Louisiana's Rice Crop.

A Louisiana man says that the rice crop of that State this year will be fully one-half of the entire crop of the United States. “The raising of rice,” he says, “has worked wonders for the interest of our State It has practically opened up a new industry in the agricultural lice, and hundreds of farmers who thought their lands valuless when the cotton gave out now find themselves in a position that will soon place them in one year •where cotton could not put'them in five. It is really the'most lucrative of all the new industries ia the South.”
