| Boil Weevil." Then the paper says,
NO. not cold enough yet," but at

kill out lot of pesky insects that
| would damage the crops. ..
| Am still hoping for suggestions
for our fall contest, several have
come in, good ones, too, but I want
all of you to say what you want,

were in a fast state of decaying.
| Also found one lower left bicupid,
