Lesson from my grandfather, PawPaw, Kempis McKinney, Venerable Ancestor:
If you want to get rid of snakes in a field, cut down the weeds where they hide and turn over the dirt. Be sure to wear thick boots when you do because you'll be forcing them to move and they will be dangerous. In addition, set out smoking pots to smoke them out once the weeds are gone. It's dangerous and takes time, but worth it if you want to plant good crops without fear of being bitten.
*apply this truth and parable in various ways and places*
PS: A friend added: "Ahhhhh, but when you do away with their hiding place and smoke them out into the open then you must "whack" their heads off. Never give a snake the grace to come back. (Sorry if that sounds too harsh) IJS"
