Specialist San Francisco! What a town! Suely it must be one of the world’s most in teresting ones. We arrived at Oakland soon after sunup. Across the bay on a ferry, we passed under one of the great bridges. The piers for it are as high as Washing ton’s monumentf Trains, trucks, and cars pass over it in end less fashion. And there is no boat so big that it can’t go un der it. Some hills in the heart of town aie so steep you can hardly walk up ’em. There is where the picturesque little cable cars jangle along carry ing the happy crowds that hang on to any thing they can catch hold of. Near the heart of the city on what was bleak sand dunes they have hauled in rich soil, built rolling hills and lakes and developed the most beautiful park I have ever seen. Great trees were brought in and set out until a natural jungle-like growth abounds on the 1,013 acres. Flowers, a zoo, aquari um, museum, art gallery, etc. make of it a place you could linger in for days. No “Keep Off the Grass” signs there. Folks are encouraged to use it for picnics and the like. And they seem to appreciate the privilege, for I saw none of them leave a bit of trash, and the whole place is kept spot less. If you ever go out there, be sure to spend some time in this great park.

That’s the muscle from a shellfish that’s plucked by divers from the rocks along the coast out there. They are rigidly protected by law as to size and catch and can’t be shipped from the state. You will want to try that dish, if you get out that way. But let’s get away from the city. I don’t belong there. Like to go to big cities occa sionally. But my feet soon start to hurt, and I want to get back out on soft ground, where folks are not in a hurry. Next morning found us park ed on the brink of Grand Can yon. A human being can’t de scribe that. One fellow in our party, Bill Durden from Ala bama, did a pretty good job when he called it “a terrible big hole.” And “terrible” is right in de scribing Grand Canyon. We were scheduled a whole day there. I wondered why. A day to se e the canyon. I thought we could stand and look at any one thing in an hour or so. But I was wrong. We rode and looked in bewil derment and wonder all day. Yet we only covered about 45 miles of its rim. And there are 800 miles of that rim. The Canyon is 200 miles long, 10 to 20 miles across and a mile deep. Across the mighty chasm we coud see a building. There is a post of fice over there in another state. It takes a letter three days to get there, 10 miles across the chasm. And it has to travel in four states. Yet it looked close enought to shoot a rifle bullet to. At places far below we could see the muddy river. Looked like a small branch. Yet it is the earth’s most dangerous riv er, carrying 20 percent silt and mud, averaging 30 feet deep and 400 feet wide, and running in almost constant rapids. The small ripples we could see on it were waves 4 to 6 feet high we were told. The strata of rocks along the sides of the canyon offer earth’s best cross section. And it reaches down to earth’s last layer. Beyond the dark rock where the river is now work ing is supposed to be earth’s molten core. The layer of that rock you can see looks to be something like 15 to 20 feet But we were told that it was in reality several hundred feet. Yes, “terrible big hole” that it is, it just happens to be one of many canyons along the Col orado river, and the largest one. And I came away feeling that our schedule makers had not erred in stopping for a day there. For one could spend days there, descend to its bot tom on mule in a day and come out from down in there in a day yet feel about like an ant that’s been looking at Wash ington’s monument. Geologists estimate that it has taken the river 6 to 8 mil lion years to cut that canyon, and that black rock at the bot tom is two billion years old. While the best estimates of man’s existence on this earth is only 30,000 years. We came from there feeling very small, looking in to infini ty, gripped with a deep feel ing of worship, and a humility of our smallness in the whole scope and scheme of things. Next week we will move on. n “Hunger Signs in Crops” is the subject discussed at a re cent series ’ of meetings of the 4-H clubs of WUliamsburg, ac cording to Assistant County Agent Harrington, and there wer e 309 members present. Thus young farmers are learning the fine points of farming in their 4-H clubs. And as time goes on more and more of the results from this ar e bound to be showing up in the fields.
