    3. Bobby...I do recall the years I grew up as the good ole days. I can't recall not having bumper crops of food. I know we worried in later years about Daddy dying so young....and Mama said he always put out cotton poison, and some kind of dust on the crops. I do remember all of us lined up to go down the same row (one after the othr)picking worms off the cabbage. We maybe didn't have a bad drought, up until most of our farming ended about 1942. We had a creek that ran all across the property...don't know if that helped.I just can't remember bad timesI. Tha is until Daddy died...then we had it rough. Stella
