that the cotton acreage this year will be about 50 per cent of that of last year, and that most of the cotton will have to be replanted. This estimate, how ever, was made without regard to the storms of the past few days. and upon the assumption that the cold and wet weather was ended for time at least. It is probable that if the exist ing weather conditions are taken into account that the percentage of the crop this year will be materially re. duced.

Woman Rescued From We'll.

Mrs. Cal Green a farmers wife liv- ing near Forgy in Sevier county, fell into a 3O-foot well recently, but was rescued after remaining in a perilous position for nearly an hour. Mrs. Green went to the well to wash some vegetables, and in some manner fell into the well. When she struck the water 90 feet below she grasped a projecting rock in the curbing and clung to it, being encouraged to do so by neighbors who went to her assist. ance. The bucket was at the bottom of the well, out the rope was not of sufficient strength to bear the weight of the woman. Her rescuers procured some trace chains, fastened them to- gether, and, attaching one end to a nail keg, lowered it into the well. Mrs. Green stood in the keg and held to the chain and was hoisted to the surface in safety.
