The 1 section through here ? and ? ? in fact, most all of Oklahoma, has good roads. A fine turnpike con- , nects Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Tulsa also has fine office, bank, and municipal buildings and beau tiful churches. Several of our group went out early that Sunday morning to see. the Buxton Ave. Methodist Church ? ultra-modern, they say. The Angus Valley Farms Flanked by a beautiful, wooded. . low hill on one side (not far from Tulsa) and extending, front and back, one by one and a half miles, lies the Angus Valley Farms, own ed by J. T. Walker, banker of Tul sa, and purebred Angus breeder. The farms, comprising nearly 2. 000 acres with about 1.600 mostly in pasture, are an inspiration?or should be, to any cattle man visit ing them. There are, of course, as good Angus cattle being bred else where, but the writer has never yet seen them?and this was about the concerted opinion of most of our folks. $30,000 to $40,000 is nothing un usual for a good, young pedigreed sire from this herd, or $3,000 for a calf 14 months old. Some of our group, both men and women, liked to go up and rub the huge bodies of the jet-black, curly-haired, broad-backed, deep, short-legged, gentle animals. Lou Singleton even talked about having her picture made with one. Natural breeding is practiced here, and Holstein cows are used < ift ? ? ^ I ? it tor nurse-cows. After the visit and lectures were over a wonderfully sumptuous dinner was served on the lawn of the office building, a dinner with all the "trimmings". | But night is on now!?even before we had finished; .so, after linger ing awhile, we drove back to Tul sa, for the night. Sunday we drove through the re mainder of Oklahoma, the country, becoming more arid and less pro ductive as we approached the Kansas border. At this border, just inside Kansas we were stopped at the "Port of Entry" and delayed for sometime? "It certainly is shabby-looking Port of Entry." said someone?and to this we all agreed. Because of this, and impressions gained later on cnroute. by the time we reached Garden City, Kansas (for the night), we had not formed a very favorable opinion of this part of Kansas. But around Garden City it was very nice. About Dodge City we struck the Arkansas river ag^n and con tinued on in this valley for miles and miles, or into Pueblo, Colora do, and beyond. After entering Colorado, especi ally, the curious and colorful rock formations were noticeable, and in creased as we proceeded on to Canon City and Royal Gorge. The wonders of this gorge will be told in our next article. It is believed the horse was first domesticated about the third mil lenium B.C. WOUNDED IN ACTION U Ko rea on July 20 is Pfc. Robert ,D.
