Truck Growers' Organizations. to ref
Ti' k roes ... small
The organization of truck growers in this state inten
seems to be one of the essential factors in making
dem"
the business a success. It is very important that dran
information should be had daily as to the condition 'of th
of the Western markets at the times of active the
shipments of garden truck and it is very impor- che
tant that all the material going forward should go take
forward in carload lots .and the more perishable dame
material in refrigerator cars and always at the e
lowest rates that can be made. Th ! organization ingR'
can arrange for all this and do it most effectively. alwa
As has been noted in our General News, these i C
truckers' organizations are springing up all over a SP
the state and the Iberia Enterprise of July 10, re- culti
ports that some thirty truck growers in that com- acre
munity signed a roll as charter members of such ever
an as:ociation and it was ,hcupht that very 1
many more would come into it. Mayor Power, as a
who was present at the meeting, said that he re- the
larded such an association as one of the great Can
needs of the parish of Iberia and he believed that whe
it would do more good for the people of that par- ada
ish than anything else. He said he hoped to see land
the day when he could tell the visitor to New am<
Iberia that all the surrounding territory was in in I
truck. Others made similar addresses and a com- sho
mittee on organization was appointed, including ten
the mayor, and efforts will be made at once to lie,
secure railroad rates and to secure reports from to t
the successful men of how they secured their ex- weE
cellent results. The name of the new organization
" will be the New Iberia Truck Gardeners' Associa- pla
tion. Mr. E. J. Carstens was elected president, lea
W. D. Coudron, vice president; John Curtis, sec- tur
'' "ond vice president; H. P. Gates, third vice presi- we
"dent; H, J. Hill, secretary; Wm. Newman, treas- cer
utre .4fn adjournment was had until July 21, at act
h time the committee on constitution and by- sor
i alaws would report. We wish our truck gardening in
confreres in New Iberia every success and hope eff
that in odir own parrih of Plaquemines several. cu
such organizations will be effected, as the geo- the
graphical charabdr of our liarish is such as to th
p ecessitate several such orgahizations in order to mi
render the meetings easily accessible. in
The Modern Farm. or
The wonderful success in wheat production in to
modern Canada has established some farm units
which, so far as area is concerned, are of surpris- o
ing magnitude. The standard farm has its leastw
limit at a quarter of a section, or 160 acres, oft
land and thefull fledged farm would stand at a
whole seetion, or 640 acres. One man with four fa
boraes can handle the 160 acre farm without 'any p'
ltlwd help. The farmer and his son of some mod- at
ii ei size, or with a hired man, can handle a half it
section, or 820 acres with eight horses, and with i
an additional hired man or two, bring the entire if
. sestion under control. Steam plows are being
 g old in that eouritPy by the hundred and the same
traction engine that would draw the steam plows
i 4through the land would answer as the motive
i powterforthreshing t~e grain crop when har- a
; vested and, at times, for drawing a number of d
loaded wagons to the nearest elevator, where I
wheat was bought or received. The unit of 160 a
acres.per man and four horses is sometimes ex- a
ceeded and we were told in' Canada that a good t
S man with four horses could successfully cultivate '
900 acres and that in good seasons the results in (
the way 4f profit were sometimes marvelous. 3
i: The picture, however, has another side and some- t
times the results are not nearly so satisfactory, as '
dr  ghts, or floods, late frosts and early freezes,
Sall combine to defeat the farmer's purposes, be his i
Splans the best laid possible.
We are led to consider these large units in
Sfarming by the smallness of the sugar planter's
unit in Louisana; where a man and a mute for
Severy ten acres seems to be the imperative meas
u re, notwithstanding the use of many new agri
oltural implements, and a plantation with 500
acres in cane and corn needs fifty mules, or
I twenty-five two mule teams and the necessary
men to drive them, and ought to have twenty-five
h e hands available, apart from the use of some of
h.e . teams for handling horse hoes.

