Mainly Personal

WE HAVE NEVER BEEN MUCH
for poking about in cavest Last Sat
day to squander, decided 70 visit near
by Ohio Caverns close t West Liber-
ty. Jim Stuckey, one IF the Blufton
College youngsters VIII > was gradual
ed last June, worked as a guide in
the caves several summers, and his
stories had interesteh II us.
After 45 minutes underground
touring the jeweled subterranean
rooms beneath that farm hillside,
we recommend the trip highly
for all 0hioans who have not been
there. We found the Ohio specie
of cave more spectacular in. many
respects than the renown Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky and
certainly more beautiful. 1t
should be explained, hi Swever,
that our tour of Mammoth sew
eral years ago did not include
what was touted as he more
beautiful section of I'll fe under
ground labyrinth.
Considering the fact IF the guide
is correct-that the ffosty-looking
stalagmites and stalacftes grow
only at the rate of about an inch in
500 years, one views an unbelievable
long period of natures handiwork in
the mineral formations two, and three
feet long.
Interesting to us was the fact that
around every electric light bulb burn,
ing in the caverns is a tiny patch OF
green moss-the only living vegeta,
tion we could see in the caves! Heat
from the bulbs plus the light rays
are responsible for the growths
visitors are told.
Incidentally, the year-roqnd tenn,
perature inside the cavernsfis 81 de-
grees, making the trip a pleasant
diversion this hot weather ION top.
AN INTERESTING STOP en-
route to the caves is visit at the
Mac-A-Cheek castles just east of
West Liberty. We did mot have
time to stop at both of them, but
found the Castle Piatt an'intrigu-
ing spot. Built by General Abram
Saunders Piatt in 1864, it offers
all the features of French fOrti-
fed Castle down to a now water
less m0at along one side.
The castle-Iike residence is not
unusual in itself, since such ex-
travagant homes were the fashion
in the metropolitan areas of the

$4,000 Per Worker

How much do you think it costs lo give the average
worker in American industry jobthF s to provide the
machinery materials working space and other needed fac
ties?
An authoritative survey places the figure at about
$4,000 per worker-and in industries many times
that.
The money that provides the jobs mainly from
two sourcesndustrys profits and the savings of ndvid
ua and institutions the forms of stocks and bonds These
buy the tools that make high employment and high wages
possible.
We rghtfuly hear much of the Importance of labor But
should hear much than do of the Importance of
the investor.

in the country, however, makes it
unique. The fact that all of the
materials weref taken from the
surrounding lands also makes it
unusual. Sc fen years were re-
quired in its fbuilding.
Most of iB original furnishings
have been preserved by the Piatt

of the great building "home."
WHILE ON THE SUBJECT of
vacation trips, it may interest
you to know that one Bluffton
family reversed the usual order
of things, and instead of bring
ing home to Bluffton water from
Niagara Falls, took a bit of
BIuffton water TO run over the
falls. This ach evement may be
credited, we u1 1derstand, to the
small fry of he Arden Baker

bath would have been nonexistent, NO
running water excepting the pipe out
near the street, and the toilet would
have been an outbuilding without some
of the conveniences which we find in
Outbuildings in the States.
Three Days to Ahwaz
1t was a relief to arrive in Ahwaz in
the late afternoon after three days of
travel. The hotels were not recommend
ed, although the Point Four official in
charge was able to secure for us a room
at the Iranian Oil Company guest house.
formerly the Anglo-Iranian Oil Com
pany). This was a quite modern room
with bath and hot water and comfort
able beds.
During our three-day stay in the
Ahwaz ostan, we found it possible to
visit the famous city of Abadan and to
observe at a distance the very elaborate
oil refineries and the well constructed
modern housing units for employees.
We stayed overnight in one of the oil
refinery guest houses or hotels and it
was modern in every respect.
We visited several oil company farms
which had been established to provide
milk, meat, eggs and farm produce to
the refinery employees. We observed
an excellent herd of Jersey dairy cows,
fine Ayrshires and various crosses on
native stock The poultry were of the
modern varieties found in the States,
such as Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks and
New Hampshires, plus Light Sussex,
popular English breed.
Home of Alfalfa
Alfalfa was growing luxuriantly on
the Abadan Iranian Oil Co. farm and
the manager stated that from IA to 16
cuttings were secured a year from these
fields. 1t should be added, however,
that it is a common practice to cut al
falfa much more frequently in that ter
ritory in particular than is practiced
in the states, although it can be cut

er may know that Persia is the original
home of alfalfa and that it spread from
this country to Europe and America)
We visited Shustar which is three or
four hours drive north of Ahwaz and
near where Solomons Temple was
claimed to have been built. passed by
ShuSh where Daniel (of the Lions DEM
is buried and where there is a mOnu-
ment to him.

