but up to the present time their efforts
have been unavailing.
The board of supervisors of Alexandria
county had hoped that this measure
would pass at this session. 1t was intro
duced by Senator II. Ewell Thornton of

CADRON Land
GROWS fine RICE
M. C. TURNER EXPERIMENT.
ING ON SMALL PATCH
NEAR GLEASON.

From, Tuesdays Daily.
M. C. Turner, who has charge of
the waterworks pumping station on
the Cadron near Gleason, was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Turner has been
experimenting with rice culture on a
small patch of ground near the
pumping station, and states that his
rice bids fair to make a bumper crop.
The plants are now waist-high and
look as if they will be loaded with
rice. Mr.. Turner states that since
the plants were a few weeks old he
has kept them constantly flooded with
about six inches of water. One eff
feet of this flooding is to kill off all
other vegetation, such as grass and
weeds, thus permitting the rice to alb
sorb the full strength of the SOIL
Mr.. Turner, who is familiar with
the lands throughout the Cadron bot
toms, says there are thousands of
acres of land in Faulkner county that
are doubtless well adapted to the
raising of rice.
