As and a longer warrn &ants Iowa is I we rolled down among these hills the un came out nice and bright, and I more suited to corn growing than Ontario But, in site of Iowa being a fine State, many fanners have sold their farms and gone, to the North- west of Canada, where they can buy land tench eheaner We read of many of these farmers returning to the United States, hut the percentage returning is not very large, arid those who do rehire nre the ones who went up there thinking they could take, up land and sit down and watch the land produce them a lieing; so Canada need not worry sheet some of these people leaving, for they are the class that is no good to Canada Iowa or any other place. Many very fine peo- ple and very fine farmers have gone front Iowa into the Canadian North- west and are doing well. One thing I like about Iowa is that the fsirmers keep their outbuildings neat and trim and generally well painted. This painting is something that the On- tario farmers sadly neglect. The barna in Iowa are not usually . as large as in Ontario There may be some farmers -who spacialize on stock raising that have fine' barns and stables, but take fa buildings in t general, I do not thik from east to west that I have r seen farm buildings anywhere near equal to the farm buildings in Ordarrio, especially 'the houses. I said that corn is not raised so much for fodder or ensilage in Iowa as for graiti t orn, yet silos , are very common. --Many farmers were just stripping ears of corn from 'their corn lie and hauling I them to great piles t shelling, and i In many fields the Stock was out stripping .the lea.es ,Off and leaving , the • bare socks littinding.

We find huge Buddas carved from stone everywhere among these ruins and when you come upon them unex- pectedly, one has an eerie feeling, which it is impossible to describe.

But I must leave many other interesting details of this city and proceed with our journey. might say there is usually bright sun- shine up in the high hills six or seven thousand feet above sea level. Some. times the sun was on one side of the train and sometimes on the other, sometimes it was straight ahead and sometimes directly behind; somet,imes the rear end of the train was nearer home than the front end as we curved and turned around the hills. Although the sun was bright up in the hills when we got within fifteen or twenty miles of Sacramento we ran into a fog belt that must have been very much like the California fog that Henry McIver used to tell us about. When he was in this country many years ago he went out one morning to shingle, and set 'his ladder up against what he supposed was the building; climbed up to the top, step- ped off and sat down on what he thought was the roof and commenc- ed to shingle, but after shingling for several hours the sun came out and the fog cleared away and let him down to the ground, and he found he had been sitting on the fog shingling nearly all forenoon.

The first was early in the morning, when we sud- denly came upon three wild deer, two rim back into the jungle while the third was so frightened he took. a flying leap and jumped clear across the front of our car and never touch- ed it. It was a sight that I will always remember. The second event was on this same road 'when return- ing about 7.30 p.m., and a very largo leopard majestically crossed the road in front of the car only 20 yards ahead of us. We speeded up a bit arid hurried by while the huge beast was crouched in the undergrowth ready to attack should we stop, no doubt. However, we were by and safe in a few minutes, but it was a thrill- ing moment. We spent the eight at Usherette, then on to Dambulla and dandy the ' 41f.t '• of the day.
