PECAN TREES OFTEN IN
JURED BY THRASHING.

In gathering pecans care should
be taken not to break the branch
es or injure the fruit buds, ad-
vises B. Szymoniak, associate hor-
ticulturist, Extension Division,
Louisiana State University. The
common custom Of roughly thrash
ing the trees not only reduces the
crop the following season but
the mutilated branches are likely
to be injured by insects and dis
eases. asf sd
Pecans are ready to be gath
cred when the shell is properly
colored and the shuck does not
adhere. The nuts may be brought
down bv shaking the branches OF
by gently tapping the pecan clus,
tiers with q pole. The nuts should
be cured by placing them in shal.
low trays with screen bottoms
and exposed to the sun for two Q!
three days. Green pecans should
not be put in sacks as this may
cause them to heat asd spoil.

LOUISIANA COTTON CROP
GONE TO PIECES.

The cotton crop has gone 10
pieces. This is the key fact at
the close Of the last condition
period, according to John S. Den
nee, field agent for the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates,
in a statement issued this after
noon. The message from the cot
ton fields tells in no unmistakable
terms it's tragic but authentic de-
nouncement.
The percentage condition Of the
crop, as determined by over 500
special reports, bearing an average
date of September 25. is 38, de-
cline of nine points for the month.
The average of deterioration for
the past ten years is 5 points. The
ten-year average of condition is 39
per cent, or 81 points higher than
the present condition of 3S. A
year ago condition was 50.
The condition on September rs
is the lowest in ten years.

of lmters. Last year production
was 5S7,717 bales, two years ago
638, ,729. and the ten-year average
of production is 416,269 bales.
In the spring and early SUM-
mer protracted rains made farm
work almost impossible, and by
the time improvement in the
weather made the cultivation Of
the crop practicable, the cotton
had gotten so badly in the grass
that farmers found it more prof
liable to plow up and plant other
crops. Labor shortage played a
highly important part in acreage
abandonment, which is reported as
heavy.
Boil weevil activities have been
the worst in many years. Army
worms have DESTROYED every leaf
in hundreds of fields, and the
stalks show no sign of vitality.
The crop averages about three
weeks late, and about 80 per cent
of it is reported as picked to date.

FIRM WILL EN-.
LARGE FLOOR SPACE.

A change in real estate that will
result in our City being improved
with another brick structure next
spring was the taking over by the
New Iberia Hardware Co. Of the
site adjoining their present store.
occupied as the Lejeune Garage.
The lot measures thirty-one feet
front by one hundred and fifty in
depth. The purchase price was
$55OO.0O. It is the intention OF
the firm to erect brick building
thereon the entire depth of the lot
to their warehouse on iberia 81.
This business corporation, com
posed of Messrs. Alexis Voorhles
and his two sons. Francis j. and
Sidney voorhies was launched IN
a modest way about seven years
ago, and to-day with the acqnisi-
ton Of a large warehouse on lbe-
ria Street they have not near SUI
flcient room to display their i'm
mense line of hardware and farm
Implements which they are offer
ing to their customers.
Aside from the painstaking and
courteous manner in which their
business has been conducted un-
der the management Of Mr. Fran
els voorhies. they have been ex-
tensive advertisers and users OF
printers ink, and in this way they
are well-knovn in South Louisi-
ana, and especially with the plant
ers and farmers. just as soon
as the new building is completed
they will be in position to double
their stock which is necessary in
order to meet the demands Of the

They drink it in small cups, just as
we drink after-dinner coffee. with only
sugar. It is more used tnan any otner

But in the United States, the
browning of coffee is not done well
enough, nor frequently enough. The
Brazilians roast their coffee grains
very brown In ST. Paul have a ia

US TO coffee indulgence is not seen in

lishman, or has become "English-hed q"
as the Portuguese idiom goes.
"Of course, in saying one is Eng
lish," Dr. Hazlett says, the people
make no distinction between England
and North America. Everyone is Eng
lish who speaks English.
Before the DAYS Of the republic.
during my first stay Of FIVE years IN
Brazil. there was no such thing as a
saloon. All intoxicants were sold AT
the grocery store, the same as NO
lasses, vinegar and sugar. without a IL
cense, and no one was allowed to drink
on the premises. Since the republic
has been formed. I believe, in the larg-
er cities, they do issue licenses and
have saloons, but moderation Is always
prachced.
Many persons in Brazil hold pro-
nounced views against the use Of IN
toxicants, not from any moral OF re-
Hgious feeling. but simply because o.
the bad effect Of liquor on the human
body in that climate. The economic
phase Of the question has never been
taken UP, I believe, but a recent writ
er of a history Of Brazil cites the
growing conviction that the Brazilian
should abstain because Of the climate
and the effect on the physique.
