 Rev. NJ. B. Umsted of Beebe was ap- pointed to have charge of the cam paign for raising the funds, but it was decided that one layman in each of the 21 districts in the state would be ap- pointed to have charge of the work in his particular district. The church has had the plan of rebuilding the orphanage under consideration for some time, and those who attended the meeting Thursday were enthu- siastic in their support of the project
 The church now owns three lots at Fifteenth and Commerce streets. upon which is large wooden structure used for the home. The orphanaSe ls m charge of the matron and one asslsta ant and they are aided in caring for the inmates by the older girl in the home

May Grow Rice on State Farm.

The question of getting rid of the Johnson grass on the state convict farm in Lincoln county will probably be discussed at the next meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the state penitentiary, which will be held Monday
 It has been suggested that a large tract of the land where the Johnson grass grows to such an extent as to make it improbable to raise corn or cotton be converted into rice field. The soil is well adapted to the pro duction of rice, being the same as that in Jefferson county below Pine Bluff. where Judge James Gould and John F. Rutherford have made suc- cess of it's cultivation. One of the advantages in establishing a rice field on the state farm is that 1t can be done at little expense and be operated at less expense than those on the prairies in Arkansas, Lonoke and prai. rie counties.
 Growers of rice in the latter coun- ties. in order to secure water, must sink wells and erect tanks at consider able financial outlay which would not be incurred at the state farm, as na' ture furnishes all the water needed and the land is located so as to enable the convicts 10 flood the rice fields at any time with little labor and trouble and at comparatively small expense,
 Flooding the fields where the rice Is cultivated would destroy the Johnson grass in a single season. This year the sipe water from the Arkansas river ruined about 800 acres of cotton. The river at the farm was at the overflow stage last spring for 27 days, and the presence of all this water on the lana suggested the idea of utilizing 1000 or more acres for the production ot rice. It just so happens that the DOT tion of the farm most available TOT rice culture is where the Johnson grass grows the thickest.
 Last year the state farm produced between 300 and l 400 bales ot cot ton. but this year the yield will not be much in excess of ,000 bales. TWO hundred convicts now employed in picking cotton, and up to Tuesday had gathered between 300 and 400 bales None of the cotton picked this season has been placed on the market.
