Consider my plight. I put up
fences and take them down again
so can put them up some other

fence, I wouldn't be moving it now.
It goes like this. I have to
fence in a pen of some sort. At
the time, it appears to be in the
most likely place. But that was
last month or last year, and now
it should be somewhere else.
So I get to work. Posts come

are dug. Wire is rolled up to be

Travellers Find
Europe Different
In Off-Seuson
By Horace Sutton

If you've been waving bon voyage
all summer but never been a voy-
ager, the time to head for Europe
is now. Europe in the fall is
cooler, cheaper and uncrowded
AS a tourist season, it is virtually
undiscovered.
In the summer, the Continent is
a scramble of foreigners, with the
IScandinavians basking under the
Mediterranean palms and the
Italians cooling themselves in the
Norwegian fiords.
So many Americans go to Paris
that half Of Paris evacuates the
city and takes refuge at the sea-
shore. About September / the
whistle blows and everybody sour
ries back to their own country
That's the time for a relaxed
European vacation.
For one thing, autumn travellers
on the Continent will not need q
personally notarized. guaranteed
reservation of firm space at q
hotel. The same thing goes fol
seats and berthS aboard special
trains and space aboard intra-
Continental airliners. Moreover
once the summer peak has passed
hotel rates, particularly at resorts
will begin to descend. A new rate
scale also goes into effect on some
of the rail lines.
Americans who visit European
cities in the fall will find them
selves living like Europeans rather
than following the insulated tour
IiSt Circuit in which summer travel
ers seem to revolve.
The inescapable prattle OF
Americans exercising long-for-
gotten high school French, which
fills the air of the Place de la
Concorde in summer, seems to be
blown out to sea by the September
breezes. New plays spring up on
the busy London stage, new shows
open in Paris, music and ballet
send orchestral notes floating
through opera houses from Madrid
to Stockholm that have been dark
and silent since last June.

Temporary SiIo
Is Easily Built >
By Digging Trench

Farmers who are finding It
necessary to cut corn for silase
because of dry weather will find
temporary silos the answer to
proper storage where there are
no permanent silos.
G. D. Kite, associate agricul-
tural engineer at VPI, said q
trench silo can be used to ad-
vantage on many farms. A bull
dozer or power scoop can dig a
trench having a capacity Of 100
tons in 10 to IL hours.
An above-ground silo made Of
snow fencing or welded wire and
lined with reinforced asphalt
paper is easily constructed and
will provide good storage for
silage. The fencing or wire can
be used for many years if prop
erly cared for. However, new
paper will be needed each year.
Material will cost from $75 to
$3.50. depending on the size.
The height of the silo should
be no greater than the diameter.
A silo Is feet in diameter with
four rings (total height about is
feet) will hold As to so tons.

|Meut Animals Led
Virginia Farm
Income in 1851

Meat animals led all other
sources Of agricultural income in
Virginia in 1851, according to fig
lures released recently.
George c. Herring, animal hus-
bandman at VPI. says the gross
income from cattle, sheep and
hogs reached the record figure
of $120. $4,000, up "a per cent
from 1850. The highest previous
figure was $110, 0,729, 900 in 1948.
Cattle and calves produced the
largest source of income among
meat animals, with $4,000 head
yielding 203,730,000 pounds live
weight. They crossed $62, 1926, 900,
as compared with $48, ,729. 900 in
1850. The average price of cattle
was 28.4 cents per pound, of calves
35.3 cents per pound. High prices
in 1851 played an important part
in the large income from cattle
and calves, although numbers and
production have been moving up
ward for several years.
Hogs crossed $50, sos, 900 in 1851,
compared to $43, 796, 900 in 1850.
Virginia produced 1,O52,000 head
and marketed 129, 1926, 900 pounds
at 20.7 cents per pound. Nearly
|one-half of the hogs produced in
Virginia go for farm slaughter.
The number of sheep and lambs
going for meat in 1851 was down
3 per cent from 1850, but income
was up-$4,805, 900. as compared
with $4,355,000 in 1850. Prices OF
lambs averaged 30.6 cents per
