It Is estimated that the rice acreage In Texas this season Is more than 50 per cent less than that of last year. Growers assert that they lost money on their crop last year, due to low prices and poor marketing conditions. The Southern Rice Growers' associa tion has gone out of business and its plnce Is being taken by the American itlce Growers' association, which Is iild to be patterned after the Califor nia Fruit (Jrowers' association, so far as Its co-operative and marketing fen lures are concerned.
