Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

With the development of transporta-
ton facilities, little truck farms are be-
coming common all over the country
Many of those which are located close
to large towns or cities pay enor
mously.
On some of these little farms re-
markable success has been attained
with succession crops. Beginning with
lettuce, radishes, beets and peas as
soon as the frost is out of the ground
in the spring, these products are fol
lowed by crops of cabbage beans. to-
matoes, celery. etc. All kinds of com
binations may be studied out for pro
ducing two or more crops on the land
in one season.
Then there are many garden novel
ties which return large profits and
which are just as easy to produce as
the more common crops. A study of
this is important to owners of little
farms. \ very small acreage some
times gives a living income if the right
products are handled.
An odorless cabbage is about as de
sirable as an odorless onion. Some Of
the experts in gardening have obtain
ed seeds of a Chinese cabbage, which
is OdOrless and a great delicacy The
vegetable is attracting attention and
will soon he generally cultivated in this
country.

ferent from the domestic varieties, be

"A vJry interesting meeting

"A vdry interesting meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce was
held last Thursday evening with
the following gentlemen present :
Messrs. Edward Estorge, Fritz
Dietlein. j. p. Suberbielle, S. o.
Nuckolls, Alpine Fontelieu, John
r. Taylor, }. r. Perry, A. Davis,
DR.. II. A. King and M. w. Fisher.
Among the matters of interest to
the community as presented by
Secretary-Manager Bernard was
the efforts being made by him IN
conjunction with the Southern
Pacific Railroad officials to get
hundreds of tourists to enjoy the
stop-over privilege granted by the
railroads, so as to enable those
bound for California during the
big Panama Exposition to stop
off here and visit the Avery Salt
Mines and incidentally see the
advantages Of OUT country at the
same time. 1t is estimated that
there will be not less than 100
persons weekly who will take adj
vantage Of the stop-over prlvl-
leges. Mr.. Bernard has all eady
made arrangements with auto
mobile owners to furnish the nee
essary cars to make the weekly
trips. This will be a big thing
for New Iberia from an advertis-
ing standpoint and few who go
through will let the opportunity
slip to visit these mines which
eclipse anything of that kind in
the world. These tourists
are large spenders and hundreds
of dollars will be spent here pur-
chasing souvenirs Of our Evange-
line country. It is up to our peo-
pie to encourage this movement
as the railroads are issuing thou
sands upon thousands of pamph-
let's advertising these famous
mines and our Teche valley will
receive a great deal Of promi-
hence in the very near future. 1t
has required a great deal OF
hard work on the part Of the Sec,
rotary to make these arrange
ments with the Southern Pacific
system and within the next two
months some excellent results
will be obtained.

DEATH OF MAURICE
SCHARFF.

Yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock sharp the residents Of this
community were terribly shocked
when it became known that Mr..
Maurice Scharff, one of our lead
ing citizens had suddenly passed
away, after only a few days con
finement to his bed with a severe
case Of La Grippe. Only a few
minutes before he expired he was
not only in good spirits. but ex-
pressed his intention Of going
back to his place of business on
Monday morning. A few minutes
later his heart, which was very
weak, failed him, and he expired
despite all the aid that medical
science could give him. Mr..
Scharff with his father. who pre-
ceded him to the grave, came to
New iberia from Plaquemine dur
ing the year 1896 and the business
has up to the present time been
conducted in the name of Mrs. II.
Scharff & Sons, Messrs. Maurice
and julius. Deceased was born
in Montgomery, Alabama forty
four years ago and was bethroth-
ed about seventeen years since to
Miss Lille Kaufman of New
Orleans, who with her three chill
dren, Masters Adolph, Lester
and Janice SUI vive him. He leaves
also besides his mother five
brothers and sisters, namely,
Messrs. Henry Scharff of Jeane-
rette, Max and Louis, now resi-
dents Of Texas, Julius of this City,
Mesdames j. Deisberg and Mrs.
Jack Nussbaum also residents of
the State Of Texas. Deceased
was not only one Of our progress
sive merchants but was an ideal
citizen and father and his sudden
death is deplored by all who
knew him. The funeral has been
arranged to take place in this
City on Sunday morning at 10
o'clock A. M, the remains to be
inferred in the Jewish cemetery
here. The family have sincere
sympathy of the community in
their hour Of distress.
