THE RICE CROP.

There are those who are ap- pearant!y distressed because of the failure of the rice growers to get the same high prices this season that prevailed last. These predict disaster to the rice in- dustry in the Arkansas rice belt because of this.
 The net acreage of the entire rice crop this year is said to be less than it was last year not withstanding that there has been a wonderful increase of acreage in Arkansas.
 The rice mills last year figured on a profit which they didn't get and therefore it is said to be their purpose this year to make back the money lost last year.
 The rice crop has been made at such low cost that promi- nent and responsible rice men claim that 1t can be sold at a handsome profit at even 50 cents per bushel fit had t3 be cone but tlis is not expected for there is no reason for it. It is sure that UT tied action on the part of the rice growers is imperative at this time.

A meeting has been called by President Wm. B. Gabbert, of the Louisiana Rice Farmers As sociation. with this object in view, the meeting to be held at Crowley, La, next Wednesday, Oct. 18th at 1 o'clock, and the call specificly states that it is for the purpose of taking steps to organize 9 holding movement and to protect the interests of the producers of rice. The call winds up as follows:
 'Tne reason that the rice mar ket is dead is that the specula- tors have drigen the legitimate traders out of the market and have frightened the distributors in the secondary markets. Un- less some action is taken to restore confderce present con- ditions may continue indefinitely.
 The visible suppl of rice is smaller than 1t was last year at this time, wlil3 the cors slmptive demand is larger. With legiti mate trading this crop should be handled on a satisfactory basis of value.
 The first stsp is to get the producing end of the country together and to find the best course to be tale!. If it is decided that TO igh rice should be taken off the market except at 8 ike minimum price, until the rice now in i e { ands of the mills l. put into consumption, that course should be adopted and the entir9 country should stand togethe in putting it into effect.
 We must act independent of New Orleans. The spectators of New Orleans are responsible for the demoralization now exist ing and no help can be expected from them.
 Attend the Crowley meeting next Wednesday and help to shape the policy that is to be adopted.
