Cats Nip Fish As Farmer Tries Out Fertilizer Method
CHARDON June 28 George Bosworth read that the Pilgrim fathers dropped a fish as fertilizer in each hill of corn and tried it. But he forgot about the cats in the neighborhood. When Mr. Bosworth looked at his field today there were only neatly dug holes where the fish and corn had been, with cat tracks from hole to hole. He decided the Pilgrims had no cats and would stick to modern fertilizing methods.
