Farm Stresses Cattle.
DR.. Vickers. who has continued
the development of Gordon's Dale,
was among the first Northern Vir-
ginia farmers to turn to grass.
He said he discontinued the culti-
vation of corn at a time when his
neighbors thought he had lost his
senses, but that the move proved
a good one.
The owner of Gordon's Dale is
now attempting to solve the labor
problem. He intends to keep
cattle only during the summer,
buying them in the spring and
selling in the fall.
Il believe you can find the solu-
ton to these farming problems If
you go at it," he said.
DR.. Vickers continues a heritage
of cattle breeding. In the hall at
Gordon's Dale hang two paintings
of an English uncle with his prize
winning Shorthorn. These were
painted about 1845.
Meanwhile, lovers Of historic
houses and gardens from many
sections Of the country continue
to pay annual visits to Gordon's
Dale to see the unusual lockwood
hedge and the historic house.
The cabin is included in the
Congressional Library's list of au-
thentic, historic houses of the
Nation. -J.B.

Price
Decline Is Seen
BY the Associofed Press

BLACKSBURG, Va. VPI
agricultural economist thinks the
price Of farm real estate will level
off, and perhaps decline slightly
in 1858.
DR.. j. L. Maxton said he believes
farm real estate prices have
reached a high point.
The reason is, he said, that real
estate prices rise or fall according
to what farmers expect to receive
for their products.
Farmers expect to receive less
next year for livestock and, with
some exceptions vegetables.
When the returns for farm
products decline, he said, land
values also 60 down.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
@. am a World War l veteran,
ard I've just passed my 65 h
birthday. Am | entitled to VA
pension based on my age alone?
I've never been sick, and I'm not
disabled--but l do need the mo-

are permanently and totally disa-
bled for reasons not connected with
their service, and whose yearly in
comes fall below certain levels
Age however is considered in es-
tablishino eligibility in relation to
applicability and the degree of
disability
