take care of the different industrial
and civic work of the organization

The enthusiasm of the meeting
was heightened by a report from
Secretary Palmer of the work that
has been done to interest shipbuild-
ers to locate in this section. 1t seems
evident from the report that Morgan
City and Berwick are destined to
come into early and extensive prom
incnce in such undertakings, as
there are at this time three concern:
OF considerable dimension interest
ed in the shipyard sites in this vicin

one of the three and perhaps all OF
them may locate here. The Secre
tary also reported an increasing
mass of inquiries coming to his hant
from cities, firms and individuals
who are interested for different rea
sons in this section. A glimmer Of
the possibilities and usefulness of {
Chamber of Commerce is beginning
to be appreciated and the future sui
cess and activity of the newly re
organized body seems assured.

RUBBER HEEL ON SHOE
DISCHARGES CARTRIDGE

Arthur Wilson, a Morgan City
negro, SO years old, who has been
in Gretna since Monday as witness
in the case of Victor Jones, who wa;
tried for the murder of former Sen
ator Brady, met with a peculiar &C
cident while walking along Second
street, near Lavosier, Tuesday at
O'Clock.
Wilson wore rubber heels on {.
pair of new shoes and stepped on
what apparently was a dynamite
cap, which exploded. Parts of the me
tai tore through the heels of the
shoe, entered the heel. He was adj
vised to see a doctor to avoid poison
ing
1t is believed that nail used in
fastening the rubber heel to the
shoe came in contact with the ex.
plosive cartridge A small hole was
made in the brick also.

While in New iberia one day last
week we visited the office OF the big
paper pulp plant now being built on
the Gebbert Single mill site. We
found a Jeanerette boy. our young
friend A. C. Bernard, in charge as
general manager of the concern.
Mr.. Bernard very courteously show
ed us over the plant. The work is
being delayed because of trouble in
getting the machinery shipped on
account of freight congestion on
the railroads. However, several
large buildings are in course of con-
struction and Mr.. Bernard has a
large shed filled with rice straw and
another with bagasse and cotton
stalks. They hope to get the plant
in operation during the summer
For the present no paper will be
manufactured; the raw material
will be made into block pulp and
shipped north to the paper mills
Later they expect to turn out finish
ed products at tie New iberia plant
This is great enterprise and New
Iberia was fortunate to secure Its
location. 1t is only fair too to say
that it was largely through Mr.
Bernard's efforts while secretary OF
the Board of Trade that the big fac
tory was secured for the twon.-

SAVING THE TuRNIP CROP"

Turnips will play an important part in the fall. winter and spring supply of vegetables from the nome garden. and the market gardeners usually make heavy plantings. Now is the time to plant them, and now is the time to make preparations to save the crop from destruction by Aphis tPlant Lice). For the past sew aral years it has been practically inpossible to grow good crop If turnips because of the de- ,ruction wrought by this pest, 5rdeed the turnip crop in many
 laces was entirely wiped out Last fall.

At least 50 per cent of the feed ing value of the plant is in the leaves,
 Start to picking the cottton crop early. Very often the mis- take is made of waiting until the entire crop is open before pick ing is started. Whenever there Is much open cotton in the field some of it will drop off on the ground where it will be damaged, especially if it rains. A great deal is lost every year because part of the lint is allowed to fall off on the ground, due to not pushing the picking. With the price of cotton this year the farmers can afford to use every precaution to save the crop in as good condition as possible.

winter grazing crop.

WlNteT RTdZtns CTOp.
 The cotton middles on at least a few acres should be sown to wheat, oats or rye. It will cut out much of the feed bill for the horse, mule and COW.
 Extra care should be taken this season to save the clover. alfalfa and pea crops in good shape. Because of the large amount of water that the stems of these crops contain, they are always hard to cure. When cut with the mower they should be raked up into windrows just as soon as the leaves begin to wilt. The water in the stem goes out by evaporation through the leaves. If the plants are al lowed t, lay on the ground in the swath until the leaves are bleached and burned in the sun the evaporation cannot take place and the stems dry out slow. ly. In addition to the slow cur. ing many of the leaves are lost.

