The firm owns 4Vi million acres of mahogany tiin berlands. and: operates scores of mills, and even owns villages. Mr. Prevost is one o the firm's customers, using a lare ouantitv of mahogany in the manufacture of furniture. I never thought I d. ever see houses built of solid mahosanv. I one village In Mexico, alt lumber used was solid mahogany, since fliey had wo other type suitable for building,' he said. The 12 visitors from the state made a trip back !nto the heart of the Jungle, and saw every phase of lumbering as carried on In Mex ico. "Some is highly jnechantaed, and still la other sections, the op erations are carried on in a primi tive fashion. In some of. the ter ritory, it is so rugged, and rocky, that even modern tractors cannot make headway. In the dense lun- gles, the huge machines make a path stopping at nothing under a 24-inch tree." The Americans could not eet ac customed to the highly seasoned Mexican foods, and literally fasted at times. The water systems in var ious villages, and even lareer cities were so primitive that the visitors drank coffee, and never used "raw" water. Mr. Prevost described the dav as extremely hot, and the nights Drought a penetrating damp cold ness, which added. to the discom fort of those unaccustomed to such climates. The DHltv attenrloH a hull fioM in Mexico City before the'ir return home. The occasion was colorful, and filled with excitement, al. though the Americans did not seem to get the "thrill" out of seeina six bulls killed as did the yelling throngs of Mexicans. Some of the visitors had to leave the fight soon after the torture of the animal startedand the blood began to spurt. . The fight gave the visitors an in. sight into the habits, and favorite sport of the Mexicans, although It kept some of the folk from the States from enjoying steuks for a long time. .-, . , The trip was made bv Diane from here to Mexico. While in Mexico they used every means of conveyance, from narrow gauge railroads, boats, private plane, car, and truck. Since Mr, Prevost is an excellent golfer, he had an opportunity of playing on one of Mexico's largest courses, and the president's son also a talented golfer, followed the foursome, but did not play. A visit to a seacoast town, to see export operations made a Dro- f ound impression on Mr. Prevost, because there he saw a shipment manogany oeing loaded on ship, and a closer look revealed the ihlpment was being mad tn his plant at Bryson City, which spe cializes in mahogany furniture.
