7,350,OOO BUSHELS
OF RICE ESTIMATED
1922 Yield is 81 Per Cent
of Last Years Crop, 1t
is Reported.

Little Rock, Dec. 16-An approx
innate yield of 7,350,000 bushels Of
rice for Arkansas for the year 1922
is the present forecast, according
to statemnt issued by the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
These figures are based on an esti-
mated harvested acreage of l53,750
and yield per acre of AIS bushels.
They were arrived at through a
canvass OF 40 per cent of the total
acreage in all the rice producing
counties of the state and it is be-
ieved by the Department of Agri-
culture that this summary reflects
true acreage conditions for the whole
of the Arkansas rice belt.
According to the above figures,
indications are that this years aver
age yield is 81 per cent of the rec
ord figure Of last year. However,
owing to increased acreage, total
production will be somewhat in ex-
cess of that of last year.

PRESIDENT
HARDING is
ENCOURAGED
Chief Executive is in Bet.
ter Frame of Mind Over
Perplexing Situation
In Europe.
tgy The United rress.0

Washington, Dec. 16.-Prcsi-
dent Harding today sought coun-
sci among whom he regards as
the best advisers as to the best
means to intervene to prevent
the approaching economic crash
in Europe.
1t was understood this after
noon that the President feels
encouraged by the favorable re-
action in European capitals to
news Of Americas determination
to prevent a collapse. In ad-
dition to his consultations with
his cabinet members, cable dis
cussions are being carried on
with American ambassadors
abroad. At his forthcoming con-
ference with Ambassador Har-
vey the President will seek ad-
vice from leading senators, in
cluding the irreconcilables in
the treaty fight, of prominent
leaders in American thought.
Not since the dramatic days
that developed upon the occa-
sion Of the great disarmament
conference has Washington been
so tensed to an anticipated move
by the government.
1t is believed in Washington
this afternoon that the present
contemplated conference may
even surpass the disarmament
conference in Importance. This
impression las continued to
prevail in important official
circles several days.
1t was stated that another in
ternational conference would be
called but, it was said, final
decision will not be reached
in regard to this move until
after a consultation could be
held with Ambassador Harvey
ON or about January 1st.
The coming move of the Unit
cd States will, in effect, call
for a showdown in Europe. 1t
will require an answer from
each of the European nations
concerned whether each is ready,
in a broad way, to approach
a solution of world problems
that lave developed abroad con-
sistcat with international peace
and reconstruction, or whether
they prefer to continue the road
that is dragging Europe into
tho pit of disaster.
