provide enough ventilation, this
moisture will condense on the

The result will be a wet house

The feed situation at present
is critical but the financial pinch

next spring. summer and fall
when there will be less livestock
to sell.
He urges all farmers with good
breeding stock to try and keep
them. 1T will cost more than
usual to winter them but it will
cost more than usual OF re-
placement in the spring. Ellis
said.
A number of things have been
done to help the farmers.
Several Of the railroads have
reduced their freight rates on
hay from 25 to so per cent. The
railroads are doing this and they
are getting no rebate from the
government The Seay Milling
Company has been designated to
handle this hay in the county.
Under the emergency relief
program. corn can be secured to
help feed breeding stock and for
other uses. To obtain this corn
contact the ASC office.
No doubt some farmers will
need to borrow to winter their
cattle. Contact your bank. Pro

the Farmers Home Administra-
ton.
The county agents office will
be glad to work with you on any
special problems or rations that
you have.

Winter is the preferred time
for small woodland owners to

less apt to attack Winter-cut
wood or the remaining trees.
Before any cutting is done the
owner should have a definite
plan. The basis of this plan
should be a thorough woodland
examination. This service is pro-
vided to woodland owners by the
Virginia Division Of Forestry and
by consulting foresters. Your

Foreign aid bills finally will
start moving from House and
Senate committees this week
toward even rougher than
usual clashes in both branches
of Congress.
The House Foreign Affairs
Committees plans to finish
work by Thursday on q bill
trimming more than $500 mil
lion from President Kennedy's
requested $4.5 billion. The
committee hopes for house pas
sage the first week in August.
Last year the annual authori-
cation legislation was passed
by the House on July IL and
went to the White House Au-
gust /.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee also expects
to complete consideration this
week of a measure cutting $27O
million from the administra-
tons recommendations. AL
though the Senate last year
passed its foreign aid au-
thorization bill in June, the
House might act first this year.
Ceilings Established
The bills simply set ceilings
on the amount of money that
can be voted in separate ap-
preparation bills later in the
congressional session. The
pending Senate and House
committee authorization bill
cuts have been less than the
administration feared. But the
administrator has reason to
be apprehensive about far more

authorization bill set a $4.757.-
