accomplished When this important
task will start the drillers do not
state, as they are very reticent about
the matter, but are enthusiastic, too,
over the prospects Of bringing in a
real oil we'll The oil is there, others
state, and are positive that even if
full-flegded gusher is not brought
in at least enough oil will be IN
covered to justify future operations
looking to the development Of another
big field, and that, too, in hereto
! fore unproven territory.
There has been an air of suppressed
excitement prevalent for a number of
days, following the veiled announce
ment of the discovery of "oiI sand, .
/ and the speculative element, anxious
to get in on the ground floor" has
been buying recorded leases or tax
ing new ones of territory near or dis
tant from the discovery" we'll. Some
believe they have a real sure thing,
while others, just a little more con.
servative, believe they have a gambl
ing chance and are stalking their hard
cash on the prospects.
According to rumors afolat, some fab
ulous prices and some more fabulous
clean-ups have been made by specu
, lators in leases. @ This speculation IS
: all a part OF the oil game. according
| to those wise TO it. and those who are
; confident feel certain that they are
due to ride the waves in the million
: aire class before long. Parties from
t other points are dropping in on tn
: Z scene and preparing to take a hant
! in the great play. and if the discover!
: we'll proves a great producer it i

alton that the average "oil crank
seems to overlook.

GIN SEEDING THE 1921 CROP
THIS WEEK OR NEXT

This country has experienced the
most remarkable season on record.
There has been little winter and
spring came, with rush. Even the
pecan trees, prove7bially supposed
never to be caught by freeze, have
begun to bud out, and their budding IS
a promise to the agriculturist that
winter is over.
Several Of the early bird farmers
stated they would begin the planting
of cotton this week, possibly, and IL
not they were sure to start next week,
temperature and weather permitting.
Recent rains, followed by clear, warm
DAYS, have placed the soil in the fin
est shape imaginable and there Will
be little trouble getting the land ready
for the seed. Corn is practically all
planted and much of it is almost
ready to get the first cultivation. Cot
ton planted now, if the warm tempera
ture continues, will come up and start
growing in week.

RICE AMONG THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE
Senior Member Of Firm OF
Layne & Bowler Gives
Ideas
PEOPLE NOT INFORMED
AS TO RICE QUALITIES
House to House Canvass
Will Successfully En-
tighten the Consumer

Under date March 4, VI. E. Layne,
senior member of the well-known firm
of Lavne & Bowler has issued the
following circular letter TO the rice
growing and milling interests of the
nation. The firm of Layne & Bow
Ter have been engaged in sinking deep
wells for rice irrigation all through
southwest Louisiana, having placed a
number of wells in opertion in ST.
Landry. Naturally the firm takes
deep interest in the future prosperity
! of the rice industry, and the following
/ circular letter from Mr.. Layne will
, be read with deep concern by the
grower, miller, broker, wholesaler and
retailer:
In order that the $3OOOOO.OO adver-
tising campaign inauguarted and fl
nanced by the southern rice growers
and miIlers, and now in progress, may
be the greatest success possible, in
our opinion it should be backed up
by a properly organized house-to-house
sales canvas, setting for the benefits
of rice as food product. These can
vassers-personally representing the
industry, instructing the people how
to prepare rice and actually making
the sale of the product on a commits
sion basis, in quantities ranging from
ten to one hundred pOunds-make the
introduction a self-supporting PROPOSE
ton. This will work botn ways. 1t
will enlighten the consumer with rela-
ton to the vegetable fo0d values Of
rice and how to prepare same: and 1t
will relieve the middleman of penny
sales owing to the feat that the CON
sumer will soon become accustomed
= to use rice in bulk as be does other
staple and vegetable food cOmmodi-
; ties. For instance, we crdHr - to 100
! pounds of flour, II tc 30 pounds of
, corn meal, 10 to so pounds nf potatoes
10 to 100 pounds of sugar. n fact, all
of the staple food conrnOdltias are or
5 dered in larger bulk than rice. This
! shows cOnclusively that rice is not
} filling it's proper function in our ma
ton, namely that of a vegetable food
+ which two-thirds of the old world alb
/ soluteIy depend on as their principa
2 staple, but which Americans use as Z
= deTicacy. 1t also handicaps the mer
chant requiring much time and al
: tentiOn to distribute rice in sinai
quantities; therefore, the merchant il
forced to charge from four to 81,
/ cents per pound for handling in on
: or two pound packages where other
l. wise he could more profitably handl
ten to twenty pounds with less physi
/ cal trouble and with a charge 70
!. handling of from one-half to one cen
: per pound. The trouble is tina tou
il people are not informed Of the bene
S fits of rice as a vegetable food. Cor
