Madisonville, Nov. 23.-According
to the approximate estimate of the
rice growers as was publicly stated
recently, the production in and about
Madisonvil1e, the omplete area COM
prising Ward One, totalled some
thing in the vicinity of 1900 bar
rels of rough rice that have been
threshed, hauled to the storage
rooms and are now being prepared
for shipment.
This tabulation quite obviously re-
veals the encouraging fact that this
seasons crop was decided increase
over that Of last year, and ultimately
much greater, the grain itself ex-
ceiling others precedent in size and
lneness.
The mere fact showing the suit
able adaptation of the grain to the
soil is sufficient incentive to the fur
therance of the rice crop as a pay
ing proposition here-so clearly re-
vealed in its marked success this
fineness.
