A Party OF Five Takes Trip
On Sunday. July 25th, party Of
five left town at l p. m. by motor
car on a weeks sightseeing trip,
not knowing definitely where they
were going, nor when they would
return. The party was composed
of MIR. and Mrs. Walter M. Long,
Mr.. and Mrs. William A. Law and
the latter's sister, Miss Addie Fur
man. The temperature was So or
98 degrees at the time Of our leav-
ing home and our trip was a hot
one" until we reached the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. HeL.aw, Sr., in High
land Park, Pa, where we enjoyed
their hospitality on a nice shady
lawn for one hour, and were served
with ice cold refreshments, after
which we made a "How-do-y -you-do"
and Goodbye" call at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Nj. Calhoun in Up
per Darby, and feeling much re-
freshed, we then proceeded to Lang
horne, Pa, where we spent the night.
On Monday morning we made our
way to New York City where we took
in a few amusements and then up
the beautiful Hudson River drive
and on our to West Point, ran into
a light rain, but before reaching
there we found water coming down
from the mountains and running over
the road probably one foot In depth,
yet we continued our trip to the
Point, but was raining quite hard
upon our arrival, therefore our trip
there meant nothing more than a
drive through the camp. We spent
the night at West Camp, near Sau-
gertie's, and on Tuesday morning
had wonderful run up the Mohican |
Trail in the Catskill Mountains to !
Point Lookout and walked up the |
observatory tower and got a good |
NEW of the valley below. The alti-
tude was $500 feet. Then ON to
Albany, Schenectady and Little Falls, /
and before reaching w. Schuyler,
stopped to see a big barge Buckeye
State" from Buffalo go through the
Erie Canal double prize locks, after
which we went to Utica, Rome,
and Maple View, which is 3S.4 miles
from Syracuse, and then through
Mexico to Oswego on Lake Ontario,
where we stayed over night with
Just a stone road between us and
the lake. Wednesday morning he
fore leaving, about O'Clock, we
walked down the stony shore and
picked stones from the water as
souvenirs. On the shores of the
lake there are loads upon loads of
cobble stones of all sizes and shapes.
After a few miles drive we ran into
a cherry section, and being so very
much attracted by one particular T.
grove, we drove in on the farm and
asked if we might buy couple
quarts of cherries and have the
pleasure of picking them from the
trees. The owner, Mr.. Oliver Swad-
ling of Malcott, in Wayne County,
N. Y, extended a hearty welcome,
very kindly estorted us through the
grove and granted us permission to
pick the two quarts of big, luscious
Mont Morency cherries from the
heavily laden trees. 1t was quite an
teresting to hear Mr.. Swadling tell
of the kind of fertilize necessary
and the ingredients used in the spray |
and the proper time of spraying to [
prevent faulty fruit. Upon inquiry {
Of how much his yield was expected {
to be, Mr.. Swadling said an estimate
given by the field inspector last {
week was 20 to rs tons. Before we 9
lad fully overed the thrill we came 8
20 the William Mink Ranch at Fruit I
and and decided we wanted to make. '
In investigation. We were there at |
'eeding time and oh, what a lot of |
hamburg" There were 1000 of 6
he dark eastern mink, and each one G
lad its own individual cage and box. I
Ne were told the average price was a
1890, but received $29.50 for one I
,elt last year; eight ribbons were Q
Ilso won last year, two of them be- 4
ng first prize. Mrs. Long thought v
he heard some birds chirping and Il
d the act of initiating them, discov- 8
red she could call every mink to D
be front of its cage, just by sucking A
through her teeth. 1t was interest b
ng to see them Immediately come h
D the front, making the same kind of (,
oise. The next high point was in a
colchester where we called to see n
Ir. Herbert Adam at the plant Of II
he J. Hungerford Smith Co., and b
enjoyed being shown Il
trough the plant and saw some b.
arrels of Strawberries packed for g
hem by the John G. Townsend, Jr. s,
o., and also saw cherries, pine ii
pples and black walnuts being pre- g,
ared for the ice cream trade. They II
ere also making marshmellow and II
ltting in half-gallon containers. th
was all the more interesting to VI

ownsend plant in Selbyville in 1920 VI

NTH Company. Among the friends in
Iked for were James Johnson, Fred an
urray, Prof. ID. A. Petry, friends to

ewed the different falls both from err
g American and Canadian sides, sit
tting a full view of the illumina- ch
IN of the American Falls in the a
ening from Canada where we re- ha
aimed over night. Upon our return WI
pm a drive along the Niagara River int
Canada opposite Buffalo we re- Ca
rned to our own U. s. A. at Mag. ais