compliShmentS, especially as related to
livestock and poultry, and then planned
our trip across the mountains to Ahwaz.
Upon checking at the bus stations and
garages we were told that some We
hicles were now crossing the chain of
mountains from Shiraz north westward
through Kazerun and Behbehan to
Ahwaz, which could, with good luck, be
made in one long day.
We decided to try it, but before start
ing were told that it was necessary to
secure a pass. The police headquarters
attendant told us that the pass would
have to come from the army. We pro-
coded to the army headquarters and
were advised to forget our plans and
take three-day trip northward through
Isfahan again, Gum, Arak, Khor-
ramabad and south. Nothing would
move the general in his decision.

pointment showing in our faces and re-

(This is the second part of a trip
review by DIR. HalbrOOk, head of the
Department of Poultry Industry,
Montana State College, and now on
leave, serving as Chief of the Ami
NAL Science Branch, Point Four, in
Iran. His first report was ON
Southwest Iran, covering the ISfa-
han and Herman OStanS and this
report covers a continuation of the
same extensive trip which took him
into ShiraZ and the ArwaZ Ostans,
including Abadan, where the Oil
refineries are lOcated.)
WE ARRIVED in Shiraz, the capitol
city of the Ears oStan, in south central
Iran on our trip from Herman, after two
days of travel, much of which was over
little Travelled desert roads. We had
stopped this time in Yazd for the night
where Point Four maintained a guest
house.
We also stopped briefly at Persepolis,
about 40 kilometers north of Shiraz, the
ancient city and former capitol of Per-
STA which was destroyed by Alexander
the Great, King of Macedonia, some
$50 BIC This is an interesting place,
reminding one of the ancient ruins of
Greece and Rome with is similarity of
architecture and carvings.
Excavation in still going on but there
is already much to see in the way of
carvings, tall stone columns, and the
remains of once famous buildings.
Safe Drinking Water
Shiraz is clean and fairly prosper
Gus city, located in the Zagros Noun
tains, with an elevation of over 5000
feet. 1t boasts of having the only safe
city water supply in Iran and is the
only place, so far as I know, where
Americans dare drink water out of the
tap. 1--WE frequently do not fully appreci
ate safe water supply until we have
had to live with unsafe supply)
We spent three days in Shiraz, OBJ
serving Point Four operations and {

ported to our driver in our limited farsi
that it would necessary to go the long
way around. We would start immediate
ly. He caught on without difficulty and
pointing his finger like pistol said,
''bang, bang, bang" We were later in
formed that the tribal people had been
causing trouble in the mountain passes
and we might not be safe. A Point Four
vehicle was held up a few days later
and the Iranian occupants required to
give up all of their belongings, includ-
ing most of their clothes. We felt better
after learning this.
The first days drive on the trip from
Shiraz to Ahwaz was to Isfahan past
caravans of migrating tribal groups.
They were moving from the villages in
the valleys towards the mount a in
ranges after having spent the winter in
the villages. Some, of course, had lived
in the open throughout the winter. They
were travelling on camels, horses and
dOnkeyS.
Sheep and Goats
The larger animals as rule carried
the tent and poles and the horses or
donkeys carried the smaller articles of
clothing, bedding, cooking utensils, aged
and very young children The larger
boys and girls drove the herds or
flocks of sheep, goats and cattle A pure
flock of sheep is seldom seen in Iran.
They are practically always mixed with
goats in order to better utilize the pas
ture.
Because of our late start from Shiraz
(about 1000 ann, it was after dark
before we arrived in Isfahan. We were
fortunate in securing a room at the best
hotel which had fairly comfortable beds
something hard to find in Iran), cold
running water, and a wash basin. The
bath and toilet were down the hall quite
some distance but we were fortunate
in having these accommodations at all.
Had we been forced to spend the night
in village en- route between Shiraz
and Isfahan, we would probably have
had only bed made of wooden plankS
without mattress but with only a rug
to break the hardness of the boards.

Ialk to farmers who have tried
the new 3-plOw FordsOn Major
Diesel tractor, and chances are
they'll boast about fuel savings
the first thing. And no wonder.
For on farms everywhere, this
advanced diesel tractor is cutting
fuel costs by impressive amounts.
That's because the advanced
Fordson Major Diesel engine
uses much less fuel to develop the
same power as gasoline engine.
In addition, diesel fuel costs
much less than gasoline.
But here's the real payroll -
The new Fordson Major Diesel
is actually priced no higher* than
many 3-plow gasoline tractors
comparably equipped!
So find out more from your
nearby Ford Tractor and Imple-
ment dealer. Once you have tried
the new FOrdsOn Major Diesel
tractor on your own farm, you'll
never be satisfied with less!
