One of the busiest places in
New iberia during the week was
the New Iberia Corn Shelter and
on Thursday SO many barrels of
corn had passed through the shell
Ter that the management had no
place to store any more Of the
grain. On Tuesday alone twenty
wagon loads was purchased by
Mr.. Suberbielle 1T $1.O0 per bar

from the country until there was
really no place to store any more
of it until some of the shelled corn
was shipped to eastern markets.

gin started operation the early
part of the week to the great de-

planted few acres each, more as
an experiment to see whether the
boil weevils would make their
appearance in any great numbers
this year or not. From what we
learn very little damage was done
to the crop and Messrs. VOORHEES,

bales. The staple is bringing as
much as 5000 a thousand pounds
and those Of our farmers. who
have some for sale will realize
handsomely on what little cotton
they raised this year. The show

the bolls that had matured, but
