California Rice Crop.

approximately 34,35O acres were
sown to rice in California in 1915, &C
cording to government estimates.
This is more than double the acreage
OF last year and Is remarkable in
crease In the three years since 1912,
when the industry began in q modest
way on abode soil near Bigger in the
Sacramento valley. Since that time
the United States department of agri-
culture has been studying the prob
lens confronting California rice grow
ers and new bulletin of the depart
ment, containing the results of tho in
vestigation up to the present time, has
just been published.
At present the greater part of the
California rice crop is grown on black
abode soil, which is approximately so
per cent clay and very close and COM
pact. The Sacramento silt loom,
found over large areas in the eastern
part of Colusa county is well adapted
to the crop, which has also been sue
cessfully grown on the Willows clay
and on the Almo clay-loom adobe. In
general it may be said that rice re-
Quires a clay soil with an impervi-
GUS subsoil. lying in level tracts and
capable of good drainage. Shallow
soils are preferable because less
water is needed to submerge them.
In 1913 the average yield from the
5000 acres in rice was 5000 pounds an
acre. In estimating the cost of pro-
ducing rice, however, the government
estimators have taken as a basis a
yield of $500 pounds. On this basis
the average cost per acre is placed at
$36.25.
