Croup Requests 10 Per Ceni Increased Virginia Corn Production In 10,>‘5 Coals Virginia farmers are asked by ihu U. S. Department of Agricul ture to increase then 195'.; corn production by about 40 per cent over the short 1952 crop The department also recom mended • through its State Agri cultural Mobilization Committee <AMC> that ihe pioduction of tame hay, soybeans, sweet pota toes, and certain spting vegeta bles be boosted. A decrease is sought in the pioduction of \vheat. already seeded, in white potatoes, oats, and cotton, ac cording to C. D. Jordan, chair man of the State AMC No production goals are estab lished for peanuts and • cco, sc ce these crops are under mar keting quotas, and the planted acreage is controlled through ai 1 itments. 1953 Goals Following are the 1953 Virginia acreage goals, the expected pro duction on that acreage based on latent average yields, and in parentheses, the 1952 planted acreage "and production therefrom as estimated by ihe Bureau of Agricultural Economics: Corn—980.000 acres. 44.133.000 hasiids 1973.000 acres, 31,1114.000 bushels' \ Oat: 185.000 acres. 4 ti'tia.OOO oushe' 1 193 000 aCi 4 719.000 bushels' Hot claims 17.000 acre:: in 1953 compared to ll.llOO acres in 1953.

Also announced earlier was a 1953 sweet potato goal of 31.000 acres, compared to 17.000 acres actually planted in 1953. whereas the white potato goal was put at 33.000 acres against 37.000 in 1953. To complete the picture, goals on four spring vest tables, the only ones of much importance eommerically. weie named in i.iii.s m a percentage of the 19,53 acreage. They ar.: spring snap beans, on which a 5 per cent acreage increase is asked: beets, where 10 per cent more acreage is .asked spring cabbage, .same acreage; and spinach, where 5 per celil acreage decrease is l rroiumended. Corn'-was laird hit by the 1053 drought, and Virginias produc tion dropped sharply. At the be ginning of the year. State farm ers were asked to produce 45. 570,000 bushels, or y per cent more than in 1951. The actual imp of 31,614.000 bushels, ac cording to BAE's December esti mates. is far short ot the goal. Corn Yield In Tidewater Virginia, where corn is an important commercial crop. Mr. Jordan said that yields can be improved somewhat under normal growing conditions. Also, he said that more acreage can be put into corn where the labor or mechanical handling facilities < \ist. In the remainder of the State, where there is somewhat a scarcity of farm labor, he rec ommended that farmers concen trate on increasing corn yields lather than acreage.

However lie said that the ; goal was not consistent with the 1952 production of 23,000 bales on 23.000 acres, one of the best cot ton years Virginia growers have enjoyed. Mr. Jordan also fed that the good prices cotton has brought plus the smaller acreage allotments on peanuts and tobac co in 1953 may be an incentive for more cotton to be planted. In releasing the goals from the State A8>icultura. Mobiliza j lion Committee. Mr. Jordan ex plained that they are merely guides to assist farmers toward over-all production objectives.

