The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1951-11-26

by Rabbi Abraham Lavitan
/ Al For The Best
The great Rabbi Akiba, who
lived during the Roman conquest
OF Israel, was staunch believer
that the destiny of everyone is
guided from Heaven above.
He travelled a great deal, and
due to the very limited means of
conveyance in those ancient times.
the scholar had his own donkey
which was his sole means of trans.
portation. He was an early riser
so he carried rooster TO awaken
him when the morning star APP
peared. He also carried a candle
to enable him to study at night.
On one of his trips the sage
came TO small town and asked
for a nights lodging; but none
was to be had. The residents were
hostile to strangers and the rabbi,
after trying several places, final
ly decided to sleep in neighbor-
ing forest very close to town.
The wandering rabbi selected a
spot in the woods that was as com.
Portable as could be under the cir
cumstances, and lighting his can.
die, proceeded to unload his beast.
When all his possessions had been
removed from the donkey's back,
and the animal was fed, he sat
down and started to study by the
light of the candle.
Not more than a few minutes
had passed, when suddenly huge
wild cat pounced upon the rooster
and both disappeared in the
woods.

with his studies. He had not been
able to do very much when he
heard the loud braying of his
donkey He looked in the direction
of the noise, and there was an on.
ormous lion carrying off his little
donkey While the lion was carry.
ing off his donkey, strong gust OF
wind blew out his candle, and
there he was in tie dark forest all
I alone.
The learned sage thought for 9
moment and said to himself
Thank God, it could have beer
me instead of the donkey. He
unrolled his blanket, tucked him
self in, and soon was fast asleep.
The rabbi awoke when it was
already daylight, and returned Il
the town on foot. He was greatly
surprised at the great excitement
and commotion among the towns
| people Upon inquiry he learned
that a large band of robbers had
attacked the town during the
night, and robbed and killed man,
of its inhabitants.
Upon hearing lis, Rabbi Akibs
+ said you see. my friends. how
everything happens for the best
Had you given me lodging las

robbed or perhaps killed. If the
candle had not been extinguished
or the roster crowded, or the don
key had brayed, the robbers woulc
surely have found me in the for

Wheat Crop
Falls Short

Madison County, like the t
of Ohio, produced disappointing
wheat crop this season. The aver
age yield in the county, the Ex-
tension Office reported, was
around Is bushels to the acre.
In some cases the yield was as
low as 10 bushels, it was report
ed Friday.
The extra severe winter, la tie
seeded wheat falling to get start.
and a cold spring, were factors
contributing to the low yield
throughout Ohio.
Growers said yields slipped far
below both last years average and
that for the 10-year period start
ing in 1910.
The Federal crop reporting SER
vice last July l estimated the
1851 Ohio wheat crop at 40,026,-
900 (M) bushels. Last years yield
was 46,596,000 mi bushels and
the 10-year average 46,583,00
tM) bushels.
The services Aug. ! report is
due next Friday and no federal
information is available before
then. But an independent associat-
ed Press survey confirmed tn e
prevalence of low yields.
Montgomery County reported
an average yield of 13 bushels an
acre, compared with an average
17-bushel total.
Hamilton County reported
slightly brighter picture. Yields
generally ranged from IS to 20
bushels an acre. about in line
with last years 17-bushel aver
age.
Clark County reported one of
its poorest crops. Elevator m n
said the grain was wet and bad"
and that the yield ranged down
ward from 30 bushels an acre TO
as low as six.
Marion County farmers report
ed crops below the average of
21k bushels an acre in h a sec
ton.
But the weather wheat raisers
blamed for damaging their crops
favored oats growers in Marion
County. They reported oats yield
at record highs with some farms
boasting of 80 bushels to the acre.
