COMMISSION CO
Received a letter from a young
man .in Plano wanting to know
how to get rid of the odor after
sprayed by a skunk. In my
young days this was done by
burying out clothes in the ground
a day or so, which was never
perfectly satisfactory. The odor
would come back every time the
weather turned moist. Recently
I wrote the New' York Zoologi-
cal Society and got the dope on
how to eliminate this odor. A
cup of ordinary household am-
monia in a bucket of water will
remove the odor of skunk perma-
nently almost instantly, they
say. Wish I had known this in
my boyhood days. I could have
saved myself from having to
sleep out in the yard at nights,
and my dog, Sam, from being
locked in the barn for days. at a
time.

With several other McKin-
neyites I attended the banquet
winding up the “Gay Nineties”
celebration in Plano last week.
They had a fine show in con-
junction, and a feature of this
stage show was a bevy of pretty
girls dancing the old “can-can”
in costumes appropriate for the
occasion. This is the dance that
changed the pattern for stage
shows in the U. S. A. Up to the
time it was staged, about 55
years ago, the most risque dance
in America was on the order of
the Floradora Sextet, which was
not at all daring. The advent of
the can-can dance swept the
country almost over night, and
those “terrible” dances were
staged everywhere. And too, ev-
erywhere the women stayed
away in droves;, the men attend-
ed in herds; bellowing and paw-
ing the earth. It was many years
before the best of our society ac-
cepted this kind of entertain-
ment, but eventually all suc-
cumed. The can-can changed the
American way of entertainment.

FARM OWNERS
TOLD OF DEADLINE
May 1 of this year is an im-
portant deadline for certain
owners of wheat farms which,
have been acquired by an agen-
cy having the right, of eminent
domain, according to C. R. Hil-
lis, chairman, (State, County)
ter to our Senator, Joe Bailey,
asking him to find out from gov-
ernmental sources what this was
all about anyway. Nobody in
Washington knew either, so he
wrote back, and he said that all
stated that we had caught the
fish just as it was feeding. We
knew better. The fish eggs were
as large as marbles. All other
fish eggs we ever saw were very
small. Recently it has been dis-
covered that a certain kind of
catfish male takes the female
eggs in his mouth and holds
them there for about six weeks
until they hatch. Only the male
does this, which may give rise to
the expression, “poor fish.” I

Local Businessmen
Escape Unhurt As
Fishing Boat Sinks
A trio of McKinney business-
men found out quite by accident
one day last week that mid-
This has been a good spring
for flowers; not too hot, and just
the right amount of rainfall. I
note that many people around
town are not mowing their
lawns, due, I believe, to the great
profusion of the blue-eyed grass
this year. We have a lot of them
out on Waddill at the old city
well station, and we are not
mowing them either. There
should be many more next year,
due to seeding this spring, but
for those who wish to cut their
lawns they need have no fear
that this will eliminate the
bluets, or blue-eyed grass. They
come up every year regardless
of whether they seed or not.
Wrote something of this in this
column last week, but many
called to be re-assured, and feel
that there are many others who
want to know too.

Looks like this is a natural
history column this week, but I
want to tell you of one of the
strangest ways to hatch young in
the animal world I ever heard
of. When a boy, we used to do a
lot of seining in East Fork, and
on several occasions we caught
good-sized catfish that had their
mouthes full of fish eggs. One
time we brought up one which
had a mouth full of partly-
hatched little fish. Nobody knew
anything about this, so Jesse
Shain of McKinney, wrote a let-

AUCTION
The May 1 deadline applies to
those owners who were so dis-
placed from wheat-allotment
farms during the period Janu-
ary 1, 1954, to August 28, 1958.
The chairman explains that
such an owner may file a no-
tice of his displacement and a
request that the allotment be
pooled and used to the extent
necessary to establish an “equit-
able” allotment for other land
owned or purchased by him.
Tenants on such land are not
eligile to file such requests and
in order that the transferred
wheat allotment may be effec-
tive for the 1960 wheat crop on
the other farm, however, the
owner must file the required no-
tices in the local ASC county
office not later than May 1, 1959.
Mr. C. R. Hillis points out that
only a few days remain before
this May 1 deadline for request-
ing such action. He urges, there-
fore, that wheat farm owners
who believe they are eligible to
request the county office imme-
diately if they want the allot-
ments to be effective on the new
land in 1960.
