them well for an hour In cream. Place
these carefully in a glass dish. pour
cream over, and put a small heap Of
any kind of jam or stewed fruit that

cream placed on top of the jam is an
improvement. Half pint of cream is

Rice in China.

The Chinese records, said to be reliable in
this respect, indicate the culture Of rice in
China over 470O years ago, and it was then
looked upon as one Of the most important in
dustries and necessarily must have been a Gull
ture of some Importance hundreds of years
earlier. 1t was then SO important that the
emperor himself took part in the planting OF the
first rice.
In a like manner in the British East Indies
rice has been cultivated from time immemorial
and from there it is presumed to have spread
across Asia into the Mediterranean and its cul-
ture begun in Syria, Egypt, along the coast Of
northern Africa and later in Italy, France and
Spain. In Italy the culture is referred to as
having begun near Pisa in l468. In America it
is said to have been introduced in 1647 by Sir
William Berkeley, a governor Of Virginia, who
raised a crop of sixteen bushels Of rice from
half a hushel of seed.

rr17 wonderful PROGRESS making in agrlcul"
ture everywhere is evidence OF the fecoehi'oc
If the often made statement that the wealth. y
tho land lies in its soil. There could prooaoy
no no greater truth stated than that the "ea'"n
of the country lies in the men and women '1at

pIaouemines from q climatic point OF We" -
the most fayorably located parish m the s'A:e
of louisiana and what we need in this par1sh Is
that ve ourselves be brought up to a better ap'
nreciation of our OWn advantages ana III so1Ae
,vav he led. or taught how to develop them.
Tn order to do this we know OF no better
n)an than that Of having agricultural 1alfs'
which would teach our whole people what thelr
neiphbors are doing. BY contrasting ones pro-
dnce with another's we quickly develop such EN-"
u,ation as will lead al producers up to hlghef
standards of excellence. The great storm eha'
we had this autumn and the present 10" prices

deterrioc agents against any exceptional ehorV

We believe. however, that certain OF our pro-

these products at given times could be as"
sembled at a common center, say at the Coot'
House, and committees could be appointed IN
whom the public had confidence and prizes could
then he awarded to those who submitted the
best products of their own cultures.
In the item of corn, for instance, we are
very much concerned. Corn has become quite
q high priced product and is worthy OF Tar more
care than we have been giving to it during re"
cent years. In the upper parts OF the state
clubs have been organized among the boys and
thew have sought to excel each other IN the pro
duction of corn and certain prizes have been
awarded to those who have submitted the bes'
results. There are thousands OF acres OF gooc
corn land on the Lower Coast that 90 not pro
duce any crop whatever. Of course to produce
corn on any given piece Of land live stock mus
either be fenced out from the corn, or 1ence(
into their own pastures, as otherwise corn can

companv Of gentlemen would make up a serie
of saw $50 for the best acre Of corn grown; 81
for the best barrel Of corn grown and Sl0 TO
the best bushel of corn grown on the W
Coast, this contest being restricted to boys be
tween fifteen and twenty-one years OF agt
wonderful results would be brought about in tn
way of corn production and the necessary con
petition in such cultures would disseminate a
amount of information in the parish among COZ
producers of many times the value of the none
expended.
AS we have no parish fair organization, Il
Police Jury themselves, Or any committee tn
the Police Jury might appoint, could take t
matter in hand and formulate some work1
plan by means of which such a contest could
