IN late hour last night. Didn't in
tend to do so.
The songster had the audacity to
build a nest ir vine and within three
feet of porch swing.
Just after sundown she sought her
nest First noted it in a rustic in the
vine Turned around. Off she flew to
tree fifty feet away. The human
being was too near. Or was it the
aroma CD of an ageing pipe?
Stayed with the swing. Wanted to
see what would happen.
She remained in the tree. Left the
swing Disappeared indoors. Peeped
out. The little bundle Of nerves had
returned to the vine. Came out. Off
she went. Back to the tree. Then shrill
notes. She fused. Ruffled her
feathers.
II appeared indoors again. Peeped
out Another rustic in the vine. And
a moment later, all peaceful. The
mocking bird was home for the night
No beds to turn down. No cat to go
out of doors.
The spirit of the farmer who is un
fortunate enough to have a crop of ex-
c.ident cotton on fine river bottom
land only to have it submerged by
high river is strangely optimistic in
face of it all.
Mike Manahan, former Cameron
county deputy sheriff but who quit Of
ficering to farm, is typical of the pro
ducers who suffered from the recent
high waters.
He farms down the river from Browns
vile. The news was that his crop was
drowned out.
.'How's your CROP" he was asked yes
terday.
All right. Going to work it out
satisfactorily"
And several weeks ago it was re-
ported complete loss.
The farmer is a natural born> opti-
mist. If be weren't, he certainly would
not remain long farmer.
A case in point. A certain Cameron
county pioneer rented ground outside
the irrigated lands. The ground was
wonderfully fertile, but it was subject
to overflow. He knew that any size
crop. He took the chance.
Last year he made an excellent crop.
Profited very we'll by it.
He decided to take one more long
chance, since he had a stake from the
previous crop.
The high river came. His crop went
with it. And it was as beautiful crop,
before the waters, as one could wish to
see.
and we'll wager he goes after it
again.
But, then, we all have our troubles.
Out in California they have earth
quakes.
In Kansas, Oklahoma and other parts
of he central west, it's lcycones.
In the north and northeast it's bliz-
yards.
The good Lord gave so much down
here in soil and climate that it would
have been entirely too easy if there
weren't something to make men Of US.
:" BY the sweat of thy brow" or words
to that effect.
But there's a minimum of it here.
wnsviIle yesterday afternoon
ginned it's first bale for the 1925 sea-
son. Piedad Ramos of ViIlanueva, up
THE river from Brownsville, brought in
the first bale, receiving prize Of S25
offered by the Peoples Ice & Manu-
featuring Co.
Right on his heels came Hulon Ster-
ling with a bale from his farm near
Olmito.
Rains. though spotted, have tended to
hold back the crop in the immediate
Brownsville vicinity, which seems to
have been receiving more than its share.
Mr.. Sterlings farm near Olmto has
been wet a-plenty, he says. But five
miles away he had another farm that
was hardly touched by rain.
