Mrs. Mallard who has been living on a tobacco farm most of her life had always worked around the bam and had never gone ‘‘down into the fields be fore.” But Miss Smyth wanted to see the whole tobacco story and she was having a difficult time getting the tobacco gum off her hand when this interviewer ar rived. She is “not very keen” about Cokes. But admits that “Guiness is good for you.” When she was asked if she liked Guiness, Mrs. Mallard thought the interviewer was talk ing about guinea fowl, but was soon straightened out about the Irish national beverage. A busy round of visits to every facet of the tobaoco-land econ omy is planned for Miss Smyth— which is, incidentally, pronounc ed the same as Smith. She is anxious to see as much of. every part of American life as possible before she departs for the Green Hills of Ireland on October 20th. The latter part of her stay will be in Kansas where she will live on a farm as in Jones County.
