Friends of Miss Minnie Lee Winn will be glad to know that she recently returned to her home, after a five weeks’ visit with Mr. and Mrs. Zale E. Carpenter and ^>n, Robert, of Kalamazoo, Michi gan. Miss Winn says that those short, five weeks were spent very pleasantly. She had a grand trip and has lots to tell her many friends. Here are a few statements con cerning her trip, while in Kala mazoo, Michigan. Friends! You have all heard of Kalamazoo. It is a large city lo cated in southwestern Michigan. Kalamazoo is known as the most beautiful place this side of the jase line of paradise. It’s called, “The Gateway To Opportunity,” ‘The Celery City,” “The Paper City or The Half Way City.” Kala- BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY GREENWOOD COCA-C«»A BOTTLING CO., Greenwood, S. C. mazoo is located 148 miles from Detroit, Mich., 150 miles from Chicago, m., 23 miles from Battle Creek and 18 miles from Fort Custer, which is considered the argest army fort in the U. S. A. Yes, my friends, Kalamazoo, and the country surrounding that city offers beauty plus for visitors. The stranger should see it, then he, too will love it. Kalamazoo ies in a valley. It’s an Indian name. Kalamazoo is one of the state’s most important industrial centers, a highly important agricultural area and certainly one of the states cultural cities. It has a Western State Teachers’ College, Kalamazoo College, Nazareth Col- ege for girls and Barbour College or boys. There are a number of High Schools; and graded schools too. I have lots of pictures and cards (scenerys) which were taken at different places of interest, while in Kalamazoo. October is a rainy month, there. We only had five days of sunshine, during the five weeks, I was visiting in Kalama zoo. The wind blows quite a bit of the time. The weather -was not freezing cold, but was. quite bit colder than our “Sunny South.” Mt. Baldy, the largest natural, sand dune in the U. S., is located at Saugatuck, Mich. I walked up 786 steps to get to the top of the dune. From the top, I saw Lake Michigan, Kalamazoo River, Kala mazoo Lake, and Black Lake. We saw views of the ships and boats, the beautiful beach, Circlet and Plaza and a beautiful sight from the top of the Sand Dune. Sauga- „uck is within easy reach of my ooint in Michigan.. The autumn, when nature gets out her paint brush, of yellow and brown. anJ laming red, is a most beautiful picture that no artist can paint. The trip was well worth the time. The bird sanctuary is most beautiful. Wild game from all over the world is there. Special care is taken to protect the fowls game and fish. The park is lovely too. All kinds of fish are at ''e Fish Hatchery.” Six lakes - id seven streams run together .id orm their breeding vats. T is the largest hatchery in sour "n Mich. The sturgeon is sai:* m be 607 ft. long. Saddle horses rent for ' ' 00 ler hour. The horses are all a fine stock and well trained to play their part. Grand Ledge, Mich., has a ' ve- ly park too. It’s the only pla 1 ' in the U. S. that coal is mined o:: top of land. However! The coal is mixed with sulphur, and due to the odor, the coal is unfit for fuel. Lancing, capitol of Mich., with her buildings, impressive in their classic architectural beauty, has j drawn praise from lovers of the beautiful, the world over. Forgetting the beauty of Jack- son, Mich., we find five public parks, four golf courses, five swim ming pools, two great country clubs, and a score of lakes within 20 minutes drive of the city. “Irish Hills”, is one of Jackson’s most important areas. The Hills closely resemble the hills of the “Quid Sod.” The “Hill’s” are known as the city play-ground, with its emerald hills and tur quoise lakes and winding trails, it’s an ideal place for one a sum mer vacation. Battle Creek, Mich., is a large and beautiful town. Cornflakes and post toasties are manufac tured there. All of the cereal of this kind that’s used here was shipped from Battle Creek. The process is interesting. Those who work in the plant are neat and clean at all times. Three Rivers is a small town into which three rivers flow, and there form one. For this reason the town was named Three Rivers. Hardy and Croton Dam are ex tremely large. We stopped at Cro ton fire tower and killed several hours in the wilderness. The autumn leaves, in their yellow and brown and flaming red flames were a beautiful scenery and as far as the visible eye could see. Sear and deer and various kinds of wild game were plentiful. A deer came within a few feet of our automobile and stared in. While driving one has to watch the road sides at night, to pre vent striking a deer or bear as they ride along. I could write page after page telling of various towns, color tour trips, etc., but I won’t bore you much longer. I hope you’ve en joyed this write-up one third as much as I enjoyed my trip. Then, I’m sure you will have gotten some pleasure out of reading this short write up. Kalamazoo has a hundred or more large lakes within, a few miles of the city. Fish and boat riding, swrimming, etc., are enjoy ed during the summer while skating on ice and sleigh riding are their chief winter sports. Friends! If you have an oppor tunity visit in Kalamazoo. It’s not as far away as it sounds, for I’ve been there. I know it ‘will be well worth your time. I had a wonderful vacation. I traveled 34 hours and 10 minutes by bus, en- route home. Bus stops, etc., pre vented the traveler from getting very tired. Show Food Prep aration To Pro mote Nutrition Rock Hill, Dec. 6.