Y. NJ. c. A. DEFEATS TIGERS"

Those who assembled at the Y
M. G. A. gymnasium on Friday night
December 10, witnessed a fast ant
well played game of basketball wheI
the Emmett Tigers and the Y. NJ
IC. A. team battled for supremacy.
The Association team took an early
lead but every inch was stubbornly
fought for by the Emmett men, ey-
en- after 1t was clearly evident that
the Payette boys had a lead that
could not be overcome.
The "Y" five put up one of the
most consistent and best played
games seen on the local court in a
long time. Every man on the team
seemed to be on edge and as a COM
bination they worked together in
splendid form. Defensive work was
so effectual that the Emmett team
had trouble in working the ball to
goal with any degree Of satisfaction
while the Payette sharp quick pas
sing and clean basket shooting es-
tablished the result OF the game safe
Iy in their keeping.
Sothman, at center made stronger
his claim for the business or let
ling George do it" by playing good
ball from beginning to
sna. At center his jumping almost !
invariably started the ball toward |
Payettes goal and he kept in the
game every minute. Darnell and En-
'ign at forward gave the opposing
,uaros all kinds OF work to do. They
work together well and have basket
ayes that make them dangerous men
whenever they get into striking dis
ance of the net. Ensign Gagged eight
baskets from the fielo- At guard

RICE GROWING
DEMONSTRATES SUCCESSFUL

That rice can be grown successfully
on commercial scale, In California
and on the Pacific Coast has been
demonstrated by the first crop now
being harvested near Richyale In the
Sacramento valley. From officials
OF the Southern Pacific Company, it
is learned that the 1900 acres plant
ed early this spring are Yielding
5000 pounds per acre, or $3.50 tons
for the district. This crop is a new
one for California and adds an i'm
portant product to the already long
agricultural list OF the west
The black adobe soil OF the valley,
under irrigation, has been found
very favorable for the culture Of yari-
ETY. of Japanese rice known as Watar-
bune.
The seed is planted in March The
land is cut up into squares surround
ca by bikes. After the young plant
has attained a height Oh IL TO IA
inches, the areas are flooded to
depth of 8 to 6 inches, and kept
wet until the growth is mature, usu-
ally the first week In September.
The water is then drawn off and
the ground left to dry for ten days
SO that it may support the threshing
machines.
The rice is hulled and polished,
when it is ready for market About
II per cent of the output is pure
rice. The balance runs into by pro-
ducts, such as cracked bran and
rice. The stalks are used for stock
food. 1t is said that the growers are
selling the pure rice for two cents
a pound, +. o. b. Biggs.
At Richvale, the Richvale Land
Company has built 80 miles of ditch
and is constructing Is miles more.
The company owns 500 acres and in
dividuals 900 acres. For the next
season, almost double the present
acreage will be under cultivation