Virginia, under Act of Congress *•) March 1879 Member Virginia Press Association Member National Editorial Association TUESDAY, JANUARY i:’., ,. Century and Quarter CONGRATULATIONS to the Religious ^ Herald upon completion of 125 years qT service to the Baptist denomination of Vir ginia. The weekly publication devoted to extension of Christianity has effected a pro found influence upon the people of Vir ginia. especially those of the Baptist faith who consider it the official spokesman of the Baptist Associations. It is well edited and an influential organ of which not only mem bers of the Baptist faith but every Virgin ian can be proud. May its notable past be exceeded by its future service in extending Christian principles. Long, Long Week I AST week was the longest we remember. ^ It appeared that Sunday with its period of rest would never come around. There is no wonder. It followed two weeks in which there were tnid-week rest days—Christmas and New Year. Six rest days in the preced ing two weeks—December 21. 25, 28, Janu ary 1 and 4—spoiled us considerably and made the first full week in the New Year a long, long one. Did it affect you that way, too ? Christmas Day seems ages ago, when in fact it was celebrated only 17 days ago. Hardly seems possible, does it? And we bet every New Year's resolution lias been brok en already. Easter comes early this year. April 5, which presages an early Spring. Already the days are getting longer, particularly noticeable in tin* lengthening evenings. We will await February 2, Groundhog Day, with interest, in the hope that the contro versial little weather prophet will indicate good weather until the Ides ol March. Time marches on—our opportunity is to make the best use of it. Silence Is Golden CHE NATIONAL ARTS FOUNDATION recently urped juke-box distributors t<> include one blank disc in music boxes which would allow any patron to buy five minutes of silence. The idea is that silence is worth more than some of the records used in juke boxes these days and it has its merits. The director of the Foundation. Carle ton Smith, believes that silence is one of the most expensive luxuries in the l nited States today and both pood for the nerves and necessary to enjoy music. We could add to this observation by noting that silence is seldom observed when juke-box music is beinjr played, though we are not ready to say it is necessary it the music is to be enjoyed. If the Foundation’s surestions lor a! live-minute’s silence purchase is followed,] we surest that juke-box owners also have! one slot, which would take quarters, which would guarantee a half-hour’s quiet. Russian Neutrality MARSHAL RODANY MALINOVSKY. Supreme Commander of the Soviet Forces in the Far East has reportedly com pleted a recent inspection of the Korean battlefront. This report came from the London Times. It was interesting to note that the So viet commander’s visit to the front follow ed by only a short t;-ne General Eisenhow er’s visit. Evidently the Russians are sensi tive about the Eisenhower visit and perhaps feel that it may indicate a U. N. otFensive. In fact, there have been reports that Chinese forces both in Korea and in China were beinp heavily reinforced. The visit ot‘ the Soviet commander shows just how thoroughly Soviet Union is involved in the Korean conflict. The U. S. President-elect visited the Korean front as the President of the country which was hearing the brunt ot the war there. The Soviet commander visits the front, shortly afterward, even though' the Soviet Union is technically not suppos ed to be involved. This incident serves to highlight the farce which is played out often in U. X. and other international circles, when it is assumed that the Soviet Union is neutral. The Soviet Union is the force behind the Korean War, represents the prod that initiated the attack on South Korea and represents the force which is continuing the war while talking peace. To refuse to admit these facts is nothing less than a case of appeasement blindness. Warning Crosses rpHE NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL recently announced that the four-day Christmas week-end exacted a highway death toll of 556. This is an all-time record, surpassing the previous record of 555 fatal ities in the Christmas holiday of 19%. When considering the 556 deaths, due to highway accidents during the recent Christ mas week-end, one must also take into ac count the thousands temporarily or perm anently injured in these and other accident s. It occurs to us that the offering of some 500 lives each Christmas is a sacrifice which is almost as unappreciated as it is unneces sary. At least one state has attempted to re mind motorists of the death threat which always hovers above the highway by erect ing crosses along the highway where deaths have occurred. It is a sobering sight to see three or four crosses in a spot on the side of the road as one speeds along to his des tination. The sight, and resulting medita tion. have caused more than one driver to slow down. The method has been tried by the State of Florida, and it is worth the consideration of all states who have not tried it. Midgret Sports Cthe lust two years an interesting con troversy has arisen over the growth of midget sports in the United States. By midget sports, we mean all organized sports for youngsters twelve years of age and un iter. In 1950, thp National Recreation Asso ciation Congress set up a committee from the recreation field to formulate principles of guidance to be followed by community recreation leaders. This committee of twenty-three mem bers met the next year and, in 1952, the committee released a number of conclusions and suggested principles concerning highly organized, competitive sports for young sters twelve and under. The committee found that sports for those under twelve years of age should not be “highly organized, competitive athletics.” The committee considers any athletic ac tivity which involves a considerable amount of leisure time, of the youngsters, spent in formalized practice; or encourages large scale attendance by adults; or is limited to the best players, and involves a selection of winners on state, regional or national sche dules, highly crganized. Thus intra-mural competition in foot ball, basketball, tennis or other sport is not considered highly organized. The committee felt that the failure of many midget sports programs, in the highly competitive field, was that they did not provide every boy with a chance to compete to the best of his ability, even though he was not one of the best players in his particular community. The committee also felt that the fun damental goal in all midget recreational programs should be the development of the qualities of good citizenship, and the satis faction of basic human needs, such as ac ceptance, adventure and recognition, and also happiness. Further, the committee feels that com petitive athletics should be only a part of the total community recreation program, which should include activities like outdoor living, games, music, drama and the arts and crafts. This field is too often neglect ed in favor of some highlv organized and I highly competitive midget sport. It also suggests that equal funds be allowed for the recreation opportunities of girls, compared with those of the Hoys.

