New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1905-01-14

One of the delegates from this
parish to the Shreveport cotton
convention handed The Gazette a
copy OF the Montgomery, Ala,
Journal, which contains an ex-
tended write up Of the invention Of
that machinery, which when once
successfully evolved from the in
ventor's brain, will prove great
boon to the south, the cotton picker.
The gentleman saw Photographic
views Of cotton fields taken before
and after the picking Of the fleecy
staple, and informed The Gazette
that apparently it worked in these
instances in very satisfactory
manner. He had an interview
with the persons in charge Of the
introduction Of the invention and
they spoke in a hopeful way for
the ultimate success Of the picker.
The solution of the problem of
making machine pick cotton has
become, in the south, what that of
motion is to the scientific
world and if the genius of man has
again shown Its ability to overcome
natural disadvantages, surely it is
q matter for congratulation. The
article in the Journal contains
many complimentary letters from
farmers who have used the picker
or seen it in operation. Lafayette

where the bashful, timid swains were
slow, or 10th to reach the point, the
coy madens in their delectable ir-
resistable way helped them out. It
was at once developed that there were
some veterans in the field who had
neither bashfulness. nor timidity,
who took the fair ladies by storm, to

4 NEW GERM THEORY
Explains Cause of Much of the Sickness in
Washington
Washington

It is we'll known that everyone swal-
lows countless germs every day. many
of them being positive disease germs
which under right conditions result In
serious sickness.
Dame Nature kills most of these
germs when they reach the stomach and
digestive organs with the natural juices
secreted by the healthy stomach. As
usual thing it is only the person with
a weak stomach and poor digestion who
should fear the germs Of disease.
The most recent theory of scientists
Is that the bodily health depends upon
the natural action of the stomach. This
explains why those who use S-i-o-na
tablets are rarely Ill. Taken before
each meal. Afi-o-na strengthens the
stomach so that disease germs are either
neutralized or else driven from the sys-

Japanese Vines.

Over the front door of a house Or
across its highest gable end Japanese
wistaria may be effectively trained. The
Japanese varieties of this flower are
much better than the coInmoner sorts
which grow throughout New England
profusely. Vines, like other hardy plants,
require rich, turfy loan to thrive at
their best. Hardy garden flowers OF
the old-fashioned sort are now very
much liked, and, as this is q practical
fad, there is no reason why it should
not be INDUCED in Geraniums and sim
liar plants must be set out newly each
year, but the old garden plants Will
take care OF themselves in winter
wea Their and need not be taken indoors
at all. Among these are the anemones,
or wind flowers, in pink. white and
red: chrysanthemunS, which may be SET
out now for fall blooming and Will lend
the green of their foliage until they
can show the brighter hues of their
blossoms: columbine, Which answers Tor
herbaceous borders. for gravel pains ana
bay windows: day lilies, fragrant, white
and blue Powered, with leaves of vary
ing width; scarlet foxglove, which is
beautiful grouped among shrubbery;
forget me nots, that bloom from ApriI
until late June: holIyhocks, Japanese
iris lily of the valley, hardy garden
pinks, and sweet-willfam. All of these
are hardy and can be cared for by the
cool. moist soil. and bloom in autumn
as well as in summer.
Shrubs must not be overlooked in the
selection of plants for the garden.
Among these may be mentioned the
Japanese SNOWFALL, Fose-colored wigelia,
hydrangea, lilac dentzia. and Japanese
barbery. the last named very orna-
mental Towering shrub. thorny and haY-
ing light green leaves with yellow flow
ers followed by red berries Other va
rieties have purple foliage, which makes
1t valuable for masSing.
Azaleas come under the head of flow
ering shrubs also and these may be
planted with rhododendrons, belonging
to the same family, and harmonizing as
well as enjoying the same soil. They
should have rich, loamy ground, and
will do well in partial shade.
In considering the summer garden, it
is we'll to let the hardy plants have the
greater space, for these, whether in
vines, shrubs, or flowers, will outiiVe
other plants, will bloom year after year
and viii repay one more fully in the
end for their selection.
