Interesting Experiences On
Tour Thru Western States
By MRS. H. C. MOSES
Last August I left my home on
Ellijay, with my daughter, Hester,
and husband, and Dr. and Mrs.
Bruschi, and crossed Smoky Moun
tains Park down, through Tennes-'
see, Arkansas, Oklahoma and on
through the middle west to San
Diego, Calif. ,
We made the trip in six days,
and it was very hot part of the
way, but rains cooled the air
through the hottest country. We
went first to Mexico where we saw
the fine old -Spanish buildings and
the beautiful Indian work. Then we
went to a very fine farming section
which was owned by the Spaniards
when California was taken from
Mexico. The old Spanish Light
house on Portloma is still standing
and lights the ocean on three sides.

The old Spanish mission is still
standing in Santa Rosa where the
first U. S. flag was hoisted when
California was annexed to the
United States.
We went to Los Angeles .and had
a boat ride across the buy to Cata
lina Island, which is very beautiful
and contains many things to inter
est the visitor. Had an hour's ride
in a glass-bottomed boat over the
under-water gardens and saw all
kinds of flowers and leaves, , many
kinds of fish and various kinds of
rocks.
A month, later we went to Los
Angeles to hear Postmaster General
Farley speak and met William
Gibbs McAdoo --at the big banquet
hall. .A thousand people had dinner
and heard the speeches. From there
we went to San Francisco and saw
former F'resident Hoover's home
and Sanford University and cross
ed the Golden Gate bridge. Wc
saw Alcatraz Island; and the state
prison, and then went up to Santa
Rosa to visit my son, Paul Moses
and family. Santa Rosa is a beau
tiful small town, surrounded -by fine
apple and grape, orchards, large
chicken and turkey farms and sheep
and cattle ranches..
We drove all day up the country
to the big redwood forest. The
trees are so tall that the sun can
hardly shine through them. 1 was
in an office in a tree, which had a
door and window with a table for
the registration of visitors, saw a
small house built in the hollow of
a tree and drove through the cen
ter of a tree. They have very fine
, tourist campy for people who wish
to spend the night in the forest.
As we came back, we crossed the
bay on a ferry so we could see the
Golden' Gate bridge from the under
side, but a heavy fog rolled in and
cut off the view. We crossed to
the other side of San Francisco and
went to Sacramento where we saw
the capitol just as it was being lit
up for the night.
We went next day to Yosemitc
park and saw some of the most
wonderful sights of nature. Great
rocks as straight up as trees, and
at one place we saw a rock which
has a mansion on top, and is called
"The Devil's Court House." There
is a good highway built which cir
cles the mountain and comes out on
top at a nice hotel where people
go to "stay and look off into the
valley below. On the other side is
the forest of the oldest and larg
est trees in the world,, the Sequo
ias, with burrs as large as half
gallon fruit jars, most of which
mash to pieces as they fall.
San Juaquin valley is a beautiful
country to see. Hundreds of acres
covered with fine sheep and cattle,
and the ibiggest fields of grapes in
the world. More raisins dried there
than anywhere. Fine crops of cot
ton and alfalfa and a lot of fine
land barren for lack of water.
We went to Los Angeles for the
big football game between Califor
nia and Alabama New Year's day
and had dinner with friends at the
Hollywood club. Heard the famed
negro band and saw more than
thousand people dancing at once to
usher in New Year's.
January 1 wesaw the grand pa
rade and floats at Pasadena before
noon, then the ball game in the
afternoon. We spent the rest of the
week in Los Angeles seeing.the pa
1 . e
raaes ana trie museums, and saw
the biggest landing field, and some
of the big planes. We were also
in a building where they cremate
bodies and bury them in a wall and
attended two funerals in the chapel,
one where they put the corpse in
the wall..
January 8th we attended the
Jackson Day dinner in San Diego.

Pulp Mills Provide
Vast Timber Market
Four pulpwood mills in North
Carolina and seven others in ad-
: . ... .... i !.. TT--1
joining staies provide xar . ncn
farmers and timberland owners
with a market for millions of dol
lars worth of cuir trees every year,
said R. W. Graeber, extension for
ester at State college, '
In a normal year, these mills use
around 480,000 pulpwood units of
160 cubic feet each'. Pulp mills pre
fer wood in five-foot lengths, and
a unit is 4 by 5 by 8 in size. Mea
sured in the old way, the annual
consumption ' amounts to 600,000
standard cords.
Cull, crippled, and crowded trees
that cannot grow into good poles,
piling, or saw timber will make
good pulp, Graeber explained, but
when a fine, straight saw-log type
tree is sold for pulp, it will not
bring as much as it would if sold
to a saw mill for lumber.
Graeber urges farmers to make
use of the pulp market by thinning
their woodlands and selling the
'"weeded out" trees for pulp. This
will give them a source of cash
income while they are improving
their stands of better trees.
Often farmers want information
regarding the location of pulp mills,
the kind of wood each uses, and
the territory from which the mills
can purchase wood; the amount and
quality of timber in a stand, how
to scale trees for pulpwood and for
saw timber; the best methods of
Woodland management and harvest
ing so as to get the greatest re
turns and at the same time provide
for a future timber supply.
Farmers, are invited to see their
county farm agents or to get in
touch with the extension foresters
at State college, who offer their
services without charge.
