ARKANSAS RICE CROP

Carlisle, May 27. I- Scarcely anyone who has not visited Arr kansas rice district during the present spring has any concep- tion of the rapid development which is in progress in this sec tiOn of the state.
 Six years ago there was not a rice field in Arkansas. Five years ago the first experiment. was made in the growing off this cer- cal in the vicinity of Carlisle by w H. Fuller who had grown rice in Louisiana and was deeply, im- pressed with the possibilities of rice culture in Arkansas. The cit iZens of Carlisle and vicinity rais- ed a bonus of $1,OOO which they agreed to give to Mr. Full Ter if he would make the first experiment. and could show a yield of 35 bushels to the acre on a tract of 70 acres.
 1t is said that MIl Fuller himI- self was surprised when in the fall he found that he had obtain ed more than "A bushels to the acre, The average yield in Louis jana and other rice growing, dis tricts has been 30 to 3o bushels to the acre.
 Encouraged by the success of MT. Fuller's experiments, num- Der of farmers not only ill the vicinity of Carlisle but through out the prairie district, planted large acres in rice the following year and almost without eXcep- tiOn they were as successful as Mr. Fuller had been. From that time OD the acreage devoted to rice has increased at the rate of from o0 to 100 per cent every year. From the small beginning made in the vicinity of Carlisle in 1904 the industry has grown until now thousands Of acres are devoted to rice culture in LOnoke Prairie. Arkansas, Poinsett and other counties, The great prairie country, which, while it has always been one of. the most attractive sections of Arkansas was of little productive value un- til five years ago has been con- verted into one of the richest az ricultural sections of the state and it is today attracting more immigration and is being filled up more rapidly by actual set tiers than any other part of the state. Hundreds of Northern farmers mostly from Illinois, Indiana and Iowa have been drawn to Arkansas during the last three years by the reports of the great profits made. in rice

culture and the immigration dur- ing the past year has been double that of any previous year.
 The great development of the industry and the solid founda tion upon which this development is built are most clearly indicated by the fact that five new rice mills are being erected in the rice belt at the present time. The first Arkansas rice mill was built at Stuttgart two years ago. At that time it was thought that this mill would be of sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the Arkansas district for some time to come. Before the end of the first season it was found that this mill was not large enough to take care of the rice grown in the Stuttgart district alone. At the same time the big profits made by this mill gave encour- sgement to others to enter the field. The result has been the formation of companies at five different points for the purpose of erecting mills. Every one of the five mills is now. in course of construction and will be ready for operation before the opening Of the harvesting season in August.
 The largest of the new, mills is that which is being erected at Carlisle by the Carlisle Rice Mil Company This mill will have q capacity of 500 barrels per day of 12 hours. The mill itself is four stories in height and is AS feet wide by So feet long. There will De warehouse for rough rice 2oo by 96 feet and another for clean rice 80 by 12S feet. The company which is building this mIn Is made up entirely of local men some of whom are ex tensive growers. The president of the company is NJ. B, Moore who lives Tn Little Rock. but has extensive interests at Carlisle.
 At LonOke a company has been organized and is building a mill which will be only slightly smaI- CT than the one at Carlislel 1t wlM have a capacity of GOO bar rels per day of 12 hours. The mill Will be four stories, IS feet wide and 64 feet long while there will De a warehouse 80 by IA feet
 At stuttgart another mill is being built by the same company winch built the first one and Work has also been started on mills at De Witt and Wheatley. At Wheatley the company which IS building the mill also proposes to build power plant which will supply electric power for the op- eration of the pumping machin- cry ln that vicinity. There are q number Of extensive rice farms Tn the vicinity of Wheatley the owners of which are co-opera ting in this project The use of .!ec- trlc power in the operation of the pump will be an innovation III the Arkansas rice belt but fit wlN probably not be many years before it is in common use\ Two or three rice growers in. the vii cinity of Lonoke are now plan nlng to secure electrical power rom the city electric light plant at that point, figuring that the cost of building the transmission Hines will be much more than off set by the saving in the cost of tionl

His Services.

