The Rice Journal and South
ern Farmer will say in it's Feb
ruary review of the rice situa-
ton:
An unusually large movement
of rice for the months of Deem
Der and January, apparently
large increase of consumption,
the success of the Southern Rice
Growers Association in main
tanning prices for rough rice
and a better feeling gener ally,
both in trade and among rice
producers, mark the present sit
uation.
The December clean move
ment was the largest in the his
tory of the American rice trade,
and the January movement was
heavy. Prices have been rea-:
sonably steady and clean and
rough prices have held firm at
the minimums of the Southern
R Growers Association.
Early in January, at a time when
the market is generally dull, the
movement in clean was unusu-
ally strong and prices, based on
rough at $2.75 a barrel in the in
terror, were we'll sustained.
Many purchases of rough were
made above the association mini
NUNS, notably in New Orleans.
In the country as high as $500
was paid for milling grades,
while in New Orleans as high as
1886 was paid for milling rice.
The market was quoted down
in the last few days but millers
generally are holding clean firm
ly, for the reason that rough
stocks are practically unprocura-
Bile below the prices qnoted by
the Southern Rice Growers As
Millers appear dis
to stay out of the market
until demand resumes on the
level asked.
The Southern Rice Growers
Association, which started sell
on January 4th, has consist
emily sold at its quotation or
above them. Figures as to
amount of rough sold by the as
ISOLATION have not been made
public, but the association is
nearly sold out in Southwest

THE A
Now that sweaters have be-
come a staple article of dress and
are custom made" says Helen
Marvin, big improvements have
developed in their cut IF one
may so speak of garments built
up of stitches) and consequently
they have a grace and shapeli-
ness unknown to sweaters of
former seasons.
In the new sweaters any
stretching of the shoulder seam
is avoided by a length Of strong
tape, one end Of which is seWed
to the armhole, the other end to
the edge of the neck. This tape
simply forces the shoulder to
keep it's shape.
Seams no longer are over
handed together with the yarn
of which the sweater is made,
but are closely stitched with cot
ton or silk which will never
stretch. An excellent idea is to
bind the seams with an extra
strong cotton tape that is ma
chine-stitched in place"

) The Rice Situation 2
sHeueneueuOue uoHomOnouoOS

! Correspondents of the Rice
Journal throughout Texas, Lou
isiana and Arkansas write that
farmers who have not signed the
association contract are waiting
to see what effect the movement
will have on this years market.
Rice millers say that the unu-
sually large sales of clean to date,
with the comparatively small
stocks on hand in both primary
and secondary markets, indicate
a record breaking consumption,
It is predicted that the Porto
Rican consumption will reach
/, 200, 900 pockets this year, an
increase of twenty per cent, and
that the domestic consumption
will increase in about the same
ratio.
The Rice Journals correspon-
dents report that blowing is gen
orally well advanced. That is
particularly the case in Arkansas.
where fully three-fourths of the
blowing has been done. The in
dications now are that Arkansas
will not have as large a percent
age of increase as last year. Con-
sentative estimators agree that,
judging by the preparations for
irrigation the increase will hardly
run over twenty per cent at the
outside.
Flowing in Southwest Louis
lana and Texas is well advanced,
although in some sections farm
ers are waiting to see what
course the spring market will
take before undertaking planting
preparations. Indications point
to acreage reduction in some Sec
tons of the gulf coast where the
crop was short in 1910 and a
acreage elsewhere A
reduction on the river ap-
pears probable. Reports from
the Atlantic coast indicate acre
age reduction. So far as may be
judged from planting prepare
lions at this time, the net acre
age in 1911 is likely to fall short
Of that of 1910.
In all parts of the rice belt
Earmers are turning to otherE
srOps. More corn and potatoes
are being planted and more live
stock is being raised Intensive
cultivation is receiving more at
:ention than ever before and the
is toward fewer acres
ind a greater and better yield.