"Doc" Whitaker Babson Discusses Transportation Babson Park, Mass — Going back millions of years, tlie Evolu tionists ’laim that our earliest ancestors transported themselves by wiggling their tails in the wa ter: and finally developed legs from their fins so as to walk on dry land. Assuming these Scien tists are right although they may not be then these lizards finally developed into human beings. Hence. \u> will start our essay on Transportation by be ginning it with'WALKING. CHANGES ALWAYS OCCUR As our ancestors became tired if always walking, they used SLEDS hauled by various tamed animals—from oxen to horses. At the same time, they made CA NOES out of holloweo logs, which they finally developed into SAIL ING VESSELS. This was the state of the art when North America was settled, although CARTS with WHEELS were soon used to take the place of sleds. When 1 was a boy the only means of transportation was HORSES and BUGGIES, wagons, barges and ' hacks' which took people to weddings and funerals. RAILROAD lines were rapidly being constructed and STEAM BOATS performed an important 1 unction. Fares were cheap and Height rates low on all these inodes of transportation. Al though changes and improve ments were very gradual, yet they were continallv taking place. STREETCARS AND BESSES I saw the first horse CAR LINE constructed in Gloucester, and later one of m.v first jobs was to work on changing that horse car line into an electric line. I lemember being greatly thrilled by taking my wedding trip on electric street cars with various changes. Fifty years ago the en tire country was honeycombed by ELECTRIC CAR lines, most of which have been discarded. The early promoters of these electric lines made a lot of money: but v hen automobiles came most of them lost their money. This change brought about the development of BUS TRANS PORTATION botli within the cities and between the cities. The only way most electiic car lines could compete with automobiles was by ripping up their rails and opertaing on rubber tires. As a resutl, the public is now getting better service from these busses than they ever had from street cars or horse-drawn hacks which developed into motor-driven taxis. In the meantime, RAILROADS were forced to greatly improve their service with faster and air conditioned trains. TRANSPORTATION CONDI TIONS TODAY 'I ansportation is no longer a luxury. I cannoj understand why the Interstate Commerce and various State Regulatory Com missions are kept alive, except to give political jobs. Not only are all the means above competing with themselves, but the TRUCKS and PRIVATE AUTO MOBILES are competing with all of these other different branches of transportation. Furthermore, the airplane is constantly carry ing more passengers and more freight. The next step will be to the helicopter. In fact.

Thanks for ’fending Yours, J Marvin Brown JOBLESS AID The amount of money available for jobless benefits to workers covered by the state unemploy ment insurance laws has readied a record $8,400,000,000. according to the Labor Department. Tin fund has grown by $500,000,000 this year, mainly because of high employment and an increase in the nujnber of workers covered by state laws. building in Boston, with direct subway connections, to serve as a landing place for helicopters. Have ,we reached an end of radical changes In the transpor tation of persons and goods? I say “No." What the next step will be none of us can tell. Some think it. will come through a new engine using atomic power in some form. Others believe that we will return to running our busses and motor cars byi electric storage batteries instead of gasoline. The electricity might be made very cheaply from the ray* of the sun shinning on the roofs of our garages. <In Miami the hot water used in homes is heated by the sun on the roofs of the houses.'

TRAIL'S END has spent a fortune on Wh te Leghorn bn eciin- stock. 3000 large type, high egg blooded breeding cockerels were bon lit during the past 5 years. 1000 of them from dams with eg: records of 300 eggs and higher m 31 weeks. These cockerels were mated to founda tion stock raised from hatching eggs, pullets, and hens bought from world famous breeder-, whose stock had won outstanding honors and the world's highest e g records, in Jayins contests. That is why Trail's End White Leghorns are so large, healthy, and long living They are not mbie(l. They are the best layers of all time of large white r uts, regardless of k. nd of breed, l'heir continuous laying of large flute eggs throughout the year is the way a lot of them build up llieir 300 egg yield during the year, and tlr it' fine recurds have earned them suc res: stones in farm paper. "I have never owned such large lions and line layers in all my hie. If is hard to believe they could lay so many eggs.' farmers ;|nd poultrymen are saying.

Longer Terms NSLI Premiums a Savings, Y A Tells Veterans Veterans holding National Service Life insurance and other forms of Government life insur ance were advised by the Veter ans Administration that they make a saving in the pay ment of premiums if they are able to pay them m advance on a Quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis instead of every month. Veterans who are able to pay premiums m advance in this fashion will have a reduction over the regular monthly premi um rates of 3 per cent per year. Paying premiums every three months, Si\ months or twelve months has another definite ad vantage over monthly payments. YA said, m that there is much less chance of the veteran over looking one of the monthly pay ments and running the risk that his insurance may lapse. As a taxpayer, a veteran will be contributing to more economy in Government costs if lie is able to pay insurance premiums on an • advance* basis instead of each month.

