That New Restaurant

Last Monday we had the pleasure
of paying short call on the new res
taurant man, MIR. o. Hartel located
in the basement of the new drug store
where we found everything in apple
pie order, the restaurant and eating
rooms furnished with ample lighting
facilities. The cooking is all done by
a gas heater and to cat it short, we
in behalf of the proprietor extend a
cordial invite to all to call, try the
cooking. You'll never regret it.

Another details the cost of installing
irrigation plants and the cost of opera
ton. This is a very important mat
ter and to be well considered by the
early contemplating rice growing. In
this bulletin, eighteen plants in Louisiana
and Arkansas have been taken up and
fully described, giving the average cost
per acre for installation and the average
cost for operation. A limited number
of copies have been secured and will be
sent on application by interested parties.
Rice undoubtedly offers a promising
field for the man with bottom lands with
clay subsoil who desires to diversity
and head off the weevil. 1t has and is
proving a safe and profitable crop in
Louisiana and Arkansas, under condi-
tions similar to those existing in por-
tions of Mississippi. Several experiments
are being made in the state and the re
suit will be ready in short while. The
following extract from letter written
by prominent rice grower of Louisiana
to Hon. Writ Adams, is given by per-
mission and conveys some idea of the
crop and the profit derived:

CART, Ark. As my sacks contained about
one and one-fffth barrels each, you can
see that the gross yield is about $500
per acre fob. cars. The situation here
generally is about the same. The planters
who put in rice are all going to make
money. Some of the smaller rice crops
are showing up even better. Mr.. ]. H.
Cooper has finished his crop of Honduras
rice on 800 acres and reports a yield Of
1852 bags to the acre average. The
plant he put in was small and in.
expensive one, and he told me that his
profit above all expenses for plant, prepa-
ration, ETC., this is his first year, would
be about SIS per acre. I notice that

all wrong. We can raise rice here cheap
er than they can in Southwest Louisiana
because we use more machinery in the
harvesting. Of course our labor is en-
tirely green and has to be educated to
the new farming, but there is nothing
technical about it and the labor soon
learns and likes the new method of farm
ing"
Additional information with reference
to rice will be published from time to
time as it can be secured. Indications
are that it is destined to become an inn
portant crop for Mississippi during the
next few years. 1t will of course be
confined to the larger plantation on ac-
count of the necessary expense of build
ing and operating irrigation plants
Much of the land in our state is similar
to that in Louisiana and Arkansas, and
the experience of those states can be
relied upon.
Exchange Cotton Seed For Meal.
One ton of meal equal to two tons of
seed for fertilizers, or one and one-half
tons for feeding.
Please tell me how much meal should
get in exchange for a ton of cotton seed.
Also, how much hulls and oil will ton
of seed producer Z. H.
Editorial Answer: Approximately one
pound of cotton seed meal is worth as
much-contains as much plant food--for
fertilizer as two pounds of cotton seed.
For feed, one pound of meal is worth
one and one-half pounds of seed, and
furthermore larger quantity of meal
than of seed can be fed At least, full
ration of seed cannot be fed and the
comparative value above obtained from
them
1t therefore follows that if seed are
to be exchanged for meal, to use as fer
tilizer, the farmer should receive for one
ton Of seed enough over 1000 pounds of
meal to pay for hauling the seed to the
mill and the meal back to the farm.
Some may be willing to make the trade
for less meal than 1000 pounds plus
enough to pay for the hauling both ways,
because they prefer to use cotton seed
meal for fertilizer; but others. knowing
that the seed have a certain definite
value, will want from ] 400 to 1000
| pounds Of meal for ton Of seed
