In a medium bowl combine the ground ham, rice 2/3 cup of water, onion, salt, and 1/4 cup of the ketchup; mix well.  Stuff this mixture into the peppers filling each about 2/3 full.  Arrange peppers in the crockpot or slow cooker, stacking if necessary.  Use the carrot pieces to help support the peppers.  Mix the cup of ketchup with the 1/2 cup of water; pour into the cooker.  Cover cooker and cook on high setting for 3 hours on or low setting for 6 to 8 hours.
