County Farmers To
Organize Feeder
Pig Association

Prince Edward county farmers
have been invited to attend a meet
ing September 9 at 7::30 pm. In
the courthouse for the purpose of
organizing an area feeder pig sale
Dudley L. Peery. county agent,
conducted survey to determine
if sufficient interest was manifest
by local farmers to justify found
ing a local feeder pig association
Some 40 farmers returned a re-
Spouse favorable to such an organi-
cation.
The meeting will feature talk by
Roy M. Godsey. VPI swine special
ist. and election of a county di-
rector for the planned county
organization Other counties hold
ing similar meetings are Appomat-
tox, Buckingham, Nelson, Amherst.
Campbell. and Rockbridge.
Feeder pig sales in Eastern Vir-
GINA have brought good prices, and
such sale in this area would pro
vide buyers an opportunity to buy
more uniform pigs and at the same
time enable the farmer to sell his
pigs on graded basis, according
to Peery If such a sale is set up
by the area association. it will
most probably be held in Lynch
burg. noted the Extension Service
official.

Weatherwise, August Wasn't Much,
But September Beginning Is Hopeful

For the summer, the mercury
scored its peak in June when 1t
climbed to 1903 one day. August had
its heat, too. jumping up to- 100 de-
grees on the 2lst and lO1 on the
22nd.
September started out on the wet
side. but not cool by any means.
In Farmville the thermometer rose
to 88 on the first day of the month,
and then jumped a couple notches
to 80 the next day. Predictions for
the week end are close to tempera-
lures already recorded in Septem-
ber-near or in the COS.
Low temperatures here have been
in categories that make the nights
fairly comfortable. For most of
August lows dropped below 70, but
not down to the low for that month
SO recorded on the third. A low of
20 on the first of September and q
higher low OF II on the second plus
a sitting humidity have done little
to make September nights comfor-
table thus far.

from the Farmville Street Depart
ment force. a crew which has been
quite active in the past u months.
Town Manager E. L. Quisenberry
said today street work by the town
force is the municipal government
best way to provide better streets
without raising taxes.
In discussing the various projects
undertaken by the town force with
in the year. he noted how helpful
purchase of additional equipment
had been and pointed to factors
that would make purchase Of ad-
ditional equipment pay off for the
town. More jobs the force can
handle, the more money can be
saved for other improvements be-
cause contract work has profits
figured in where town. work is cost
only" said Quisenberry.
Vaughan Open to Traffic
A stabilized base has been estab-
lished on Vaughan between Long
wood Avenue and East Third. and
the final surface treatment will be
made soon. The street, left open to
traffic. was torn up because of
roughness of the old surface and
then rolled into a compact base.
Use Of a sheep foot roller after
wetting down the surface will con-
tinue until the base is fully stabi-
lized. The roller is new addition
to the street department equip
ment pool.
The town crew just recently COM
pleted surfacing North Bridge street
at. a cost of less than 81 900. There.
cutters were also installed to avoid
stopping-up of the drainage system
at the bottom Of the hill on Third.
Quisenberry said the surfacing and
gutter work was necessary to keep
