ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
NEARING COMPLETION

Floods and washouts have no terror
tor DR.. d. T. Teal. This fact is evil
dent when it is known that it is ex-
pected that within the next two weeks
steady flow of electricity will be
coming from the new water ttrbine
at Teaps Mill.
The new 13O-horse power turbine
is in position and. in another fort
night the cement sluice-ways will
have set and the water will be turned
IN. The present condition of the main
lam will not interfere with this new
turbine. With the installation of
this machinery a governing system
will be in operation, which will insure
steady current, no matter how un.
steady the use of the current at this
end. Thus, when a twenty-horse
power motor is started there will be
no diminishing of lights, nor will the
machinery race" when the consump-
ton is suddenly cut down.
Arrangements are under way
whereby it is hoped the roadway and
big dam will soon be restored. By the
time this is accomplished second
turbine will be ready for installation.
This will increase the capacity to
many times what it has ever been be-
fore. DR.. Teal has about completed
arrangements with an electrical engi.
neer who will take charge of all de-
partments and whose knowledge and
ability will insure results.
Just as soon after the new water
wheel is running that capable cleo
trican can be obtained day and night
current will be supplied.
1t is Dr. Teal's intention to give
Chesterfield and in fact other sections
lighting system second to none, and,
judging by the determination with
which he has met and overcome the
obstacles that have lately accumu-
lated IN his path, he will succeed.

POISON FOR THE BOIL WEEVIL

One would hardly expect to find in
the Congressional Record a remedy
for the boil weevil, but in a late is
sue of that windy daily is a method
of exterminating the cotton boil
Weevil. Senator Ransdell, of Louisi-
ana, made statements regarding the
new method that are convnc-
ing. He says that a remedy for the
boil weevil has been discovered in a
poison known as calcium arsenate
Some Of the largest planters in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana are using the
remedy extensively and with perfect
success. Prof. j. w. Fox, of Scott,
Miss, is general manager of the larg-
est cotton plantation in the world.
There are $4,000 acres of cotton in
cultivation in this one plantation.
Prof. Scott says:
81 am now ready to say unquali-
fiedly that this poison will control the
boil weevil at a cost which is not pro-
hibitive."
One of the largest cotton planters
in Louisian is Mr.. George S. Yerger.
He says: II have been applying cal
cium arsenate poison and am delight
ed to report that where the boil wevil
infested number of my fields as
high as AZ per cent. have been able
TO reduce that average to per cent"
Senator Ransdell closed his re-
marks with these statements:
while the experiment has been
pretty thoroughly tested, as was stat
ed by the Senator from Mississippi,
in the rich, lowlands of the Mississip-
pi Delta, where cotton grows very
high and vegetation is rank, it has ont
been tested experimentally so as to
direct people how to carry on the
poisoning in the hill section, and it
is desired to have some additional ap-
preparation for that purpose. l hope
the Secretary of Agriculture will re-
quest it in his next recommendation to
Congress and that he will be given
whatever Is required.
Before sitting down wish to
add that personally am conducting
this expirement myself on 400 acres
Of my cotton this year. My manager
Thomas II. Estes, and his assistant
Curtis GTayson, have written me q
number of times in the. last few
weeks in the most encouraging man.
ner telling me about how they have
reduced the infestation of the boil
weevil and how nicely the cotton is
getting along under the poisoning
process, much better than where i,
has not been poisoned. Hence fee
that l have derived very great per
sonal benefit from the application Of
this poison and wish the peopl,
throughout the cotton belt coult
know about It."

LUCAS CAPTURES
THE OVERLAND

Once more The Lucas Auto Com
pany has demonstrated its right to a
front-rank position among wide awake
hustlers. This time Mr. Lucas comes
up smiling with the announcement
that he has obtained the agency for
Chesterfield and immediate vicinity
for the Overland Four.
The new Model Overland embraces
all the good points of the older models
in combinations with many new ad-
vantagcs that are to be found only on
cars of much higher price. An en-
tirely new transmission and spring
suspension systems are among the
later refinements. With the acquisi
ton of this car The Lucas Auto Com
plete line.
In point of price the Overland
starts at the bottom selling for some
where around the $500 mark. Next
comes the new Model bort, at some
thing like $1l00. Then comes the
Chalmers. A car load of these cars
are now on the road and all Of them
are expected by the middle of this
month, some of them any day.

STREET PAVING CONTRACT
SIGNED.

On Monday last Mr.. K. M. HyamS
representing the Southern Bithuietic Com
pany made his appearance here upon re-
quest of Mayor Sealy to sign up for the
paving of upper Main Street. The con-
tract as signed, calls for some twelve
thousand yards Of bithuletic. Just as soon
as the material can be secured the work
of Improving Main Street will begin IN
earnest The contractors for the Vitrifled
Brick paving which is TO be put down
from the Post Office in East End to the
Southern Pacific Depot will be signed up
by the City officials as soon as the proper
person representing the Company reaches
New Iberia. In the next thirty or forty
days this internal improvement that our
people have been awaiting these many
years will De under full Roadway. We
learn that the owners of property on st.
Peter Street are petitioning for gravel
from one end to the other. On upper
Main, St Peter and one or two other
avenues a certain distance will be staked
out as neutral ground. In most instances,
from what we learn it has been decided
to embellsh the streets and neutral ground
will be laid off in the center of each
street The residents of Center Street are
all hopeful of having neutral ground
in the center sufficiently large to leave
roadway on either side, about fifteen feet
in width. On this neutral ground it is
proposed to plant oak or other shade trees
that in few years will make of it one
of the prettiest avenues in New Iberia.
No better idea could be put forward than
the planting Of shade trees wherever their
is an available place and we trust this fea-
ture of the improvement program will not
be overlooked.
