RICE SEASON CLOSING

The rice crop of 1914 is practically all
inInow and the rice farmers generally
are In position to strike balances on the
years business.
The year as a whole has been very
favorable to the rice farmer. The
spring and summer seasons furnished
rains generally which fell so pIentifully
that the work of irrigation was con.
Siderably lightened. In the fall when
harvest season came on the rains
ceased, and the farmers had
an unusually good fall for cutting and
thraShing,
Then suppIementing these favorable
conditions the price of rice has been up.
on paying basis. The season opened
up with prices unusually high but soon
dropped to level that afforded fair
margin Of profit as a rule.
Rice farmers have added very sub.
stantially toltheir net worth this year
in the way of storing a good crop of
corn and other feed crops. This will
save large feed bill to carry the teams
over through another blowing season.
Taking everything together old JEFF.
fOrSon Davis Parish has enjoyed good

ORANGE DAY

November the 10Th is designated as
Louisiana Orange Day.. The day is set
aside for the purpose of encouraging
the culture Of this one of Louisiana's
most promising crops.
There is no doubt great possibilities
IN the orange industry especially in this
section OF Southwest Louisiana.
While the culture OF oranges on any.
thing like large scale is comparatively
new yet it has been clearly shown that
this soil and climate is very admirably
adapted to their culture.
The Satsumas, Louisiana Sweets, Par.
son Brown and Washington Naval all
do we'll here and this section in our
Judgment can we'll afford to give its
attention to the culture of oranges on
a largs scale.
