`OLD FARM WIVES' TALES' TO BE DISCUSSED

Humorist Pat Leimbach will tell "Old Farm Wives' Tales" at the Feb. 19 Cape Girardeau Executives Club meeting.

Leimbach, referred to by The Wall Street Journal as "The Erma Bombeck of the Farm Belt," is a farm wife from northern Ohio. She is an active partner with her husband and son in a fifth generation potato, vegetable and grain farm.

She dispenses advice to frazzled farmers and harried farm wives on such subjects as how to cope when he says, "Get your coat on. I want you to help me tow the truck," or "Today we're gonna sort hogs."

Leimbach draws on her experience as wife, mother, teacher, church woman, neighbor, grandmother and disgruntled AARP member.

She has spoken in 45 states and is the author of three books.
