"A TREATISE ON
RICE CULTURE
PREPARATION OF SOIL AND
GROWING OF CROP.

Professor of Agricultural Education
at University of Arkansas Gives
Information of Statewide
Interest.

There are thousands of acres of
land in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas that

Of the warm climate, the level char
acter of the soil and abundance of
water for irrigation, IS adapted to
rice growing. This cereal within
recent years has become one of our
most important crops, and doubt
less will receive more consideration
when its economic importance is
fully appreciated.
Rice can be grown on many
kinds of soils where the climate is
warm, moist and there is sufficient
water for irrigation. 1t thrives
best on a medium loan with about
30 per cent clay. 1t should con-
tain enough humus to stimulate the
best growth and at the same time
be fine and compact enough to re-
tain irrigation water which is es-
sential for rice plants. The level,
retentive prairie soils of Arkansas,
Texas and Louisiana are excellent
rice soils, since, in most cases, they
are underlaid by a tenacious clay
or impervious sub-soil which re-
tains water, and soon becomes firm
enough to support team and bind
er when the fields are drained.
Abundance of fresh water for IT.
rigation in rice growing is impera-
lively necessary. Although "provi-
aence" or Highland" rice can be
grown in localities of abundant
,ainfall, without irrigation, it is
