NURSES OVERSEAS ID GETCHR|STMAS BOXES

Nurses in overseas military service will be taken care of by the Red Cross at Christmas, so it will not be possible to include them in the Christmas box program. Soldiers and sailors in this country, or not with the American eX- peditionary forces, will presumably be allowed to receive their Christmas gifts through ordinary channels with out any restrictions.
 The Red Cross has no connection with any Christmas mail program but the one in question. And in this in stance it will only issue boxes, inspect, weigh and wrap them after they have been filled, direct the placing of stamps and address labels, and turn the pack ages over to the local postoffice au- l thorities. There the responsibility of i the Red Cross ends.

Rapid Spread OF Hlce Business.

The growth in California Of the rice
business has been phenomenal. In the
spring of 1909 the office Of cereal In
vestigations of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture began tests of
varieties of rice near Biggs. Similar
tests were made AT places in the San
Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. In
1912 the first commercial crop of rice,
/, 400 acres, was planted on adobe soil
near Biggs The results were so sat
isfactory that 5000 acres were planted
the succeeding year. From that the
rice area grew to 10000 acres in 1914
5000 acres in 1915; 10000 acres in
1916, and 100000 acres in 1917. The
total value Of this years crop is estl-
mated at $11 100000.
