The farmer and the chicken
hawk story used in this column
recently brought a response this
week from Mr. Edwin E. Judkins
of Bristol, Virginia, in the form
of comment and an additional
story, both of which are much
appreciated. He writes:
"Dear Mr. Whiten or: I read
with interest your article in the
Herald-Courier. I had never
heard the story about the farm
er and the hawk.
I have heard-a story about
a farmer shooting birds in his
cherry tree. The birds were
eating all the cherries, and the
farmer decided to do something
about it. This was in the days
of the muzzle-loader shot gun*
The farmer could not find any
shot in the house, so he loaded
tihis gun with a box of tacks.
Then he went out and fired and
tacked birds up all over the
tree. However there were so
many birds they pulled the tree
up by the roots and flew away
with it."
Mr. Judkins, who is 84 years
old, adds a postscript to remirri
us that travel in his youth was
not without its hazards, even
(or especially) when the auto
mobile came along.
"I stayed all night in Boone
fifty years ago (say 1922 or
1923 in February or March). I
was traveling in a Ford car,
Model T. I had been in eastern
North C arolina as a salesman.
The next morning a highway
truck pulled me for about two
miles down grade through a sea
of mud. " (I might say tint only
the cars have changed, Mr. Jud
kins. Your experience was re
peated many times in the flood
that swept this area during the
latter part of May. )
Some weeks ago I talked
with Jim Byrd, of Valle Crucis,
North Carolina. At that time
he told me of a number of ways
early farmers in that area faght
the insects which invaded their
fields and gardens. He also
passed along a couple of stories
that undoubtedly have been told
many times around the huge
pot-bellied stove in the H. W.
Mast general store.
The first story emerged as a
by- product of his suggestion for
using garlic to ward off certain
types of insects from vegetable
and flower gardens.
"There was a man who liv
ed in the Valley," says. Jim,
"who not only used garlic to
fight bugs, but liked it so well
that he ate it three times a day
He could blow his breath in a
ground hog’s hole and oit the
varmint would come gasping
for breath.
His breath was so bad that
when he cam e down to Mast's
store to do a bit of trading, he
ran everybody out of the store
except H. W. who couldn't
smell. This way he and H. W.
could transact their business in
private. "
Jim also tells the story of
Uncle Willie and the blackgum
free. . . "Uncle Willie was

Rev. Richard Morgan
PICTHER
working a garden and there was
a tremendous blackgum tree in
the middle of it which shaded
his vegetables so much that the
garden didn't produce the way
he figured it should.
For two years he worked the
garden and kept asking around
how he could kill the tree with
out having to cut it down and
haul it off. Finally he came
to me and I gave him a remedy.
"What you do, " I said, "is
get you a brace and bit and bore
you a good-sized hole all the
way to the heart of that black
gum. Then you find you a
sweet-tater just long enough
and skinny enough to fill up that
hole. Poke the tater in the hole
and seal it up. I guarantee you
that blackgum will be dead in
ten days—of the heartburn. "
Two readers have sent ' me .
the words to "Rosewood Casket"
and since a number of people
have asked for copies, I'll in
clude the song in next week's
column.
