We CAN'T AFFORD NOT
: TO use FERTILIZER
THIS YEAR :.
Progressive Farmer)


With fertilizer at its present hfEb
year?
This is the uppermost fertilizer Ques.
tion In the minds of the farmers in
the fertilizer-using sections Of the
South. The Progressive Farmer has
gone thoroughly into this question from
every angle, and the deeper we go the
more convinced we are that our farm.
ers can't afford not to use fertilizer
to make their 1921 crops. The per acre
cost will be increased, but the per
bushel or per pound cost will be re-
duced, and 1t Is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at a profit.
This Is not time to plunge on fertilizer
In order to get phenomenal yields, or
to experiment with new mixtures. Use
safe amounts of the kinds Of fertilizer
that have given paying results on your
types Of soil. Not only should the
farmers who have heretofore used fer
tilizer continue the conservative use
Of it, but there are farmers in every
community who have depended solely
on their own efforts and the original
plant foods in poor soil to make their
crops. who should now supplement
these things with added plant food at
least on few acres, and get away
from unprofitably low yields. We can.
not afford to farm at a loss again this
year, and yields OF Is to 90 bushels
of corn or fourth to a third of
bale OF cotton an acre will not pay
for the labor, seed and use of the land
and leave profit. 1t is essential,
then, that our yields be raised well
above the average, and the only prac.
ticable means of doing this for this
years is with fertilizer wisely used.

Georgia has been the scene of a
revelation regarding negro peonage.
resulting in wholesale murders ac
cording to the charges of officers.
that is nearly without parallel. The
d'itlcuity seems to have been engen-
oered oy system of permitting plan
ters to pay the fines of negro criml-
nais and then getting the privilege of
the work of these men in lieu of their
sentences. The method is unconstitu
tional. No state has the right to hsnd
over even criminals into involuntary
serVitude under private masters. The
only place for involuntary servitude
under the constitution, is in Jail or
the penitentiary.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1921-04-07

The State of Delaware has a sys-
tenn of whipping criminals-including
wife beaters-that makes criminali-
tY extremely unpopular in that little
state. Recently trio of persons were
the victims. They were tied to the
judicial stake and made to feel the
sting Of the lash Corporal punish
ment. such as Delaware inflicts, is
not school boy stuff, and it is needless
to remark that the system discour-
ages criminal outrages astonishinglv.
Ine victims not only suffer the sting
OIL the lash, but they also suffer the
gibes of friends after they are free.
There is not a single other state that
mas such law. 1t appears that it is
deemed better elsewhere to send
criminals to Jail or the penitentiary
and then support them for stated
term - which is expensive and not
overly hard on the criminal. Della
ware paints their backs in a way thew
never forget.

Last year Dillon enterprise sent
s1,000,00O into the west for raw ma
terials which could have been pro-
duced at home. The raw materials
were turned into manufactured pro-
ducts and sold at a profit, but the
profit represented only a fraction of
the original cost of the materials.
The raw products were corn, oats
and wheat. The average Dillon coun-
ty farmer will tell you we cannot
raise corn, oats and wheat at a prof
1t because We cannot compete with
the west. He will tell you that he
can buy these products at the price
Ii will cost him to make them. This
IL true, But IL he can produce 1000
bushels of corn for $1,000 he enrich
es himself indirectly by keeping that
money at home instead of sending ii
to the west where it never returns
Last year Dillon county spent at a
conservative estimate $2,000,000 fol
foodstuffs. The present value of the
1920 cotton crop is less than ST..

ton to prove that we sent more mon

A Charleston county farmer ship
ped 16 drums of beets to Washington
for which he received sos. The ex-
press charges amounted to S63.72.
and when he deducted the other costs,
not including farm labor, he had a
net profit of $8.28. And therein lies
the nations biggest problem - the
high cost of transportation. Farmers
are discouraged and refuse to pro-
duce, and who can blame them? City
consumers are protesting against
high prices, but how can the mer-
chant lower his prices when the rail
raods are getting two-thirds the val
uo of the commodity they haul in
freight charges? The railroads claim
they cannot lower freight rates and
pay the present high salaries, and the
employees threaten to strike if their
salaries are reduced. Lower railroad
rates will stimulate industry and pub
lie sentiment is urging the railroads
to get their house in order and pro-
vide more reasonable rates. If lower
rates must come through reduc-
ton in wages, let's have the reduc-
ton. If reduction means a nation
wide strike, let's have the strike and
get over with it.

The income tax law is hitting the
salaried man. We heard of a man who
got out of work and had to borrow
$S6 to pay the government. But
suppose the salaried man without
visible property refuses to pay? In
come tax is debt to the government
and the statutes prohibit imprison-
ment for debt.

The great automobile plants in De-

100 per cent capacity. This indicates
clearly that the business slump is
nearing its end. The slump started in
the automobile industry and it is but
natural to expect that it would end
there.

