Lavaca County Tick
Eradication Report
The people of Lavaca County
did splendid tick eradication
work during the month of July.
The inspectors reported over
62,000 cattle inspected and dipp-
ed. Only 27 additional ticky herds
were found during the month.
This makes a total of 925 known
ticky herds in the county. The
tick free herds are now exemp-
ted from dipping for 56 days.
Ticky herds will continue on
the 14 day schedule for nine
months from date when last
fever ticks were found on cattle.
Owners of ticky cattle are urged
not to leave out any cattle but
dip all of them regularly without
fail. That is the shortest way out
of your dipping trouble. Last
month our inspectors found ticks
agpin on 36 herds which had
been previously reported ticky.
That is the result of not dipping
all cattle. The State law requires
all the cattle, horses and mules
from ticky premises to be
brought to the dipping vat for
inspection and dipping. It is our
duty to report all violations of
this law to the county attorney
for prosecution. During the past
month one Lavaca County stock
owner paid a fine of $89.00 for
his failure to dip all of his cattle.
We sincerely hope that we will
have no occasion to report any
in the near future.
Very Respectfully,
R. F. KRENEK,
Supervising Inspector.
Terracing
It increases farm revenue by
adding three dollars or more
annnal income per acre tor all
time to come.
It gives a higher valuation to
land. It prevents gullies from
washing in the field. It prevents
sheet washing from taking soil
and plant food.
It insures better crop stand. It
! prevents the washing away of
| organic matter, commercial fer-
| tilizer and manure.
It prevents hillsides from
washing down covering bottom
land and filling waterways. It
allows a greater absorption of
rainfall, which is desireable
when moisture is the limiting
factor in production.
It prevents questional security.
It builds better communities. It
promotes better business con-
ditions and creates prosperity.
Card of Thanks
For the beautiful deeds that
so comforted and sustained us in
our bereavement, for the tender
sympathy and the many exquisite
floral tributes we wish to extend
our heartfelt and grateful
thanks. May God’s richest bless-
ing be with you, one and all.
Mr. and Mrs. Felix Berckenhoff
and family.

glorious young girlhood had been
spent. She was born Dec. 19th,
1908. Throughout her school
years, she showed exceptional
scholarship and when she
graduated from Shiner High
School with the class of 1926 it
was as valedictorian of her class.
Entering the State University
in the early fall she soon became
a favorite with all with whom
she came in contact. She was
selected from her dormitory,
Kirby Hall, as a candidate for
the beauty page of the Univer-
sity annual. Her ambition was to
make her two years state certifi-
cate in teaching and when her
credentials came she had won
the four years certificate, due
to her exceptional averages. She
was delightfully happy in having
secured her position for this
term, being very anxious to com
pensate her parents for the
privileges and opportunities they
had given her. Resigned to go—
yet throughout her illness the
desire to live to show apprecia-
tion to those who had made
sacrifices to afford her intellec-
tual advancement was always
manifested. It was to the Catho-
lic church, where since badyhood
she had been a regular attendant,
that her body was carried Satur-
day morning for Requiem High
Mass, with Rev. L. P. Netardus
as Celebrant. Rev. A. Mathis of
Hallettsville Deacon and Rev. D.
A. Sykora of St Mary’s as Sub-
deacon.
Father Netardus extolled her
virtues, especially her piety and
obedience. She was likened unto
a lily in purity and to a rose in
the beauty of her life and = s a
lower she was transplanted by
God from an earthly garden into
the Garden of Paradise, bein^
taken out of this world of sorrow

of day was closed from eyes that
were so recently laughing, bright
with happiness and youth.
Friends came from far and near,
classmates from the State
University. Never has there been
such an outpouring of young
people. The funeral procession
was one of the longest that ever
wended its way to the silent city
of the dead. The floral tributes
were exquisite and so numerous
that more than two rooms of the
home was given over to their
placing. Her last resting pi ace
was a magnificent mantle of
fragrant blossoms, showing the
depth of the love and esteem in
which she was held and breath
