OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
Aug 13,1923, the song "Yes, We Have No Bananas" is the number-one hit in the
nation Aug 15,1771, Sir Walter Raleigh is born Aug 16,1777, at the Battle
of Bennington in Vermont, General John Stark leads the Americans to victory
over the British Aug 18, 1587, Virginia Dare is born at Roanoke Island, the
first child born in America of English parents Growth is
the only evidence of life
Ask the Old Fanner; How can I discourage pigeons from roost
ing in the decorative eaves of my newly acquired old Victorian
home 7 NO, 111
You'll probably get lots of advice on this, but I find the best solution
is to get a bunch of small rubber snakes Fasten them around the eaves
so they dangle and move in the wind
Home Hints; Corn is ready to harvest when the silk turns dark brown in color
