ficers find that the cost will run
considerable over that it is prob
able that another meeting will
be held to ascertain if the mem
bers of the church sanctify it.
The meeting Friday evening
was we'll attended considering
the threatening weather and was
fairly representative of all the
members. The sentiment was
strong in favor of building. Pre-
llminary plans Of the building
were sketched on blackboard
by p, p. kilstofte and criticism
was invited. Several good sug-
gestions for Improvement were
offered and the officers of the
church would like to have more
before the plans are definitely
decided upon. Plans are in the
hands of the officers and will be
gladly shown to anyone inter-
ested.
There was some talk of brick
veneering the parsonage. the
same as the church, which would
make it harmonize and look pref
ty. The meeting was in favor of
this providing the difference in
cost is not too great.
Louis Olsen, one of the dele
gates from here to the. annual
church conference which was
held at Des Moines. Iowa, this
year. gave a good report from the
meeting. The treasurer's quar-
terly report Of the local church
was also read.

alton of Michigan has fixed prices
for inspected certified seed as
follows; ] to 10 bu. $2.75 per bu.,
10 to 100 bu. $3.50 per bu., 100
or more bu. 1925 per bu. We
suggest that all interested in
higher yielding and more profit
able rye notify the Farm Bureau
at once. Combinations of small
orders can be made so as to get
the lowest prices. Samples of
Rosen rye can be seen at the
Farm Bureau office. Sacks and
freight would be extra and 25oc
cash must accompany the order.
Mr.. Martin of Hinckley sowed
two bushels last fall and he says
it is way ahead of the common
rye.
County Exhibit at State Fair.
That Pine County grows A-No.
l products is an established fact,
but whether or not we get near
the front in the State Fair con-
test this fall depends on whether
or not the best of our products
are on display. Mr.. Poferl, Pine
City. has charge of the exhibit.
Everyone interested in Pine
County should save the best corn,
grain, wild and tame grasses, po-
tatoes, vegetables, fruit etc. that
they find. Submit these to Mr..
Poferl so that he can put up an
attractive booth from the best
we produce in Pine County.
Potato Inspection and
CertificatiOn.
The cost of potato certification
is best explained by an example.
Suppose Mr.. A has 8 acres of po-
tatoes for certification. His ex-
pense would be as follows:
First inspection in field, 8
acres SOC each, 81.
Second inspection at time of
digging or soon after, 8 acres 81
each, So.
Tag fee per cwt. 6 acres yield
ing 1900 bu. or $500 lbs.) would
cost $3.50.
Total cost $21.6O.
In this case the inspection
would cost the farmer about one
and one third cent per bushel.
Fields not passing the first in
spection are not visited again.
The object of these inspections
lis to determine whether or not
the field is all one variety, the
health and vigor of the plants,
and what diseases, if any, are
present. If there are only few
other varieties or diseased plants.
these can be pulled out.

With common brick bringing as

can see no reason why some OF
our capitalists do not invest IN a

We have soil specially adapted
for brick making, and when we
take into consideration that COM
mon brick has to be transported
to our City from Lake Charles,
Plaquemine. Slidell or Breaux
Bridge. paying heavy cost of trans
portation we cannot understand
why some one familiar with brick
manufacture does not organize a

several new buildings erected in
our City during 1920 and there is
a great opportunity presented for
the sale Of every brick that is
manufactured right here in our
own midst at fabulous prices.
New iberia needs an industry OF
this kind ABOUT as bad as anything
we can think of at the present
time. All alono the banks of the
