A very unusual April 1st, not to
be confused with April fool, was
the big realistic steak fry which
was tendered by Maurice Mallow,
with the assistance of his friends.
It was held in the pasture near
the lake front in a cleared space
surrounded by trees all of which
showed nature’s aspect of ap-
proaching spring despite the fact
that it was still cold.
Huge bon-fires with their soar-
ing sparks’" lent’ 1 ightas well as ap-
preciated warmth to those who
gatheied around engaged in conver
&atiom While this visit was going
on f number of the more skilled
men' and women were busily en-
gaged in preparing and cooking the
food which was being prepared for
the guests. ,
These feasts, annually observed
by Mr. Mallow a? a courtesy to his
many friends, wTere on this occa-
sion, surprisingly topped off, as an
accompaniment of the sizzling
fried steaks by hot oven baked
biscuits. Along with these were
gleat pans of fried potatoes, boiled
pork and beans, peaches, onions,
pickles and lots of hot coffee.
In the coming and going which
started at 5 o’clock and lasted un-
til 10 p. m., it was hard to esti-
mate how many people attended
but the crowd eassly numbered sev
eral hundred.
Guests were not only here from
Frisco and community but 'they
came from Dallas, McKinney, Rich- mend recontroll if’rents rise unreas
ardson, Plano, Celina, and Prosper. J 0nable.
Among these were Mr. Mallow’s
father M. E. Mallow-, 92, of Dallas,
who was accompanied my his
daughter, and son. Also present
was his friend Mr. J. B. Cannaday
Sr., 91,of McKinney.
After much merriment and re-
unioning among the multitude all
were glad and grateful to have
been included in the generous hoc
pitality of Mr. Mallow and his as-
sisting friends.

A very interesting program was
given which included a talk by

great organization is important.”
She also stressed the fact that the

hopper infestations rend to run in
10-year cycles—and 1949 is the
tenth year of the present cycle.
There may be as many or more
hoppers this year than last—and
1948 was pretty bad
This prediction is made by II. O.
Johnston, state grasshopper con-
trol letder and head of the Texas
& M. College department of en-
tomology, on the basis of egg
counts made by USDA grasshop-
per control division workers.
Hoppers will begin to hatch in
South Texas within the next two
weeks, he said.
The worst centers of infestation
of the differential grasshopper, the
big yellow one with chevrons on
his legs—will be along the Brazos
between Waco and Richmond and
along the Trinity as far south as
Polk and San Jacinto counties.
Scattered infestations ar expected'
along creek bottoms in North Tex-
as as far east as Titus County and
to the West Cross Timbers.
A lesser—but still above normal
Grass- the South Plains and the Panhan-
dle.
The differential grasshopper can
be controlled by dusting along
fence rows and ditches, when the
hoppers first hatch, with either 15
popbds of 10 percent toxaphene or
15 pounds of 10 percent chlordane
per acre. After the insects move in-
to the fields, control is more diffi-
cult.
Toxaphene or chlordane can be
used against the migratory grass-
hopper where there is enough fol-
iage to hold the insecticide. In
areas of little foliage where the
hoppers work on the ground poison
bait is necessary. County agents _ .
