KICE CULTURE.
lt KfTlrjl on the Cafe Fear The
Old Farms Being Reclaimed Some
' Fizurrs and Facts.
Daring the past three years a growing
iuterest in rice culture has been mani
fected in this section of the State, caused
by the increased value of the cereal.
Until recently .and since the close of the
war, the cultivation of rice on the
Cape' Fear ' lias ' been 'almost ' entirely;
abandoned, bat very little, in , compari
son to former .crops and the prod active '
capacity of the laadf, being raised for
market and by far the larger part of the
fields remaining idle.
The reclamation of these fields was
necessarily at first on a small scale, and
as an experiment with the ' present sys.
tern of labor. So well did the Vnew pio
neers" succeed, that others were induced,
by the result of the labors ofjthe "ex
perimenters" to embark in the once lucra
tive business. So rapidly has the inter
est in rice planting increased that to-day
more than .one-half of the rice lands on the
river have been reclaimed and are now
under a high state of cultivation. Among
the most prominent rice planters on the
river now are Mr. Jno. F. Garrell, who
cultivates 252 acres; Navassa Guano
Company, 260 acres; Mr. Sam'l F. Pot
ter, 125 acres; Mr. Geo. W. Kidder, 75
acres; Mr. J. Dickson McRae, 150 acres;
Mr. Francis M. Moore, 175 acres; Mr.
Wm. Larkins, 50 acres; Capt. D. B. Mur
chison, 230 acres; Col. S. L. Fremont, 200
acres; Dr. W. G. Curtis, 200 acres; Mr.
W. Hankins, 100 acres; Mr. B. A. Hal
lett, 50 acres; Mr. Calvin Grimes, 50
acres; Mr. B. B. Wood, 75 acres; Mr. A.
W. Reiger,100 acres; Hon. D. L. Russell
100 acres, and about 400 acres cultivat
ed by colored men whose names we could
not ascertain, making a total of 2,592
acres of rice lands now under cultiva
tion. It is thought that at least 125,000
bushels of superior rice will be made in
this section this season; We are treat
ing solely with lowland rice and have no
included in our figures the rice crop o
the uplands, which ( will probably reach
5,000 bushels.
As this subject ot rice culture is . one
of interest to oar people, inasmuch, as i
is the revival ol an .ance-detwift enter
prise and one which brinsrs and retains
a revenue .to our city, we have pu
our selves to some trouble to examine
into the matter. On yesterday we visit
ed Mr. John F. GarreU's rice fields at
the "Sans Souci" and "Hanaper" plan
tations on Smith's Creek and the North
East river. In 1878 Mr. Garrell com
menced the cultivation of rice as an ex
periment, on 22 acres at the "Sans
Souci" plantation, and succeeded so ad
mirably that in the fall he purchased the
"Hanaper" farm, and reclaimed 150
acres in the former tract and 100 acres
in the latter, making a total of 250
acres Subsequently he purchased the
"Traponte" farm and lately the "Thorn-
bury" tract. The lands of "Sans
Souci," "Hanaper," "Traponte" and
"Thornbury" join each other and the
lour farms nave been thrown into one
plantation of 1,200 acres.
He has now 250 acres planted in rice
and his crop is laid by and the rice is
heading up nicely. His more advanced
fields are a marvel of agricultural beauty.
The rice is from four to five feet high
and looks as strong and rank as it is pos
sible for vegetation to be. His ' dams,
flood-gates', etc., are in excellent condi
tion and he confidently expects an aver
age yield of 50 bushels of rice to the
acre or a total yield of 12,500 bushels.
Different fields were, of course, planted
at different periods in order that all of
his immense crop would not ripen at the
same time, in the busy season he em
ploys something over 100 hands and
has employed regularly 25 hands, besides
hisoverseer, Mr. W. T. Bray, and his
two assistants. This winter, if the sea
son is favorable, Mr. Garrell proposes
to reclaim 233 acres of his rice: lands,
which are now idle, and have them in a
state of cultivation next year, making
then a total of 499 acres planted ' in
rice, lie intended reclaiming one hun
dred and eight acres on the Traponte"
tract a part of the 233 acres last
winter, but the weather was so severe
that the hands could not work in the
old fields. Besides rice planting, he has
turned his attention to the cultivation
of corn and cotton, and has 50 acres of
as fine-looking cotton, and 50 acres of as
pretty-IookTsg corn ai ens would wish
to re;- - His ccttca is cov about Traist
high and the rows are very nearly closed
up. The cotton is boiled up Bicely, and
some will soon be open? On the cotton
the bulk of the " fertilizer used by him
was rice straw. We are told that there
are very few fertilizers on the market
equal to rice straw for cotton, and none
to excel it. ' We understand that Mr
Francis M. Moore's stand of cotton were
manured with rice straw, and that his,
like Mr. G'a., is as pretty as one could
desire to see. "Mr. Garrell has also tried
the growing, of hay. Last year, on 15
acres of uplands, he got 67,000 pounds
of native crab grass- hay, which he avers,
when, prorly cured, is equal to the best
quality of Eastern hay brought to this
market, and that it is eaten with as much
relish by stock. He is now engaged in
building two large, substantial barns for
the stowing of his crop, in addition to
the one he has at present. The one now
nearly completed is 125 feet long by 36
feet wide and has two well pitched star
riesy The other to be built, the frame
of which is being gotten out, is to be 100
feet long'by 60 feet wide, and will be two
stories and a jump high. It will take
110,00 feet of lumber to build the last
barn mentioned. Smith's Creek makes
up within twenty yards of the site of the
barns, which are on a 'bluff, and the lum
ber is carried up the creek to the farm
The rice, cotton and corn crops, as we
said before, look very fine, and are kept
in excellent condition by the overseer,
Mr. Bray, who seems to understand his
business, and attends to it. We have
entered into details in this matter to
shew what can be done on our rice lands
when energy, pluck and determination
three essential requisites are brought
to bear. We wish that we could give aji
outline of the doings of all the planters
on the river, and hope that 1 others will
be induced to embark in the business
and help bring the rice of the old Cape
Fear up to the exalted standard of ante
helium days. We thank Mr. G. for his
courtesy to us m giving the interesting
facts related above. f V

The River lands-
We understand that there was not so
much corn planted this year in the fa
mous prolific Bladen county river lands
as there was last rear. This is a pity
as there has thus far been no overflow and
the crops are nearly all made. What
there is, however, is looking extremely
well.

Change or polling Place.
The polls for the voters of the Second
Ward in this city will be Held to-morrow
at the office of Justice Harriss, one door
East of the Court House. This is neces
sitated from the fact that the August
term of the Criminal Court , for the
county is in session and the Grand Jury
Room, which is the place in which the
polls are usually held, will be occupied
by the Grand Jury.
P. S. Since the above wa3 in type
we learn that fearing there might be
some little hitch about removing the polL
wg place without the 30 days' notice re
quired by law, the Chairman of the
County Commissioners has concluded to
order the polls held in the Register of
Deeds office, in the Court House build
ing. The approach to the polls will be
on Princess street and the ballot boxes
will be in the window fronting .on that
street and immediately under the County
Commissioners' room, which ia on the
second floor.
