Another interesting discussion of the
rice situation and prepared following
the request of Thomas Plunket, field
man for the rice section of the de-
partment of agriculture, for sugges-
tions has been prepared by Alcee
Henry. Acadia Parish farmer.
His complete letter follows:
Morse, La., May 25, 1934.
To the Editor of The Crowley Signal,
Crowley, La.
Alcee Henry of Morse—the old dirt
farmer again on the rice situation.
This letter is addressed to every
interested rice farmer, control board
of the rice industry or any one else
who has no selfish and mercenary
motive in the rice industry.
I see in The Crowley Signal of
May 24, 1934, that Mr. Thomas Plun-
ket of Elton, who is now known as
the field man in the rice industry. Mr.
Plunket is asking advice and sug-
gestions about the future of the rice
industry. It is a wise idea on his part
to appeal to the rice section for ad-
vice as to the future course of the
rice situation.
First—What are we going to do with
the wrecking of the rice industry?
Why is it that the price of rice is so
stagnant? Here is some of the reasons.
One December 14, 1933, I wrote a let-
ter to Secretary Wallace. Among other
things in that letter I mentioned that
the price of rice had been advanced
too high from such a low market.
What became of the rice market then?
Here is what took place, the rice
market remained dead for some time.
The first thing that the mill did, they
bought all the cheap grade rice that
they could find in the country. Ev-
eryone should know that a cheap

Freeport in Brazoria County al-
ready is famed for its sulphur and
regattas. Today it is attaining a new
fame as a garden spot.
The gardening is sponsored by the
Freeport Sulphur Company under
supervision of E. M Henderson, man-
ager of the concern's welfare depart-
ment, and J. H Sandlin, Brazoria
County agricultural agent.
The work, started in the spring of
1931. has attracted wide attention, and
the subsistence homestead department
of the national recovery administra-
tion recently asked for complete data
on the Freeport gardening experi-
ment. The government made its re-
quest through the New York offices
of the Freeport Sulphur Company,
which relayed the request to its Free- ,
port officials.
Accordin to Mr. Henderson about
150 gardens were pknted the first
year, and the number has steadily in-
creased until today there are at least
300 vegetable gardens in Freeport, Mr.
Sandlin said the gardens have an av-
erage value of $50 each.
Idea Contagious.
The gardening plan was urged by
the Freeport Sulphur Company for
the bene.it of its employes, but the
idea was contagious ana spread to
other citizens. The town and coun-
tryside became "garden-minded."
The concern sponsors canning activi-
ties in all parts of the county and
last year it paid expenses of 30 of the
75 delegates Brazoria County sent to
the annual farmer* short course at
Texas A. A M. College.
Its 30 lielegates were the outstand-
ing members of the company-spon-
sored canning clubs. Each delegate
was requested to come back prepared
to give the clubs a full report of the
short cou i ae
The gardens at Freeport average 25
by 100 feet in size.
C M Trokee recently was award-
ed a prize for fine gardening in a
contest held early last week. The
judges were Mr. Sandlin and H H.
Stansel, superitendent of the A. and
M College ayspricultural experiment
substation at Angleton.
Tlie i cund prize was awarded to
D E Hamrick, machini t helper, and
for 12 years a sulphur company em-
ploye. who received $7.50: and the
third prize of $5 each to Joe Schus-
ter, former employe, and I. Borel,
field department Mr Trokee also la
a field employe
Honorable mention waa given to
W R Cobb, bus driver; Lee Sledge,
plant operator; Mrs H D. Whitfield,
a tailor, S F (Paul Cosburgce, cafe
employee,
The judging was on the basis of the
number of varieties or vegetables in a
warden, the condition of the garden
and its appearance. The garden had .
from 10 to 21 varieties of vegetables.
The company's canning plant is

There is sufficent water in the river
for the rice for some time but reports
are that unless some water comes
down the river within the next month
the situation will become serious.
It is very likely that Mr Bailey
will have to return to Washinggton to
lead the opposition to the Ickes Oil
Control Bill in the hou e of repre-
sentatives when it comes up However*
he hopes to devote sixty days to his
preesent campaign. In 1928, Congreas-
man Connally came to Texas and
opened his speaking campaign against
Fail Mayfield on April 17.
Mr Bailey regards as highly amus-

dustry be safeguarded in the Ickes
