Americas First Rice.

The ! first rice ever grown in
this country was at Charleston. In
the early spring of 1894 vessel
from Madagascar put into Char.
lesion harbor in distress, badly
battered from an encounter with
a storm. The captain of the dis
allied vessel having received nu.
merous kindnesses at the hands
Of Langrave Thomas Smith, then
one of Charleston s foremost cit
izens, on leaving presented him
with small bag of rough rice,
which he advised the landgrave
to plant in moist spot and note
the result. Smith planted the seed
in the garden of his residence.
When the rice matured and was
harvested he divided portion of
the seed thus obtained among
several of his friends. In few
years rice became one of the sta.
pie products of the colony.
