In the Driftway.

This article presents the author's views on the stories related to snakes published in papers. The Florida press are filled with snake stories which are printed by newspapers. In the North in summer, it might seem that in this age of unbelief both sets of yarns would gradually die of anemia and malnutrition, but fortunately for the amusement of the human race there seems to be no immediate danger of such a catastrophe. At least the 1930 crop seems to be without blight or blemish, for in spite of the presence in the orange groves of what Florida newspapers call for short the "Medfiy," the St. Petersburg Evening Independent reports that the snake-story season has opened on the east coast of the State both auspiciously and conspicuously.
