Then by hard work our girls got another basket making the score 13 to 17 in our favor. We are feeling pretty proud these days for of the four inter-scholastic contests which we entered during the past week, we won all. Friday night the debating teams won the unanimous decision over both Talent and Phoenix and Saturday evening the boys and girls basket ball teams from Gold Hill were defeated. When the debaters were asked how they did it they said there simply wasn’t much to it. Talent and Phoenix were both prepared but Central Point was prepared better. The next debate in the contest is with Glendale. If they are successful there they debate with Ashland and Klamath Falls and if successful there, they are put up against the champion of the Willamette valley towns. Verner Lynch and Delila Stevens, the affirmative team from Central Point won the unanimous decision over Mr. Beeson and Miss Withrow, the nega­ tive at Talent, while Jessie Chauncy and June Dunlap, the negative team of Central Point, won unanimously over Miss Mabel Sorem and Miss Maud Rice, the affirmative of Talent here at home. Phoenix was to have debated and a triangular debate held, but for­ feited her debates and left Talent and Central Point to fight it out. The judges were, at Central Point: J. W. Kern«, Principal of the Jackson School in Medford, Mrs. J. W. Kerns, and J. W. Gressley, Commercial De­ partment of the Medford High School, at Talent: Dr. A. C. Rollins, Pastor of the Methodist Church Medford, P. E. Palmer, Palmer’s Piano Place of Medford and A. J. Hanby, Principal of the Lincoln School in Medford. al weeks during which the adult beet­ les emerge and crawl about more or less. During this period, they seek shelter under any trash, vines, crop remnants, etc. about the field. STRAW TRAP METHOD Remove all crop remnants, trash, etc. and in early spring, place small heaps of course straw about the infest­ ed fields, about five piles to the acre. These should be turned over frequent­ ly because to prove most attractive, they should be eompar atively dry Examine carefully for beetles; ir, Cali­ fornia 23 to 80 bettles were collected from each heap of straw. As soon as breetles are observed in the straw, the piles should be burned with a quick fire and new traps made if necessary. This work to he effective, must be done reasonably early in the spring because if delayed until warmer weather, the beetles will become active and disperse over the field and begin the laying of eggs. It is urged that growers give this treatment a trial on heavily infested areas and report results. The war against the adult beetles strikes right at the heart of the trouble. Each fe­ male beetle under favorable conditions, will deposit from 25 to 125 eggs, allow­ ing 160 female beetles to the acre, this would mean at least 12,000 wireworms to the acre per season. A. L.
