Farmer Browns Boy Plans
for the ChuckS,
There is no Joy that's greater than
In aid Of other folks to plan.

If Johnny Chuck could have heard
and understood what Farmer Brown
said about drowning him out he
would have been very uneasy. But
Johnny Chuck didn't hear and he
wouldn't have understood II he had
heard, SO Johnny didn't worry. But
Farmer Browns Boy worried. Yes,
sir. Farmer Browns Boy worried. You
see he knew Just how his father felt.
He knew that If when the corn was
up those Chucks ate much of It. Farm
er Brown would insist that something
be done to those Chucks. He would
insist that they be drowned out or
shot or trapped. Farmer Browns
Boy couldn't blame his father much
for feeling that way.
of course" said Farmer Browns
Boy to himself, "I can trap those
two Chucks and carry them off and
let them go where they will do no
harm. But they have worked hard
to make this new home and 1t seems
a pity to upset all their plans. Then.
too. I like to see them around. I
wish I could talk to them and tell
them that they mustn't go in that
cornf1eld. There is plenty of food
for them on the other side Of the Long
Lane, and we will never miss the
clover and grass there. I just can't
bear to think of bothering them.
For several days Farmer Browns
Boy kept thinking about Johnny and
Polly Chuck. and trying to think of
some way of keeping them from be-
ing disturbed. But for the life of
him he couldn't think of a thing he
could do. He used to go down every
day to visit them, and they soon be-
came SO used to him that they would
allow him to come very near before
they disappeared inside their home.
The cornfield had been plowed and
narrowed. but 1t was not yet time to
put in the corn. 1t was while he
was down near the Chuck home look
idea came to him.
Farmer Browns Boy began to
whistle, a way he has of doing when
he is happy. II have it," said he to
himself. II have it! Chucks are very
fond of beans. They love young bean
plants. They are also very fond of
squash plants. I'll plant some
squashes and some beans just for
them. These will grow very nicely
between rows of young corn, and
Polly and Johnny Chuck won't bother
the corn when they can get those
other things. That's what I'll do. I'll
plant a garden for Johnny and Polly
Chuck"
N.Y. wouldn't Johnny and Polly
Chuck have been tickled had they
known what Farmer Browns Boy
was planning to dol But OF course
they didn't know, and. of course,
Farmer Browns Boy couldn't tell
them. In fact. Farmer Browns Boy

A pretty woman. flattered by being

the attractive young daughter, were
held spellbound by the brilliant
banter of the mother, which
amounted to a sort OF f1irtatfousuess,
to which they were blinded because
Of her motherhood.
