RICE IN ARKANSAS.
Coming to Be One of the Most I'm.
portant of Southern Cereals.

Coming to Be One of the Most I'm
portant of Southern Cereals.
OF all the records of wonderful prog
ress made in the south in the last two
decades, says writer in Kimball's
Dairy Farmer, none is more interest
ing or more Indicative of growth along
right lines than that of successful de
velopment in the ricefields of eastern
Arkansas.
Along the cotton belt route in the
Grand prairie and lesser contiguous
prairies of Arkansas today are the Wis.
ible evidences of new prosperity
more marvellous and more substantial
than any one who knew conditions
there six years ago could have dream
ed of as being possible. This has been
achieved neither by miracle nor mere
chance. 1t has been brought about by
the intelligent use and employment OF
the ordinary means at hand No one
has ever charged that in the diStribu
ton Of so called natural advantages
Arkansas was accorded more than her
share. Many have voiced the belief
that in the general allotment Arkansas
was forgotten. In the light of recent
developments in that state, as else
where it may not be too early to pre-
dict that the time is coming when men
will realize that in their estimate Of
physical or natural assets they have
often made their inventories on false
hypothesis.
Rice, as is well known. cannot be
grown without an abundant water

392 pounds of fat II year The third
bull used was rather inferior and illus
trateS the point at issue. He got eight
producing females that averaged only
225 pounds Of fat Il year This Is n
falling off of l07 pounds per COW II
year. For the eight females this mems
II loss of S5G pounds of butter fat II
year, which ut 10 cents Il pound mems
an annual loss of $342.40 80 long as
these cows are retained
If they are retained five years after
they begin TO produce. which is. per-
haps. the average length of time for
animals of this kind TO breed then
the loss amounts to over $1.700. This
represents the actual loss to the farmer
on account of the use of this particu,
lar sire. The female get of the fourth
sire are nj the present time just be-
ginning TO produce and there Is not
enough data at hand 10 judge accu-
ratrly their average production.
From this illustration ii would seem
that the farmer or dnirymnn in search
of an animal TO head his herd should
be very careful in his choice. He
should moi trust to chance. but should
select mn animal whose ancestors hav"
been uniformly noted for their high
production.

supply. Farmers who have attempted
to raise it have started out with this
knowledge and in facing the problem
squarely have solved it, A rice farm
equipped with wells with sufficient
flow TO flood the ricefieds becomes i'm
mediately a high class corn. truck.
fruit and stock farm. Think what IT
means to have under absolute control
an unceasing supply of pure water
Trenches carry it by gravitation to
any portion of the land. With 1t u
corn crop is helped over temporary
drought. An occasional wetting in
sures a splendid return from the truck
patch, and with water always Mt hand
cows almost double the quantity and
more than double the quality of milk
produced.
But all these are really secondary
considerations with the Arkansas rice
farmer He has his eye on the main
chance. 1t Is to raise rice. which Is
coming to be one of the most impOr'
tant of southern cereals.

much medicinal attention If the patient
is allowed an abundant supply of fresh
air.
Keep the body warm by plenty of
clothing. stimulate the circulation in
the extremities by hand rubbing the
legs, keep the bowels relaxed by the
use of succulent food. If the breath
ing Is labored. apply hot poutice
to the throat and chest, and you will
have gone long way toward prevent
ing any complications from setting in.
If plentiful supply of fresh air is
necessary to maintain horse in good
health 1t will be understood how neces-
sary 1t must be to an animal which is
suffering from any respiratory trouble,
Fresh air is of the utmost Importance
in such cases. The most skillful medi-
cal treatment will be useless without it.
The horse should have good, pure
water to drink. and If his stomach is
deranged 1t is best not to allow him to
drink a very large quantity at one
time. Allow him to drink about half
the amount you think he would take
when in health, then wait awhile and
give more. A large quantity of water
at one time is apt to do more harm
than good.
If the end sought Is apt to be real
lied cleanliness is feature of very
much Importance. Keep the stables
clean at all times, and be careful not
to give any feed that is moldy. dusty
or in any way unfit for the animal TO
eat. Keep everything clean. Filth is
one Of the greatest disease promoters
we have, not only with dumb brutes.
but humans as well.
