here for a present of interest, I'M
less it was a pair of wooden shoes.
I have a little pair I'm going to
send in a package soon. AS soon
as we hit the mountains in France
we saw most everyone wearing
wooden shoes but they don't
wear them in the house. They
always have smaller cloth shoes
like felt bed room slippers to
wear inside the wooden ones and
use the latter for overshoes in the
rain and mud. So when the fami-
ly is all home there is always a
line of woodies on the steps of
varying sizes. One guy here looks
to see if any of the woodies would
fit a girl of from II to % and if
there are none he takes his
laundry to another house fol-
washing.
Yes, I figured Uncle Curtis was
on the way across the Pacific for
he sent me change of address
notice with APO, S. Fran. I've
got to write him and a lot of 9TH
er people when I get the time.
Johnny Anderson should have
gone to the Pacific instead of Eu-
rope, because I'm going to dun
for that bet on marriage if run
into him over here.
I've got to hit the bunk or it
will soon be midnight. Nom, I
hope you are getting well in
hurry. Write soon and let me
know.

Weekly Items Of Interest To
AShe Farmers

In 1941, the first man to work
out a complete conservation plan
with the New River Soil Conser-
walton District, was J. c. Craw-
ford, of the Obids community;
likewise the first conservation
practice recommended in the plan
was carried out by Mr.. Crawford,
assisted by the district.
White pines scattered over his
pasture were cut and placed in
the quilted and CALLED areas.
Today, these broken areas. are
stabilized with blue grass grow
ing in a thick sod in the flow
lines of each.
Mr.. Crawford said there may
be other ways of healing gullies
and gals but, in his opinion, the
brush mulch seeding and treat
ment system is the most effective
and practical way.
In fitting the farming pattern
to the natural lay of the land
scape, farmers get their crop rows
on the level. Water stays in each
furrow or implement mark, and
soaks into the ground. This
method of farming not only con-
serves water for plant growth,
but also keeps it from running di-
rectly down hill and taking the
topsoil with it.
A general pattern of laying off
contour rows has been followed
in this section for many years,
but often times this pattern is
varied from at the expense of the
sides of little knoles, or ends of
fields where the field drops off.
With a little encouragement when
approaching these rises or drops,
a horse will grade around on the
contour, thus establishing 1000
a contour row arrangement in the
entire field.

the top were the big guns en-
placed in concrete and steel six
feet thick. There were signs
where our largest artillery had
made mere dents in the steel gun
turrets and little chips in the con-
crete. The airplanes tried to
burn them out with gallons of oil
dropped from the air and fixed
to ignite after spreading all over
the fort. Finally a Jerry vehicle
was filled with tons of TINT and
aimed to drive itself into the fort
and explode. The conclusion OF
the TINT plus lack of food and
sleep for the ferries in the fort
caused them to come out with
hands up. I took several pictures
of the place but the usual clouds
were beginning to fill the sky al
the time and they may not be
good. But the fort is still there
as it has been since around 1870
The French worked on it a little
when the war started and the
Nazis improved on it when they
took over and / don't know who
will be next to modernize it.
Just below the fort was a Nazi
grave yard with several 1910
model dead Nazis who were
probably knocked off in taking
the fort from the French. Those
ferries really make attractive
cemeteries for their soldiers.
Each man has a big iron cross
with a swastica and small iron
cross thereon and often they hang
a Jerry helmet on each big cross.
No, I almost did, but ! haven't
quite stopped to grave robbing
for souvenirs.
We still haven't figured out
these people here who don't know
whether they are French or Ger
man and who speak language
neither the Germans nor French
can understand with ease. Seems
that the first English word they
learn is Goodbye" and it seems
odd for someone to say "Good-
bye" to you when you 60 up to
talk to them. In the States it
would be considered a brushoff
method, but all through France
and in Rome the people seemed
to learn to say goodbye first of
all words. Maybe it was because
they knew we were moving so
fast they probably wouldn't have
time to say Hello" and "Good-
bye" both. The second word all
the French learned was usually
Thank you" for they had heard
that the Americans usually gave
away some goodies to the kids
and they usually weren't disap-
pointed. In one town way down
South, some girls had evidently
just come from English class for
they had blackboards in their
hands reading, 81 love you" and

chairs, and tents to load onto a

many tents of all types I don't
think I will ever forget how, but
now all we have to do when the
word comes to move is lock the
door, hitch to a car and take off
toward Jerryland. The inside of
the trailer is all done up with
ply-wood and the ceiling is paint

way we looked over a recently

After looking at the strength of
the fort I can see why they were
