The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1915-07-17

Information reached us only in
time for this issue of the Iberian,
announcing the death of Mrs.
Catherine LoDgnecker, who died
at the home of her son, Alvin
Goodrich, in California, on June
%, after reaching the 82nd year
of her age. She is survived by
two children; ALVIN, sOn by
former marriage, and Little Long
necker Riggs, now the widow of
Il. Clay Riggs, formerly of this
city, but later of New Orleans.
Mrs Longnecker was a sister
Of Mrs. Jasper Gall, Mrs. Clifford
Laughlin and Mrs. Elizabeth
Reynolds, formerly widow of
Mitcheltree. Her brothers were
John, William, Dave, Samuel, and
Robert Riggs. Mrs. Longnecker
was the last living representative
OF that family which did much to-
wards the development of this
section before and after the war
of 1861. All the members of that
family started life here and but
few Of them ever moved away.
Their descendants even to the
third generation have spread all
over Southwestern Louisiana, who
have done much for their native
state and the honor of the family
name they bear.

Senator Broussard has gathered
the information that this section
has been eelipsing all of its own
former records in the yield of its
corn crops, and the prospects are
that it will again this coming har-
vest go itself one better. There is
a reason for this. The farmers are
paying more attention to seed Sc
lection and are studying approved
methods of cultivation. Instead OF
the old style high row, four and a
half feet apart, some of the ad-
vance farmers are experimenting
with beds, feet wide, carrying
two rows each. By this method a
great part of the benefits of the
flat system are preserved, a great
part of the ills of the high row sys-
tenn are avoided, and at the same
time good drainage is preserved
"a feature so very essential in
fields so level as ours. Mr.. Brou5-
sard seems to think that corn is
destined to be not only a staple
crop, but a great money maker for
the farmer in the no distant fu-
ture

Low WATER LEVEL.

"Sea levep is a point to be es
tablished or determined after the
taking Of much data carefully.
These observations should ex.
tend over considerable time, in
order TO establish a mean. Pecn
liar com binstions Of phys steal cir
cnmstances will at times cause
exceptionally high or low read.
ings OF the guage; but such ex.
centric readings bear but little
influence upon the establishment
Of "ses level" In this part of
the state "sea level" exerts a
very potent influence upon the
water.level In most of our streams
throughout the greater portion of
every year.
A friend of onrs recently ex.
pres sed the view that the Teche
was attaining lower levels now
than 10 former years. He ex-
plained that there were two rea
sons for THE want Of water IN the
bsyou-0ne was the filling Of the
bayou by tho wash Of the coun.
try, and the other vas the iDflu
ence of the Atchafalaya river in
recent years carrying more Mis-
sissippi water and making big
ger and cheaper channel for it.
self. This greater channel, our
friend contends, carries off all or.
binary stages of water with
greater alscrity and brings the
Tsche closer to sea level than was
the case formally. He cites the
existence Of certain old stumps,
around which the water used to
stand. but which are now for
long periods entirely out of the
water.
The fact that the Atohafalay q
has con siderably brOsdened and
deepensd itself, az it approaches
the Mississippi, thereby causing
1t to carry vastly larger quaint
ties of Mississippi water, seems
to have had but little influence
yet upon the lower stretches of
the Atchsfalaya. From Morgan
City down the Aochafalsya main.
tains the same depth and width
a. formerly. There are no new
outlets TO the sea. During peri
DDS of low.water just as formal
ly-botb the Atchafalaya and the
Tsche, in their lower reaches, are
affected by the tidal aow. If our
friend found q greater stage Of
water in the Tecbe, in conse-
Quenee to the oh ranges in the At

The withdrawal of Mr.. P. r.
Burke from the race for the office
of District Attorney has left Mr..
e. s. Broussard, Progressive can
didate, unopposed in the field.
The Progressive party will hold a
convention in his place on the 5th
of August for the purpose of Off
cially confirming Mr.. Bronssard's
candidacy and making him the par
ty nominee. The Progressives last
November carried the parish by a
majority of 2o6 votes, and lost the
city by IA votes. These results carry
a degree OF confidence throughout
the length and breadth of the party
that prompts a broad smile when
the opposing party seems to find
some difficulty in finding a lamb
for the slaughter.