—Expressing gratification that the Surplus Marketing Administration plans to continue furnishing commodities for demonstrations in food prep aration to promote better nutri tion among farm families, Miss Martha Buttrill, extension nutri tionist, states that during 1942 county home demonstration agents of the state will give food prep aration demonstrations. These will be on breads, milk and egg dishes, dry beans and peas, syrup dishes, and green, leafy, and yel low vegetables. In these demonstrations the agents will use whole-wheat flour, yellow corn meal, dried or evapo rated milk, eggs, butter, vegeta bles, enriched flour, and syrup supplied by the SMA, says Miss Buttrill. Some 500 demonstrations will be given in the 46 counties during the year. The stress at each demon stration will be on the prepara tion of two or more protective foods rather than a complete meal. xx New Mastitis Remedy Shows Some Promise Farm Calendar For December Guidance The Red Cross campaign against the ever-rising toll of highway fatalities is waged today by 3.000 Highway First Aid stations from coast-to-coast and 4,000 mobile units. Help the Red Cross wage this battle against “sudden death” on the road. Join the American Red Cross today. Clemson, Dec. 6.—South Caro lina dairy farmers who try to treat mastitis by injecting medi cinal preparations up the teat canal and into the udder are like ly to do more harm than good, says C. G. Cushman, extension dairy specialist. Recently, some investigators have found that certain chemicals, introduced into the udder through the teat canal, appear to cure one of the common forms of mastitis in a considerable percentage of cases. Some of these treatments show promise, says Cushman, but tests are still under way at several state experiment stations and at the U. S. D. A. animal disease stption, Beltsville, Md. Even if final results of these tests indicate that some chemicals used in this manner are effective mastitis treatment, farmers should never use them without super vision of a qualified veterinarian, Cushman points out. A good system of management and sanitation prescribed by fed eral and state specialists includes: (1) Determination of the Infected cows by the strin-cup or o*’ ir test; <2) milking healthy r "3 first, suspects second, and inff last; <3) washing udders, he ^ % and milking machines with g ' - killing chlorine solution; anc -) when quarters become inflarud, using hot packs, massage, and milking frequently. Even in December farmers must keep busy with important activi ties, chiefly looking towards the future, says County Agent M. A. Bouknight, who lists these brief suggestions: Agronomy 1. Weather permitting, turn heavy soils that have no cover crops. 2. Put cotton under cover to prevent loss of $5 or more per bale. 3. Clean up briars and plum thickets around edges of fields. 4. Bed down stalls and barns with j leaves, pine needles, or grain straw; the bigger the manure pile the smaller the fertilizer bill. 5. Continue to build artificial or syn thetic manure pens. 6. This is a good time to put out lime. Horticulture 1. Prune fruit trees and bunch grapes. 2. Make garden plans, get catalogs, and order seeds be fore seedsmen are out of desirable varieties. 3. If fruit trees have not already been set, do so this month; fall or winter planting in the South is preferable to early spring planting. 4. Prepare hot beds for sowing in January. 5. Propagate grapes and ornamental deciduous shrubs from new cut tings. 6. Terrace all land to be planted to peaches before trees are set. 7. Make plans to grow more food for National Defense. Insects and Diseases 1. Observe how 7 well long, close- fitting shucks protect corn against weevils. 2. Burn orchard primings to destroy shot-hole borers. 3/ Burn twigs severed by girdlers. 4. Apply lime sulfur or oil emul sion dormant sprays after trees are completely dormant. 5. Apply non-poisonous dust to control cattle lice. Agricultural Engineering 1. Check over all farm machin ery and order needed repair parts now. 2. Store cultivating machin ery and grease parts that are likely to rust. 3. In operating tractor during winter months follow manufacturer’s instruction book regarding “Suggestions for Cold Weather Operation”. 4. Use disk harrow for cutting-in. cotton stalks and other vegetable matter. 5. Plow up terraces so they will have time to settle before the spring planting season.
