The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1921-09-24

The Iberian received Thursday
morning a communication from the
II. S. Government Engineer Corps,
stating that their boat Hyaclnth VIII
be in the Bayou Teche within a lew
DAYS spraying the water lilies, ana
warning all owners Of livestock 70
keep their animals away from the
water while spraying is gong on, so
that they may not become poisoned
from the chemicals used to XIII the
lilies.
This spraying process has been go
ING on at intervals for several years,
at a great expense to the govern
ment, and in the opinion OF many
students of the proposition, very lit
tie good has been accomplished.
For the past few weeks the bayou
has been in worse condition than
ever before in the memory OF the
cold timers" living here.
We cross the city bridge at least
four times each day, and for at least
three weeks we have never been
able to see patch of water as
much as ten feet in diameter, the
surface Of the bayou being entirely
covered with lilies as far as one can
see in either direction.
If after the several years that the
spraying or poisoning process has
been used, the condition is worse than
ever before, it would appear to us
that some other method should receive
consideration from the Government
engineering corps.
The water lily is strictly a water
plant, the leaf and flower drawing
their sustenance from a bulb that
hangs well under the surface of the
water. The poison sprayed on the

Killing The Water Lilies.

plants has the effect Of whitening the
leaves, and to some extent killing
the exposed portion of the lily, but
the poison does not penetrate below
the surface of the stream sufficiently
to affect the bulb and roots. The re-
suit is that the top may die, but the
roots live, and send up new plants to
block the channel of the stream.
We are acquainted with the work
done by the Castell Land and Har-
Dor Company, owners OF large
tract of land in Terribonne Parish,
below Avoca Island This tract IS
traversed by several bayous, having a
total Of perhaps seventy five miles OF
navigable bayous within its hundred
and fifty thousand acres.
Some time back Mr.. William Cas-
tell, president Of this company, de
termined to rid his land from these
water pests, and he did 50, at an ex-
pense of about thirty thousand dol
lars, but since that time he has not
been bothered at all.
We would suggest that those par
ticularly interested might communi-
cate with Mr.. Castell, in New Or
leans. and get the particulars of his
method.
To go on from year to year de
pending on the spraying process OF
the government is worse than 2
waste of time and money, and in the
meantime water traffic is practically
at a standstill, thus losing to New
Iberia one of her chief advantages
and seriously Gripping some of our
leading industries.

FEEDING ADVISED FOR CORN
GROWER

Fargo, N. D. Aug.9-Feeding
sheep and "hogging off" corn, as a
method of marketing the large yield
of mature corn promised in North Da-
kota this fall, is advised by Prof. ].
H. Shepherd, chairman of the animal
husbandry department of the North
Dakota Agricultural College. Prof.
Shepherd points to the low price OF
stock this fall, the unusual spread
between feeders and fat stock on the
terminal markets, and the prospect
of an early matured corn crop, as his
reasons for believing that stock feed
ing should be a reasonably safe ven
ture this fall, if conducted right.
"The farmer who fails to make
provision for marketing his corn crop
is making mistake" Prof. Shepherd
says. 81 have seen a grower find
late in March that he must move his
corn shocks from his field in hurry,
and has sold them for song"
The spread Of the st. Paul market,
early in August, between feeder cat
tie and fat stock was around 81 hum

The Earliest, Lake Wanern, is the
third largest in Europe. They had 4

bundance, big and small and there
are so many falls which are utilized
in cities for factories and the smaller
ones for -four mills. The Swedish
government is using some Of them for
electric power stations. There is
one such station at a place called
"Trollhattan" the government are
contemplating using for electric
power on the railway between Goth
enberg and Stockholm. l would also
like to mention little about "Gota
Canal" that cuts across the
country from Gutenberg to Stock
holm. The name is misleading as
only one fifth has been dug, the rest
of it is natural waterways such as
lakes and sounds or bays in the Bal
tic Sea. 1t is unique way where
year. 1t is 70 Locks in all, 80 to
climb up from Gothenberg on the
west to the highest point inland and
80 down to the same level in the Bal
tic and one goes through the finest
scenery one can imagine, large trees,
winding ways, large estates with fine
buildings, a perfect pananora. One
has to see it in order to appreciate it.
There are three things the tourist
has in mind to see when paying a
visit to Sweden, and that is to take a
trip through the Gotta Canal, see
Stockholm, the capital city Of Sweden,
and the Midnight Sun. Stockholm
is built on an island connected by
bridges, very beautiful city. We
went up there by boat some time ago,
and one that wishes to see the mid
night sun goes by train north Of
Stockholm, AZ hours ride on fast train
to place called "Abisko or Kiruna."
The midnight sun can be seen for
about five weeks in the middle of the
summer.
Nearly every place has an orchard,
both in the towns and in the country.
Everything seems to grow here, flow
ers of all kinds in profusion, which
are very beautiful right now, and the
absence of weeds is quite contrast to
the back yards of Minot, and Berthold