The citizens Of Council Bluffs and many
OF his constituents from the Ninth Iowa
district, paid tribute 20 Congressman Wal
ter 1. Smith by attending the public re-
ception held during the afternoon in Bay
liss park and later In the evening, the
banquet given in his honor at the grand
hotel. What may have been lacking In
numbers at the afternoon reception was
made up In the cordiality and enthusiasm
with which Judge Smith was greeted by
all, Irrespective Of political ~affniaten. 1t
was the greeting due a distinguished citi-
zen, who has served on the district bench
and In the halls Of congress. Every seat
in the banquet hall was occupied.
The reception In Bayliss park Ia the
afternoon was strictly a nonpartisan well
come, such as It had been Intended II
should be. The esteem and affection In
which Judge smith is held by the veterans
Of the civil war was evidenced when the
old soldiers gathered at their post head
quarters and marched to the congress
mans residence and formed his escort to
the platform in the park from which the
brief exercises were held. The old soldiers
were accorded seats on the platform, and
Congressman NTH in his brief address
spoke feelingly OF the attention paid hin
Dy thOse veterans OF the civil war.

To Robert B. Wallace, former council.
man, was assigned the honor of presiding
at the afternoon exercises, and In his In
troductory address Mr.. Wallace spoke In
part as follows: A.,
our city has the reputation of being able
to throw aside, whenever the occasion de-
mands, any political or personal differ
ences, and enter with a sincere spirit into
such a celebration as we are enjoying to-
day. We should stand upon the broad and

honor and credit to our community. and
therefore we are glad Indeed, Of the op.
p%ortunity TO extend to him the right hand
Of good fellowship. We can say to him
upon this occasion, that, while the Ninth
district IN the past has often honored hin
city and state.
Turning to Judge Smith, Mr.. wallace in
closing said:
We come. not as republicans or demo-
Gratis; not as OF one religious denomlns-
cal doctrines buried and our personal
prejudioes forgotten. to extend to you, our
fellow citizen, a hearty welcome home
Tribute of Judge Deemer.
Mr.. wallace then introduced Hon. Ho-
race e. peemer Of Red paR, Judge Of the
Iowa Supreme court, who from his &C
quaintance OF more than twenty-five years
with Judge Smith drew material for an
euiogy OF the congressman's character as
a man, his ability as a lawyer and OF his
public services, saying In part:
/ care not how far Judge Smith may be
advanced, may he become speaker of the
house OF representatives, or member Of
the United States senate he will do as
much honor to. you in either position as
he ls doing In his present place in the halls
Of congress.
You appreciate that fact and, without
any suggestion from hin you gave him

know that It is non-partisan and non-po-
litical In character.
There are many reasons why the people
Of Council Bluffs should be proud Of
born In Council Bluffs and I have no
doubt you are proud Of 1t. In the second
place he has always been true to your In
terests and OF that you should be proud.
And, farther than that, no member OF
congress from this district has ever at
tanned the high position that Judge Smith
has.
Judge Smith is no idealist: he is not a
mere theoHst, but he is a finely educated
gentleman In all phases. I have seen him
In the flush OF victory, I have seen him IN
the disappointment OF defeat and through
It all he was strong, honest and courag-
eous.
/ saw him take his place at the bar, I
saw him go through the starvation period,
before his talents were recognized and he
began to make for himself a place in this
community.
1 saw him take his place on the judicial
bench OF THE dlctrlct and saw his excel
lent work In that field and. finally, Il
became necessary for this people to select
a man to go down to Washington and
represent the district In the halls of CON-
toned and that was Judge Walter I
Smith. He was sent to represent us in the
washington know something OF his stand
halls OF congress and we all know Of his
ing and character In that city.

Congressman Smith spoke briefly, open
ing his address with the following QUOTA

occasion OF his election to the United

tai $500, 10000 since the law went into
