Weather Report
Weather conditions during May
proved generally satisfactory, pro
vided rain falls within the next few
days. Early corn, as well as cane, is
beginning to feel the need of water,
altho the hot days at the close of the
month did much good in accelera
ting body growth. Vegetables suf
fered to some extent for lack of
moisture, while vegetation in gener
al is somewhat behind similar per
iods of other years.
The record for the month was
1.96 incjhes, with .75 on May 5, and
1.16 on May 11th. The balance fell
on May 28th.
The majority of the days of May
proved too cool for rapid growth of
cane, corn and garden products. The
cane and corn crops hereabouts,
however, may be said to be far in
advance of most gears, while the
majority of the farmers in this sec
tion report that 1917 bids fair to be
the best year within the past twenty,
insofar as the money crops go.

AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM
Houma, La., June 1, 1917.
Editor Houma Courier.
Houma, La.
Dear Sir:
Have learned with much regret
that opposition to dipping of cattle
exists in the parish and desire
through your columns to bring out
a few reasons why the complete
eradication of .the cattle tick will be
of the greatest advantage to our
farmers.
Can say for the beginner that the
past three years I have systemati
cally dipped from 400 to 500 head
of cattle, including beef and dairy
cattle and have yet to record a
death in the herd due to dipping.
The fact that kind Nature has en
dowed us with the finest of pasture
and climate conductive .to the rais
ing of cgttle, should induce every
thinking man who is interested in
himself as well as the welfare of the
Parish of Terrebonne to not only
dip his own stock, but to urge upon
his neighbor the necessity of the
figtt upon the worse enemy to a
prospective industry which in the
near future means prosperity to all
farmers.
With the disappearance of the
tick, the Federal quarantine will be
removed and our cattle will be al
lowed the privilege of all markets
insuring b much better price for the
animal and hide. With the disap
pearance of the cattle tick will come
confidence by the moneyed qjen,
who will lend financial assistance
more readily .in a tick-freè than in
a tick infested territory.
A cattle loan bank recently estab
lished in New Orleans will be more
anxious to make loans in Terre
bonne when the fact is known that
our people have displayed the in
telligence to eliminate from their
pastures the cattle tick menace.
With the disappearance of the
cattle tick will be afforded an op
portunity of importing into the j
commuinty the finest of stock, both I
beef and dairy, and when the high |
raded registered cattle is brought
ito Terrebonne Parish the small
inner will have a splendid chance
f improving his stock.
With the disappearance of the
ittle tick will come a higher valua
tick condition will invite the land
purchaser from sections where ticks
are unknown.
With the disappearance of the
cattle tick will come congratulations
from other sections, once infested
but now enjoying privileges accord
ed to them by intelligently removing
all unnecessary evil. And in conclu
sion would like td suggest again to
few dissenting cattle owners oppos
ed to systematic dipping, a lack ' of
patriotism in delaying the develop
ment of a fine industry in this par
ish and one which will be much
needed in our country if the war
continues for many years.
