How to Fight the Weevu

Ss,' (Wiregrass Farmer)
One of the correspondents of
The Wiregrass Farmer seems to
believe that the boil weevil>%s a
blessing for the farmers Of this
country. This may perhaps be
true, but we are reminded the
Good Book tells of other things
besides blessings being sent upon
the just and unjust, and to our
way of thinking the boil weevil
is decidedly not blessing. It has
been heralded as a blessing to
some sections Of Texas but that
is because they found that their
lands would produce wheat. rye.
oats and barley at large prof
1t. This country is the natural
home of cotton and no substitute,
as a money crop has az yet been
found for it. That Is. one that
would hold up from year to year
as the grain crops of Texas. If
1t were that We could find some
other crop that would be just as
profitable as cotton (when we are
lucky enough to make any of
that). we too might say that the
boil weevils are q blessing.

The Sane Fourth

The Sane Fourth
Time was when scannon crackers
roared
And toy balloons went sailing high,
And in the night the rockets scared
Across the velvet sky.
Time was when rusty muskets doomed
And pistols sounded in the dark
And "flower pots" of fire bloomed
In every public park.
Time was. when flame and smoke
From every village thoroughfare,
And careless children burned their
toes,
Their fingers and their hair.
Those painful days of smoke and
flame
Have folded up and gone their way.
The world is calm and dull ard tame
On independence Day.
The motors speed along the way,
Their drivers full of gin and rye,
And quietly they MAIN and slay
A score of passersby.
No rockets round the evening sky
Ger yonder sleeping hill;
The place is broken only by
The bursting of q still.
When darkness comes, the stick-up
plies
His trade by avenue and lane
And boulevard-but otherwise
The Fourth is Safe and Sane.

grandma, cherished for sentimental
