I do know there are the older men and some high and grade school boys, but then, even though I have many old friends as well as the high school boys. But now that I am so far away from any white girls, I can honestly say I would like to have a chance to see some of our local girls for a change. I don’t think I would be very wrong if I said they might be just as happy to see all of us back home as well as we would like to be back there with them. The country over here is really a beautiful sight. There are many mountains, most of which are culti- vated from the lowest valley to the uppermost parts of the mountains. All farm work is done by oxen and some of the plows used, I believe were handed down from the Egyp- tians. The animals work very slow- ly, but do a good job. The chief crops grown here are wheat, green peas, and hay. The orchards are oranges, tangerines, lemons, grape- fruit- and olives and then there are thousands of acres of grape vine- yards. ‘They believe in growing enough grapes so they can have their Vino.
