The services of a man of largo ex perience In the selection of seeds, ono who has been employed In California in seed selection and plant-breeding on n large scale, havo been secured, nnd he will superintend tho rlco ex periment here.

Tho cultivation of rlco here at the present tlmo Is car ried nn In n more or less crudo man ner. With Increasing competition, na Mr Smith, and with tho compara tively high rentals of rlco lands.

Tho United States nxpcrlmcnt Sta tion here has been in correspondence with Eastern authorities and arrange ments havo been made for tho sending hero of special Implements and ma chlnery for the cultivation and harvest ing of rlco. From two to four ncrcs i sultablo land will be required by tj Experi ment Station. It is desired that this land be near tho city, so that it may bo under tho direct supervision of tho experts. Tho land has not yet been selected. A plow specially construct ed for plowing in mud and a harvester adapted to wet lands will bo among tho particular devices used in tho rlco cultivation. Ono of tho chief objects of the ex periment will be tho perfection of now lurlctles, the selictlon of large and heavy seeds, and tho gathering qf seeds from individual plants yielding nbove the average. Fertilizers nnd all matters connected with tho growing of rlco will bo carefully studied with tho Idea of cheapening tho cost of produc tion and In every other way assisting tho growers.
