Quod Cato ait, circum fundum ulmos et populos, unde fros ovibus et bubus sit et materies, seri oportere (sed hoc neque in omnibus fundis opus est neque, in quibus est opus, propter frondem maxime), sine detrimento ponuntur a septemtrionali parte, quod non officiunt soli.
As to Catos remark that elms and poplars should be planted around the farm to supply leaves for sheep and cattle, and timber (but this is not necessary on all farms, and where it is necessary it is not chiefly for the forage), they may safely be planted on the northern edge, because there they do not cut off the sun.
