special selects and the wastes or culls. 
Cheap culls of fruit may be the best 
fruit there is, as in oranges which are 
just ripe, but too ripe to ship to far 
cities. 
Fish and shell fish down the coasts, 
and freshwater fish where there are 
commercial fishing and local fish docks 
are often sources of supply for the 
tourist. Such fine foods as country 
sausage, country sorgum, barbecue 
meats, are available in the Appalachian 
mountain villages and often at farms. 
The best must be often asked for in 
general terms, because one will not 
hear of certain local dishes unless 
meals are bought in local boarding 
houses, restaurants, or even at wayside 
cabins. 
On a long tour, one of a month, say, 
the food question is exceedingly impor- 
tant. Solving it is a matter of having 
the proper ‘cooking equipment and a 
good grub box. But with a good, am- 
ple water tank and reasonable care 
and time, perhaps eating will bring as 
much diversity of experience as any- 
thing in the touring regions. 
Energy vs. Actual Killing

and I had to stun it. The first shot 
pulped the lungs, the second tore a hole 
through the skull and out the throat 
and the animal finally bled to death as 
this bullet cut the jugular vein on the 
way out. 
Claims made by many riflemen of 
the exceptional vitality of the wood- 
chuck are not at all exaggerated as the 
above will show. Expanding bullets, 
however, tell a different story for the 
same cartridge. 
HE first shot with a 150 grain hol- 
low point bullet at 225 yards 
struck a ’chuck in the ribs. Mr. ’Chuck 
was standing up beside a fence post. 
He was thrown at least ten feet out 
into a field and, as far as I could see, 
never kicked. Far side of chest was 
completely torn out. Another, an ex- 
ceptionally large ’chuck, was hit with 
the same style load. First bullet struck 
side of jaw from the rear and came 
out near the eye. ’Chuck was knocked 
down and stunned, but he got up again 
and, as he swung around, a second bul- 
let practically tore off the rear two- 
thirds of his body. Yet he was still 
alive when picked up. Another ’chuck 
was shot while running for his hole at 
a range of 15 yards. The animal was 
completely split open and died instant- 
ly. Very occasionally, however, a hol- 
low point or expanding bullet will pen- 
etrate the chest of a ’chuck without ex- 
panding and in such cases will be lit- 
tle, if any, more effective than the 
average full metal-cased spitzer bullet
