RICE and WHEAT
PRODUCTION SAME

Washington. Nov. 15-Rice forms the
chief cereal food of about one half the
worlds population and wheat the chief
cereal food for the other half. Cur
iously enough the quantity of these two
cereals produced apparently differs but
little, the latest estimate placing the
worlds rice crop at about 10000, OOO,-
900 pounds and the wheat crop at about
100, 900, 100000 pounds.
The above facts are presented i'm a
bulletin from the department of COM
merce and labor dealing with the re-
markable increase in rice production in
this country.
In the last decade the rice produce
ton in the United States has equaIled
that OF the half century Immediately
proceeding. Over 600.0O0.00O pounds
were produced In 1908. Louisiana and
Texas raising together more than go
per cent of the total. Even during the
recent period OF large domestic produc-
ton, importations have continued at
about the same rate as In former years
while the exports, save In one or two
exceptional years. have been compara-
lively small, thus suggesting a largely
increased home consumption.

Des Moines, Iowa. Nov. 13.-Cow
culture clubs are the latest in the club
line in Iowa. They are being organized
by an enterprising professor in animal
husbandry at the state Agricultural
college who is interested in the extern
sion work, Prof. r. X. Bliss.
1t is movement organized with
view Of increasing the output of butter
from Iowa millions of pounds. 1t is
a step towards solving the recent
problem of having consumers for more
butter than can be produced. Mr..
Bliss urges that more cows are not
necessary, but merely to increase the
efficiency of the cows kept for dairy
purposes. To this end he is organizing
all over Iowa the cow culture clubs.
The plan is for twenty-six farmers to
club together, elect a president, secre-
tary and board of directors, and hire a
man whose business 1t is to visit each
Of the farmers every working day of
the month. His duty is to weigh the
food given the COW and estimate the
pasturage she will eat. Then he weighs
the milk she produces night and morn
ing and takes q test to ascertain the
amount of butter fat in her milk.
From this test he computes the amount
of butter fat produced during the
month, and also the cost of producing
it. At the end of the year the farm
er can tell approximately how much
sbutter fat each cow. has produced and
the cost of producing it, and hence
will make an intelligent selection of
his cows for breeding purposes.