Prompt Planting Living Yule Tree Needs Watering, If you’ve bought a living , Christmas tree, uon’t keep it in ; doors too long. The 'emptation is . great to have the ornamented ; greenery grar. the living room i for days after the ifuletide. But you will enhance its chances for j survival if you plant the tree as I soon as possible after Christmas, advises W. R. Strickland, field representative of the Davey Tree Expert Co. Above all. when the balled plant is in a heated 1 oom. be sure to water the roots dinly. Dried-out roots are a distinct handicap to the evergreen and contribute greatly to tlie transplanting mor tality rate. In setting out the tiec. be care ful to place it In a pit of ample size. Use only a good grade top soil or garden loam for the fill back. And don't plant your tree below the grade at which it originally grew. In ether words,1 the top of tire bin lapped ball should be level with the adjoin ing ground. The Christmas tree tn. splant will need an "overcoat' mulch to help it survive frigia blasts and deep root freezing. This means heavy layers of peac moss, salt hay. straw or other suitable cov ering material should be applied immediately after planting. Keep ing out frost for the balance of the Winter is desirable for the continuing good health of Uie evergreen. Mr. Strickland sounds another precautionary note.

Needn't Hurt Housewife CINCINNATI —"Oh, my aching buck’" the housewives' complaint • could become as outdated as th* butter churn if the queens of the home would relax with their chores, a University of Cincinnati heallh authority declared here re ceritly. No Reason for Strain Prof Helen N Smith, head of Cincinnati university's department of women -', physical and health education, sees no reason why homework should produce strains, pairs, and flabbiness. Ordinary routines performed as exercises can offer the silver lining of gm proved figures and feelings. Here is the secret: Know arid observe the proper ways of stand ing. walking, climbing, stooping, lifting, pushing, pulling, and carry ing heavy objects. These are a few Hints, as of fer -d by I’rof. Smith: When you stoop over to pick things up or put things in the oven, go down on one knee, keep ing the trunk erect Bending from the hips and spine, with the knees Straight, will make drudgery of your work, give you backaches and wide, spreading hips. Your work tables, ironing board, and sink should be the proper height for you. so that you do not have to bend over them or hunch up to tnem. Don’t let a salesman tell you how high they should be. Have them fitted to you Way To Bend When hanging out clothes, kneel down to the basket on a high rest go yikt don’t have to stoop. Don't tend over from the hips and spine. Sweeping is a wonderful hip ex ercise, if you use them —your hips, that is. Much better than just push ing a broom with your shoulders.

Many kinds o.' trees that shed their foliage in the fall offer an endless arr^y of color combi- : nations in their barks and twigs. Survey your grounds now for 1 spots where such specimens can be planted next spring to brighten up your scenery tne following winter. The color attributes of certain delightful specimens are even more apparent in the dor mant season. There is no con cealment by massive green foli age. Notable for their colorful bark are the birches, which have white, yellow, or reddish bark, depend ing upon species. Beeches offer many shades of solid gray. Syca mores, with their flaking old bark, present bold, spotted greenish yellow patterns. Cherry barks of fer sprightlier displays in bright browns, some approaching red. Twigs give colorful effects, too. Consider the willows. They have branches that range from bright yellow to orange and red. Some evergivens also offer contrasting color schemes. For instances, old er species of Scotch pine show a strong yellow in their higher branches. The red pine’s upper branches take on a reddish cast. ^ Horrent APARTMENT — 4 rooms, unfur ! lushed upstairs. 41Q East Second 1st. Phone 94W.

Marginal Members Of Beef, Dairy Herd Cause Income Drop Check beef cow herds to see if some culling is in order. That's the advice to beef cattle producers in southwest and j southern Virginia from Curtis } Mast, associate animal husband- j man at VPI. Mr. Mast says culling out mai ginal cows is the best way to conserve feed this winter. Ani mals which should be culled in clude over-aged cows which take a lot of feed to winter and which are hard to keep up; poor milk ers; off-colored cows, such as; roane cows in Hereford herds or white-faced cows in Angus herds. Off - colored calves brought around $14 a head less than did the straight - colored calves on 1 1952 markets. Also, cull cows with dairy breeding. Most of the time they produce medium grade calves, and in most of the calf sales in i952. mediums brought about $25 per head less than did the good and choice calves. There was a time when it was profitable to keep tows with dairy breeding, because prices were high and as long as they bore marketable calves they earned their keep. With the drop in cattle prices, this is no longer true. Miss Nellie Stinson Dies In Buckingham A funeral service for Miss Nellie B. Stinson. 70. who died Thurs day. Jan. 8. at her home, near Mt.