NEW IBERIA ALSO

Again our old friend Jay Davidson
of the Lafayette Gazette has publish
a little article that so fits the Iberia
situation that we are tempted to bor-
row it from his columns. In reading
it, please substitute the name Iberia
wherever he has used Lafayette, and
you will find some mighty good sug-
gestions for our Chamber of Com
merce, City Council, or other bodies
to follow up. In our case here we
have the Chamber of Commerce that
Mr.. Davidson recommends for his own
town down the road. But so far this
body has overlooked the important
actions suggested below by the Lafay-
cite scribe.
Any time the mercury drops to 40
degrees we are prone to refer to it
as cold wave, and such it is for us
who live in this tropical cline. But

climate. When we get the remaining
link built in the Pershing Way there
will be only one other thing for La
fayette to do to rise to the distinction
OF tourist center-building parking
space for tourist cars so we can take
care OF the crowds. The Pershing and
Jefferson highways will serve the
motorist from the north and the Old
Spanish Trail will bring them from
east and west Lafayette having
practically completed her network of
hard-surfaced roads, must now get in
the game and help to press the work
in other sections so that these trails
will all be built up and made year
round routes. Our open winters will
have special appeal to the business
man of the north who cannot get
away to California for the winter and
those who prefer to enjoy the same
exemption from the icicles of the
north and yet stay within easy dis
tance of their business. If we only
had real live functionins chamber
of commerce to direct the publicity
work in the north and east we could
put Lafayette permanently on the
map of the United States.

COLLEGE WINS AGAIN.

On Sunday, January twentythird,
the st. Peters College Basket Ball
team went over to Grand Coteau for
"a match game with the College team
there. The local boys were accomp-
anied by quite large delegation of
loyal boosters, who went along to see
their favorites add another victory to
their unbroken record. Although the
game was quite hotly contested, the
final result was never in doubt, and
the score at the final whistle stood
25 to II, with the st. Peters College
youngsters as usual on the heavy end
of the score.
These boys have made such repu-
tation for consistant winning that it
is now becomming very hard for them
to get games, except with teams that
outclass them in age and weight.

companies are nosing around almost
every day, trying to work in to the
proposition.
The derrick of The Maximillian
Company, now being erected, will
stand only nine hundred feet from
the well on the Bernard Brothers
tract that has been producing for
many months. The oil from this
Bernard well is now being used for
fuel by the Nc Phee people in drilling
out on the St. Martinville road.
The big deaf pulled off by Messrs.
Sealy, Scharff, Sanders, Burke and
Smith, mentioned in our issue of last
Saturday, is now only waiting for
the Field Man of the Houston Oil
Company to come in and select the
most promising spot for the erection
of their first derrick, when actual
development work will be started at
once.
While we have no authority for the
statement, we are of the. opinion
that this first well will be put down
on Lady of the Lake Plantation, as
we understand that the indications
are especially good here, where two
parafine beds were discovered, which
is about the best surface indication
of oil that is possible to be had.
Whether or not it is because of the
great interest being taken at present
in our prospective oil developments,
we cannot say, but it is fact that
every available room in the hotels
and rooming houses of New Iberia is
taken, and the lobby of the Hotel
Frederic presents the appearance Of
one in large city almost all the time
now.
Clerk of Court J. A. Gonsoulin and
his corps of assistants have been kept
busy recording oil leases and prepar-
ing abstracts for the past few weeks,
and the rush Of this oil work is con-
tinually increasing instead of dimin-
ishing. Everything is set for a SEN
stampede, and if any size Of
oil well is brought in there will be a
rush that will be remembered by all
Iberians for many years to come.

PARISH FARM AGENT SHOULD NOW Be ON
The JOB IN IBERIA.
OTHER PARISHES ARE REAPING BENEFITS FROM THEIR
FARM DEMONSTRATORS.

