.THE OrXGOU DAILY JOUnNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 81. 1919. 4 EcMMEIITO VALLEY SCENERY Correspondent Describes Pleas j iire Brought by Sight of Won derful Roads and fertile Acres. FIG AND OLIVE TREES 'SEEN Windmills Bring Dutch Memories) Rice Farmers Employ Airplanes .to Frighten Ducks From Fields. By Fre4 Xxcldey l En Route to San Francisco. We . left Bed Bluff, the county seat of Tahama county, after an early breakfast, for an all day drive through the fertile Sacramento val ley to San Franclaeo. The' toad we took ; led 7 Us through ' CorpiPir, 0r land. Willows, Willlama,T Arbuckle, Woodland, Davis, Fairfield and Mar tines, the distance being 1911 mile from Red Bluff to Seneola hlMt miles from there to Oakland,' where we took the ferry for San" Francisco. It would require a dozen artioles to describe, even briefly, the incidents of the day's trip and the character of the country through whiph we passed. For hears we traveled ever wonderful roads through the 8se ramente valley, , with, fields of alfalfa, grain, olive orchards, vineyards sad prune orchard along the way. Here and there windmills dotted the landscape and the Jon level stretches with the windmills en the far fcortson made on think of Holland. Hun dreds of gasoline engines were at work pumping up 6 and 1-Inch streams of water to water the rice field.'- We passsfl thousands upon thousands of era f rio.

AIBrlAKE AS 8C Alt EC BO W 8alJlnf low ever the rice fields we Saw an airplane. It seemed to be pa- trolling- the whole district, and when we Stepped at an Irrigation plant to get water tor our engine, we found that our surmise wag correct ' The rice grower combine to' pay , an aviator to patrol their fields,' The duck and wild fowl are so fond of the rice that he Is em ployed to sail low - over the fields to keep the ducks on the move and prevent their - destroying - the rice crops. We stopped by an extensive rice field that had just been cut and I got a good size bunch of rice. The straw was aoout tA -feet Ion-, with heavy clusters of rice en each straw. The rloe runs about H pounds to the bushel and they harvest from to 45 sacks of rice to the acre. The sacks weigh from 96 to 110 pounds, fair average being about 100 pounds of rice to the sack. ; The rice, which is a fine quality, sells at V4 cents a pound. Four thousand pounds to the acre is con sidered a fair yield. There were about 177,000 acres in the district through which we passed, ' ' TTJJUCBTB; AHE HESPE9 f fere and there, between the rice fields, are: fields vt, stubble -with flocks ef tur keys. :wi sawiin one field a flock of at Jeast 1000 turkeys; which were being herded by a man and a dog, just, as if tt were a band of sheep.;; -. Between Arbuckle. and Woodland we saw large 'numbers of fine dairy: herd, the Holsteln cow predominating, r Along the roadway in many places tree have beep planted, walnut; and Australian maple, eucaliptl, with tbeirostrich-liks plume, -palm" tree- and date palms, oaks, pepper trees, fig and olive, v It seemed almost that we had been trans ported to some other country when we ww the fig ibd olive, the pajm f.and pine. We took lunch at Davis, where we ran across large numbers of Australian boys. I fell into conversation with group of these Australian and found that we had covered much el ths same country In France, . particularly around Amiens- on the picaedy front. v. "There are .70, of 'ua here," ; said one of , the Australian, "attending theVu'niverstty farnv - The Australian gevcmmnt 1 sending a conajderabla number of our chaps.' here to yowr ' country to 'learn American methods.? ? ;- -,t . -.

Louis, the bankers had decided not to send out the advertising circulars and other mat ter advising the American pVbllc to visit Europe. The telegram read in part s follows; "It is our earnest desire at all times to cooperate with hotel manager! and it seems most desirable that the matter be further considered In conference be tween representatives , ef your associa tion and the Bankers Trust company. W as agents of the American Banker association want to make our advertis ing program eon form te the best inter, eats of American, hotel people and at the same time feature the usefulness of American Bankers association cheques to the public Will yen of one of the members of the committee directijr In terested be H JJew, York In the near future, prepared to go "ever thla matter with u with a view t bringing about the- beat program possible for mutual interest? In the meantime none ef the advertising matter relating to European travel which you feel to be injurious to your interests will be released. May we took to you to discontinue your efforts to have resolutions passed by public bodies, as we feel. In vew of our att. tude of cooperation a here expressed, wa would otherwise br put In a wrong light until such conference can be held?" SEE AMERICA FIBST In speaking of the matter, Mr.-Child' said: ,7' - ' ' ''. ' ..' '. : "Europe at present Is In no condition to take care of tourists. They have not yet recovered from the shock of war. All tourists will want to go and see the bat tlefields: f FAirepe but for the next year or . two they had better ' see some thing of their own country. Last year a large number of Americans for the first time became aware ef what Ameri ca has te offer in the way of soento at tractions and their glowing .reports are going to cause many more tourists to come this year to make the tour of the national park and playground. .- Banking Bill Tassedby Senate Washington.