PASs' 5 WEEKLY LETTER

During August and September 1.-the farmer should find time to provide feed for the late fall and winter months. Many farmers have few hogs for killing pur- poses. Store feed iss so high priced that it is almost prohibi- tive. The only cheap feed that can be had this year is pasture, land it cannot be had in most in- stances unless planting is done during this month and next.
 Nothing will make more hog
 pasture than rape, if it is seed ed on good soil and especially on soil that is inclined to be a little moist. An acre of rape ought
 10 furnish one-half the pasture
 Tor five or six one-hundred pound
 shoats throughout the entire win-
 ter. The seed of rape is compar- atlvely cheap. which is a big Item this season. Rape makes a splendid mixture with red rust proof oats or winter wheat as a

The first step to take in corn- batting the pest is to abandon the old method of planting tur- nips broadcast. Sow them rat her thinly in drills about two and one.half feet apart and give shallow culture when the plants are small. If this is not done 1t will be almost impossible to do anything to stop the spread of the Aphis when they once start.
 We are fortunate in having a sure remedy for this pest if very thoroughly applied at the right time, and the right time is when the insects first begin to appear and before the leaves have curl ed or folded back. If you wait until that happens no remedy can be successfully applied. The remedy is Sulphate of Nicotine (known to the trade as Black Leaf 4O). The writer has never known remedy that is so easily applied and so effective in it's re- suits as this one.
 Equip ::yourself with a small hand spray pump. and have your druggist get the material for you and you are ready to make cer- tain war on the destructive Aphis. It is always best to use dissolved soap in conjunction with the spray solution to facili- tate it's spreading and sticking qualities.
 Below we give directions for preparing the spray solution:
 To make one gallon of spray use teaspoonful Black Leaf 40. one ounce dissolved soap. to make 5 gallons of spray use 5 teaspoonful Black Leaf 40. four ounces dissolved soap, to make 50 gallons of spray use 6 fluid ounces Black Leaf 40. one and one-half to two and one-half pounds dissolved soap; to make 100 gallons of spray use F fluid ounces Black Leaf 40, three to our pounds dissolved soap.
 No hot water nor boiling is re- quired except to dissolve the soap: any ordinary laundry soap, or home made soap will do.
 This remedy will not, injure. the plants in the least and will

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is blood or constitutional disease and in order to cure it you must take inter- nal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces Halls Catarrh Cure is not quick med icine. It was prescribed by one of the pest physicians in this country for years and is regular prescription. It $ composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers. acting directly on the mucous surfaces. fhe perfect combination of the two in- grsdients is what produces such won derful results in curing catarrh.

 Mir. Woeck stated this morning that he will make his arrangements in Seattle and will return here to start excavating as soon as the weath. CT permits. You can say for me that I shall purchase all supplies, material. and hire my labor in the local market as far as possible. That is, I shall make all purchases possi. ble here where l can get as good rates as l could by purchasing in the open market" he said
 Mir. Woeck made another eXamina. ton of the site this morning to ag. certain just how much of the work could be done without interfering with the present building and stated that the greater part of the eXcava. ton can be finished before the close of school on April 25th, if the weath. CT permits.

Meat has taken a raise in price. The local markets were notified re- gently that the price on all kinds of cooking meats. except prepared meats and poultry, would be raised five cents per pound without further mo- tice The raise is immediately ef- fective.
 Arthur J. Ficken, manager of the Frye.Bruhn Market stated today that the price is up to stay and that the housewives of Juneau can never eX. pect the prices to return to the old level
 "The packers have notified us that the supply is limited and that it is impossible to meet the demand at the old prices" said Mir. FicEen. "The prices have been going up at such rapid rate that at present we are just barely breaking even on our business, and it will be impossi- ble to make profit at the old rates. If the present conditions prevail much longer 1t will mean another raise within a short time, but that may not be necessary as the supply may become larger or foreign mar kets which are at present taking much meat, may be cut off from the United States"
