Awoke in the open sea with all quiet and the cheer of a clear blue sky smiling down on a wide blue sea. Out of sight of land nearly all day, except for a few island, among them Elba, where Napoleon was king first . It is small and rocky. Also Corsica, which has some historical importance. It is a rather large island, apparently for the most part of solid rock, the base of which, at the water's edge, seems to lie cut smooth by time's tide and is of a peculiar green appearance. Sunset and then the stars just the same as ever. si Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1934. Pulled up to the wharf at Marseille, France, at sun rise. Breafst on the boat, and all ready to leave. A perfect pell-'ftfdl among passengers to get their pass ports ready and go ashore It took some time to gel through the customs, as French officers'were rather strict in their examinations. They opened one of my handbags but found nothing to tax. Leaving the old ship after cruising for 12 days and traveling 3,500 miles gave us just a little note of sadness. It had come to be almost like home We had heard the moan ing of the wind in her rigging and the replying swish of the seas on her great hull until it was almost like music when shut off. From the ship, we went to the hotel for dinner, and after walking around a few of the busy blocks wc boarded the train at 1:30 for Avignon, where we vis ited the |xalac e of the popes from 1305 to 1409, during ' which time nine popes lived there. It was more of a fortress than a religious edifice from its present ap pearance and was used and badly abused by soldiers quartered there during the World War. The town has the appearance of thrift and prosperity; 55,000 population. A drive across the Rhone River bridge in the adjoining lowgrounds reveals much natural beau ty Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, September 25, 1935. Left Avignon, France at 9:50 a. m., for a journey to Geneva by fast train, reaching Geneva at 5:15. x No long trip on my travels compares in beauty with this trip, which crosses the northeastern corner of France and traverses southern Switzerland. For mountain scenery, it compares favorably with any of the Appalachian system or the Adirondacks. The mountains extend on either side of the Rhone River Valley for almost the entire trip of several hundred miles, wooded practically the same as our own Caro lina mountains. They stand out most of the distance several miles apart, leaving a level valley between of unusual fertility, upon which is grown alfalfa hay oi several kinds, garden vegetables of many kinds, a mong them collards and other salads that we would call "greens." Grapes and apples are grown in abun dance; some very fine cows are seen grazing in the fields and some sheep. The people here have good horses, and I saw several men plowing with oxen yoked together. Lalso saw toward the southern end of the journey men trimming their mulberry trees. They were cutting them back to stumps from about 5 to 8 feet high. They do this to make them shoot out many young sprouts of suckers for next year to feed their silkworms. It would seem from the ap pearance of the gardens, fields, and hay stacks that neither man nor beast will go hungry in this country this season. Reaching Geneva, we went by bus to the Hotel Richmond, a fine hostelry with good food, including quail again. If you chance to pass this way, stop at the Richmond. Quite a party was pulled off at night. While I do not know just what it was, it was report ed to be a remarriage. The first failed to stick and the couple tried it over again at a party given by their friends. The party seemed to have been made up of the "grandees," judging from their appearance and the length of the cars in front of the hotel. You hear much English spoken here, more than in any country we have visited. Looking for a good day tomorrow. Geneva, Friday, Sept. 27, 1935. This has been one of the most eventful days of my entire trip, especially as it relates to current history. Our party started out early in the morning with oar clever Swiss English-speaking guide for a tour of the city. The air was right and the ^ssrit of the party was high, all surrounded by the natural and artificial beauties of life; my very soul was filled with the joys of life Of all the cities and scenery of my travels, none are more appealing than this. As you start thr trip, your eyes behold Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Europe, a beautiful sheet of water, some 60 miles long, but generally narrow. We saw many nice yachts and a multitude of little motor boats?our guide stat ing that this made up the world-famed Swiss navy which is the most successful in the world, never hav ing spilled a drop of blood and never having drawn a drop of blood from an enemy. We went to the public school building, where the world's first free-school system whs inaugurated in 1536, which is responsible for the beauty, culture, wealth, peace and happiness of the Swiss people. And it is evident that they have not forgotten the import ance of education, since we visited a school campuj at the recess hour and saw multitudes of children be ing given their health drills by the teachers. I have never seen better-dressed, cleaner, healthier-looking children at any time or place in my life than these We then visited the famous Calvin and Knox churchs. The Calvin church makes one think more of home than all the great cathedrals and the heathen mosques that we have been gazing at all over Europe and Asia. Much of the church is just as it was in Calvin's day, except for a small organ and some new seats or benches. A number of the old seats are just as they were several hundred years ago. The Russian Church, standing near by, is very beautiful from the outsije. I visited the room in which the International Red Cross was born, which has done so much for suf fering humanity everywhere. My next visit was to the City Hall, where the first international dispute was submitte'd for arbitration, j which is almost what the World Court and the League of Nations have been set up for. The first dispute to be settled by arbitration was the "Alabama'' case, and the room in which the conference was held is still called the "Alabama" room, to which the nations of the world point