and the State of double crops has become one of the so-called home-seeker territory.
 There is little wonder that Arkansas is taking so high a place in the favor of the people. It offers so many favorable fea- lures that are lacking in the North and east that the surprise is that more from those sections do not seek homes there. It has a climate unsurpassed for com fort.
 Getting down to cold facts and figures, the Northern farmer can easily see the difference in cost between the rigors of his own section and the balm of his Arkansas neighbor.' .'
 That Arkansas should be known as the State of the dou- ble crop" is gratifying, and the agricultural interets of the State should do all in ltheir power to deserve the credit that has been given.
 Arkansas is coming into it's own, and those who want to see it brought there and kept there must exert their best efforts to live up to the high standard that has been fixed for it by the Southwest Trail. Arkansas Dem ocrat.

The Soils of Arkansas.

Arkansas cannot discuss and exploit and advertise too thor oughly it's varied resources.
 Unlike the good wine that needs no bush, the resources of Arkansas cannot be too system atically and continuously kept before the people of the United States.
 More capital is needed, more me-seekers, more home-MAK- FRS, and the only way to get them is to keep the advantages of the State constantly before those who are likely to be in duced to come into the State.
 It is therefore encouraging to see as the leading article in the Southwest Trail, a development journal published in Chicago, an article on the soils of Arkansas, from which the following most complimentary paragraphs are taken:
 Arkansas is rapidly gaining a countrywide reputation as the State with an usually large va riety of soils, long list of crops that may be protitably raised and a multiplicity of natural re sources hardly duplicated any where else in the Union. This fame has spread far among the home-seekers of the United States, and even other countries,
The Carlisle independent., 1909-05-13

It is difficult to determine the exact yield of rice, but safe to calculate, however, when ar abundance of water is at hand the average yield will ruin quite seventy bushels per acre. Some farmers greatly exceed this.
 PROFITS
 Now we have reached the vital part of rice culture, and which, of course, influences all business enterprises. The first consider. ation is to calculate the cost and profit. No wise man ever en- parked in an undertaking with out weighing well these two points. One man can easily ham, dle one hundred acres of land. Some handle one hundred and fifty. The cost per acre, includ- ing the water rent, is about S10. If you are a tenant, add S7 more for land rent, and your total cost is about $17. The average price of rice is about $3 per barrel, and with an average yield you have $70 an acre, or $53 profit per acre, or s, 300 from one hun dred acres. These figures are conservative, and many farmers make much more.
 The difference between rice culture and other agricultural pursuits is, that rice planter grows nothing else. He does not want to do so, for theproduct from one acre of rice will buy several acres of corn, oats or hay. Therefore he buys all his feed stuff, except, possibly, a portion of his rice straw, which, when properly saved and cured, is used instead of hay. The rice farmer is not a competitor, as regards any other crop grown in our State. In fact, he has gone onto lands heretofore unOccupied, and being a good consumer, he is creating market for great quantities of corn, oats and hay. In fact, he goes farther than this, and buys practically every thing to eat and wear. He can afford to. Rice farming also takes just that much corn and cotton land from use for these crops, and pushes up the notch of di- versification as regards these States.
 Thousands of acres are rented to tenants for crop rent, and there is no crop grown that pays so well. There is no road to a home quicker than rice farming. It is nothing uncommon for ten ants to buy their own farms with the results of one years work.

RICE INDUSTRY
Methods of Cultivating and Harvest
 ing the Rice Crop.

Methods ot Cultivating and Harvest,
 ing the Rice Crop
 The following excellent arti- cle on the rice industry in gen eral was written by Mr. c. w. Moore of Houston, Texas, a vet eran rice grower and canal op- orator. It is very interesting:
 RICE CULTURE.
 The manner of cultivation changes with conditions and soil. The seed is usually sown with a seed driller in April and May. In wet culture the fields are flooded and plowed in water, the rice sown and narrowed in wet, after which water is with drawn and germination ensues.
 Prairie rice lands in Texas have become, within the last ten years, an important feature. Owing to plenty of water, these lands have been very heavy pro- ducers. Gang blows. harrows, seeders, self binders, and differ ent sorts of machinery used in wheat culture in the Northwest are profitably used in the rice fields, and, with the exception of the flooding of the fields, the cul ture and care of the two crops have much in common. The Rice Association collected the expressions of a number of the most prominent rice growers, who agreed, in the main, on the following methods: The rice land is broken with four mule gang blows, reaching about three inches, although two to two and one-half inches is deep enough for sod. Disc and spring tooth harrows are used, and, where necessary, complete pulveriza- tion is secured by the use of smoothing harrow. Should the ground be too hard, water Is turned on to soften it. The stand is found more uniform where the drill is used, although the rice may be sown broadcast. In moist, warm weather, water is not turned On for from four to six weeks, and then care is taken not to cover the tops. An aver age season requires three months flooding.
 The water is withdrawn from the field when the heads begin to turn and rice is passing into the dough- stage. This is usually from ten to fourteen days before the harvest begins.
 Three horses with a modern self binder will hayest from five to twelve acres daily. The same thresher used for oats will thresh rice. When the farmer supplies the hands the thresher will usually charge two and one-half cents per bushel. In threshing from the shock something like seventeen men are required. Little fertilizer has been used thus far in rice culture, some claiming that after several years of rice growing land shows no deterioration.
 METHOD.
 While scores of people through out the length and breadth of our State and the United States hear of rice culture, and read of the great profits and plenty it pours into the laps of the fortu- nate producers thereof, still these same scores of people are blissful in ignorance regarding the mode, methods and general details of this "king of all crops.
 LANDS.
 The first essential in the culti- yation of all crops is selecting land suitable to the growing of the crops you desire to cultivate. In rice farming the lands must have a nearly level surface, so +Lo+ +l o xrofor xri11 stand ovorlxY
