Along with the purchase of properties by those who are attracted by the nature1 beauties of the mounains, springs and streams, the Section is becoming “modernised*’. The • survey for electric service has' been completed and the stakes set ready for the erection of poles. Both the old residents and the newcomers are enthusiastically welcoming %the prospect ofhaving electric current connected to their homes in the near future. Two roads from Sperryville lead to the section—one is secondary road No. 600, leaving Sperryville at James Atkins’ store, the other leaving the Lee Highway at Estes Mill. Another route is a good gravel road from FT Valley by Piedmont Baptist church. The shortest route is by secondary road No. 608 from F.T. Valley work has been started by the highway- department for the improvement .of this road which is nine-tenths of a mile ' long.. ' Joseph v. uirx«r, an ex* ecutive of the Surgeon General’s office in Washington, was the first to purchase a vacation home ia Jenkins Hollow. Since spring he and Mrs. Carter have been spending frequent week-ends at the place purchased from Clarence Jenkins. They have remodeled their log cabin into a guest house and made some changes in the main dwelling. Other improvements are contemplated. Miss Margaret Holmes, connected with the Department of National Defense has purchased ten. acres at the top of the hill back of the home' of Roy Jenkins and is planning to have a log ' cabin built for vacation use. The cottage, orchard and 25 acre plot of Otis Bennett, in the bend of the Hazel river, has been purchased by T. J.

This sprouting can be prevented by a simple treatment. The treatment will not injure the potato in any way and is relatively cheap. The material used is methyl-ester of napthaleneacetic acid, a hormone. This material is sold commercially under several trade names such as Barsprout, ^Sprout Inhibitor, NonSprdtot, and Stop Sprout. It is applied as *a dust.' This sprout retarding material should be applied at the rate of 1 gram of hormone which is usually about 1% oz. of the commercial mixture per bushel of . potatoes. *• v • Spread out a layer of potatoes about one potato deep in the bin ‘.or crate and dust with the ms‘.tIj is adcled ana the treatment is repeated. Sufficient dust should be applied so that it is easily visable on the surface of «the ,potatoes. - After treating potatoes should he stored in a dark place at a temperature o£,,40 to 45 degrees^ Seed potatoes should not be treated with sprout inhibitor. Ladies Auxiliary The ladies auxiliary of Emmanuel church met Wednesday evening last week with Miss Louise O’Bannon. The devotional was conducted by Dr, W. G. Pendleton.

Zinn, manager of Dolmont Farm to an inspection visit of Adams Plantation, near Lynchburg on Thursday, December 15 to look over the Angus bulls. Mr. Adams reports .having several, head from 18 to 24 months of age priced at $300.00 up. Many persons will recall that ten bulls were purchased by Rappahannock farmers from this herd in the past and reports are they have proven most satisfactory. Anyone interested in a bull and would like to accompany iu« let me know. B. Dolph, owner of Dolmont has increased the else of his Angus Breeding herd to 160 odd head. Isaac Parrish, who purchased the Browning farm near Estes a few years ago, has increased the size of his Angus herd through the purchase of a nice lot of cows from a Culpeper farmer. 'Both of these men have. also made purchase of good registered sires: the former, a bull from Le Barron and a Berkshire boar from Street, Maryland, while Mr. Parrish purchased a nice young bull from Charlie Tinsley, of Culpeper. ¥ ¥ ¥ The Baby Beef project seems to be growing in popularity among Rappahannock 4 - H members.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 IAJCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Application for entry as secondclass matter is pending. Subscription:-$2.00 a year EDITORIAL Qdc Rappahannock County High School? 4 recent, census taken by school Officials in the state of Virginia shows that the population of Rflftpahannoek county is decreasing, One reason for this decline is-probably attributable to the fact that Rappahannock is predominately agricultural and farm machinery is replacing hired .labor, It .now requires fewer pereoaato cultivate more acres. Peftftif are moving to Front Roy_ali.fei workjet the American Viseoaa; Corporation, to ^EjGTpeiJef, and to other communities to find occupations"Blit the decline is not caused merely by a scarcity of jobs. Unfortunately part of the decrease ean be traced to the .fact that Rappahannoet does not offer ail the advantages and opportunities in its schools that other schools do. For instance, neither Sperryvillc nor Washington High School presents any kind of business course. Numerous iocal girls and boys would like to learn typing and shorthand, but they have to go elsewhere to do so. This is just one example of the many shortages. Few people even pretend to lenow all the answers, but nearly everyone that does much thinking about this problem probably admits that consolidation is at least partly a solution. By consolidation is meant having the high school for the whole county either at Washington or Sperryville. It would seem that this could be 4one without much additional expense. What orchardist -would operate two packing houses 'on his farm when one could suffice? What dairyman would use two different dairy barns for his herd if he covld do the work in one of them? They would both avoid the duplication and the additional expense. What would consolidation of the two high schools in this county mean? It would seem to do** this': Fewer teachers could teach more pupils, thus releasing at least one or two teachers for additional and different classes. It would separate the smaller and younger children from the larger and older ones to the mutual benefit of both. It would cut down operatyonal expense of the overall system. By consolidating the two schools athletic and scholastic standards of both' would be greatly improved. In unity there is strength. This matter was discussed and argued at a county meeting in the Washington High School auditorium last year. No decision was made. Petty prejudices seemed to stand in the way of any change. There was misplaced emphasis on “good old W.H.S. and S.II.S.” People did not seem to realize that one Rappahannock County High School could serve the county more efficiently than two County*Widfc Telephone Service "With the newspaper as new as it is, there is difficulty in know* ing how other people feel about the question of .Rappahannock county being split up in telephone service. Perhaps the newspaper is the only business inconvenienced by this dual system of two sets of phones in. one small county. The logical place for the location of a county’s newspaper is, of course,’ at the county seat. Yet, located there, it is impossible to call the chairman of the county Board of Supervisors without a toll call that goes from Washing► ton to Front Royal to Washington, D. C., to Culpeper and back into Rappahannock county at Amissville. The same problem arises if the paper wants to find out the hours of church services at Slate Mills, or the story is repeated for • information from Huntly. Rappahannock county i& far from the largest county in the state in, area; we are not so disunited in matters of mail service; the roads are good and yo>u< can travel from one end of the county to the other in fortydive minutes; and anyone can tell you that pride in the county runs just as thick in the veins of Amissville as it does in <SpenryvjU%-F^-T., JElin# HiU. -&SXS hollow, and at the Courthouse. We pay well for telephone service. It’s sure every citizen of Rappahannock county is patient if something goes amiss with the mechanics of the system, but perhaps some othe/s, like the newspaper, have found this disunity in the county a detriment. Looking ht the matter in a way we could understand, we said thusly: suppose a fellow walked into the office and asked us for a county newspaper. We took his nickel and handed him a paper with the front and back pages 'torn off. With his complaint, we could say: .“That’s a special telephone edition, you just get the middle section for the price of the whole.” smaller high schools. The school board of Rappahannock county has authority to make this improvement. Since the general public does not want to solve the problem, perhaps the school board should. The law in this respect is as follows: ‘“The school board shall have authority . . . to provide for the consolidation of schools and for the transportation of pupils whenever such procedure will contribute to the efficiency of the school system.” —R.V.S. _ Farm Bureau Writes All Types of Life Insurance ALLEN D.

