Corn Should Be Mature For silass.

It has been found that the use of
immature plants for silage does not
produce the best feed, because Of the
silage developing too much acid and
not containing enough of the starch
and sugars. Care must also be TAX n
to harvest the corn before 1t is over.
ripe for the reason that 1t is apt to
be too dry to make succulent, appe-
tizing and well-keepIng silage. If the
corn does get overripe or frosted, wa
ter must be supplied while the silo is
being filed. 1t is also fact that the
crop which yields the largest amount
of grain makes the best silage. Hence
corn grown for the silo should not
be sown thicker than that sown for
grain alone.

Philadelphia, March 26. Book CT T. Washington, the negro edu- cator who was attacked and beaten up in New York City last Sunday night after it had been charged he was prowling around the hallway of 16la West Sixty third street, and for which al- legged attack Edward Ulrich. a resident of the apartment house, has waived preliminary hear ing, today emphatically declared that he believed Ulrich was jus tlfied in attacking him under the circumstances.
 After making this admission, Washington intimated that all future proceedings against Ul- rich would be stopped, but de- clared this was a matter to which hls lawyers would attend and he could not be sure they would al- low him to retire from the prose- cution.

RICE CROP CONDITIONS.
An Upward and Better Tendency Among the
 Rice Growers.

Crowley, La, Mar. 31. The Rice Journal & Southern Farmer will say in its April summary ot the rice situation:
 The first day of April finds the average rice planter from one to three weeks further advanced than usual in his preparations for the new crop, more than the average amount of planting done fyr this season; better soil prepa- ration than ever before; the mar ket beginning to show signs of roue 91 activity after a long s-...sll srall, and finally, new fac 4to the rice situation which may lead to an early realignment in the distributing end of the in- dustry.
 A large number of letters re- ceived from all parts of the rice belt show that usual activity in preparations for the crop has prevailed. The weather thus far has been unusually favorable for farm work, the winter hav- ing been dry, but not too dry for plclAAg. A large amount of fall blowing was done, fall blowing having been growing in favor in recent years. Dry weather threatened to interfere with planting and blowing in the early part of March, but shortly after the middle of the month general rains throughout the gulf coast, extending into Arkansas, left the soil in fine condition, and since that time work has gone forward s rapidly.
 '*44 yVe11iS Y ID too Cdiiy Co lOI CSdSl acreage probabilities with any degree of safety, there are cer- tain indications that give some line on the comparative acreage that will be planted in the var ious sections of the rice belt. The well informed estimate the Arkansas increase all they way from ten to twenty-five per cent. In the older sections of Arkansas some of the old land will be laid out and new land brought in. keeping up the average. while in

the farmers organization This association has been at work se- curing contracts with farmers for the sale of rough rice, and it is stated authoratively that they have large percentage of the rough under contract for next season. The Louisiana State Rice Company organized by the strongest of the Louisiana coun- try mills, will buy clean rice and sell it through one channel. It's main office will be in New Orleans and it's members handle about one third of the crop. It is expected that this company will prove a powerful factor in lending stability to the clean rice market.
 The Rice Association of Amer ica continues to do effective work in advertising rice with the small funds at its command. Manag- CT Gueydan has in preparation a statement based on correspond ence with grocery houses, show ing that he can distribute thro these houses direct to consumers not less than ten million cook books showing the food value and cheapness of rice as food.
 The rice market, which has been very dull since January-took turn for the better during the last week in March. Inquiry is stronger and the trade is com ing closer to the ideas of millers as to price. A good movement is expected during April.
 There has been some move ment of American rice to Europe and the West Indies, at prices equal to the domestic market. This has been made possible by the high prices of rice on the European market due to crop failures in the Orient.
 There is quite an increase in the rice acreage n the Brinkley dis trict and there is no one who does mt look for something good lin the coming seasons crop. The conditions that have been bearing down prices were not reasonable. Every one has known, that it was due to the combine, that the prices have been forced down.
 At Goodwin, ten miles east of Brinkley. J. T. Oval has put in 70 acres more of rice than he did last year, when he had in 150 acres. The 70 acres increase is going in, on cut over land. Engineer Staggs of Brinkley rleveled up for him.
 There is a slight change in the old firm of Hopkins, Arnold and Smith, to the South East of Brinkley The firm is now Hop kins, Smith and Williams. They will have in 800 acres again this season. They are doing consid- erable draing now.
 A. Boysen, the veteran and pioneer rice man is putting in an other farm, this season, and a competent young farmer, MT. Powell is tending it. They have just finished a new we'll which Mir. Boysen put in him self, Feister being his driller. There are 90 acres in this tract.
 The talk about Hunter going to have rice mill is adout to assume real proportions. Sev- eral capitalists have been there, within the last week, and a site N has been selected for the Mill.
 Surely if there is point in the South that is more inviting, than any other, for the location of a big rice mill and ware house thas point is Brinkley. The time will be when we will have it, but

after seven days from it's occur ence, " said Washington, T be- lieve MT. Ulrich was justified in attacking not only me, but any other man under similar cir cumstances. 1 was in the hall of the house and was peering at the nameplates on the doors in an effort to find one of my busi- ness acquaintances.
 Nor CORDIALLY RECEIVED.
 After the charges had been brought l learned that Ulrich had daughter and that several efforts had been made to kidnap her. There seems to be little doubt but that Ulrich thought I might be a kidnapper. If he did, he was perfectly justified in attacking me. No man could have done otherwise under the circumstances. 1 have no per sonal feeling against MT. Ulrich. To my mind he did the manly thing.
 But will you continue the prosecution?" Washington was asked.
 That is something 1 cannot answer The whole matter is in

the newer rlce QlSCrlcCS cOnSlQer-
 able new land will be brought in. There will, however, be nothing like the increase of last year.
 It is safe to say that there will
 be a reduction of the rice acre age on the river. In the Lake
 Providence region the decrease
 will be heavy, and around Don- aldson it will probably reach l thirty per cent. This decrease is due mainly to the unsatisfac- tory prices.
 ] In Southwest Louisiana several influences conspire to bring about a small acreage increase over last year. The canal companies have made more favorable pro- vision for water rent; the Kaplan interests interests in Vermillion are throwing open large area of new land to irrigation by a twenty-five mile extension of their canals; the Schell Canal in St. Landry parish will add around 5000 acres of new rice land, and the generally better financial condition of rice farm CTS will make them better able to plant this year without asking for advances. This latter factor will have a strong bearing on acreage in Acadia, Calcasieu and Vermilion, where farmers have done reasonably well, in spite of low prices, by better methods of farming.
 The indications in Texas point to about the same acreage as last year, with a possibility of a slight decrease, due to low prices and water conditions that will discourage a few farmers from planting in some sections. Gen. erally speaking, the same con- ditions prevail in Louisiana and Texas, except in Texas there :are no new canal companies opening land.
 The Southern Rice Growers Association last month effected the heaviest transaction in rough rice in the history of the industry in the sale of a quarter of a mil lion sacks of Japan at the Asso- citation figure, practically clean ing up the Japan market. This sale was important, in that 1t demonstrated the effectiveness of the Southern Rice Growers Association and the methods of

The 1911 rice crop Tn the Brink ley territory promises to be the greatest by far in the entire his tory of rice planting. An in creased acreage is being put in and thousands of dollars are in- vested in rice culture in the Brinkley cut over land rice grow ing territory. Within radius of l2 miles of Brinkley there were nearly l2,000 acres of rice land put in which makes Brink ley the greatest rice center or hub in all Arkansas.
