is hoped that this first meeting

much good work to be done for
our civic advancement if the
women of New iberia will only
emulate the example of other cit
les and towns and cooperate.

arrangement for work, little can
be accomplished but well at
tended gatherings will produce
inspiration and enthusiasm to ac-
complish many useful ends. New
members are earnestly desired
and the League will be glad to
add new names to its roll.
This section was visited with
a veritable deluge last Thursday
afternoon which followed the
drizzling rain the early part OF
the morning. While the rain
was beneficial to the cane crop
considerable hay was spoiled that
had been cut and left in the
fields. For the past three weeks
however, hundreds Of wagons OF
the finest Lespedeza and pea vine
hay has passed through our
streets being delivered to the
purchasers at nice prices to the
farmers. 1t shows what can be
done in hay raising here were the
proper attention given to the
crop. There is no excuse for any
farmer not raising plenty of hay
at least sufficient for his own use
if not for the market.
