NEW IBERIA RECEIVING
MUCH NOTORIETY

Even papers as far East as New

the oil situation near our little
City. In the last number Of the

the other day a flowing well
which may yet develop into a
gusher. The flow, which is ac-
companied by a heavy gas pres
sure, goes considerably over the
top Of the pipe. 1t has steadily
increased since last night, and is
now estimated at about 1000 bar
rels. The oil coming from the
well, which is $500 feet deep, is
of high grade, weighing slightly
over 26 gravity.
Since the first news was
flashed to New Iberia and sur
rounding towns the other night
there has been continuous
stream of automobiles filed With
people going TO the field, and the
excitement that followed the
bringing in Of Bolivcr No. by
the New Iberia Company three
months ago is being duplicated.
At the Enterprise well, with
in the city limits on the VOORHEES,

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys. they
become overworked, get sluggish, ache, and feel
like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy,
the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged
to seek relief two or three times during the night
When the kidneys clog you must bel them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real
sick person shortly. At first you feel dull
misery in the kidney region, you suffer. from

SPRING WHEATIS
RUSHED TO FARMERS
Grain Exchange Has Handled
Ten Carloads, Five Being
from Minnesota.
OUTLOOK Is NOT so BAD

Spring wheat for the purpose OF re-
seeding the fields OF Nebraska con-
tinues to 60 forward TO be distributed
among the farmers. So far the
Omaha Grain exchange has handled
ten carloads, five having come in
from Minnesota and the balance
gathered up out of Omaha elevators
and from points in the state.
The shipments made through the
Omaha Grain exchange, however,
constitutes only a portion of the
spring wheat that has gone to the
farmers. Secretary Manchester OF
the exchange has been able to get in
touch with the situation and learns
that all over the state elevator men
and millers have taken hold OF the
seed proposition. Where they have
had spring wheat on hand they have
distributed the seed among the farm
ers and in number OF instances they
have bought wheat outside and had
1t shipped in.
Bushel to the Acre.
1t Is figured that the shipments out
OF Omaha aggregate something like
$4,000 bushels, and that this will seed
close to $4,000 acres, the understand
ing being that as a rule farmers are
sowing bushcl, or a little more, to
the acre.
Numerous reports are reaching the
Omaha Grain exchange, indicating
that the wheat crop outlook is not as
serious as indicated heretofore. Many
of the grain and elevator men are
writing and wiring in, saying that in
numerous fields where the wheat
plant was apparently dead the few
warm days have caused it to show
considerable green and take on APP
parent life. 1t is conceded that
warm rain within the next few days
would work wonders In many fields.
As result, and hoping for the COM
ing of rain, it is asserted that in many
localities farmers have discontinued
blowing up their fields and are going
to wait and see what few days will
bring forth. They say they can af-
ford to wait, for if it should develop
that the wheat has been killed there
will be plenty of time for fitting the
ground and planting it to corn.
