RICE STATISTICS TO BE COMPILED.
Louisiana Rice Growers Association
to Hold an Important Meeting at
Crowley July 10 to Compile
Statistics.

An important meeting Of the Louis
lana Rice Growers association will
be held in Crowley Saturday, July 10.
While much business will doubtless
come before this meeting that will be
OF value to the rice growers, as we'll as
the rice belt in general, the most i'm
portant business of the meeting will
be the compilation Of rice statistics,
showing the amount Of rice planted in
the several rice parishes Of the state
and the present condition of the same
At the last meeting of the asSOcia-
ton President Gabbert appointed
statisticians in the several wards of
| the three rice parishes OF the state.
The statisticians thus appointed, we're
authorized to select whatever assist
ants they might need, from members
of the association and prepare their
work and present same to the presi-
dent of their respective parishes, who
in turn would make a report to the
State President.
| 1t is probable that these statistics
will not be given out at the presen
time and it is expected that later
canvass will be made.
Statistics will be gathered in a sim
! liar manner in Texas, aud the COM
bined report will give the most accur-
ate statement of rice acreage that it
will be possible to obtain.
This move on the part of the asSO-
citation, is made necessary, in a large
measure, by the inaccuracies of the
reports that have been pnt out by the
government statisticians during the
past few years, which have had u
tendency to depress the market value
Of the crop by greatly overestimating
the acreage.

WELSH CELEBRATED,
Everybody Happy and All Enjoyed a
Day of PatriotiSm, Fun and Fr0Iic.

The Fourth of July celebration,
held here on the third, was q complete
success, and is but another demon
stration of the fact that when the busi-
ness men OF Welsh set their heads to
do a thing, that thing is as good as
done.
The morning sun had scarcely shown
his shining face above the horizon, a
harbinger of perfect day, before
people from all directions, began
filling the streets of the city. BY the
time the Brotherhood band of Lake
Charles, had appeared on the scene
the business part of town was filed
with pleasure seekers, The band con-
tributed number Of popular selec-
tons while the crowd was getting
lined up, after which the march to the
park was begun, headed by the auto
mobile section Of the parade.
The grounds, which are an ideal
place for such an event, being covered
in part by splendid live cakes, which
furnish abundant shade, were gaiy
decorated with flags and bunting, and
presented a true gala day appearance.
At II o'clock Mayor A, T. Jones, in
few we'll chosen remarks. introduced
the speakers of the day, Mr.. Knox Of
Lake Charles, and Hon. Chas. +.
Buck of New Orleans. The speaking
was far above what is generally heard
upon such occasions, as was demon
strated by the fact the speakers had
perfect control over their audience un-
til the end.
Mr.. Knox recounted the significance
of the day and what its celebration
stands for to the people OF this nation
He appealed to the people to stand
for liberty against the oppression Of
the money power Of the east and north.
Hon. Chas. +. Buck was then intro
duced and delivered most eloquent
and pleasing address in which he
paid high tribute, not only to the
signers Of the declaration of indie
pendence, but to the people of France
with whom the idea of liberty first
originated. Among other interesting
statements made by Mr. Buck, was
the one, that there is not nation on
earth today that is not being
more or less influenced by the move
ment for liberty that had its birth in
this country.
The sports of the day were carried
out according TO schedule, with SUI
fcient entries in all to make them in
teresting.
Two ball @ames were played, one in
the morning and one IN the afternoon,
which proved of interest to lovers of
the game.
Perhaps the best part of the cele-
bration was the fact that no one was
hurt, nor were there any DRINKS on
the ground, and everybody left feel
ing that they had had a good time.

Narrow Escape From Fire Saturday
Night,

A dangerous cOntlagratiuA in the
business section of Welsh was mar
rowly ayerted Saturday utght, and
should be the lesson thut extreme
caution is the only price OF safety,
especially during this extremely dry
season
Several of the boys were sending
up hot air balloons, one of which
seemed too heavy to carry we'll and
after raising to the height of thirty or
forty feet, gradually settled until the
burning mass rested upon the top of
the Masonic hall. Fortunately the
incline of the roof and the slight
breeze that was blowing at the time,
prevented its remaining in one place
long enough to ignite the shingles, else
fire that would have been difficult to
reach would have been started. After
a few moments the frey mass rolled
off the roof and fell to the ground and
was extin uished.
During this extremely dry weather
when the water supply is very scarce,
and everything is as dry as finder,
too much care cannot be taken in re-
gard to fire. A single spark may
cause contagration that would do
immense damage The great Chicago
fire that caused a loss of millions of
dollars and rendered thousands home
less, was caused by as small a thing
as lantern being kicked over by q
cow in the residence portion of the
city.

Rough Rice C0mputer.

Col. Walter D. Bettes, we'll known
rice man of Orange, Texas, is the
author of a very handy little book on
computing the price of rice when the
number of pounds are given, without
taking the trouble to reduce the pounds
to barrels as is US" 'ly done. This
booklet contains tabs showing the
value of rice per pound. at any given
price per barrel, from 1925 to SO %,
including half cents. as sl.25t per
barrel. Ia order to find the value OF
any given number Of pounds OF rice,
it is only necessary to turn to the ia
BILE, find the value per pound, multi
ply the number of pounds by it and
point off six places, when YOU have
the value of the rice. This little book
will be of material value to farmers
and rice men in general, as it will
greatly simplify the process of com
putting prices of rice.
