A. c. Bernard of Jeanerette. ali
experienced scientific farmer de
livered an interesting lecture in
the Court House. under the auspi-
ces of the New Iberia Chamber
Of Commerce and the Iberia
Truck Growers Association.
Those who had the pleasure of
hearing him were highly i'm,
pressed with the manner in which
he handled his subject. Mr.. Ber-
nard has a farm in Tangipahoa
Parish and stated that he pro-
duced 200 bushels of Irish pota-
toes to the acre. He says it is
all in the seed and cultivation.
Few of our farmers know how to
keep the leaves and plants free
of insects which destroy the po-
tato before it is even formed. He
IS well versed in corn raising and
if his prediction become true
Louisiana will become the great
est corn and stock raising State
in the South.

was properly demanded by the
City Commissioners the work was
delayed so long many Of our res
idents who have to use those
walks felt that all hopes had
been lost and the work would not
