INOW FORECASTS
GOOD GRAIN AND
V FRUIT YIEUIS
Commenting on the big four-
inch snow, that fell here, Wed-
nesday and Wednesday night,
Joe Foster, veteran McKinney
citizen and native of this county,
stated that it presages a good
com and grain year for farmers
of this county. According to his
experience, winters of big or fre-
quent snows are nearly alway?
followed by good corn and grair
crops.
The snow produces a season
that is absorbed by the soil to
the very best advantages. It al-
so tends to lessen the insect
danger, and it retards the too
early rising of sap in fruit trees
and, therefore, gives greater as-
urance of a good fruit crop to
follow.
Mr. Foster was born and rear-
ed in the Bloomdale communi*
ity and made a success as £
farmer. He now owns a home on
North College Street where he
and his good wife reside.

McKinney High
Lions Defeat
Farmersville 74-9
The McKinney High Lions,
rapidly assuming the position of
formidable contenders for some
kind ••of honor, turned on the
power Friday night to roll up
the landslide score of 74-to-9 on
an absolutely helpless Farmers-
ville High quintet that never had
a chance.
Coach Marshall of the Fighting
Farmer group had only meager
material to start the season with
and he has done a fine job, de-
spite the looks of the top-heavy
score that the Lions ran up on
his group.
Coach Noble J. Atkins of the
local group took occasion to try
out a number of his substitutes,
all of whom gave a good account
of themselves. Captain Bruce
Moreland of the locals did not
enter the gray, and Flannery, s
highly polished, sharpshooting
youngster took his : place at the
start of the -game, turning in
a wonderful performance until he
fouled out. The contest was ex-
tremely rough.
McKinney held a 16-to-2: ad-
vantage at the end of the first
quarter. They pushed it to 33-to-
6 at the half and in the third
quarter ran wild to pile up a
57-to-7 advantage.
The Lion second-stringers de-
feated Wilson, 36-to-14, in the
first contest of the night Avith
Elbert Roberts and Jack Odle
tieing for high honors.
The Plano High Wildcats,
coached by Prof. L. N. Crabtree,
kept pace with the Lions in the
Class A race by nosing out Ce-
lina, 34-to-32, at Plano. The Bob
cats, coming along smoothly at
this time, showed great improve-
ment. Crabtree started a line-up
of Lowrance and Rutledge, at
forwards; Rutledge, center; and
McCreary and Butler, guards.
McKinney is scheduled to meet
the Wildcats next week in the
series that will decide the county
championship among Class A
teams.

ress of the only state that existed as
