Such a trend can only mean a decrease in years to come in spite of the improved methods of breeding and the good work being done by the cattle breed associations.

IS, in the State, and practically tr tn mnrmfnr- neid but also to acquaint the youngsters with their local conservation officers who will teach respect of the law, safe handling of firearms, closer observation of the wild things and a better understanding of sportsmanship. From this angle it appears that such teaching might well be broadened to include many individuals of more years thanl7, with excellent results to all who encounter them in the open. An advertisement in the daily press offering crickets for bait or breeding stock catches the eye. Doubtless the littl black bugs do make good bait, but as for establishing cricket that seems a little far-fetched in this country of plenty of crickets.

On the other hand, fishin worm farming has become big business in many sections of the country; groves of catalpa trees pay big dividends in producing the ugly looking catalpa worms so much sought after by bream fishermen and many a youngster keeps himself in nickles by catching and selling cockroaches. It all comes under the head of business. Capture of a small barracuda off Grand Isle placed another species on the list of Louisiana marine fauna, it being the first of its kind ever recorded in the state.

Broussard, Clerk of Court S.5 RAINS INJURE COTTON CROPS Continuous rains during June and July has injured the cotton crop. Those two months are generally the most productive months for the cotton crop, but frequent rains have caused a high percentage of young squares and bolls to fall off. Neighboring parishes are reporting high boll weevil infestation. This is pretty generally the case all over Louisiana. Cloudy weather and high rainfall has been ideal for increased boll weevil, boll worm and other insect infestation.

Excessive rain has caused considerable growth and thus favoring insect reproduction and hampered the effectiveness of poisoning. Several fields in the parish have been checked for boll weevil infestation. So far their work has not been nearly as severe as the rainfall. Fields checked varied from 6 to 85 infestation by weevils. Farmers are advised to carefully observe the possibility of increased weevil infestation.

Poisoning for the weevil is advisable when 25 of the squares are affected and when the cotton is in good production. Calcium, arsenate at the rate of 7 to 10 pounds per acre at 4 or 5 days interval, alternating with 2 nicotine with calcium arsenate is recommended for boll weevil control. It is very important that every other application of calcium arsenate contain 2 nicotine dust to prevent aphid infestation. Aphids in some instances may cause as much damage as boll weevils Some cotton farmers claim that the production of this year's cotton will be between 65 and 70 of last year's crop. Much damage has been done to cotton already and if the excessive rainfall continues, the yield may be far less than the present indications.

A gathering wherein Su-Doubtless the little black bugs do and clerks rubbed shoulders and fished and borrowed lures from each other and men and women competed for the honors and prizes that went with landing the big ones. Throughout the three days record numbers of real, active fishermen of both sexes went out and fished even though weather conditions were bad and the going rough.

Throughout it all the finest spirit of sportsmanship was displayed and the 1949 Grand Isle Rodeo went down in history as tops in many respects in all the long history of the event. Few parishes in Louisiana but were represented in the actual competition or among the crowds that gathered daily to watch the weighing of the fish and the changing of standings on the big blackboard and in addition some twenty states had representatives among the list of entrants. And before the shouting at the rodeo's end had died away a group of officials of the rodeo had gathered together to review the events of the three, days meeting and to plan for the rodeo of 1950. It is a year round job, is this rodeo; one in which no individual or group profits by a cent in cash or perquisites but all grow rich in satisfaction over the accomplishment cf a job which gives pleasure to thousands and in making an ever growing group i friends. Alarmed by the growing list of accidents, many fatal, which result each year in the hunting field, the New York Legislature has recently passed a law prohibiting the unlimited sale, cf hunting licenses to minors under 17 years until the applicants have been schooled and trained in the handling of firearms by a state game protector.

Under this law, according to the Wildlife Management Institute, only game protectors can issue licenses to such minors.

He pointed out that the work of the Vermilion district camping committee under the leadership of Charles Nunez will contribute much to the success of the encampment. After checking with the Vermilion troop leaders director Bryan ventured the opinion that Camp Thistlethwaite received only about S0 as much rain as did the parishes along the coast.
