PRESERVE THE
OYSTER BEDS
THE APALAcHICOLA OYSTERMEN
ADOPT PLAN THAT WOULD BE
EQUALLY GOOD IN PENSACOLA
WATERS-SHELLS SHOULD BE
PUT BACK IN WATER,

The following from the Apalachicola
Times contains a plan for the preser-
walton and extension of the oyster
beds that might be adopted by Pensa-
cola oystermen as well as those OF
Apalachicola. The Times says:
Mr.. A. J. Zingarelli is at the head
OF a movement to have all the men
who catch oysters to contribute from
their earnings % cents a week to be
used at the end of the season in the
distribution of shells on the various
bars in the bay. Mr.. Zingarelli is now
circulating this paper among the oys-
termen. 1t is thought that by the
close of the season a neat sum OF
money will be on hand for the shell
dlstri button work. Contrl buttons are
to be received by check only and paid
cut by check and the report of replen-
ishing the bars with shells will Je
printed in The Times from week to
week as the work progresses. All
monies will be deposited in the banks.
All citizens are requested to con-
tribute to the general fund We are
all interested, for the oyster bars OF
Apalachicola bay contribute largely to
the towns prosperity.

NTTzzHONE

produced more than three-fourths
But the industry in these states was
wrecked by the war and changed labor
conditions, lack of necessary capital,
and other causes have since prevented
it's full restoration. From 1865 to
1880 inclusive, the annual production
of the three states averaged a little
less than 41,O0O,O pounds, Of which
South Carolina produced more than
one half.
Question Of Labor.
"Coincident with the breaking out
of the civil war began the develop
ment of the rice industry in Louis
lana. For a number of years the
product was small, but during the
seventies the industry began to as
sumo large proportions, averaging
nearly 100000 pounds for the de-
cade and exceeding 81 100000 pounds
in 1880. In 1885 the production OF
rice in Louisiana reached 100000, 900
pounds. and in 1892 1S2,000,0O0
pounds; but these were years of ex-
ceptionally large crops.
THE expense of labor in the fielss
is one of importance to the rice
planter. While American labor is the
highest paid in the world, it is also
the most effective. The great varia.
lions in wages and in the area which
can be cultivated by the laborer show
large degree of difference.
I'm Japan the farm wage paid per
day with board is from 10 to 20 cents;
China. 8 to Is, Philippines % to 80
ents, Indian to 10. Siam, ) to 10,
Egypt 20 to 80. Italy 80 to so, Spain
30 to so. South Carolina so to 80,
Arkansas 81 to $1.25, southwestern
Louisiana and Texas $3.50 to $2
'The yield of rice varies with con-
ditions of soil and climate and
methods of culture. The commercial
standard weight of rough rice is
forty-five pounds to the bushei. In
South Carolina and Georgia the aver
age yield is given as from s to IL
barrels. Good lands properly man.
aged will give a considerably larger
yield. In Louisiana it ranges from
eight to eighteen barrels per acre.
Future Of Rice Culture.
'Tn a report made by the planters
to the Savannah Rice Association in
1882, the average yield to the acre
was placed at thirty bushels, and the
annual cost of cultivation, including
interest on the land, at $35 per acre.
The outlook for the future extern
sion of rice culture is very promising
According to the best estimates there
are about 100000 acres of land in
the five states bordering on the Gulf
of Mexico we'll suited to rice cultiva-
ton. The amount which can be sue
cessfully irrigated by present methods
using the available surface and arte-
sian flows, does not exceed 100000
acres. The balance of the land could
probably be brought in cultivation
were it necessary. but the cost would,
perhaps, be prohibitive at present
prices. Three million acres is a con-
sentative estimate of the area which

FLETCHER SAW
DREDGING WORK
MADE TRIP OF INSPECTION DOWN
OCKLAWAHA RIVER AND FOUND
GREAT POSSIBILITIES THERE
FOR INLAND WATERWAYS PRO-
JECT.

The citizens in and around Lees
burg are very active in the cause of
water trans pOrtation. At a meeting
which was held there last week sew
eral noted speakers were present and
the situation which prevails there
was looked into. The people of that
locality are very anxious to get the
government to push theAwork of
digging and cleaning out Ocklawaha
river and in other ways improving
the water shipping facilities of that
section Of the country.
The Mississippi to Atlantic Water
way Association is much interested in
the work, as this is one of the pro-
posed places where a canal can be
dug across the state connecting the
Atlantic and the gulf. The trouble
that has arisen in Carrying out the
work of Strengthening out the river
caused Capt. G. R. Spalding to make
trip of inspection in that section last
week
In speaking of the matter. United
States Senator Duncan L, Fletcher,
who returned from the trip last week,
said to a Jacksonville Metropolis rep
resentative: People from Okahump-
ka, Montclair, Bamboo, Tavares and
other towns around Leesburg, were
present and took part in the meeting.
They are very anxious to have the
government push the work and bring
it to a final termination.
The work that has been going on
in the OcklaWaha river has met with
many difficulties, one of which was
the fact that whenever a log or SCOOP
of sand was removed from the river
it lowered the water in the surround
ing lakes. This became serious
matter, as the lakes are of great
benefit to put in locks to keep cmfw
benefit to the community. It will be
necessary to put in locks to keep the
canal from draining the lake. but as

JAPAN AND SOUTH CAROLINA
NOW HOLD THE PALM FOR
FURNISHING MORE RICE TO
THE WORLD THAN ANY OTHER
ogcTioNs-soME INTERESTING
DATA.

A special from Washington says
Or. 8. A. Knapp. of the department
Of agriculture, has stated that South
Carolina and japan were leading the
world in the production Of rice and
that Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, louisiana, Texas and Arkan-
sas were also doing much to bring up
the aggregate Of the years produc-
ton.
Rice forms the principal food for
one-half the population OF the EARTH"
said DR.. Knapp. 1T Is more widely
and densely used as a food material
than any other cereal. Where dense
populations are dependent for food
upon an annual crop. and the climate
permits it's cultivation, rice has been
selected as the staple food. South
Carolina and japan are rich in fats,
and hence are ranged high In flavor
and nutriment among relocating ma
lions. A botanical catalogue enumer-
ates 161 varieties found in Ceylon
alone, while In Japan, China and In
dia, where It's cultivation has gone on
for centuries, and where great care is
taken in the improvement Of varieties
by the selection OF seed, no less than
400 varieties are said to exist.
Rice Production.
During the year 1909 the following
was the production of rice in the
United States: North Carolina, 49,
900 bushels; South Carolina. 476,O00;
Georgia, 100000; Florida, $4,000: Ala
bama, $4,000; Mississippi, 100000;
Louisiana, 12,675.000; Texas, 1884,
900; Arkansas, 100000. The total
production of these nine states Is
equivalent to about 66S,9O1 900 pounds
Of cleaned rice.
Rice production in the United
States Is limited to the South Allan
tic and Gulf States, where, in some
sections. It is the principal cereal pro-
duct. For nearly 100 years after the
Introduction of rice into the United
States, South Carolina and Georgia
produced the principal portion, while
North Carolina, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana grew only
limited amount. Within the last ten
years Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas
have increased the area devoted to
rice to such an extent that they now
furnish more than three-fourths Of all
the product of the entire country.
