Witty was in especially fine form

so successful. Both sides played
errorless base ball.

There will be two prizes this year
also, one for the best yard display
and one for the handsomest vase OF
cut flowers.
The laxity in enforcing the stock
laws, resulting in cattle and horses
running at large, has tended to dis
courage some of the home owners
from attempting flower gardens this
Spring, but an effort will be made by
the Council to see if something can
not be done to check this nuisance.
A suggestion was made at Tuesdays
meeting that if the penalty was rails
ed from one dollar to five dolla.s per
haps the owners Of cows and horses
would use more care in keeping their
animals at home
This proposition will probably Be
taken up with the City Commission
ers at an early date, and some relief
is certain.

Practically all the seed for raising
this vegetable are imported from
Denmark, and 50 far as is known
! Mr. Carstcns is the only American
who has developed horne grown
seed that will work at all satisfact-
orily.
The plants we saw, now ready for
market, were produced in five months
while the ordinary standard import
ed seed require fully eleven months
to produce full grown plant
Row after row of lettuce, all Of uni
form size and quality large and solid
as cabbages, We're seen in Mr. Car
stems garden, raised, he says, by us
ing plenty Of fertilizer, care, brains
and work. "It is not a gift" Mr..
Carstens declares, "and anybody can
90 it who wants to follow instruc-
tions,"
He produces five vegetable crops
each year on this tract Of land, and
one can not but wonder at the great
possibilities of Iberia Parish if the
citizens who have the land would
only work it as he does.
New Iberia is actually loosinr
thousands upon thousands of dollars
each season because the truck grow
ers are not organized. An effort viii
be made under Mr.. ST. Dcziers sup
ervision to reorganize this industry
that was once such money maker
for the parish.
A few years back New Iberia could
boast of one Of the most progressive,
Poultry Breeders Associations in theI
State, and in every fair and exhibi-
tion our local fanciers secured the
lions share of blue ribbons.
This association has not been ac-
tive since the war, but the time
seems to be ripe for reorganization.
Mr.. st. Dezier is not only an ag-
but a live stock and
poultry man as well, and he has al
ready met some of New Iberia's
prominent chicken breeders, and they
are all anxious to re-organize, so
steps along this line can be expected
N the near future.
Mr.. St Dezier has his Office in the
Chamber Of Commerce Headquarters,
md viii appreciate visit from any
.itizen in the parish who may want
o ask about the work, or If they just
lrop in to get acquainted he viii be

FARM DEMONSTRATION AGENT GETS BUSY ON
NUMBER OF IMPORTANT PROJECTS,
BOYS PIG CLUBS ACTIVE. POULTRY RAESERS AND TRUCK.
GROWERS TO RE-ORGANTzE.

Iberia's new Farm Demonstration
Agent, Mr.. r. V. St. Dezier, has beer
very much on the job this week.
Monday and Tuesday, accompanied
/ by Supt. L. G. Porter, Mr. Luke L
Bertrand and Mr. Floyd Spencer, he
made round Of the rural schools
where Boys Pig Clubs have been or
ganized.
Mr.. Spencer is a Pig Club expert
connected with the Extension Depart
Tcnt of the State University, and
Ezr. Bertrand is one of our leading
l. Il enthusiasts in this work.
At each school all four of the gen
olemen made talks on Club work to
The pupils, Mr.. Bertrand speaking in
French for the benefit of those boys
Who understand that language better.
Taey report that their visits and
remarks We're received with much in
teiest by the members Of the differ
ent Clubs. and it is evident that the
rivalry for raising the prize hog Of
the parish will be very keen.
The schools where these Clubs are
now in working order are Loreauville,
Belle Place, Dugas, Derouen, Darby,
Patoutville, Coteau and Avery Island,
the Club at Loreauville having the
largest membership with an enroll
nont Of twenty five boys The total
number for the eight Clubs is around
the one hundred mark.
While this is an excellent start,
these gentlemen feel that it is not
near what it should be and more
members will be urged to join at
each of the eight Clubs
Quite a number of boys from the
country are in attendance at the
schools in this city, and an effort
will be made to organize a large
Club in New iberia.
By teaching these young people
bow easy it is to make large profits
from raising pure bred hogs it is an
ticipated that when they grow up and
start farming for themselves they
will continue growing fine hogs, and
that industry will come to be one of
,he big money makers of the parish
and business in all lines will profit
greatly therefrom.

CAMPAIGN FOR FLOWER GARDENS STARTED BY
THE WOMEN'S COUNCIL.
ppzEs TO OFFERED THIS YEAR AS LAST FOR MOST
BEAUTIFUL

The Women's Council are starting
.he;r 1921 campaign for beautifyine
tbe yards of New IBERIA.
n will be remembered that last
caring a similar campaign was car
lad on by these Civic Enthusiasts
hat resulted in much good.
last year two flowers, Saliva and
zinnias, were made the special vari-
t;es on which a contest was staged
Commencing in early Spring, anc
.,nning to June 30th, the ladies en-
tering the contest for the most beau
4;ful display of these flowers, worked
bord for the prizes offered by the
Council. On the Both of June the
Roard of Directors of the Women's
council, acting as a committee to
;udge the contest and select the win
rars. made tour of the city in au-
.omibiles, and according to their fin
Il report they had much difficulty in
deciding which was the prettiest a.
mong the dozens Of beautifully de-
veloped beds of flowers.
Visitors to this city were forced to
admit sarprise and pleasure at the
rnmber of well kept lawns and the
endless succession of flowers in yard
after yard.
The prizes last year were won by
Mrs. Jack Blanc, who had specialized
IN Salvias, and by Mrs. Tom Conrad,
who had raised Zinnias
At their meeting held on Tuesday
afternoon of this week the ladies of
the Council selected the Geranium as
the official contest flower for this year
and all Of the ladies of New Iberia
are urged to get in line and raise a
display of these flowers.
A valuable prize will be awarded
10 the owner Of the most beautiful
display of Geraniums, the contest to
be Judged, as last year, by the Board
oi Directors.
The Council asks for the same en-
thusiastic response and hearty coop
eration that was accorded last sea-
son, and request those who did not
take part before to "get in the game"
now, and help to make the effort pro-
ductive of even greater benefits than
the first.
This is the time to plant.
Rooted Geranium plants may be
bought for ten or fifteen cents each
from several of our local florists, or
ordered through any seed merchant
ii New Iberia. The drug stores also
have flower catalogues from New Or