with.pride, because there was born a new and humanitarian Idea, whereby man might be governed by his better self rather than qiend himself exercising his beastly instincts to destroy or be de stroyed. The "Alabama" case will be remembered by all school children as the case of the United States against England for claims of loss by reason of Eng land's violation of neutrality laws in building and equipping the steamship "Alabama" for the use of the Confederacy. The "Alabama" sailed the seas of the world for two years and destroyed almost half of the United States merchant marine and a goodly num ber of her warship until she was finally destroyed in English waters near Southampton. The arbitration court found England in error and required her to pay the United States government the sum of $15,500,000. My next visit, to the League of Nations building, was a high point .in my life as I viewed the old build ing, still used ,and in which the League is now in ses sion, striving to preserve the life of a weak nation and check the avaricious nation by means of the prin :iples which the Master taught, rather than the cruel hand of satan. 1 was overjoyed to see at the entrance of the strong gate guarding the building the inscrip tion on a bronze tablet: "In memory of Woodrow Wilson, the founder of the League of Nations . . ." It is not hard to find what Europe thinks of Wood row Wilson; ahd all Americans, as to that. It is with the highest regard, with the sole exception of the United States Senate which, under the leadership of Henry Cabot Lodge, turned down the league. They ask why America, the best loved and most powerful nation of all the world at the end of the great war, failed to exercise the opportunities that were hers to make a lasting peace which would have averted,huge war expenditures and made friends of all men; rather than to neglect her o|>portunities and let the war equipment greedy gougers rule her country and incul cate hatred and suspicions of other people, so that the men whose hearts crave gold instead of God might continue, by and through their propaganda, to always keep the people in a turmoil. The new League of Nations buildings is a thing of beauty, though not quite ready for use. The work is being rapidly rushed to completion. It is 915 feel long and well propor tioned. Near the north end stands a library given the City by John I). Rockefeller at a cost of $2,000,000. At the northeast corner of the new building stand just a few Lebanon cedar trees. The largest and most prominent is named Woodrow Wilson. It is possibly 1,000 years old and 1 hope it will last through many coming ages. It is seldom that a man's spirit rises higher than that of his nation, but you can ask the world and the answer will be that W'oodrow Wilson's spirit towers well above the spirit of American politics. I failed to explain that no lovelier spot could have been selected for the location of the league home. Its very surroundings give one tht spirit of peace and justice, and as you look down on beautiful Lake Ge neva and raise your eyes to the foreign hills and view Mount Blanc, you are bound to acknowledge the pow er and goodness of the Omnipotent Creator of the Universe. We were next driven to the International Labor Office, of which most of the nations of the world are members. Our own country held out until recently, but is now a member. Iris a.very beautfiul build ing. This organization was perfected in 1919, so per haps the war did that much good, by teaching men that if they tyuld light side by side for each other's safety that the/could also work side by side for each other's happiness and welfare. Its general purpose is to secure social and economic security and improve the conditions of workers of all nations. Our own country, so far, is not a contributor to the scheme, but the American Federation of Labor has a prominent part there, and the late Samuel Gompers, who was re garded as one of America's big men in foreign lands, is honored by the league by having his picture in a prominent plate.- Of course, the United States Cham ber of Commerce has its meetings to discuss the se curity of the money power. So also does the Inter national Labor Organization hold its meetings to dis cuss means of securing food and raiment and a few privileges in life to light the paths of the laborers as they trudge from hovel to factory each day and along the homeward journey at night. Well, my purpose was to tell more about the beau ties of Geneva, but I got sidetracked. This is' a city where flowers grtnr and bloom on the lamp posts. Along the "white way," they have flower boxes formed around the lamp pasts, and I actually saw one box growing two stalks of our old American Indian corn. Around the edges of the parks, the terraces are set thickly. with all kinds of small delicate flowers of varied gorgeous colors. The backgrounds are of solid colors, generally green, with flowers formed in butter fly shape, usually with a wing spread of about 3 feet, and they emhrare almost all of the exact colon of the beautiful butterflies of our own country. 1 have not told it all, but for fear I may say something that some skeptic might not be able to understand. I will stop. Leaving Geneva in the afternoon, I boarded a train for Paris, reaching there at II p. m. I stopped at the same hotel where I spent a few nights on my out ward trip. I expect to make London tonight and be at Liverpool tomorrow for the home stretch. In most respects, this has been the best, or at least the happiest, part of my trip. i W. C. Mannning. 1 Cut Shrubbery and Weeds To Build Up Old Pasture The best way to renew an old, run-down pasture is to cut all the weeds and shrubbery and scratch j the soil to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. I This may be done with a heavy | spike-tooth harrow or with a disc I set almost straight so as not to de- | stroy the old sod. Fertilizer and seed are then sown. However, if the pasture is badly infested with obnoxious weeds it is advisable to break the land and grow some crop before reseeding for pasture. Rec ommendations for fertilizer and seed mixtures for various soils are contained in Extension Circular No. 202 an dcopies may be obtained free upon application to Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, N.
