THE MICE SITUATION.
The Rice Journal and Southern Far-
mer in Ite July issue has the following
to say as regards the rice situation:
The end of June finds the crop of a
full average normal, and it is a safe
assertion to say that the acreage ,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, is no
greater than it was this time last sea-
son. In some sections, notably in
Calcasieu and Arcadia, there is a ma-
terial reduction. In others, notably
- North Louisiana and Arkansas, there
* considerable in crease. Our best
advices would indicate the crop no
earlier than a fair average, even
though the Open winter and early
spring indicated a very early maturi-
ty; just as at one time it indicated
a possible large increase in acresge.
The comment applies that, insofar
as Arkansas and the river are con-
eerned, the crop will he a very much
more expensive one than that of pre-
vious years. On account of the weath
or conditions, there has been no let up
on pumping and no such thing as free
water, and on account of the one time
drouth, there has been considerable
replanting, and many farmers of those
territories who had figured when he
got through planting to have seed rice
to sell, and which, incidsntally, he had
counted on to help pay the bills,found
himself in a position where he had to
order a few sacks to finish out with.
Insofar as Texas sad our Louisiana
prairie country are concerned, they
had to do some replanting ,but only in
a lesser degree.
From the prairie country has come
some little complaint as to stands. In
our expression as to our view on the
crop, in its totality, these were taken
into consideration.
Up to the week of June 13th, the
market conditions had been entirely
satisfactory. Japans, particularly,
showed a marked increase, and quite
• volume of trade ensued. This was
particularly fortunate, in that it re-
lieves the situation of the bugaboo of
an unwieldy carry-over. It must be
confessed, however, that the past two
weeks have been dead, all, in the pri-
mary markets, in the interior, and at
the out-ports. It can't be said that
this period of quiet was unexpected. Eli Whitner could never have invent-
even though it had been the hope that ed the cotton gin, which is such a
the swing to trade would continue well blessing to the South, without a
into July, trained mind and hard work. James
The views of the trade would Indi- Watt did not invent the steam engine
cate that because of extreme qiuet of by chance or luck. He had a trained
the past two weeks, that along about mind and he worked for years be-
the middle of July there should be a fore he gave us the steam engine,
revival and some movement so that a
further reduction in the carry-over
will occur.
When we figure that, barring Bay-
ou Tesche territory, and some few fa-
vored localities on the river,, that the
crop will not be so early as ft was
last year by three weeks, and that any
movement In Japans can’t occur until
September, it can readily be seen that,
without using fugures, the carry-over
will not be enough to seriously affect,
the range of values when it comes to
the movement of the new corp, al- .
ways realizing, as we must, that even
on a $4 basis for our rough, that rice
is the cheapest of the cereal foods.
The weather at this writing is ideal
for rice; that is, it is as hot as fire,
and we are getting showers generally.
Its continuance for the next six weeks’
will mean both good quality and good
yields.

Study Hard, Work Faithfully.
The greatest need of our country
today is better farmers. We need
more people who know how to make
our soil produce better crops. The
greater manufacturing industry of our
country has grown very rapidly with-
in recent years. Commerce has great-
ly evolved and taxed the railroads and
other transportation companies to dis-
tribute our products. The enormous
demand for men to All positions in
business has caused boys to leave the
farm and seek work in business.
This is not because the farm does
notpay, nor is it because the farm
does not give men as great opportuni-
tiesas other work. It is because
those who leave the farm have not
given the farm a fair chance.
Do you know what it takes to make
a successful banker, a live merchant,
a skillful doctor, a good lawyer and
an eminent statesman?.Ask any one
that you know who has made a great
success in his occupation, what is the
secret of success. He will tell you
there is no secret about success. It
takes preparation for your occupation
and hard work to make a success at
anything.
It took Newton years and years of
study and much patient work to an-
nounce the great .law of gravitation
that is so valuable to science today.
Do you think Luther Burbank, that
great horticultural scientist who has
given us so many valuable fruits and
plants, could have accomplished so
much for us if he had not studied
diligently and worked hard? Cer-
tainly he could not. He was willing
to study and work faithfully or
he never could have done his great
work for agriculture.
The farmer who originated Reid’s
Yellow Dent corn worked for year»
before he bred up this splendid va-
riety. Boone County White, Iowa Sil-
ver Mine, Leanning and Mosby are
the result of deligent thought and per-
sistent effort on the part of someone.
We cannot do anything worth while
without study and work.
We see, then, that those who do
things are those who are prepared for
the work they undertake and work
honestly and patiently for their re-
ward. The man behind the counter
and in the office, if he does anything
worthy, does not have an “easy time,”
He does not have the pleasure of
pure air, healthful exercise and the
presence of fruits, flowers and ani-
mals, like you. The “easy time" is
only when we enjoy our work and
have the satisfaction of doing it well.
Work is always easy when we enjoy
It.
But why does the farm need men
who atudy and work hard? All occu-
pations -need studious, industrious
young men. Is it possible that the
farm needs good men worse than
other occupations? •
The farmer is the man that furnish-
$8 our food and clothing. He also
furnishes many of the raw materials
for the manufacturers. He furnishes
most of the products that the rail-
roads have. The farmer furnishes
business for the lawyer, he gives em-
ployment to the doctor, he secures
the services of the teacher and the
preacher. He furnishes most of the
revenue to maintain our government.
In fact, all things considered, agricul-
ture is the most important single oc-
cupation among men.
Don’t you see that when our farms
prosper -all occupations prosper?
When we grow plenty of food pro-
ducts business is. good. Better-farm-
ers, then, means better farms, happier
homes and a prosperous country. .
Since the farm ia so important, why
should not farming be appreciated
more? Why should not our best and
moat intelligent boys select farming
as their life work? Many _of them
are. People are now realizing the
great opportunities that the farm of-
fers. Farmers are thinking more,
working more patiently and becoming
better farmers. The farm is coming
to its own. Stay and build it up.

Cotton Production
Production does not make a country
influential in trade; in fact excessive
production makes us helpless. The
cotton factory will make its powerful
in commerce, as cotton is used all over
the world. The following illustration
gives the cotton production of 1208.

the other hand, if we had 67 per cent
of the cotton factories of the world,
we could fix prices ourselves and take
our rightful, place as master-of the
world’s commerce. English manufac-
turers located a thousand miles from
the cotton field fix the prices. We have
but one alternative; we must manu-
facture cotton and other staple articles
in Texas or forever pay tribute to out-
side manufacturers, and governments,
says the Texas Commercial Secretaries’
Association. ,
When we buy cotton goods to the
amount of one dollar., the farmer gets
PT cents," the transportation companies
7 cents, the Engish manufacturer 3'3
cents and the government 33 cents
while with the factory in Texas the en-
tire dollar would remain with us. The

“Distribution cf Cost."
The factory creates a large amount
’ of wealth on a small area: rapidly cir-
culates money and rapidly creates
wealth. England can place all her cot-
ton mills on a thousand acres of land
and within that area will create more
wealth and employ more labor than
all the cotton fields of the South
which approximate 35,000,000 acres.
Out of every dollar received for the
finished product the manufacture must
pay 50 cents for raw material; 25 cents
for labor and the remainder for fuel,
supplies, depreciation, use of capital
etc.; the manufacturer must circulate
wealth The factory will take the raw
material which the farm is months in
producing, the forest years in maturing
and the mines centuries in creating
and within twelve hours double its
value. The factory is a city builder
and will build empires.
