anywhere. The soil has been tickled
and 1t laughs with the harvest. Here
they are cutting the hay, using great
scythes, as In the days of our fore
fathers. They load the hay into carts
drawn by huge Norman horses or put
it up In cocks In the field. The hay
cocks are symmetrical. 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. Nor
mandy Is one of the best cattle re-
gions of France. From its milk
comes the Camembert cheese, and I
think also the Brie. while the prov
ince is to a large extent dairy for
both Paris and London.
AS I look am reminded that France
is now raising enough meat to feed
almost her whole people, and that be-
fore the war she had some for ex-
port. She is rapidly getting back to
her pre-war condition. She has only
a half-million less horses than at the
beginning of the German invasion.
and her cattle, which then numbered
about fourteen millions. are now only
about one million short. I see fine
oxen hauling carts over the roads. and
am told that Brittany has record
cows which produce from five to seven
pounds Of butter per week. l have
not had a bit of bad butter during
my travels In France.

the next one begins. and all seem to
be equally rich. Every patch is like
the best Of one OF our agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, and this Is SO for
hundreds Of miles on each side of the
roadway and Of fields small and large.
Indeed, II only the soil Of France Is
to be considered its people will have
no trouble in lifting our mortgage.
And this brings me to a very I'm
portant item in figuring, the value of
these French obligations. This is the
thrift Of the people. There is no ma
ton that gets more out Of Its soil.
The French lead the world as good
farmers. Every crop they produce
grows more to the acre on land Of
the same character than in any part
Of the United States. I have not the
average wheat yield before me, but
believe It Is double that Of America.
And then the thrift that one secs

farms. Not a square inch goes to
waste. I rode 900 miles yesterday,

Even the roadways are: made to
yield money. There are no brush or
woods lining the highways. In tho
reconstructed regions see no cattle
running at large. and this is the con-
dition throughout tho republic. Tho
grass on tho roads is cut with a.
scythe, and nearly every road grows
trees of ono kind or another, each of
which is made to earn it's own living.
On some roads are apples, peaches
and pears, and on others tho trees are
all. tall poplars, from which the
branches are cut every 20 often, sup
plying fuel tor bakers and others who
want Q quick flre.

adam on the old roadbed, but there
are also miles Of these Belgian blocks
laid together like our brick roads in
the states. In some places asphalt is
used to finish the roads, but as rule
they are of stone or macadam. So
far I have seen none Of concrete.
There are but few towns Of the
United States that have as good pave
ments as these country roads Of the
republic Of France. AS a result one
or two horses or an OK or 80 can haul
in a two-wheeled cart twice the hay
or grain drawn by q four-horse team
in America. France Is issuing bonds
for making those roads. on tho basis
that It pays a nation to have debts
and prosperous farmers, rather than
to have no debts and tho farmers OK
pond so much to got their goods to
the markets that they arc kept poor.
Indeed, as Tristram Shandy- would
say, "They do these things better in
France
X y = X -
Another thing they do better Is
lining the roadways with trees. In
our motor-car rides we go for miles
between stately poplars. some of
which arc as big. around as a .nour
barrel and as high as q four-story
house. Tho branches Of tho trees meet
