Mr.. Sidney G. Gary Of the
Estorge Drug Co. is now full
Hedgcd pharmacist. The young
gentleman received his diploma
last week and we are informed
graduated with high houors. He
is a deserving young man and has
worked his way up from the bot
tom in this establishment.
Died. at his residence on
Hopkins Street in this City ON
Friday. April 9th, 1917, the
venerable Mr.. Emile Mason, ST.,
native of France. Deceased was
in his eighty-sccond year and
leaves a large number Of descend
ants to mourn his death. His
funeral will 'bc held from St
Peter church this morning at

Again we wish to call the at
tention of our people to the i'm
portance of stocking their farms
with sufficient milk cows to sup
ply butter fat to the New Iberia
Creamery. This institution de
serves the patronage OF our cltl-
zenS if they ever hope to see it
take its rank as one of the lead
ing industries of this country.
The truth of the matter is that
milk and butter fat should be so
plentiful in this country that our
Parish could be able to maintain
protitably three creamerieS instead
of one. Mr.. Helcambre, the man
ager is now paying as much as
forty-tWo cents per pound for but
ter fat and vet this institution IS
suffering for raw products. When
taken into consideration the milk
when the butter fat is removed
has a feeding value Of not less
than Sc per gallon which the
farmer retains to feed his hogs,
we cannot understand why SO few
are inclined to sell the creamery
this much needed article. Tins
affords the farmer an excellent
chance to raise pork for the
market and both could be done
very adyantageously. The Plant
will soon begin manufacturing ice
cream ss formerly and it is hoped
will be literally encouraged.

This week witnessed active
operations on the part of the En-
terprise Oil Company in charge
Of Mr.. Edmond G. Boutte. The
necessary machinery having ar
rived it is now being set up pre-
paratory to the drilling. This
will be begun about Wednesday,
as soon as the officials can get a
carload of coal on the ground.
This Company undoubtedly has
the best drilling outfit ever
brought to Louisiana and if there
is oil at that spot, Mr.. Boutte
will bring it to the surface. In
the field proper, near New Iberia,
drilling is going on constantly
and it is said the indications are
very good now that they know
where the salt domes are located.
There has been but little land
changing hands recently, though
this week it is reported one ne
gotiation involved $16000.00. I
Within the next ten days a good
producer ought to be brought in to
insure the success Of our field. |
While there are a few of our PEG
pie who seem pessimistic in so far
as It's early development is con-
cerned there are others that are
still hopeful the Iberia field will |
soon prove the largest in the
South. 70. -
