reports the population of Ardmore Is

proper housing facilities and adequate
transportation to the oil fields this pop

The p A. Conrad Rice Mill was in
operation several days this week and last
finishing up about five hundred sacks 81
the 1918 crop. The rough grain was the
remnants of some acreage from st. Mar
tip and iberia Parishes. It is said at one
time the rice just threshed was offered on
the market at $3.50 per sack, but re-
fused. Since it was milled it brought the
owners as much as $11.50. Mr.. Conrad
expects to start his mill on the new crop
about the 18th or 18th of next month
His own rice alone will amount to aboat
1900 bags. He. anticipates running
through his mill this year as much as
$4,000 sacks, before the harvesting is
concluded. This is one Of the banner
years in rice culture in Iberia Parish, the
acreage doubling that Of former years. It
is fortunate too that so many farmers put
down rice seed, instead of the usual
planting of corn and cane because the
rain coming as it did when it was not
needed played havoc with the young corr
and cane, and in many places the crop
is almost total loss. Of course there is
exceptions because in the Petite Anse sec
ton of the Parish the corn and cane IS
said to be fully as good as last year.
