RICE-GROWING 



In Australia. A New Industry 



MOST people think rice cannot be grown in cold places ; 

 but if it is acclimatized it will grow just the same as in 

 warmer parts. Imported rice mostly comes from 

 Burmah, where ihey cannot grow as good quality as here. 

 We import £200,000 worth of rice every year, and it pays a 

 duly of 3/4 a cwt., so that where irrigation can be practised 

 it may pay to grow instead of wheat. Rice straw is used for 

 making ropes, matting, and bags, and is considered in the 

 East a valuable feed for stock, which, harvested in May, 

 comes in wlien other feed is scarce.
