No. 51 ROUMANIA
Lumbering and Farming in the Balkans
The forests of the Carpathian Mountains— felling the trees — oxen dragging the timber — “driving” the logs down the rivers — the sawmill.
Coopers, and mountains of barrels and packing cases — the flocks of poultry and the
dairy herds which supply the products going into these barrels and cases.
Agriculture as our forefathers practiced it — reaping and threshing — transporting the grain.
The vineyards — and the harvest festivals.
