The department advises pond and small lake owners against stocking the species of crappies raised in the state hatcheries, declaring them to be unsuited for those bodies of water.

CAN BE PURCHASED HERE AT REASONABLE PRICES SPORTING COODS LADONIA'S MILLION CRICKETS By BILL THOMPSON i The News Sports Editor LADONIA Unlike most Texas ranchers, John Kean of Ladonia tends his herd with an adding machine and not a horse.

The herd in Kean's case numbers something more than one million and fishing worms, not cattle. And the spread is Kean Cricket Farm, located in a brick building near the railroad track on the south edge of Ladonia. Kean doesn't rightly know just how many crickets he does have. Worms, either. But the business that 'started as a hobby for the semi retired newspaper printer is rapidly approaching full time proportions.

This being the fishing season, business is brisk for the Kean Shirley Named New President At Golf Club The new president of Paris Golf and Country Club here is Robert Shirley. Shirley and other new officers were elected here this week for the club year of 1957-58. They take office immediately.

Daily shipments go out to bait dealers over the Southwest and the cricket is rapidly growing in popularity among the anglers. To fill the orders, the Ladonia printer keeps a rotating crop of crickets going.

The bins in his building now contain crickets from the size of a gnat to -full grown. Grasshoppers, and not first interested Kean in the bait business. He had the idea of growing grasshoppers for fish bait out of their usual season. After numerous experiments with not too successful results, Kean turned to the hardier cricket. The outcome is fairly obvious, when you step inside Kean's building at Ladonia.

Kean found the crickets hardy and prolific. Their wants are simple water, a cool atmosphere and daily rations of chicken mash and the market for them is good. "This has grown out of the hobby stage," explains the enthusiastic Ladonian. "The cricket is becoming more and more popular among the fishermen." As a sideline, Kean added worms to his production recently. Now they're thriving in a dozen vats and other receptacles.

The crickets are Kean's pet project, however. Three years ago. he first attempted to raise them. The stock grew each year. Last summer's heat, beaming down on the sheet iron roof of the Kean C.ricket Farm building, wiped out thousands of his stock.

But a system of fans, with water behind them, has been added this year to keep the temperature down. Heating in the winter is a problem, too. Temperatures must be kept in the 70 to 90 degree bracket. Kean first started his business in a downtowr. Ladonia building.

It rapidly outgrew the original site, however, and the owner spotted a brick building on the railroad track formerly used by a cotton oil company. The present building, occupied two years ago, proved to be perfect. A nearby'pool complete with pump offers ample water for the Kean operation. The life of a cricket at Kean's Farm is a simple one. Mama cricket deposits her eggs in the sand of her breeding bin.

At birth, some 25 to 35 days later, the young crickets are about the size of a gnat. They resemble the adults but have no wings. Their rale of growth depends on the temperature. At the proper temperatures, however, the crickets reach the proper fish bait size at, nine weeks. The diet is simple, chicken mash.

Big tin bins that house the crickets 5,000 to 10,000 per box line the walls and floor the building. They chirp and grow under Kean's watchful eye. Spiders and other insects must be kept away. The walls of the bins must cither be painted with slick enamel or waxed to keep the crickets from crawling out. The crickets are shipped via mail or express.

Kean uses a special breathing bait bucket for shipment. His biggest individual shipment thus far lias been 2,000. Worms, too, have problem profitable and interesting for Kean. He added them as a sideline to the crickets and now has literally I thousands of them red wigglers, Georgia wigglers and a special i Hula Hula worm from Arkansas I that is rapidly growing popular i among the valley fishermen. Kean is experimenting with compost arttl other mixtures for growing the worms.

His compost heaps have grown vegetables to phrnominal sizes. Because of his interest in the cricket business, Kean invites inquiries from anyone interested in raising them. To those who send a stamped envelope, he'll answer any questions and give details of flip operation. In addition to fish bait, he selh brood stock of crick- els. Kean's address is Ladonia.

Texas. Thr next slop in the Ladonia printer's fish bait experiments is a new attempt at raising grass hoppers the year around. This fall, he plans to po to West Texas and bring back brood slock of that area's big "donkey hopper," a large grasshopper. "I still believe they can he raised the year around," he offers. "Fine fish bait, and I'm £o- ing to snr.ther try.

FOOD, WATER Kean's crickets thrive on a diet of chicken mash, and keep cool with water. Here John Kean places fresh water in a bin of some 5,000. (Paris News Staff Photo). I-'ISHIN' Some of the larger Kean crickets look like this. These will be ready for fishing in a week or so, and may wind up on a hook anywhere in the nation.
