DIRECTIONS POR PLANTING UPLAND 

 RICE. 



On lands that hold moisture well, such 

 as waxy or post oak land, plant any- 

 where. On dry or sandy land rice is 

 planted in the low places. Prepare the 

 land and cultivate as for corn, except the 

 rows are only 22 to 24 inches apart, so 

 that one furrow in each middle, with an 

 18-inch sweep, usually suffices for a work- 

 ing, and the hills just far enough so it 

 can be hoed. Plant as early in April as 

 you can. Furrows are opened and the 

 seed covered in any way most convenient 

 at the time, just so the seeds get a little 

 dirt over them Drop 15 or 20 seeds in 

 each hill and leave all that come up. Cul- 

 tivate for moisture and to keep down grass 

 and weeds until rice begins to head. It 

 usually ripens last of August or early in 

 September. The color tells when it is 

 ripe. 



The required quantity of rice to plant 

 one acre ordinary alluvial soil is 3 bushels 

 of 44 pounds to the bushel, or 132 pounds.

 abundance of small tubers on its roots, but

 vested, and furnish one of the most valu- 

 able fattening feeds for hogs and poultry.

 3 feet apart, dropping the roots 4 inches 

 apart. Give shallow cultivation. The 

 tubers mature in September and can re- 

 main in the ground until needed. One peck

 sand. The seeds are planted either in rows 

 four to five feet apart each way, or else 

 in rows about four feet apart and only 

 eighteen inches apart in the row. Price, 

 50c per lb., postpaid.
