Rice Harvest Beginning in Earnest
This Week.
While it seems but a few days since
we were mentioning the fact that the
planters in this section were finishing
seeding, harvesting is the theme of the
day now. A number of planters have
begun cutting their early rice this
week, while a few began as early as
last week, and others will be in the
tields with their binders the first of
next week.
The early rice this year '[ives
promise of being of the tinest quality
and an excellent vield is looked for.
With a continuation of the present
seasonable harvesting weather there
is little cause for the people of this
section to conplain this season, as
there is every promise of an excellent
crop with a good price practically as
sured.
