RICE FIELDS OF TEXAS.
Japanese Farmers Making Fortunes
Growing Cereal.

Rice threshing has been going on
! in Texas for the last two months and
now is practically finished, says the
Kansas City Star. The crop Is con-
fined to the upper gulf coast region
and is comparatively a new industry.
Il is conservatively estimated that the
rice yield in the state this year is ap-
proximately 100000 sacks. Each
sack contains four bushels. The
United States production of rice last
year was insufficient to meet the
home demand and 100000 sacks
were imported. The Texas crop this
season was unusually good. The yield
upon some of the plantations ran
from fifteen to twenty sacks an acre.
1t is said that the average cost of
production is a little more than 81 a
sack.
The japanese are the most thrifty
rice growers in Texas. The japanese
grower confines his operations to a
comparatively small tract of land.
He cultivates every foot of this land
intensely and makes it yield the
greatest possible return. In the col
onies, japanese laborers are employ
ed. There workers are intelligent
and educated young men who hope to
make their fortune in the United
States in a few years ard then return
to Japan and enjoy it.
While rice growing is the principal
industry the Japanese in Texas, the
Webster and Deepwater colonies raise
various other kinds of products.
These two colonies are typical Japa-
nese communities. 1t is planned by
the local leaders to establish a num-
Der of japanese industries in Texas,
including the manufacture of mats
and tapestry, and the utilization of
rice straw in other ways.
John n. Simpson, of Dallas, is said
to be the largest rice grower in
Texas. He has a farm of 10000 acres
situated in the Matagorda county. He
had 5000 acres of this farm in rice
this season, and the threshing of The
crop recently was finished. The to-
tai yield was upwards of 100000 |
bushels, which was sold for more
than $4,000. Eighteen threshers
worked nearly four weeks to get this
enormous crop out of the straw.
