coastal section parishes, where the muskrat is found. Ter- 

 rebonne, largest parish in the state by area, is the leader 

 in furnishing trappers, followed by the adjoining La- 

 fourche, with St. Mary which bounds Terrebonne on the 

 west, a close third. Plaquemines, Vermilion, Jefferson, Cal- 

 casieu, Cameron, St. Bernard, and even Orleans, contribute 

 their quota to this winter-time army. Just how many 

 farmer boys, as well as those who have an inherited distaste 

 to license buying, are not represented in the following list 

 is problematical, but it is enough to say that each year 

 Louisiana sends about 20,000 trappers into the marshes, 

 swamps and other parts of the great outdoors to take their 

 share of pelts.
