Have you seen one of our John Deere power
mowers and sweeprakes at work yet?
Have you seen how easily one of these
power mowers attach to any make of tractoi
and the kind of work they do in real tough
mowing?
Well, if you have not, then you have really
missed seeing some of the most modern hay
equipment in the field.
One of our John Deere tractors with fast hy
draulic lift and buckrake is really one of the
most efficient tractor units working in this
territory.
After watching the efficient operation of
one of these units and then compare operating
costs and service available, you can very read
ily see why these tractors are so popular and
why they are becoming even more popular.

Memorial day week end was spent
at Mountain Lake, Minn., the home
if our birthplace. We had the privi
lege of once again seeing our aged
grandmother, and many relatives and
friends. Memorial day is always a
red letter day in that city. After a
parade through city streets, an in
teresting program in the city park
was enjoyed, after which the large
group continued the festivities a t the
cemetery almost a mile out of town.
Included in the parade was the high
school band, the American Legion,
-ity firemen nnd officials, boy scouts
and girl scouts, all of which made
the trek to the cemetery where the
graves were beautified. This meth
od of celebrating Memorial day
seemed very commendable to us.
We returned to Chicago Sunday
oftemoon. Monday afternoon I en
tered a baseball game when the na
tional lcaeue leading Brooklyn Dod-
•»ers defeated the Chicago Cubs. 3-2.
Of the five runs, three were “over
the fence.”
A good comparison of the north
and south climate was evidenced on
our trip to New Orleans. The corn
crop throughout Iowa, Minnesota and
Michigan at that time averaged three
and four inches high. It was th at
height when we went to sleep on the
train Tuesday night, and upon awak
ening Wednesday morning we found
that the corn had jumped to six and
seven feet in height.
Upon arriving in New Orleans we
immediately embarked on a tour of
the old French city. Among some of
the most interesting points of inter
est included the riverfront banana
wharf, where bananas and pineapple
were unloaded from ships; wrought
iron “lace work” adorning so many
buildings and homes; monuments,
and cemeteries with above-ground
burial vaults; the U. S. S. Wyoming
battle ship; beautiful parks and many
interesting history-making buildings.
Leaving New Orleans we crossed
over the thirteen million dollar Huey
P. Long Mississippi river bridge.
A one-day stop-over with relatives
at Rosenberg, Texas, enabled us to
see the second largest sulphur mine
in the world. This mine produced
50,000 tons of sulphur daily. Less
than 100 miles from this point is the
largest sulphur mine in the world
and produces 300,000 tons of sulphur
daily, and is shipped mostly by boats
to all parts of the world.
We were greatly disappointed to
find th at the beautiful palm trees
had suffered so immensely in New
Orleans and Texas, due to one of the
coldest winters in these states during
the past fifty years. Of much inter
est to us was the large negro popula
tion we found there. According to
laws of Texas and Louisiana, every
railway company, streetcar company,
etc., doing business in these states as
a common carrier of passengers for
hire, shall provide separate coaches
or compartments for the accommoda
tion of white and negro, passengers,
and had to be equal in all points of
comfort and accommodations. This
seemed a bit unusual to us, since the
same things also applied to all de
pots and many restaurants. We some
times think we have poor families in
our neighborhood, but there is no
comparison with the poor negro
south.
Another day stop-over was made
with relatives in Los Angeles, enab
ling us to see that beautiful city,
Hollywood and Santa Monica beach.
Sunday night we attended the much
publicized Angelus Temple, hearing
Aimee Semplp McPherson give her
version of the modern “Trojan
Horse.”
The most beautiful and interesting
train trip was on the Noon Daylight
Southern Pacific streamline train
from Los Angeles, often called the
world’s most beautiful train. For
113 miles the daylights speed along
the Pacific Ocean’s edge.
Surprising to us was the economy
of our two day visit in San Francis
co and the world fa ir of 1940. Upon
arriving in San Francisco, a taxi took
us to a hotel. The hotel room with
two beds was surprisingly low for a
downtown hotel. The next morning,
walking across the street we took a
5c street car to the ferry, and a 10c
charge was made to cross the bay to
Treasure Island. Of course we were
fortunate to have a press pass for
entrance to the fair. Coming from
the fair only 5c was charged for fer
ry and the same amount again to get
us back to the hotel. The cost of
everything in general, we found, to
be on an average of about 25 per
cent less in Los Angeles and San
Francisco compared with Chicago and
eastern cities.
The Exposition, of course, was
beautiful and interesting, and accord
ing to reports is similar to th a t of
last year, but it was a bit too early
in the season for the large crowds,
since school in that and other te rri
tories were still in full swing.
The last stop-over and rest was
made with our parents at Dallas.
