RICE CULTURE IS

Busy Producing the Sta

The rice growth this year in
Craighead county promises to be
greater than anticipated, as every
tract of land devoted to that cereal
is apparently proving a pleasant
surprise to even the owners, says
the Craighead Sun. Mayor Gregg,
one of the leading rice enthusiasts
of Jonesboro, in company with
Henry Houton aremeeting with great
success at their big farm southwest
of the city and the movement for
the rice mill at Welner and visit Of
enthusiastics from other parts as
well as railroad officials, serves to
enliven the rice talk here.
Poinsett county is unusually act
i've and is estimated that 10000
acres in that county are planted in
that staple.
J. B. Probst, of Weiner and
well known in Jonesboro has 500
acres of rice this year, the Oldest
of which was large enough to turn
the water on this week He has
three wells and pumps with a ca
pacity of $500 gollons of water
per minute. He says the rice mill
at Weiner will be started in few
days and will be ready to mill the
present crop of rice. But this mill
will not have the capacity to han
die the rice that will be produced
in the Weiner district this year,
and next year there will be mills at
Harrisburg, Waldenburg and Fish
