THE RICE CROP
K. ports on Crop--Out looH Increase Yeild Pro-
 missed

Beaumont, Tex, July 20. - Warm weather, with occasional local shower, has been favorable for the growing rice crop, which lis now in fine condition in all parts of the belt, especially when the character of the weather earlier in the season is considered. The crop is four or five weeks late, but the stands are generally good. and the out look for a fair yield per acre is favorable.
 The acreage on the Mississippi river appears to be larger than was expected two months ago, when the high water had ap- parently all but wiped out the river crops. Planting, which is generally finished on the river in May, this year continued into July. As soon as the water had receded rice was "muddied in, z and this year perhaps 10000 or E50, 900 acres were planted. There was a small acreage that had been planted before the flood and was not hurt by 1t. Conservative predictions place the probable yield on the rivers around half a million bags, in- stead of around a quarter of a million, as predicted two months ago.
 In Southwest Louisiana there lis a small amount of seasonably planted rice, but most of the planting is late. Even the very late rice is doing well, and the entire acreage may be said to be close to the average in point of condition. In Texas east of Houston the acreage is about normal, but west of Houston. there is an increase. In Ark ansas there is an increase that will probably fall short of 10 per cent. The out look is that there Is a slight net increase in the en- tire belt, which may be offset by the lateness of the planting. Forecasters estimate that if the balance of the growing season and the harvest are average the yield will be larger than that of last year.
