 IRRIGATIONs
 Probably the greatest element in the transformation of the in duStry from a small and insig- lnificant beginning to what is now recognized as one of the leading and best paying industries in the Southern States, may be found in the extensive irrigation that has been established in the last few years. The most sanguine believers in rice culture never expected to see the many mex haustable streams and bayous, with which the prairie regions abound, and which connect the Ia pno ho1ioe Of f,orI .,o4o, 1al-oo and bays lying close to the Gulf Coast, utilized for irrigation pur- poses, on account of the high lift from these streams, which, in many instances, is from twenty to sixty feet. In consequence, thousands upon thousands of acres of rice lands that was SUD- posed to be inaccessible for this purpose have proven to be a "bonanza" to their own CTS. They have, on this ac- count, suddenly developed an in trinsic value that readily places them by the side of the most valued agricultural lands in the United States. The develop ment of rice culture requires considerable preparation, and goes much further than planting and harvesting. In the first place, companies are organized to build canals and put in the pumping machinery. This ne cessitates the outlay of from $50, ,O00 to $300,000, according to the amount of land to be irri- gated.
 RICE CANALS
 are constructed by building two parallel levees over the prairie, one hundred feet apart, and vary ing from three to eight feet in height. These levees are made the same as railroad dumps, ex- cept not so wide, and often ex- tend four to six miles, and are termed main canals. Some canals have as many as six and eight laterals. The engineer, in locating the main canal and later als, selects the highest lands, and hence some canals have many different courses. The object in clinging to the most elevated land is that all land will be be- low the level of the water in the canal. Now, get pictured in your mind these parallel levees of the main canal, and branching off therefrom the lateral canals, all of which penetrate, say, twen ty thousand acres of land. The levees of the main canal begin on the bank of some inexhaust- able stream, or it's tributary, at which point the immense pump ing plant is located. Whenever it becomes known that rice canal is going to penetrate cer- tain territory there is a rush for lands, and by the time the canal is finished houses, are completed and many farmers are engaged in breaking the sod. Two ten gang blows and four large mules do the work. After blowing the disc harrow is needed to cut up the sod, and in April and May the sowing commences, and is done after the manner of wheat, oats and similar grain. The press drill or seeder can be used, but the drill is preferable, for it

THE YIELD.

It is difficult to determine the exact yield of rice, but safe to calculate, however, when an abundance of water is at hand, the average yield will ruin quite seventy bushels per acre. Some farmers greatly exceed this.
