Another Convention

New Iberia will entertain the
sheriffs of the State next year,
according to an announcement
from Manager Noel Ut the Cham Der
of Commerce Emile Vuillemot,
District Attorney and an enthusl
astic member of the Chamber OF
Commerce, returned to New Iberia
Thurday morning and saavely
informed the local chamber that
he represented them at the
inauguration of Governor John M.
Parker in Baton Rouge and IN the
name of the good city of New
iberia, Mayor Fl. s. Sealy. The
Women's Council and the Cham
Der of Commerce invited the
sheriffs to New Iberia in 1921 to
hold their first annual convention.
The meeting of the sheriffs was
an impromptu affair but MIR.
Willie mot twice took the floor and
told his auditors that the heart OF
the Sugar Bowl, the Salt Cellar
and the TAbasco pepper box
welcomed them in 1921, with the
result that he secured the conven
Vion.
Before the year has gone many
months into its history the paving
on virtually all the streets will have
been finished and the great White
Way from the Southern Pacific
depot to the Postoffice will be an
old fact, but one which will
make a most favora
bic impression on our visitors.
New iberia needs much outside
advertising and by word of-mouth
and the actual observation of
visitors certainly is one good way
10 get it.

! Conducted by our host
through the grounds to his
residence, we were shown
bamboos which make a
lgrowth Of eight feet in TWEEN
ilty-four hours and attain. a
height of eighty feet. Also,
a number of semi-tropical
trees, vines and plants. From
the residence, which stands
upon an eminence, a magni-
ficent view is given, through
an arch of live oaks, over the
prairie to. two distant towns.
At the residence we we're
shown what Mr.. McIlhenny
calls his million Dollar
Book" a large album con.
tanning photographs of wild
birds in the trees and on wa.
ter, in flight and on their
nests, young and old. These
photos were taken by Mr..
McIlhenny, and among them
are the first ever taken OF
birds in flight. 1t was be-
cause he had established a
private Bird Refuge, where
migratory birds were pro-
tected from hunters, that Mr..
McIlhenny was enabled to
secure these intimate illus.
trations of bird life. With
this book of photographs he
went North and raised one
million dollars for the estab-
lishment of a Rird Refuge on
a large scale, Rockefeller con.
tributing $455, 900 and Mrs
Sage $25O,O00. Large bodies
of land along the Gulf coast
are being secured and soon q
reserve seventy-five miles
long will be established and
placed under State control
The importance of such a re-
fuge is shown by the extermi-
nation of the passenger pig
con, which within my knowl-
edge used to flock in millions.
The aigrets were fast being
exterminated by hunters for
their plumage when a law
was passed penalizing their
killing. Ninety per cent Of
all the aigrets in the country
find a refuge on Avery Is
land, and even then it is me-
cessary to employ two war
dens to keep off the hunters,
for the plumes Of a single
bird are worth $4,000.
The first moving picture OF
birds was taken on this is
land in 1914 by a French
company and proved the first
active step in bird conserva-
ton. Speaking of birds and
movies" by the time this

company OF sixty people will

Birds of Paradise.
Avery Island is also a game
preserve, deer and bear being
plentiful, and "varmints" SO
numerous that the poultry
yard has to be surrounded by
traps for the providers by
night. A big bear hunt, par

Island, the most prominent
feature in Evangeline Land
Technically speaking it is
not an island, for it is not
entirely surrounded by water,
but is a dome 1913 feet high
rising out of a low prairie
about seven feet above sea
lsvel-being the highest point
in the state of Louisiana.
The island comprises 1000
acres and was granted to the
Avery family by the King of
Spain. and has remained in
their possession 1l2 years.
In natural scenic beauty |
have never seen any similar
spot. Rising out of the
prairie, its upward slope is
gradual and It's uncultivated
sides are covered with semi

grandson of the original
owner Of the island, who
courteously conducted us

The poultry yards claimed
first attention. Here we found
nine acres under fence, and
in the enclosure were a giant

different yards, of various

the hen house and yard were
$50 Rhode Island Red hens,
who produced 400 eggs daily.
Mr.. Mc1lhenny started in the
chicken business this year
with thirty hens. He is pre-

Avery Island is a noun
tain of salt. Thirty feet be-
low the surface is found, not
a vein or strata, but a solid
mass of rock salt known by
borings to be 1000 feet in
depth and no bottom found.
During the civil war, when
salt was a scarce article in
the CoEfederacy, the water
from a salt spring on the Is
land was boiled down for the
purpose of securing salt.
Having occasion to clean out
and enlarge the spring, it
was discovered that the bot
tom was a solid rock of salt.
Later on a shaft was sunk
and the salt mined and
ground Uncomfortable shape.
The shaft is now 500 feet
deep and the output 100000
tons annually. There are
also salt mines on the nearby
islands of Jefferson and
Weeks.
Jefferson Island was the
winter home of Joe Jefferson,
which be called "Bob Acres, "
after one of his noted char
acters. In the residence there
hang a number of his paint
Iings, for he was an artist as
well as an actor.

l visited iberia three years
ago in order to learn some
thing about the culture of
sugar cane, as this section of
Louisiana was called The
Sugar Bowl" At that time
sugar cane was sold to the
mills for So SO to $500 per
ton. The crop of 1919 was
sold for an average of $500
per ton, with an average of
fourteen tons to the acre, for
it was a poor crop. While
the price of sugar is high, the
middleman didn't get it all
this time. The cane growers
are certainly honest people,
for / was told they paid up
all their past debts, the mer-
chants being paid open ac-
counts of twenty years stand

come outlawed. New life was
