New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1914-09-19

We were presented this week
with a stalk Of sugar cane raised
by one Of the negro tenants Of
Mr.. John r. Taylor whose place
is situated near Cade Station.
The stalk of cane is Of the D rs
variety and contains Ii red joints,
tipping the scales at three pounds
and ten ounces. The tenant has
cultivated 60 acres with two little
Creole mules which shows that it
is not necessary as some farmers
seem to think, that cane to be
worked properly requires big
American animals. This shows
what can be done here with cheap
er mules if our farmers would
be satisfied to use nothing but ma
tive raised animals which takes
less corn to keep up. This negro
has always produces good paying
crops since assuming charge OF
the place and others could do
just as well if they made up their
minds and farmed economically.

Some months since we called
attention to the need Of a pair
of Fire horses for America Fire
Co. No. 2 whose truck is entirely
to heavy for the one horse CON-
PEELED to pull their heavy hose
carriage whenever there is an
alarm. The fact that the truck
of that Company is in the rear
portion Of the City and that nine
tenths Of the alarms are given
in at great distances, makes it
obligatory on the part of the City
that another animal be bought at
an early date. 1t is almost a
case OF cruelty to animals to use
only the one horse to pull the
heavy truck. to say nothing of the
thousands of feet Of hose in ad-
dition and it behooves those in
authority to make the purchase
Of another animal as soon as pos
sible as the work is to hard for
one horse which is completely
tagged out every time it answers
an alarm. Is not this worthy Of
consideration by our City Faith
ers1 .:
1t was our pleasure this week
to drop in at the New iberia
Foundry and Machine Shop
owned by the estate of the late
George Simon where we found al
most the entire crew of the large
machine shop employed, in fact
it is one of the busiest places in
the City at the present time. The
proprietor Of the Foundry have
recently installed at a great ex-
pense one Of the Davis Pressure
Generators. new invention for
welding cast iron, brass, etc.,
thus obviating the necessity Of
Casting when pieces of machinery
get broken. The Generator
works under a pressure of a thou
sand pounds and it is wonderful
to see how easily iron can be
together. The heat is
20 intense that the iron or brass
is melted within a few minutes
and expert can join the parts TO-
yether in such manner that one
would never know that a break
Tad occurred. At the time of
'ur visit there we found Mr.. Paul
VOORHEES,, the Manager and Fore
nan of the Shop making a thor
,ugh test of the new device. The
beauty of the invention is that it
its own gas at whatever
pressure is desired.
Last Monday morning the
lily Court with Judge Nuckolls
IN the bench was convened to try
he first case since he has as
umed the Office for a violation
# the Sunday law. The party
involved was Mr.. Chas. e. Cat |
'dal, owner of the business place
It one time owned by Mr.. Jules
landry. 1t seems the violation
# the law was committed on the
tn instant, but it was not until ,
last that sufficient evil |
lence could be obtained with
which to make an arrest and
ring the accused to trial. The
