Under normal conditions it
may be considered late to. make
paintings Of corn but under the
conditions now existing, namely
a drowth effecting the early corn,
the war situation, and the short
age Of food and feed crops; it
would be advisable for every
farmer whose early corn has
been effected by the drouth to
any where from IS to Is per cent.
as is the case in most sections, to
cut down the corn and feed it to
live stock and make new plant
ing of corn.
Mexican june Corn Not
Absolutely Necessary.
In cases where the Legunda
Mexican June Corn can be had
at q reasonable price, it is adj
visable to plant this variety Of
corn for best results. But where
June corn cannot be had any good
variety Of corn planted up to July
18th can be expected to give a
fair yield and to amply repay for
the seed and labor expended.
And for that matter, if the corn
only gave the slower for feeding.
those pl nting now would have
all to gain and nothing to loose.
Do not hesitate. Plant now. If
you cannot buy any other seed
plant the corn from your own
corn which gave you the best
yields last year. Be careful to
select seed which are not weevil
eaten. Plant thick but shallow.
Plant even though You expect il
to rain and if it does rain and q
crust forms on the land run the
harrow. Do not forget that Soy
beans, COW peas may be planted
until July 18th with good results.

RED CROSS WEEK.

Tn Wednesday laSC, Cne 4Cl
Of July, Iberia Chapter Of tn
American Red Cross Society ear

realized from the days program
was about $4,000, a snug little
sum. In Red Cross subscriptions
already something like $3.384.55
has been raised in the Parish
which will be augmented by an
additional $3.50 to be paid by the
Board Of Trustees during the
month of August. We &c not
know how much our sister town
Of Jeanerette raised for this fund,
but we are told it runs into four
numbers also. As a whole we
believe when all the subscriptions .
are in, Iberia Parish will have !
done as well as any other Parish

FOURTH OF JULY ENTER
TAINMENT.

Never in the history Of the town
has New Iberia been so stirred
up to such a state Of enthusiasm
as was every where evident OH
Wednesday, this eventful 4th
of July.
The parade some two miles
long would have (for beauty ana
design done credit to city twice
the size of New Iberia.
The climax Of it all however,
was the entertainment at the
Elks Theatre at night. 1t was
an occasion when there were no
divisions Of sect or creed or caste
but all worked in beautiful
harmony for the cause dear to
all humanity, "The Red Cross

pardonable patriotism rent the
air with various kinds Of noise
accompanied by stamping of feet
and clapping Of hands, but, when
the curtain went up there was
no fault to be found with the
self same boys, who punctuated
every number with just the kind
of applause it merited in their
opinion.
The first number was a Fairy
and Butterfly drill in which 70
lovely little girls participated. 1t
was an affair Of the Fairies you
know. lit must have been) for
there were so many of them there
and they were SO beautiful and
bewitching as we imagine fairies
always are. After a well exc

and stood at attention with their
magic wands poised in air, for

DOTNGS OF THE POLICE
JURY.

The Police Jury at it's session
last Thursday transacted a grea
deal Of business, and with tn
exception Of Mr.. A. j. Gary VIII
had been called to Texas, the en-
tire personnel Of the Jury wer'
present. One of the first matter
to come up was the condition Of
the highway that leads to Jetfer
son's Island, a stretch of abou.
three miles said to be badly in
need of immediate attention
Hon. E. A. McIlhenny said the
work would cost about $70C per
mile and that he would, if the
Jury consented, perform all of
the work and accept Parish war
rants in payment for the cash dis
bursed by him in having the
work properly executed. After
general discussion on the part
of the members, President Theriot
on behalf of the Jury called Mr..
McIlhenny's attention to the fact
that the Parish had been divided
into road districts and the prop
erty holders Of each Ward must
vote special taxes to build roads,
otherwise it would be an injus-
tice to take money from the treas
ury to pay for the building of
roads in Wards that did not vote
special taxes. He advised Mr..
McIlhenny to get busy and have
the tax voted as the Police Jury
did not have the money and aside
from that it was contrary to the
present plans of the Jury when
road districts had been established
in nearly every Ward.
The next thing taken up at the
meeting was the election Of a
Secretary and Treasurer for the
Parish, the law making it COM
pulsory that reelection take place
every year. This important po-
sition is being filed by Mr.. Pierre
Jubin. There were four applica-
tions for the office, namely Messrs.
Pierre Jubin, Chas. Bassin, A. G.
Pickett and A. A. Dauterive. A
vote being recorded, Mr.. Bassin
was declared elected for the en-
suing year.
The next business taken up was
the selection Of Parish printer.
There were three applications
read, one from the Coast Herali |
Of Jeanerette, another from the /
Iberian and the other The New /
Iberia Enterprise. On the first
ballot the vote stood, Iberian two.
Coast Herald three, Enterprise
Ave. The Iberian receiving the
smallest number was then
dropped from the contest and a
vote ordered between the two
highest. This resulted in the
Herald adding one more vote to
its count, making four. the othe-
six going to the Enterprise.
After the election We editor
thanked the members of the Jury
for the compliment paid to The
Enterprise and it will again as
sumo the responsibility of serving
the people in the capacity Of Off
cial journal. I
There was only one application
for the position Of Janitor to the
Court House and that was from
Mr.. John 0 'Brien, the present en-
sumbent. He furnished recon-
from all Of the Court
officials and was reelected by ac-
clamation.
Several other transactions of i
Importance were consummated
which will appear in the proceed {
ings when they are handed to us
By the Secretary.
