Carload Of Blackberries Shipped.


The New Iberia Enterprise in a
recent issue says:
"For the first time in the history
of New Iberia has il been recorded
that whole carload Of blackberries
was ever shipped from this vicinity.
On Thursday last those enterprising
gentlemen, Messrs. Frick Bros, who
are operating a cannery few miles
south of this city, shipped a whole
carload, canned in tWo-pound retain
ers. The berries were picked by We-
men and children In that section OF
the parish, and one member of the
firm reported to us that one day alone
they purchased outright three hun
dred and eighty-fve gallons, paying
| 10 cents a gallon for them. They
were preserved in two-pound cans
which retail for 10 cents each. These
gentlemen had orders for as many as
three cars from New Orleans alone
which goes to show if an effort were
made what a great demand there
would be for the favored fruit. Mr.
| Frick says that several cars were al
lowed to rot in the fields for the rea
son that in many instances trespass
ling is forbidden. This is unfortu
mate, particularly when poor people
would have been given occupation
that would provide them with foof

cAULIFLoWER CULTURE.
Experiment Station Expert Gives
Suggestions to Growers.

From seven to eight hundred acres
will be planted in Snowfall caulifoW-
er in Louisiana this season, according
to George L. Tiebout of the L. S. u.
experiment stations. Prof. Tiebout
offers the following suggestions to
caulifower growers:
| In planting, two methods are COM
monty used: ~ planting IN a seed
bed with the intention of transplant
| ing to the field when the plants have
six to eight leaves; and (2) planting
| in hills (or drills) where the crop is to
grow and mature, thinning out to
one plant to the hill. These methods
are given in detail in louisiana Bulle-
tin Ne. 14O an eaulifiower. II you are
planting SNOWFALL caulifower and do
not have copy of this bulletin be
| sure to write at once to the Experl-
ment Station, Baton Rouge, La, for
a copy.
/ Don't plant all of your seed at one
time: make several paintings at in
tervals of a week or two.
| Don't let the green worms eat the
plaffss. Watch closely for the first
ones and dust with powdered arsenate
Of lead mixed equally with air-slakeo
lime. Write to the experiment sta,

i clean piece Of ground no richer thar
4 the field where the plants are to be
reset. Plant in drills. Don't shade
the young plants, let them take the
i full sun from the start. Ii moss
\ sacks or straw are used to save mos
ture be sure to remove them as soof
as the plants appear.
In field planting be sure there Il
sufficient moisture TO spreut the sees

Phifer Raises Fine Hogs.


Chester B. Phifer, the Duroc-Jersey
King from the north prairie, was in
the city Tuesday. Mr.. Phifer now has
60 full blooded Duroc Jersey hogs, in
Guiding some choice young ones, which
are offered for sale. He has gone in
to the business right. He has spent
several hundred dollars getting the
very best individuals that money can
buy and is giving them careful atten-
ton. ..
Mr.. Phifer has turned his hogs into
pasture Of rape and barley, consist
ing of ten acres, and they will not be-
gin to keep the growth down. He con-
siders the Durocs the very best breed
of hogs. They are very prolific, one of
his giving birth to eighteen nice pigs.

not think that anything had been dam

Evaded Capture by British

elude. II possible, the vigilance Of the
enemy's ships. which were strung
along the whole distance. The 18th
Of October. 1777. Mr.. Read reached
Salem. N. j.. where he obtained . boat
for the purpose of conveying himself
and family across the river.
At the place where he undertook the
crossing, the river was about nve
miles wide. Almost in view Of the
British ships he had about reached the
Delaware coast when he was discov-
cred, for his boat had grounded Just
too far from shore to make 1t practi-
cable to land his family. Unable to
70 ON or leave the boat they were
forced to wait while ships boat came
up to them. Mr.. Reads wits had not
been idle, however, and he devised .
plan which he and his wife immedi.
ately put into practice. They destroyed
all traces Of Identification Of their bag
gage, a feat made possible by the time
required for the other boat's approach.
When the boat came alongside he
politely informed them Of his plight,
and added that he was . country gen
tleman returning home from pleas
ure excursion he had made with his
family. The presence Of his mother,
wife and children added weight to this
story. The commander Of the English
boat was only coxswain, his compan'
ions common sailors. There was moth
ing suspicious about the party.

stranded but short distance from
their destination. the English boats

Watered Securities
BY petsr Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils Of watered stock In
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life OF any
business organization, should be able
to say II know that my Redeemer
Hyeth." but farming Is the biggest
business on earth, and there ts more
water in its financial transaction than
that Of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there IL in q business pay
ing reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only dif-
ference is, the water Is in the interest
rate In one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success IL contingent upon
the development of the property In
volved but the usurer, as rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from inan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that Of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $2oO.oo0.0OO per annum in
usury ON real estate and chattel
loans. and this interest capitalized
at five per cent. represents $4,000. .00O-
600 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body Of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
Will our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid of in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water on the farms!

Brothers in Misery

A letter, which Is among the most
moving documents written since the
beginning of the war, has been re
ceived by young American woman In
Paris. It was written by her hance,
q French cavalry officer, as he lay
dying in Flanders, and with the letter
she received the news of his death.
After narrating how he was wound.
ed in the chest during a cavalry
charge and temporarily lost conscious
ness. the writer goes on:
There are two other men lying
near me and l do not think there 10
much hope for them. either. One is
an officer of a Scottish regiment and
the other a private In the uhlans.
They were struck down after me
and when ! came to myself found
them bending over me. rendering first
aid. The Britisher was pouring water
down my throat from his flask, while
the German was endeavoring to
stanch my wound with an antiseptic
preparation served out by their med
ical corps.
"The Highlander had one of his legs
shattered and the German had several
pieces Of shrapnel buried in his side.
In spite of their own sufferings they
were trying to help me, and when l
was fully conscious again the German
gave me q morphia injection and took
one himself. His medical corps had
also provided him with the injection
and the needle. together with printed
instructions for its use.
After the injection. feeling wonder
fully at ease. we spoke Of the lives we
had lived before the war. We all
spoke English. and we talked Of the
women we had left at home. Both the
German and the Britisher had only
been married a year.
I wondered. and suppose the 9TH
ers did, rhy we had fought each other
at all. / looked at the Highlander.
who was falling to sleep exhausted.
and in spite of his drawn face and
mud.stained uniform, he looked the
embodiment of freedom. Then
thought of the tricolor Of France and
all that France had done for liberty.
Then I watched the German, who
had ceased to speak. He had taken
prayer book from his knapsack and
was trying to read service for sol
diers wounded in battle"
The letter ends with q reference to
tho failing light and the roar Of guns.
It was found at the dead ofncefs side
by Red Cross file and forwarded to
