South Americans Like Our Pears and
Apples.

Brazil and Argentina together now
take $4,000 barrels of American apples
and $4,000 boxes of American pears
each year, and the trade is growing
steadily, says a report on South Amer.
lean markets for fresh fruits just issued
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, of the department of COM
merce. Trade in other fruits is less i'm
portant, but since the war started,
American products have had the market
to themselves so far as outside eompeti-
tion is concerned and have made very
good impression.
In both Brazil and Argentina the
American apple is supreme in the high
class trade, as it is in all parts of the
world, and its sale is limited only by
the number of people who are able to
pay the rather high prices asked for
it. The American pear is especially
well liked in Brazil and sells well, also,
in Argentina. In Brazil apples and pears
appeal to consumers in much the same
manner that tropical fruits appeal to
Americans, but in Argentina, where the
climate in the main closely resembles
that of the United States, American
fruits of this description sell for two
entirely different reasons, first because
they come during the off season for the
native and New Zealand fruit, and Sec
ond because of their unquestioned quail
ty.
Walter Fischer, author of the bureaus
report, states that practically all of this
trade dates from 1910, the greatest in
crease occurring in 1894, SO that the
war had nothing to do with its early
growth. Since the war started ship
ments from Europe have been largely
cut off, and purchases from the United
States have increased accordingly. Com
petition with the cheaper and lower
grade European fruit will become as
keen as every probably when the war is
over, but the American shipper need have
little fear for his fancy apple and pear
trade. If he loses any of it he will have |
only himself to blame.
The west coast of South America is |
not so good a market for foreign fresh |
ruits as Brazil and Argentina, but the
luthor states that more business can be |
obtained if careful attention is given the
ubject.
Markets for all kinds of fresh fruit
ire discussed in the report and consid-
rable attention is given to the native
ruit- growing industries and the at
empts that have been made to mar
,et South American fruits in North
american markets during the off season

Many women have been annoyed by
having to remove fancy colored buttons
each time dress or delicate colored
suit with them on is washed or dry
cleaned. One ingenious woman, however,
has solved that problem by sewing one
part of heavy snap on the back OF the
button and the other part on the gar
ment, then swapping the button on. The
buttons stay on securely while the gar
ment is being worn, yet they come off
in q moment when they are wanted off.

Canning Outfit Installed

Prof. Frank T. Guilbeau, of the
Breaux Bridge High School,
through the cordial support given
him by Supt. F. o. Chavez, has
put up, for the Demonstration
Farm a small canning outfit.
1t consists of one small boiler, a
scalding basin. two cookers and
Gaping and tipping irons. 1t has
a acapacity of four to eight hun
dred cans per day. The whole
outfit can be put down and loaded
in a small wagon, ready to move
within one hour.
This outfit should be put up by
small club of farmers, say five or
six, and vegetables to last the
whole year round could be put up
in cans at q minimum cost. This
would help, materially, to reduce
The High Cost OF Living. The
plant could be erected at a cost
we'll below one hundred dollars.
Professor Guilbeau has invited
all Club Members, as we'll as any
farmer having any vegetables to
can to bring their stuff to the
plant and they will be put up at
actual cost. OF course the parties
bringing the stuff will have to help
prepare it for canning.
A liberal policy, toward the
Farm. has been adopted by the
School Board, and Superinten-
dant, which will very materially
assist it in giving the practical
agricultural education SO much
needed in our Parish.
The.public is cordially invited
to be present at all canning de-
monstrations.
