Farmers in the eastern section of
our county are complaining of the
grasshopper pest and the continued
dry weather which has prevailed in
that section for over month. One
of our farmer friends from near Bar
ton was in town last week and said
that the crops were almost an entire
failure in his section and with the
dry weather and the grasshoppers
| combined the grass crop would be
wholly insufficient to feed the cattle
for even a portion of the winter.
You needn't wait for almanacs
and weather prophet to tell you what
the weather will be if you take the
advice of an old colored woman given
me the other day Watch for
the last Friday of the month says she.
What the weather is on that day,
that will it be throughout all the fol-
lowing month. A dry last Friday in
July means drought in August. A
cloudy last Friday in August, and
the sun will shine little in September.
The old woman solemnly asserts that
she has watched last Fridays for 30
years, and never once in all that time
has the sign failed.
A Narrow Escape.
