“I’ve too much work to spend time
cleaning fence corners,” declared a
farmer when his neighbor asked why
he allowed weeds to grow on line

"For Instance!" observed his caller

other.

now there's some city acquaintances
of my daughter coming out, and they
might possibly buy the place if we
could get it tidied up— and there's a
big crop of fall weeds in the front
lot.
I guess that's enough, for in­
stance, to keep me from puttering
around the fence corners with a grass-
hook after weeds.”
