dangerous, but severe, storms. These

uation will bo the most Important
of the crop seuaou, because It will re-
locate the great field ol evuporalion
which will furnish the moisture un-
tile crop season of 1921 tin this con-
tinent. That field will cover a large
suction of tbe north Atlantic Ocean,
the center ol the field being about
half way oet'woen Newfoundland and

These facts give the starting point
foi anyone to study the crop weather
of 1921. The moisture from thai great

storms, and when there are only a few
severe storms during a crop season
tlii rainfall will be greatly lessened.
The rains from Ibis storm wave will
bring more ravoralile crop weathci to
many sections east of Rockies. Not
much change west of Rockies. Follow-
ing this storm the frosts will go to

Near May 1 another high, or low
temperature wave, will come nut of
the extreme northwest, beginning with
moderate temperatures, but the week

ItF-PliANTS CORN NEAR
HERE SECOND TIME
R. ,T. Straughnn, a well known and
successful farmer, living about three
miles north of McKlnney, has had to
plant his corn over the second time
on account of the frost. He states that
his wheat Is Improving but cannot
possibly make a normal crop. His
spring onts are looking fairly good.
Mr. Stranghun mowed down his first
crop of nlfitlfn Saturday. He states that
he will cut his cotton acreage down
this year to only five acres. He has
about too acres In cultivation and had
about 20 acres of cotton last year. In
Mr Straughan's opinion there Is little
inducement for farmers to plant any
cotton at all this year.

wounds received in the most destructive cyclone in the history
of Collin county which struck the little town of Melissa at 2:10
o'clock Wednesih> afternoon while there were hundreds of
people in town shopping. However, most of the people had
warning of the approaching tornado and scores sought places
of safety in storm cellars and others in whatever place they
could escape the storm's fury. One man crawled under a small
bridge and stood waist deep in water. He escaped unhurt. His
family went into a storm cellar.
Scenes of devastation and ruin whioh beggar description
exist in the little town today. Relief work which began short-
ly after the storm is fairly under way today. Directing a com-
mittee appointed hy Mayor Miller of McKinney, James T.

tendent; E. W. Merritt, R. C. Merritt, Mrs. J. E. Wiley, Mrs.
