committee to show us where to find
the things so essential to supply th5
cravings of hungry man. After
we had breakfasted the automobiles
began to roll up to whirl us across
the wonderful hills and along the
fertile valleys of the northern sec
ton of Pendleton county. We made
short stop at Butler, beautiful
little city nesting among the YER
dant hills. The city was decorated
in our honor with flags, flowers,
sweet clover and many other things
that looked sweet to us, but my wife
being a married woman and may
read this article, | will not call any
names, but the boys in the crowd
know what mean. We had a few
short speeches by such notables as
Lieut.. Gov. Black and others.
We were driven over many majes-
tic hills covered from base TO sum-
nit with alfalfa and sweet clover,
while the busy bee could be heard
on all sides humming his homely
song as he gathered honey from the
sweet clover for the use of mankind.
We visited the dairy farm of A. l..
Caldwell and spent some time in
looking over his herd of milking
Holsteins. They are beauties to say
the least of them. We next stopped
at the farm of G. F. Barnard and
looked over his herd of Shorthorns
and found them all to be beauties |
from the ground up. We then took |
a long run into Falmouth, our start
ing point, where We found a great |
dinner awaiting us. | have tried to
think of words to describe that din
ner but my vocabulary is inadequate.
That dinner and the ones who served
it will be bright spot in my men,
CRY while life endures. In the after
noon We were taken on a run
through the southern part of the
county. but as the time was short
and light showers of rain falling at. :
short intervals, We made only one
stop and that was at Morgan, love-
ly little village on the bluffs of the
Licking river
After leaving Morgan we drove
into Falmouth past many fields of
alfalfa and sweet clover and we
could see herds of cattle and flocks
of sheep grazing on the distant hills.
Arriving again at Falmouth and
given time to rest and get supper,
tory where We were greeted by a
large crowd and entertained with
music by brass band and by short
speeches by Commissioner of Agri-
culture Mat Cohen and other nota-
bles of the Agriculture Extension
Department. We then repaired to
our sleepers to dream of all the
fine things We had seen. Arrived
at Louisville at o'clock on the 9th.
After breakfast we were invited to
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building and given the run of
said building until time to start to
the country. The time seemed short
until the streets were crowded with
automobiles to take us over the fine
country south of the city. We were
ret lpiu Do |
which is unsurpassed for it's splen-
did driveways and lovely scenery.
From the park We were taken to the
open country where we visited the
great market garden section, which
is a wonder to behold. We were
then driven by great fields of wheat
and barley to some of the greatDuroc
farms of the county near Jefferson
town and st. Matthews. We made a
stop at st. Matthews, where we We're
entertained for short while by the i
citizens, but as time seemed to be |
passing very fast, many OF the stops
were cut out. We made a run to
Lakeland but made no stop. We |
were taken around through the
grounds of the asylum and were
able to see many of the beauties of
the institution as We were whirled |
along. The next run was made |
back to Louisville, as the time was
too short for any more stops. Ar
rived in the city at 2 p. m. and |
found a great dinner awaiting us at
the Bourbon Stock Yards. After
dinner We were made to feel at home
and given the run of the stock yards
which is a good showing OF itself to
hayseed. AS night approached we
were assembled at Fourth and
Broadway where arrangements were
made for special cars to take us to
Fontaine Ferry Park, where We
were served with a Dutch supper
and given tickets for the show at
the Park Theater. Then ended the
