The Black Forest area of Ger
many; has mostly fir trees and is
dark,' hence the name Black
Forest. There are many paths for
hiking and bicycling in it.
Our bus stopped in Frieburg for
lunch.
As I walked up the street, 1
noticed an eating place where they
sold long buns to passersby. The
price was 1.95 marks or about $l.OO
so I bought one. To my surprise it
appeared to have a raw fish in it
with cucumber slices and
mayonnaise. Someone tells me it
was pickled, but anyway I
managed to eat it.
At an outdoor market held on a
cobble stone street, I bought some
fresh tomatoes and heard young
musicians playing in hopes that
people would throw coins in their
open music cases.
As we approached Heidelberg,
we saw tobacco fields in bloom.
They have the same weeds as we

do such as thistles, nettle and wild
carrots. Here we saw a castle that
was built in 1300 and restored. The
university here was established 600
years ago and one-sixth of the total
population are students. Many of
them dressed and looked very
outlandish as their hair was dyed
the colors of the rainbow.
We noticed that the grain fields
had all been sprayed and were told
this was to stiffen the steins so that
they wouldn’t lodge. A Canadian
farmer, on another tour, was
impressed with the large kernels.
Some of our group were late for
breakfast and we learned later
that they were stuck in an elevator
and it had to .be jacked up and
manually cranked open. After that
episode a lot of people used the
stairs.
We visited two farms in Ger

prince who showed us his 16-cow

LANCASTER There will be
lots of fresh grapes, Bartlett pears
and purple plums to pack in those
there on the farm. He sloshed
through the mud to point out
particular cows that were bred to
American sires. His 800-acre farm
was one of the biggest in Western
Germany. He feeds corn and grass
silage and soybean meal to his 360
cows.
We drove through towns like
Straasburg, Kassel and Hannover
and saw names like Herr, Huber
and Weber. After a Wiener
schnitzel lunch, we visited a farm
located in the middle of a village.
The cows live in a bam all of their
lives and a modem pig house was a
few feet from an 1100 A.D.
Lutheran church. The farmers sell
potatoes and beets to co-ops and
feed wheat, oat and barley. As we
left, Mr. Kaiser, the farmer, told
us that “the man without work is a
poor man.’’
Next we travel on a triple-decker
boat up the Rhine River.

raised prices of peanuts, peanut
butter and other products con
taining peanuts. So, moms will be
able to rely on that old favorite
peanut butter sandwiches.
