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.

shelter under any trash, vines, crop

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

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

would mean at least 12,000 wireworms
