IPERIAN'S INVENTION RE-
CEIVES ENCONIUM IN
POPULAR MAGAZINE.

Mr.. James L. Markham, a
young gentleman Of this City has
received some fattering com
ments from the Popular Me
chanics anent his recent invention
with which to remove stale water
from cisterns. Mr.. Markham has
applied for a patent through his
attorneys, L. F. Randolph & Co.
at Washington and expects to re
ceive it in a few weeks. We re-
produce the article in full, as 1t
appeared in a recent number:
IAN objection to the old-time
cistern, used to retain rain water
from the roof, was that sediment
and stale water sank to the bot
tom, and there remained, undis-
turbed by occasional replenish-
ments Of the supply. But this
fault can now be corrected,
those who still use cisterns will
be interested to know. by the IN
stallation of a simple circulating
apparatus of recent invention.
This consists in principle of a T.
shaped pipe, inverted. One arm
of the "U" extends vertically
downward to the bottom Of the
cistern, where it branches out
into eight radial pipes with many
intake holes. Obviously, when a
raises the water level
higher than the horizontal mid
section of the "U," the stale wat
nr on the bottom will rise in the
the first arm of the pipe. and
hen escape to the drain down the
second. The mid-section Of the
pipe is provided with an air out.
ct, to prevent complete emptying
# the cistern by a siphoning ac-
ion."

MAKE IMPASSABLE HOLES
PASSABLE.

Complaints continue to reach
this office Of a number Of bog holes
in different sections Of the Par
ish that require immediate at
tention. Almost daily we hear
comments about a. bog hole near
Delcambre and another at Sc
gura that should be repaired be-
fore another rain spell settles
over this section. The business
of New Iberia has suffered the
loss of thousands of dollars III
trade as a consequence Of i'm
passable roads. Would it not be
a good idea for our business men
to take immediate steps to or
ganize themselves into a road
committee with one object in view
solely and that is to have every
bad spot fixed before winter sets
in. A few hundred dollars prop
erly expended would enable a
committee to watch over every
highway leading into this City
and keep them in a passable shape
until the roads are graveled. The
owners Of automobiles themselves
could launch an organization
made up of every user of car
and subscription of $1.00 on the
part of every one could be used
for that purpose. The loss Of
trade to New Iberia as stated
numerous times in these columns
run into the thousands Of dol
lars. Aside from that the great
injury done the autos that at
tempt to reach those sections Of
the Parish that have impossible
holes in the roads, amply justifies
our people in forming such an or
ganization. 1t does not require
much effort to form such an or
ganization if some one will only
take the lead. Make impossible
places passable" should be the
slogan until every highway lead
ing into New Iberia is fit to
travel.
Our sister town of Lafayette,
Abbeville and even ST. Martin
Vile draw business that formerly
came to New iberia. There IS
only one reason for it and that is
because of the great hardship in
our City. What is the
lse of raising money to invite in
lustries here when we permit
of thousands Of dollars
n trade to be lost to other towns.
few hundred dollars properly
expended would be incalculable
n the way Of additional business e

THE AMERICAN COFFEE
BEAN.

We were recently handed a cir
cular issued by a firm in South
ern Georgia giving full details
and particulars Of the American
Coffee Bean and how it should be
cultivated. 1t will be remem-
bered on several occasions we
called the attention of our read
ers to the introduction Of this
wonderful coffee bean in this Par
ish by our fellow-c citizen, Mr.. A..
G.. Barrow. This gentleman i'm
ported some of the seed here and
raised quite a nice crop jointly
with Hon. Paul Bryant this year
and it is their intention to re-
plant in season, so as to grow cot
fee for the American market.
The crop is an easy one to grow
and natures in about 4 months.
The planting should be done in
April and the harvesting about
the LIST of September. The gen.
eral average of pods to bush is
about fifty. The circular issued
bv the American Coffee Bean
Company shows the subjoined
analysis. and contains besides,
some other valuable information,
that should be interesting to our
farmers:
"This bean when roasted and
ground as you do coffee, makes
even better coffee than the i'm
ported article. 1t is rich with
protein ard therefore highly
nourishimg and has most de-
lightful fiavor-smoothe, and oh,
how good. 1t contains no caffein.
In addition to its merits as cof-
fee, it is a great land builder. Be-
ing legume it feeds largely on
the nitrogen in the air and de-
posts the same in the soil, thus
ITCH land out Of poor. u
is first class stock bean. Ground |
pod and beans as it is picked from /,
the bush into meal and mixed |
with corn and cotton seed meal
it makes the best balanced, and
best food for all kinds
IF stock. After picking the beans
.or market, the foliage is cut,
cured and fed to stock.
Note the Georgia State Analysis
f the beans and leaves following.
t has no vines to care for, but
lands up on its own stalk (bush
lke) as cotton.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-09-25

The Bean should be planted in
rows 4 feet apart. and should be
placed one in hill, 2 feet apart.
The fertilization and cultivation
should be about as cotton. They
will begin to ripen in three
months: in four months the crop
should be gathered, thrashed out
and sacked ready for market.
After gathering and marketing
the crop Of beans, the bushes will
be green and as full Of leaves as
in midsummer, ready to put as
hay; put in silos, or hogged down.
Don't plant until you are safe
from frosts- SAY May 10TH"
