Turnip Year
By Aunt Aggie
When you see a farmer, now-days
gittin' food in fact'ry cans,
A-complainin' of the livin' he's been
makin' of his land,
You c'n figure that he never did
know nothin' of hard times,
Such as we all did in Oklahoma back
in eighty nine.
Course there was some things, like
side meat that we always had to
buy,
For the soil was tough an' drouthy
an' starvation as pretty nigh;
Even then, though (we'as believers
in the sod we'as turnin' up,
So we lived on poor old turnips, be-
in' 'bout only crop.
Turnips fried an' turnips boiled was
the mainstay of our grub—
Different ways of cooking turnips was
the housewife's biggest rub—
There was times we ate raw turnips
—you c'n bet we had no gout—
Then, fer servin' somet'hin' dainty,
like* we'd put on turnip kraut.
Farmers now-days feels, I reckon,
like they're hoein' a long hard
row,
When they git so little profit from
the wheat an' oats they sow
But they'd orter jes' remember 'bout
the scanty bit o' cheer
That us eighty-niners gathered
through that early turnip year.

Let us have by all means the citi- E
zens of Lexington take an interest r
in this movement and help the boys
along to re-organization. Boys look
for the older men to "big brother"
them, and the boys need just such
care and interest manifested in them.
The summer seasn is now just around
the corner. The boys will need re-
creation of some kind. They need
to go fishing, take long hikes, camp
out ,and various other things. Who
did you say would be scout master ?
