Since 1906 the variations in the level
of Lake Chad have been closely
watched, and all available data con-
corning 1t have beea compiled, includ-
Ing notes obtained from the natives.
There seems to be a tw~enty-year per-
aodicity, and at the end of four or five
twenty year periods there seems to
come an almost complete d~esiccation,
and then a great rise of level. An old
native remembered a drying up which
has been placed between 1928 and 1885,
while in 1851, about twenty years later,
n level was high. In 1906 the lake
appear to W been very low.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

There are many ladies who woulC
like to cultivate a small flower gar
den bat they have the idea thatsit
is difficult and also takes great
deal of time. This a mistake
Much can be accomplished by de.
voting only one hour every day to
the Flowers.
If those who have an inclination
TODD this was would only cultivate A
small space they would soon realize
the pleasure derived from a little
work every morning.
Many would like to grow flowers,
but say they do not know how.
That is no excuse The art can be
easily acquired.
The first thing to do is to organ
ize flower garden circle, the OBJ
Ject to be the cnltlvatiug IF flowers,
identifying front yards with lawns,
walks, etc. By this means in a
few years New Iberia would be the
flower garden of Louisiana
There are SeveraI practical Il ,wer
gardeners III our City who thrHngly
understand the growing of flowers
and laying out gardens, whose ser
vices can be bad. They will also
give all necessary information as
regards variety of seeds to SOW at
the proper time.
However we must not depend on
outside help. The object of the
society is to teach one another.
There are many Indies who will be
members well versed in the art of
growing flowers, They also have
experience.
The Weekly Enterprise offers a
column of its paper to the ladies of
the club. The proceedings of the
meeting will be published. We ex-
pect members of the club will pre-
pare and read at each meeting a
paper giving their experience on
some particular flower or plant
they have been successful in grow
ing. We also want 10 hear of their
failure.
