THINKS PRICES WILL IMPROVE.
Manager ParamOre Optimistic on Rice
Prospects.

Ed. f. Paramore. vice president and
general manager of the Houston River
and Hunter Canal companies, says
that the rice farmers of Calcasieu par
ish are foolish if they dump their rice
upon the market at present prices. In
conversation with an American re-
porter this morning, he said:
"The rice farmers need not be in a
hurry to sell their rice. There is
plenty Of money in the north, from
which section [ have but recently re-
turned, and it is being loaned at from
four per cent to five and one-half per
cent in Chicago, St. Louis and New
York.
But the financial prosperity wave
has not as yet hit the south, cOnse-
quently the southern rice mills have
not yet got the money with which to
buy rice. New Orleans, the financial
center of the south, has been and is
still in bad way, but conditions are
getting better every day.
ere long the bankers of New Or
leans will 90 east for help, and when
they do. the rice mills will be able to
secure what money they want. Then
they will begin to bid for rice and the
farmers will get what it is worth,
which should be $500 barrel.
'"The demand for rice is increasing
all the time. In the New England
states the increase in consumption has
been over rs per cent the past two
years, and if Connecticut, with twice
the population, would eat as much
rice per capita as Louisiana, the
whole south could not supply the de.
mand.
"The rice farmer has a sure thing if
he will but hold on.
"Calcasieu parish has the best rice
fields in the whole State of Louisiana:
its canals are free from salt water and
its land is the best for the growth of
the plant.s Why, the Houston River
Canal Company alone has within the
past year drained over 5000 acres of
the finest rice land in the world, and
this land is now open for the occu.
pancy of intelligent and industrious
farmers. Any man who is willing to
work can make good money growing
rice on this land, and if he has the
ambition so to do, he can soon secure
home in Calcasieu parish, where he
will be respected liked and helped by
all of it's citizens.
"The golden age of the rice farmer
is just dawning, and the man who
adopts this sort of agriculture during
the next few years is as certain of
success as he is of seeing the sun rise
and set each day"
