ing is from the "Weather-Crop Bull
letin of the Louisiana Weather Ser
vice" for the week ending Saturday,
May 4;
General rains fell in Louisiana
during the pastseven days, except in
the east central portion, which was
very beneficial to the cotton and
growing crops in general.
"The temperature Of the past week
was considerably below the average
for the season, with slight excess in
the amount of sunshine received.
From all parishes in the~State it
is reported that cool nights were in
furious to crops. In the northern
section that the cotton and young
crops were retarded in growth. Re
ports are however favorable as re
CARDS the present condition of the
cotton crop,
in the east-central, and portions
of the southern section, crops and
vegetation are suffering for want OF
rain.
General conditions: Cotton good.
Corn good except in a few sections
where cut-worms are reported work
ing damage. Cane is a good stand,
but needs rain and warmth. Rice
poor on account of lack of rainfall. "
