Fade Worth While,

II is pleasing sign OF the times

The day has gone by when polite ao-

cry was once described, was considered
positively vulgar.
Nowadays women very rightly re-
gard all this kind of thing as waste OF
time unless music or painting or en-
broidery reaches a certain standard OF
excellence. So. happily, women with
leisure ano means and desire to en-
ploy their fingers proftably, are seri-
ously taking up such work as book
binding and photography and the beau
tifu art of enameling.

NEW CANAL I'IsD.JECT.
Scheme to lrrisatc Rice Fields
of Acadia.

NrpNIey SlS.Hai
Mr.. G.. 5. Babin, Il civil cngi
nCer of Lafayette. La, has been
exhibiting to people interested in
irrigation in this vicinity plans
for an irrigation canal to supply
Lafayette, Acadia and CalcaSieu
parishes with water for irriga-
tiOn purposes from the Atchafa-
1aya river.
Engineer Babin's : plan cOntcm-
plates the construction of Il
dredged canal connecting the
Atchafalaya with the Teche, a
distance of about eight miles. 1t
is proposed to tap the Atchafa
laya at Il point Il little north
east OF BrcauX Bridge and con-
meet with the Techc at the bend
east of the town Of GcckO. From
this point the canal will follow
the bod of tho Tcchc about four
miles, to Il point just north of
BroauN Bridge. Here the water
is to be lifted into an irrigation
i'illiI. ne iift W III DC ABOUT
twelve feet. Four miles west of
brcauX Bridge, at the bluff, it
will have to be relifted a distance
of about fifteen feet. From this
point it can be carried to the
Merm entau river without re1ift.
1t is proposed to make the
dredged canal between the Atch-
afalaya and Techc 800 feet wide
and six feet deep. and the irriga
tiOn canal 80 feet wide. Engi-
nocr Babin believes the canal can |
also supply water to the Nermil |
ion in sufficient q Quantities for the
use of the rice lands dependent |
on that stream. Water for |
Acadia and Lafayette parishes
will be carried across the Normil IL
ion by a Hume.
Mr.. Babin has been working
on his project about eighteen
and believes he has
reached the solution Of the irri-
CATION problem.
