As Told by Bobby... Poison

I read an article the other day about tobacco. It was in the Wenatchee Dailey World. I am a little older than the editor who now calls the paper the Wenatchee World. Things Change!

The article caught my attention because as most of you know I have a huge tobacco can collection, with over 1,000 pocket tobacco tins. As I looked up there on the wall there were many of the tins looking back at myself. There are many cases on my walls, and it all started because of a visit to the Goodwill Store that was on Wenatchee Avenue. My good friend Joe Lyons’s wife Mary had become the manager and I had needed to talk to her about making a payment on the twenty acres on Stemilt Hill that I had purchased years before. That being said the loading dock was in the back and it had a large dumpster. Mary was throwing stuff in it. I climbed up the ladder and looking down there in the dumpster was two pocket tobac-co tins. One was like new and GREEN (that is Bobby’s favorite color). So, I said “Mary can I have those two can?” Yes was her answer. Jumping down into the dumpster to my great delight was a Holiday pocket tin. This little episode started Bobby collecting pocket tobacco tins.

This article in the now Wenatchee World went on to talk about the history of tobacco use by people. As it turns out it all started in North Central Washington, Yes! North Central Washington. It appears that the na-tive Indians grew small gardens of native tobacco for their rituals and such. Of course it was not very strong and the plants were small. But through trade the plants went all over the Americas. When the Spanish came to Central America, the plants were taken to Spain and Turkey. There the plants were highbred into the tobacco that we all know. Because the American plants were weak, and only used for rituals until then of course the trappers came West with the highbred tobacco the native people all got hooked. The article went on to say that this is a known fact because with modern equipment the clay pipes of as far back as 1000 year and more have this tobacco residue, and as such are older than any other tobacco.

This all comes to mind because I was raised on the farm, and as such used black leaf forty on chickens for mites. That stuff would kill anything. I have used poison all my life in one form or another. Tobacco, arse-nic of lead and all types of farm sprays. I don’t like to use poison, but in my world I have always had to. There are two airo fan aluminum end pieces on my deck that I use as art, and I am looking right at them now.

Brothers and sisters is it not a treat to know tobacco started in Central Washington? I did it again! There was an invasion of rats at my house. It was so bad that one morning while having my tea three rats ran across the floor, and they were in the walls, chewing my plants, eating apples off my table, eating squash in the pantry, making holes in the walls, and tormenting my sleep at night. So, Bobby went to the store, yes sir. I spent $50.00 on poison grain, Tomcat Rat Killer, and traps. They are all dead now. The house smells bad, but I did not us a ’22 in the house. As I patched the holes in the walls I am reminded of poison. You bet I hate it, but Bobby will always have to use it. Damn it. As a young man I loved to smoke tobacco. The very sole of Wenatchee has and always will be tobacco. Poison is the name of the game in this valley. Poi-son spray in every orchard and it goes back over 1000 years. What a wonderful place.

Rattlesnakes, locoweed, and tobacco. No wonder the sprayers go every day. Forgive us all. We are all in-nocent.

Bobby
