Arkansas Rice.

About the turn of this century
experiments were begun in the
growing of rice by means of irriga
zion on the prairie lands of Arkan-
sas. BY 1905 AGO acres was
planted in rice. the yield was o.
$50 bushels, or 1876 bushels per
acre, valued at $22.556. At that
time the tota' acreage in the coun-
try was more than 1000 times the
acreage of Arkansas. Last year
Arkansas planted 5000 acres in
rice, a little less than one-hun-
dredth of the total acreage of the
country, and the yield was 1922
900 bushels, valued at $4,000.
In the number of bushels per acre
$50 Arkansas led the rice-grow-
ing States, of which there are now
nine.

Stella's tears fell UNDECIDED on the
stiff blistered hands while the story
of the awful drive grew out of his
fevered babblings. Towards morning
he was quieter. Stella declared she
could not rest, but Sally B. drove her
to her room; ard nature and youth
soon prevailed. She awoke late in
the morning, depressed by dread her
rest had not banished. Her first
thought was OF Uncle Billy; her next
was of Phineas; and from him her

She dressed hastily and ran down
stairs, attacking it at once. Fruitless-

found it and began her work anew, re-

whitened her cheek, unsteadied her
hand. Waiting for neither breakfast
nor wraps, she flew up the hill to the
station.