TUE LOWER COAST GAZETTE has frequently
adverted to the wonderful results accomplished in
some sections of this parish by intense culture and Iast
especially by the intense culture requisite for car- joyable
rying on the truck gardening business. Our par- young f
ish presents the extremes of culture under indi- B. Sau,
vidual control, from plantations cultivating a Burrwo
thousand or more acres of land with the hired pateBirdie
labor under the control of the chief, down, so far ence sr
as area is concerned, to the fields of 10 or 15 Wright
acres, under the personal control of the truck Cook,

ame The Best Time to Water The Horse. m
lows gin
tive Every planter or farmer who is watering his ho
har- animals in the field on these hot July days is ed
i of doubtless very much interested in knowing how th
here much water the average horse or mule should be A
160 allowed to drink while he is hot. There has been W
ex- a common report that while work animals are hot ,
good they can with safety take all the Water they want, w
Late unless it is extremely cold water, because as they
5 in go directly on with their work they will not be in- e
ous. jured by it. On the other hand, when we reflect a
me- that an ordinary mule will drink a bucket of
a water, some three gallons, or twenty-five pounds,
zes and if very thirsty, will take double that quantity, I
e his fifty pounds of water when hot, it is manifest that
the situation is somewhat confusing, if not danger
s in ous. Dr, F. W. Culver in a recent issue of the v
ter's North Carolina Progressive Farmer says that if
for you water a farm horse in the ordinary way, let
e ting him drink all that he will, you are likely to1
agri- have a foundered horse on your hands and that
1 500 this is especially so at the time that the horse is'
1, or fatigued. If this be applied to our mules in the
ssary field, we should fancy that they would all be
y-five foundered at once, as unless too much fatigued,
me of they are almost ravenous for a mid forenoon and a
mid afternoon drink of water when it can reach
issue them, Some mules, however, will not drink at all,
3oth- probably because they are two much fatigued, and
at an others are somewhat capricious in .the matter. In
gives some instances mules are either unable, or do not
three want to drink with bridles on, and hence we be
ln an lieve that it is good perhaps always to take the
farms bridle. off of every mule when we offer the water
on per to'thein and if on a hot day a mule will not take
much water, he should be closely watched, as the situ
e p tion, so far as heat is concerned, would seem dan
e gerous.
ethods A standard of one bucket of water, or about
ess of twenty-five pounds, of normal temperature has
as ad- seemed to be entirely safe in our practice in water
up to ing mules in the fields during the hot weather.
large But we have generally allowed them to take what
hwest- they wanted, and sometimes they drink as much
fcom- as two buckets, or fifty pounds, arid if Dr.Culver's
acres views are right, the practice of some of us is

these two young men called on a fair
maiden' across the pass Sunday evening
and spent a most pleasant time, tinally
the parting hour came and after a fond
good night and expressions of having
spent a most delightful time, our
friends, as they prove to be, decided
on casting off lines and starting up
their engine, as their transport happen-' F
ed to be a 20 ft. gasoline launch, but
the man at the engine failed to get his F"
boat under way. Finding that there
was some trouble and wishing a hasty
exit out of the pass, the Captain decid
ed to get to the oars, but the engineer
was not an oarsman and so confessed
and of course had fully resigned him-,
self to their fate, for by now they were
in the Gulf-the Gulf of Mexico, just
think of it--eastward of the east jetty,
but the captain was a young "Iochin- H,
var" and as night had by now closed in
'on them he volunteered to take the'
oars and putting extra energy to the;
improvised gas engine, soon covered
the distance back to Burrwood. In the E
morning they called upon an expert
gasoline engineer to detect the trouble ii
and all that it proved to be was the
disconnection of one of the wires lead
ing from the batteries to the spark plug
and just to think what epithets wtre
hurled at the poor defenseless engine.
Since then we understand that when- 0
ever either party enters a gasoline
launch his first move is to see if the
Swires are well connected. Boys we t

would have admitted the truth.
