MILES OF WILD RICE

Imagine thousands, nay millions OF
acres south OF the DAILY river covered
with rice" wrote the acting admin
istrator of the northern territory of
Australia recently to the acting min
lister of external affairs. Il have gone
through miles and miles of such wild
rice in canoe at the close of the
wet season"
Senator Findley saw the territory
placed beyond need of financial assist
ance by the treatment and sale of
this rice A small sample was sent
to the federal analyst, who reported
that it is difficult and probably IN
profitable to cultivate a field continu-
ously in rice on a river and that at
any rate a mill test to prove suitable
ity for starch manufacture would re-
quire two tons of rice Senator Find
ley is sending to the territory for sew
eral tons for further experiments.
Great hopes are entertained that the
northern territory will prove one Of
Australians most fertile areas
