n common with the rest of the world this country may
be looping the loops intellectually cuturaly and pot-
icaly but there few things in which we are sticking
to the fundamentals as we have come to understand them
and the progress which we have made in the culture Of
nee, noted by the stastcans of the National City Bank
Of New York and set forth in dispatch from New York
printed elsewhere in The West Vrginian this evening"
illustrates this most clearly.
Rice cultivation in this country has grown wonderfully
III the past few years. and of the most import
ant crops from trade standpoint. This is gratifying
but the really big thing about it is that the American rice
grower he became really interested in the pro-
duchon of this crop that has been grown all over the
world for untold centuries practically without change in the
method devised Improvements which not only have made
ii possible to machinery to plant and harvest it on
large scale, but throw open millions of acres of land
not previously suitable for it to rice culture.
It IS the old story dress. One Of the versions
oil this story began right here in Fairmon when Cyrus Nc
Cock perfected his reaper which made possible for the
pioneers to conquer the praes and thus supply food to
world which nearing the danger line under the old
system of hand husbandy Another version of it being
written out IN Arizona where cotton being grown under
conditions which promise materially to increase the
supply of that vitality important staple.
In industry and In agriculture whenever American brains
are applied there is bound to be great improvement AT
least that has been the result far and long as this
lasts heel not be much cause for worry over conditions
