The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1916-09-22
Harvest Conditions Fine,
Mills Are Buying Freely,
Farmers Are Julbilalnt

/ Threshing is general in all sections
of the Gulf Coast Rice Belt, and the
earliest of the Arkansas Honduras
will be threshed this week. AS a rule
the rice in the DeWitt-Gillett section
is at least ten days earlier than in
the more northern sections of the Ar
kansas rice district, but such a differ
ence does not exist this year and
threShing at Stuttgart will start al
most as early as at Gillett.
About eighty per cent of the Hon
duras grown on the River and Teche
has been marketed, and the milIers
will soon have to turn elsewhere for
fancy rices Of this variety. Blue Rose
is being threshed and sold in nearly
every section of Louisiana and Texas
today, and the association minimum
of 1925 is being we'll maintained.
The weather has been generally
favorable for the past four or five
days, although the rains of a week
or ten days ago interfered with cut
ting and threshing, and in some in
stances the grade has suffered.
The clean rice trade has been de-
handing Blue Rose and there has been
a disposition on the part of the mill
erss to buy sparingly of Honduras.
Now that the great bulk of the River
and Teche Honduras has been mar
keted and milled, the millers of the
coast country will have to go into
other sections of Louisiana and Texas
for their supplies of Honduras. The
percentage of the rice area of south
west Louisiana and the state of Texas
planted to Honduras is only twenty
one per cent Of the whole, whereas
sixty per cent of the planted acreage
in these SECTIONS is Blue Rose. AS
Blue Rose not only out-yields Hon
duras in the field, but mills about
thirty per cent more head rice, it is
evident that the better grades of
Honduras will be in demand during
the marketing season. There will be
lulls in the demand for Honduras
during the first rush for Blue Rose,
but in time the pendulum will swing
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1916-09-22

back and Honduras will again be
sought after.
Foolish stories of the size of the
present rice crop have been circu-
lated by interests striving to bear the
market. 1t is true that we have a
big crop in sight, but it does not look
nearly as big as it did thirty days
ago. Thresher yields have not been
as large as anticipated. We had a
very small carry-over, and with the
excellent outlook for a continued ex-
port demand, there is no good reason
why the crop should not move at the
values fixed by the Southern Rice
Growers association.
The department of agriculture in
their report of September 1st, cut their
estimate Of the crop, as shown by
their August report, 100000 bushels
or about 3O5,O00 sacks. Basing the
probable production on the five year
average for Honduras and Japan and
the average of the past two years on
Blue Rose would indicate a total pro-
duction of less than 100000 sacks.
Rice is retailing in England at a
cent a pound over prices prevailing
at the outbreak of the war, and the
British government has placed an
embargo on all rices stored in Eng
land.
The Southern Rice Growers asso-
citation does not anticipate that
prices will range above what condi-
tons justify, but they do anticipate
and will stand firmly for fair values.
