on a rather extensive scale as
they have reasons to think the
article they will can will more
than satisfy the consumer. They
are willing to contract for next
season for the varieties known as
"Exeellsor,'' Country Gentl.-
man" and Howling Mob," and
the management states, by expert
ence, they know this country can
produce just as good an ear as
the Northern states.
The above would justify airy
community looking into the
question as to the advisability of
erecting a cannery. The raising
Of truck, which means more than
one money crop year, would be
encouraged, and in consequence
more ready money in the hands
of our farmers. The industry in
itself would be a source of rev.
enue as the shipment to other
parts would cause the flow of dol.
lars this way. Taking the can
merry in question as an example,
an instance where hundreds are
being given employment (field
hands and those within doors),
one can readily see what this one
institution means to US.
A generous welcome awaits all
visitors to the McIlhenny Can
merry, and the management is only
too glad to enlightenment if
you are from Missouri-the
chances are you will be con-
WINGED that there is something
else "worth while" here besides

THE DEMONSTRATION FARM.

Our farmers and the public in
general should attend the meet
inp next Tuesday at the Court
House under the auspices of the
New Iberia Chamber Of Cone
merce for the purpose OF taking
steps to combat the cattle tick,
if we hope to secure the Live
Stock Demonstration Farm on
Hope Plantation by the Govern
ment authorities. The location
of the farm in this Parish is
rredicated upon the interest We
take in the matter and it behooves
every interested person to lend
his presence at the meeting.
We note from press reports me
people of Ibervi.le, Ascension
and other Parishes on the Miss
issippi river are bending every
effort to have the Farm located
in Iberville Parish and for that
reason the entire Attkapas Par
ishes should throw their infd-
ence to have it placed in the At
takapas and at Hope.
Sirce the visit heao Of Mr..
Rawls of the Federal Govern
ment it has came to our notice
that the land donated by the
State at Hope is not all cult
vabIe farm land and for that
reason it will be necessary that
& Government Reclamation Ex-
pert be brought here at once to
investigate the site offered. When
the Committee was here the New
Iberia Chamber of Commerce in
sisted that the Farm be located
on the West Side Of the Teche
which is in easy access owing to
the Railroads, not knowing that
frlly 225 acres was at present un-
fit for use owing to bad drainage.
From what we are informed all
Of the land can be made cult
vable at very little cost and i t
behooves us to get busy at once
and make a showing The aG-
joining Parishes are as much in
terested in the Farm as we are
and we hope to see them help Ous
before it is too late.
We cannot afford to lose The
Demonstration Farm and the
Chamber Of Commerce is bending
every effort to give the Commit
tee whatever assistance they nee0
to bring the matter to realiza
ton. President Edward Es-
forge of the New Iberia Chamber
of Commerce received a long
communication from Congress
man R. F. Broussard stating that
the Committee would be here on
Monday and Tuesday to look
further into the proposition.

OF a cheap and alternative transporta.

for the regulation OF freight rates.
What the professors saw they wrote
in the German press. As a conse.
quence the empire has each year en-.
larged, extended and improved its nat.
ural and artificial waterways. The riv.
ers OF Germany, Rhine, Weser. Elbe,
Oder, Weichsel, Isar, Main, and others,
are not naturally well adapted to use
for traffic OF a large kind. In major.
ity OF cases their banks were soft and
easily washed down by the waves
from large boats, while their beds
were uneven and shallow. The Ger.
man problem. with the rivers. was to
deepen their beds and strengthen the
banks. The cheapest transportation is,
obviously, by means of the largest
ship or barge which can travel most
rapidly. Size and speed were sought
in the barges and development OF
the river and canals that would permit
economical and rapid navigation.
The Rhine, the best known river in

be noted in passing, yet look with
longing eyes-aftords an example OF

pre:eminence among rivers have now

goes on the express steamer up or