Farmers around Scott, Louisiana
have found how easy it is to get {
little cash money, even if their crops
of rice and cane did fall down on all
prospects this year.
1t seems that some firm in New
Orleans placed an order for fortyone
cases of fresh eggs at $1650 pei
case, or a total of $675.50. This or
der would not excite much interest
in some parts of the country, but the
market there has only been local
one heretofore, not patronized by the
New Orleans or Texas markets.
When this order came, some of the
farmers who needed the money got
busy and collected the required num-
ber of cases, and the $675.50 is now
filling some gaps in the pocketbooks
of the Lafayette parish farmers.
The reason that we cite this little
transaction here, is that the farmers
OF Iberia parish are so many of them
not even producing the eggs that they
use on their own tables, much less
are they producing any surplus for
the foreign markets
Eggs are shipped into New Or
leans every day in astonishing auanti
ties, and most of them come from out
side this state,
1t would be part of the work of an
efficient farm demonstrator to work
up an interest in poultry raising in
Iberia parish, and in that way hun
dreds of dollars would be saved for
the farmers, and this money would
be spent by them with our local mer-
chants, furthering the prosperity of
of everyone concerned.
What we are trying to bring out is
the fact that the funds have all been
assured for the employment of a man
as Parish Agent or Farm Demonstra-
tor for Iberia Parish. The time is
now here when this agent should be
on the job outlining the work for the
present year. If Iberia parish is to
have Demonstration now is the pro-
per time to get him on the ground.
If we are not going to have one
then perhaps the farmers who want
one so badly Swould be interested in
knowing just why one is not to be
provided, especially as the Police Ju-
ry has budgeted their share of the ne
cessary funds, the Federal govern
ment has stated that it will put up a
like amount, and the School Board is
also ready to shoulder its part of the
expense.
Whose duty is'it to take up the ap-
pOintment of this Farm Agent I?
Whose duty is it to see that this
proposition so well begun shall not
fall through with?
Perhaps the matter is now being
worked out in proper shape We do
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1921-01-29

not know. If so then so much the
better. Perhaps there has arisen an
obstacle to the carrying out of these
we'll laid plans. Again, we do not
know. We only hope that the parish
of Iberia will be given this chance to
develop her real worth and take her
deserved place among the other par
ishes of the state, and that our farm
ers will be provided with the assis-
tance given to the farmers of other
parishes to make the most of the nat
ural advantages provided.
Along the line of diversifcation
The Lafayette Gazette says
Diversification Always.
Proof of the pudding is in the
eating and this tells the tale. why La
fayette parish farmers are lining up
for the Memphis plan of diversified
crops without argument. They have
tried it before in an emergency and
found it worked out like a charm.
But the strongest argument in fav-
or of diversification, as against spe-
cialization in farming, is found in
present conditions. right here in La
fayette parish. Our farmers have suf-
fered from the defiation scheme and
the consequent depression, but not
nearly in the proportion that the
planters in parishes given over almost
exclusively to one crop, either cotton,
cane or rice. Lafayette parish is di-
vlded agriculturally into four distinct
areas, the cane area cotton area. rice
area and the general farming area
In all these areas some other farm
ing than the specialized crop was
done. Hence, our farmers were not
Knocked fiat by the Tightening of the
money market. Lafayette parish is
one of the most prosperous in the
state today because of this diversifi-
cation. It's farmers are recovering
faster and are entering upon the di-
versification plan in an enthusiastic
manner because they have tried it
out heretofore and have no theories
on the subject. The gambler who
Shoots his rolf on the turn of one
card or the roll of one turn of the
bones, is not gambler He's just-a
plain ordinary damphool. And for
the same reason farmers cannot af-
ford to stake their all on one crop.
with weather and crop conditions and
the money market and the the law of
supply and demand to be figured as
controlling factors in his success or
failure. Diversiication is good thing
IN the present emergency and it will
be good thing in all emergencies
whether there is an emergency or
not"

demonstration agents and two home
agents and have found it splendid

high wages, and then dashes them te
the depths of unemployment Their
mood is dangerous. What they need
is employment, not at the former in
flated wages, but at reasonable rates
, that business can now bear. These
wages will be lowered as the value of
the dollar increases and the prices of
the necessities of living come down.
To bring them into employment at
reasonable wages on the construction
of roads would be a sensible idea. 1t
would help them to job that would
make living possible without resort
ing to theft and crime, and it would
give the country its badly needed
good roads.
So let's build roads with this sur
plus labor. Let's gain two objects at
once. Let's bring contentment to la
Dor and kill the menace of discomfort.
Let's get our roads built at time
that putting money into circulation
will have good effect on business
and kill this imaginary panic that is
hiding in the public mind.
Of course there can be no roadwork
done on the northern end Of The Per-
shing Way during winter, but the
southern end Of the highway is bet
ter situated as they can work all the
year around. They are going forward
with confidence. Witness the $500 900
bond issue in st. Landry parish, for
the building of forty miles of the Per-
shing Way, the million dollar bond is
sue in Winn parish, and the issue of
a like amount in Lincoln parish.
Now is the time to speed all of the
projects up and to get them into act
ual operation. 1t will be wise bit of
business and will react favorably on
the general business outlook in far
reaching manner.
If road building opportunity ever
lay just over the hill, now is that
time. All that is needed is initiative,
good judgement, and courage.
There are seventeen parishes in the
state of Louisiana transversed by this
great international highway: Union,
Lincoln, Jackson, Winn, Grant, Rap
ides, Avoyelles, St. Landry, Lafayette
Iberia, ST. Mary, Assumption, Terre-
bonne, Lafourche, st. Charles, Jeffer-
son, and Orleans.
