The RICE CROP.

There are many beautiful rice crops

as a whole, Welsh farmers are more
progressive, more prospesous, more
painstaking than the farmers of any
other section of the rice belt.
The writer has noe been able to trav

since the crop began to mature, but
has received many favorable reports
from the efforts of different farmers.
Samples of rice coming to our office
