I wish I could tata YOU on some
st tn, railway and motor car trips
I have already made through the
farming regions OF this wonderful
land. l landed at Cherbourg on the
English channel when the harvest
was ripening and came to Paris BY
rail. Most OF the way was through
Normandy. a land given up TO
meadows, grain, fruit and stock
ra!eing That country Is one crazy
quilt OF Agricultural riches, the
patches OF which are sewed together
with hedges of the greenest OF
green. The patches represent wheat,
oats. hay and alfalfa, which are In
terspersed with orchards and truck
gardens near the big towns.
The hedges are trimmed; the
fields are clean except for the bright
red poppies showing here and there
out OF the green. There is no waste
land anywhere. The soil has been
tekled. and Il laughs with the
hfTest. Here they are cutting the
hay, using great scythes as In the
days OF our forefathers. They load
the hay into carts drawn by huge
Norman horses or put It up in cocks
IN the field The haycocks are SYM
metricah They are twice as tall as
those, OF our farmers, and will surely
shed rain.
Notice the cattle and sheep. They
pepper the meadows with great
white and black spots. growing
smaller and smaller as they near the
horizon. Normandy Is one OF the
best cattle regions OF France. From
iis milk comes the Camembert
cheese and / think also the brit
