Vernal Equinox
What man is there over whose mind a bright spring
morning does not exercise a magic influence?
Carrying him back to the days of his childish
sports, and conjuring up before him the old green field
with its gently waving trees, wl
birds sang as he has never heai
since . . . where the sky seemed
and the sun shone more brightl;
where the air blew more freshlj
over greener grass and sweete:
smelling flAwers, where everyt!
wore a richer and more brilliant
than it is ever dressed up in now!’
Dickens (1812-1870) wrote this
of spring fever. Dandelion greens v
mm C) are the tonic of choice for March 20, we’re told.
Spring brings health, heralding summer’s
wealth.

Paradise Tobacco
Attention Tobacco Farmers:
If you do wish to process your tobacco,
make sure you know what your charges are
for delivery, threshing and commission
costs.
Make sure you also know that your out
of-state man has a good reputation. If you
are satisfied with that, then process your
tobacco, but remember you possibly would
be better off if you took special care of your
tobacco in your barn. That way you can’t
blame anybody else for your judgment!
My recommendation is not to plant
another crop until your crop is sold.
