who runs the cotton gin now.
 In the spring of 1897 1 planted
 three acres of rice on my farm
 N. w. IA sec 8, 1 N. 7 w. on the prairie and 1 partly watered it
 with my little plant. Some of the rice grew and headed out and did well until 1 pulled my pump to pieces then I gave it up for that year. 1 bought my seed one bushel, from Jack Noble who lives south of Seeton, for two dol lars the rest I bought of l. H Thompson, of Crowley, Louisi- ana.
 Rice had been rice raised in the timber country for several years, l learned about this time, by Eli Moses and Jack Noble. but while this crop was failure it was the beginning of rice culture on the prarie of Lonoke County, Arkansas, This little plant cost me nearly four hundrel dollars. The industry of rice has sprung from that.
 In 1898 I moved to Louisiana and engaged in rice culture for four seasons. 1 learned to raise rice, put down the wells, and how to manage it thoroughly. While 1 was away Bro. Johnson Morris informed me that they had organized a company here to raise rlce and wanted me to take stock. 1 refused. 1 was up here in the winter after the com pany had failed and Bro. John Morris said he was going to raise rice the next year. 1 gave him fifty dollars to help him in the experiment, which they never gave me credit for, that being the year he raised the five acres, I having fifty dollars in it which should have covered about two fifths of the expense.
 It is mistake of my being here and seeing that crop as published by B L Morris, M E Morris and Mrs. E Morris in the Arkansas State Rice Journal September 15, 1909. As I was not here that year, therefore 1 did not SOW my first crop in 1903. Sowed it in 1901, also a mistake as to the beginning of rice culture. The small plant in 1897 was the beginning. As for gathering information from Bro. John Morris, as stated in the Journal. I did not need any. It was the other way. The fall of 1903 I returned to Lonoke county for the purpose of put ting down some rice wells, the business being dead, nobody wanted wells. 1 went across the country to Carlisle and J $

THE TRUE STORY
W. H. Fuller Issues Statement Re garding the First Rice Grown
 on Grand Prairie.

There has been much specula- tion as to who raised the first rice on Grand Prairie and also where it was grown. Many towns claim to be the real it" in the whole matter and are not willing to sharethe honor with any town, community or individual. For this reason Mr. Fuller has issued the following statement and we publish it as it was writ ten by him in his own language, a certified copy of which can be seen on file in the court house at Lonoke.

Savage took me to Hazen. We called a meeting of the business men of Hazen. John Sims said 1, w H Fuller, was the man to raise rice. The good people of Hazen, Carlisle and vicinities. gave me one thousand dollars to raise a crop of rice in 1904 Such crop not less than thirty five bushels per acre on seventy acres. If 1 did not succeed that year l was to have the year 1905. If 1 failed I was to receive noth- ing. 1 went back to Louisiana, bought well rig, well materials, seed rice and loaded car and came back to Lonoke County, the fall of 1903, In the winter 1903 and 1904 1 put down the well and installed my machinery. I raised or caused to be raised five thousand two hundred and twenty five bushels from seven ty acres of land and I received my one thousand dollars. Thanks to the good people of Hazen and Carlisle vicinities. This crop is what started the rice business here and proved to the people there was profit in raising it. The cost of raising this crop was S3, ,147.50 This amount includ- es putting down the well, buying the machinery and raising the crop. The Morris boys raised some the same year and had raised some before, also the Ex- pertinent Station raised some in 1904 This is correct state ment of the rice industry up to the end of the year 1904.

August 25, 1896, I, w H Full Ter, in company with H H Pur- year, left Lonoke, Arkansas with a wagon and team to go to the Gulf of Mexico through Lou siana. When we got in about 8 miles of Crowley, Louisiana we came to the first rice either of us had ever seen growing, on Sept. s 1896, owned and operat- ed by the Abbott Brothers, of Crowley, Louisiana. We stopped there a half day viewing their rice fields and pumping plant. From there we went to Crowley, Louisiana, stayed at night with l. H Thompson and remained there one day and a half, and visited with w w Dusen, a rice planter, going over his place, get ting all the information I could. 1 found the circumstances for raising rice there about the same as would be here. It convinced me that we had a good rice coun- try if we had the water. At that time there were no wells there, but they were talking of making them which gave me the idea of making wells here.
 We went as near to the Gulf as we could drive a team for the marshes. Hewitt went hunting there Sept, 12. We started home and arrived here on Sept. 30, at II A. M., having travelled one thousand miles in wagon. This is where the first idea came from, of growing rice in Arkan- sas. I talked to the people of the rice and the prospect of growing it here. This same fall 1896, I prepared to experiment with rice. 1 put down two four inch wells to pump with double crank drum. I bought my ma chinery of Will Daniels of Lonoke

 The Department is not inn mediately concerned in elaborate road improvements, but is in the interest of the best service to the largest number of patrons it must insist upon roads being kept in repair. the lack of which is usually due to improper drain age, and unsuitable grading and surface work, which can be easi- ly and cheaply accomplished by timely work and the regular use of the split-log drag or similar devices.
