the available information on avocado
diseases which may be of practical
use TO tue avocado grower of Florida

some Of the prominent growers of the
lower East Coast. The diseases
named and discussed in this bulletin
are avocado scab, black spot, avocado
blOtch, rusty blight, powdery mildew,
and russell fruit. Each disease is dis
cussed with reference to the history
of it's discovery. its appearance, cause
and control. All those interested in

Mill and Factory May Be
Much Enlar9ed.

Let good enough alone" does moi
seem to be one of the business mo-
ttos of "Big Max" Zimmerman, OF
the Boldt Paper Mill and Southern
Egg Case Filler Company interests.
The Egg Case Filler concern have
completed their plant opposite the
paper mill, and this week have NOV
ed their machinery. In a few more
days they will be operating again in
the new quarters, according to Mr..
Laurence Schwabacher, manager of
the concern.
Mr.. Zimmerman is now planning
an extended trip to the Pacific Coast
in the interests of both the big
plants "down town., and his plans
carry important development for
New Iberia if worked out to a sue
cessfpl conclusion. The proposed deal
will mean doubling in the capacity
of the big Boldt Paper Mill, and
more than doubling the capacity of
the Egg Case Filler Co.
According to Mr.. Zimmerman,
their program calls for the establ-
ishing of branch distributing stations
in number of large Pacific Coast
cities, for their "Titlock Filters"
Solid boat load shipments via the
Teche to New Orleans, thence by
steamship to the West Coast, via
the Panama Canal, are part of the
project. This will call for more than
twice the present sized factory.
The entire output of rice straw
board of the Boldt Mill will then be i
used by the Egg Case Filler Comp
any, and Mr.. Zimmerman intends, in
this event, to add new line of ma
chinery for the paper mill, to make
a finer product, for candy boxes and
such class of goods.
During the past week Mr.. Zimmer-
man had with him three Egg Case
men and capitalists from Indiana,

ing and told practically the same
story Of the shooting as did his wife
Information from the Shriff's Of
flee was to the effect that the shoot
ing took place about 11:00 O'Clock
Tuesday night on the road near
youngsville refinery. Sheriff Latiolais,
together with Austin Landry and
julius Delahoussaye, one Of the joe
keys at the Fair Grounds track, were
returning from Abbeville, when their
car became stuck in a muddy Sec
tion Of road.
They went to the refinery to Sc
cure assistance in getting the car
out, and were joined by Jules Brous-
sard and a. younger brother, the men
then starting back toward the car.
On their way they met Emile He
bert and his wife.
The negro is said to have demand
ed that the men walking in the road
give him the right of way and it is
stated that they complied by moving
to one side. Some words are then
understood to have followed, and the
negro is said to have used some
strong language.
Hebert, it is stated, then pulled
single barrel shotgun from the buggy
and fired, Landry being struck be-
low the heart.
Sheriff Latiolais was carrying
spade which had been secured for
use in getting the automobile out of
the mud, and as the negro shot, the
officer struck at the buggy with the
spade pulling out his revolver at the
same time.
The force Of the blow from the
spade knocked Hebert's wife from
the buggy into the road, the vehicle
passing over her, and also the three
months old baby which she was car
rying in her arms. The woman ap-

ed by Mr.. Leon Landry, who reports
an enthusiastic meeting, from which
all of the delegates departed, eager
to take up the work of organization.
Harry F. kapp gave talk on the
progress of the Farm Bureau in
Louisiana. He said that he was more
than pleased with the progress made
and with the attitude of the farm
ers in joining the bureau, and with
the hundreds who have already ioir
ed nucleus had been formed around
which can be built an impregnablc
organization
Mr.. kapp told of the many draw
backs encountered; the high water
situation in a number of parishes
prevented organization work from
progressing as it should and the
continual rains in many other places
made it hard for the workers to
reach the farmers. A special mark
eting bill, similar to the one that is
now in use in every southern state
except Louisiana and Florida had to
be prepared. This was presented at
the meeting of the Legislature by
Messrs. Parent and Schell, and was
unanimously passed by the house on
June 12. A check on the senate has
shown that it will meet with equal
success there.
Mr.. Kapp said that the coopera-
tive rice commodity contract has
been printed and is now being pres
ented in the rice sections with much
success, the same being the case with
the cotton and sweet potato con-
tracts.

it is impossible. Well lust hit the

for the celebration of the Nations

1t wouldn't be celebration with

SO the big Hurrah will open with
grand parade, at 1880, which will
form at the Live Oak School grounds
and march to the Park grounds.
We've had parades in New Iberia
before, but nothing this big, at least
that's what the parade committee
says, and they ought to know. They
are Luke Bertrand, Chairman; Capt.
E. P. Roy, C. A. Barnes, Francis

has charge of lining up the schools,
College and Convent sections; Bob
is looking after the music, and says
he'll have at least four musical org
anizations in line. Mr.. Barnes and
Capt. Roy are looking after the dec
Grated trucks and autos.
They want every business concern
in town to have car in the parade,
wherever possible to be decorated in
keeping with the firms business.
Each fraternal body will also be
represented by decorated truck,
and some pretty designs should re-
suit from friendly rivalry among
them to produce the best.
Entries for this grand parade will
be closed on July 1st, so every body
should notify the committee at once
of their intention to enter a car in
the procession. Write or phone to
Capt. Roy, Chamber of Commerce
office, and get in the game.
