This sample vas taken from the

MI Way cultivated rice ia the
Crowley section for many years,
but he IS of the opinion that con

far superior to those Of ID e
Crowley section.
II the first place, said III.
Way, the canals in the Crowley
distr ct are not to be relied upon.
When the water gets low, they
pump salt water on you. nd
there your crop is ruined. And
then the land there is about worn
out. They will not last more
than Eve years. On the other
hand believe that this soil will
never deteriorate;; on the contra

posit from the Schell canal which
comes with the water will inn
prove the land every year.

applications from acquaintance

Mr. Bruner took the oath of

acceptably ever since.
But he made Miehei speeches
during the last campaign.
l9r Percy {. Ogden, himself
an excellent young man, and j
bright lawyer, made Hall speech
es during the same campaign.
Results: When the senate
met Gov Hall did not send AR.
