of the wheat and spring sown oat
crop when It comes on a few weeks
later. Hecoguizing this condition,
many farmers have already discon-
tinued sowing spring oats. The spring
out criYp Is about sixty to slxty-tlve
per com sow n. By holding up further
sowlng both seed and labor are saved.
If tltii post lets up In Its ravages by
February 20th. fariueis will probably
commence again to sow the remaludei
of their Intended spring oat acreage,
in case the pest does not show abate-
ment by (lial date, the remainder ot
the intended spring out acreage should
be planted to other crops.

Entomologist Exports Here.
These conclusions wore expressed
by II. J. Itelnluird, KlltomologlHt. or
the Texas A. Ai M. College, and C. II
Oahlo, entomologist of the Hucau of
Federal Agriculture, Washington, 1>.
t\, two experts sent to North Texas
to Investigate the appearance of the
aphis, commonly called the green bug.
In company with County Farm Agont
G. I . Everett, these gentlemen went,
out through the country in several dl
reel Ions from McKlnney to make oh-
fervn'bms. They found the Int'os'a-
tloii to be uniform in every neighbor-
hood and on every farm almost that
was visited. These experts say I hat
the only rellel that will lie of luimed-
iulo benelit, will probably be heavy
beating ralna, storms sleet or luill
and cold '.vent her. t >f course the ele-
mental conditions cannot lie controi-

Enemy of tlM> Green Huff.
These two entomological experts
state that there Is a small'Ily or isira-
slte that is a mortal enemy of the
green bug or aphis. These parasites
have also been found In some number*
In the Collin county wheat Held* visit-
ed. Under favorable conditions, these
purasltes multiply and develop oven
faster than do (lie green bugs. But
the green bugs have this advantage,
tliey produce their young from temp-
eruluo as low as 40 degrees upward
whereas the parasite does not repro-
duce and develop In large numbers
until the minimum temperature Is 58
or above. These expert visitors to
our county state, that the green bug
multiplies at a. rutlo of 20 to one each
female in ever seven days.

McKinni-y C<illfcr«HM-e.
Messrs. Relnhard and Gable and
County Farm Agent G. D. Kvcrolt had
a conference at !• o'clock Wednesday
morning ill the directors' room of the
Central Stale Bank In McKlnney. Be-
sides those gentlemen, the following
business men, bankers, county Judge
and newspapermen were present:
Avery Dowell, president of McKln-
ney Chamber of Commerce; Howell E.
Smith, cashier of the First National
Bank; .Henry W. Warden and Charles
II. Wells, vice presidents of the Col-
lin County National Bank; J. L.
Chapman, cashier of the Central Stute
Bank. County Judge T. O. Murray and
one of the editors o fthese papers.
Those McKlnney business men, ot
course, regretted to hear tho ills
couraging report on green hugs that
was made but In another sense they
think time is an important factor.
Forewarned Is forearmed to'a certain
extent. They urge farmers to follow
out tho above suggestions as nearly
as possible In the hope that as large
a portion of the wheat crop and
spring sown oat crop may bo snvyd
from tho ravages of the greim bug.
They uge farmers to Incrisise their
corn and feed crops and are fully con-
scious of the fact that the destruction
of a considerable part of the grain
crop moans ail Increase In eotloiiacre-
age which Is trying to lie avoided *nd
cut down this year In view Of tho
present demoralised cotton 'Market
conditions and tho big carry oVM* and
under consumption of the cotton
manufacturing Interests of ttta World.
Howell F. Smith stated that ffcrmers
had to come to the point whare they
must so diversify their cropa and so
engage In livestock and poultnr pro-
duction that they will bare sdtno In-
come dtiring practically every month
In Iho year instoad of dopsndlng sole-

BIG CROWD SPURN Mt KINNEY
Ql INTET ON TO VICTORY
Tuesday afternoon, in one of tho
fastest basket-ball games of the seas- "
on, Princeton went down In dofeul ut
the hands of the fast McKlnney quin-
tet to tho tune of 7 to 9. At no tlmo
durlngthc entire game was tho out-
come of tho gamo doubtful. Princeton
was both outclassed and outplayed at
all stages of the game. At. the end of
the first half, the score stood K to 3,
In McKlnnoy's favor. During the sec-
ond half, though, McKinncy got busy
and ran the score up to 21, while the
best Princeton could do was to add on-
ly six more points to their credit. A
good sized crowd of rooters of the Mc-
Klnney High School and some oil liens
of the city witnessed the gamo.
Harding was the most consistent
ncorei- for McKlnney, making 1$ of
the 24 points.
McKlnney Martin. Harding, Wlilto,
