cost would, perhaps, be prohibitive
at present prices. 1 hree million
acres is a conservatiVe estimate of
the amount which can be successfully

rotation of crops; coosequentlyonly
one·half of that amount, or 1;500,000
acres, would be in rice at anyone
At an average yield of ten
b,~rre1s (of I62 pounds) per acre,
I,5OO,000 acres of rice would produ;:e nearly 2,500,000,000 pounds

amount of our present consumption.
There is no satisfactory reason why
the Ul1lt~d ~tates should not grow
and mill alr'its own rice and become
an exporter.
The employment of machinery in
the rice fields of the southwest similar to that used in the great wheat
fields,of California and the Dakotas
is revolutionizing the . methods of
cultivation and greatly' reducing the
cost. The Amt;rican rice grower,
