medium clay loan with re-
l. tentive clay subsoil. This gives
a soil that can be supplied with suf-
ficient humus to give ample fertility
without causing it to be too open to
retain sufficient water. Such lands
are found in many places along the
rivers of the South.
The prairie soils, where water can
be secured, have been found we'll
adapted to rice culture. The buck
shot lands of the Mississippi and Red
River deltas have been found we'll
suited to rice. Lands underlaid with
sands or porous soils. also peaty soils,
can not be used to advantage from
the fact that they will not retain wa
ter sufficiently and the cost of irriga-
ton would consequently be too great.
All lands must be so located that
they may be easily drained when
necessary to take the water off to
prepare the seed bed, or for harvest
ing the crop.
Preparation of Land.
ton differs with lands and conditions.
In very wet soils the blowing is done
just before planting in the spring.
It has been found advisable, however,
to pillow the land where practicable
in the fall then work up by disk and
harrows for seed-bed at planting
time. This fall blowing gives good
preparation, and at the same time
allows the soil to become firm and
more compact and holds more mois-
ture in reserve for sprouting seed
without irrigation at this stage. Some
farmers claim that very shallow
blowing is all that is required, but
actual experience has, with rice like
other crops. shown that good prepa-
h ration pays. Though rice is consid-
cred a wet land plant it is as neces-
sary for it to have fine. we'll aired
seed-bed as for any other cereal crop.
Good drainage alone will give this,
and after flooding season is over it
is especially essential to have the
land we'll drained that the water
may be removed rapidly enough to
allow the quick harvesting of the
crop, and keeping it in good shape,
and to also allow the land to become
aired out and in good condition for
the next crop.

GOVERNOR FOSS
ATTACKS LODGE

BOSTON, Massachusetts, November
21.-The reelection of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, whose term expires on
March 3 next, is to be bitterly con-
tested by Democratic Governor-elect
Foss, who will lead the victorious De-
mocrats and the insurgent Republi-
cans against him.
In an announcement given out yes
terday the Governor elect states that
unless Senator Lodge will issue a
statement, declaring that he is out of
the race for reappointment to the se-
nate, he, Foss, will stump the state
against him and force the legislature
to name another.
Lodge will have been seventeen
years in the senate when his present
term expires, having been elected in
January 1893, while a member of the
house of representatives. He has long
been regarded as one of the leaders of
the senate and l. was expected that
upon him would fall the mantle of
Aldrich as head of the finance com
mirtee.
Colonel Roosevelt is one of the
strongest supporters of Lodge, declar-
ing in speech in this city ou October
22 that the defeat of Lodge would be
national calamity.

the Presidio. The former had one of
her plates on the port bow midway
above the water nne padly stove in.
In addition to receiving a splintered
rail, while the Army Turner's wooden
bow was smashed to kindling wood,
her bowsprit and jibboom snapped off
like pipestems ana all her headgear
carried away.
The collision between the Roanoke
and the Amy Turner occurred at $50
a. m. The steamer was bound In from
San Pedro in command of CAPTAIN
Durham, having on board sixty pas-
sengers. The Amy turner, Captain
w. J. Macleod, in tow of the Asso.
ciated Oil Company's tanker Rose.
Grams, Captain Moore, was lying to on
account of the fog. The oil tanker
was to tow the cement-laden barge
to Portland.
According to the masters of both
vessels they were exercising the pro-
per precautions. Captain Macleod
had lookout on the forecastle. ring
ing the fog bell, the second mate amid
ships and man at the wheel. The
skipper was below when the Roanoke
struck the wooden vessel, and he rush
ed above when he heard the mate
crying that the ship wGs sinking. The
Roanoke struck the Amy Turner a
terrific blow on the port boy, bringing
down the latter's headgear in a litter
of wreckage.
Passengers on the Roanoke leaped
from their berths, rushing to the deck
in wild alarm. Apart from the shock
they could not tell what had occurred
in the obscuring mist, and Captain
Dunham and his officers had great
difficulty in assuring ,hem that there
was no danger. After turning about
to see that no assistance was required
by the Amy Turner, the Roanoke pro-
ceeded to her berth.
