Dear Pearl,

Melba had a most interesting suggestion about the crow problem, Pearl. She says there are never any crows around the golf course when she plays and she's sure it has to do with the large population of feral cats who live in the woods directly adjacent to the ninth hole. They are very fierce as cats go and make everyone nervous with their general insolence. I think she may be on to something.