"IN EARLY ARIZONA” Hog-Killing In Vrginin - Ii Big Business Killing and processing hogs for consumption on' Virginia farms is big business, $29,629,000 worth last year—but each - year farmers lose more than $1,090,000 because of spoilage and insect infestation. t iSo says George Herring, ani- , mal husbandman at VPI, who points out that the loss could be avoided by careful practices at hog-killing time. Here is his adviee: > The weather should hje cold enough so when hogs ate killed ~ • one day, the carcasses will be thoroughly chilled by the next morning. Salt and cut meat after . chilling., ' 'j. ' ■Well-finished, buft not excessively fat hogs—290 to 269 pounders—are best for home use, or for sale of cured products. Hogs should <be gaining in weight at killing time. Don’t get hogs excited immediately before killing. A poor bleed and meat spoilage may result from over-excitement. . The water temperature for . scalding should be 145 to 150 degrees, but higher temperature may be used if it is hard to main.Jain them. However, too high a x temperature wiir"set the MS— ™ make the job of scraping difficult. Curing meat is a race between - the germs that cause spoilage, and the penetration of salt into the meat. Quick chilling ef the carcass, applying the proper amounts of curing mixture, hold: ing temperature of meat near 38 to 49 degrees, and proper length of time* in cure—all help to avoid spoilage. Herring advises against producing .heavy hogs for farm , slaughter. The percentage of lard —currently selling below the liveweight price of hogs—increases rapidly after hogs reach 259 pounds. The cost per pound of gain increases after that point. Hogs with long bodies, and welldeveloped hams and loins are best. . ‘‘We hang together or we may all hang separately.” y—-— Dairymen To Hare Short' Course At VW fr lV' -v..M'|§^ Applications for the • dairy herdsmen’s short course, scheduled for January 9-14 at VPl, now are being accepted in the order received.

Mail in' his restless,• uncounted mood has not remained stationary. One of the first ways of transportation was boat, perhaps only . to carry our forefathers from one hunting ground to another; as time passed man used beasts to ride and pull carts, next must have been rafts to cover bodies of water. The greatest step came with the automobile; with Hie top speed of 2Vz miles an hour, compare that with tae speed of automobiles today.^ Imagine the confusion that Womr-lfTstrrr Tiie "Uiifie d' Stales" awoke one morning to find all its cars and all of its tools and machines to manufacture them destroyed. Just think how lost we would be without the automobile, which brings food to our very tables; and doctors to the bedside of the sick. How lost we would be without the ambulance to carry the sick to hospitals, and the fire trucks to bring firemen to save our homes. We all know that transportation has been responsible for the growth of our land in business and cities. Ye,s, today we can travel over the natioti in strean\lined trains, visit foreign countries in g er.t •ocean liners or airplanes. We can travel underground or on the ground, under the water as well as on the water. How would we like to see the automobile that will be developed two thousand years from now? Would they resemble those of t.&day, or many times more powerful; more in the air or more atomic?

*r ' ■ ■ Spefryville School News EDITORIAL In thje early spring what a pleasure it ie to watch the mother hog with her brood of healthy* looking pigs. The farmer smiles with pride as he tells his neighbors how he will fatten them and how much they will weigh “come butchering time.” The family becomes attached to the pigs and wonder if they can endupe to slaughter them as they grow older apd become real hogs, the attachment for them as pigs gradually dwindles and is replaced by thought of how good ham will taste at Christinas (such is human nature). And then butchering day is here, all is hustle and bustle. The wives bake pies and calces and common grub-—to set a bountiful table for a group of hungry hard working, and descrying . men.; The children loathe to leave for school, hut their parents insist and off they go. When they come home in the evening what an appetizing aroma meets them. The cause for the aroma is the frying of tenderloin and sausage. After the butchering day is about over and everything is taken care of with the exception "bf the tail, for which all the chib, dren fight, and when the tired people set down to supper, they than); the Lord for being so generous to provide meat for the long cold winter. So you see, folks why hog killing is a necessity. 4-H Club News The officers of the junior 4-H are Bernice Nethers, secretarytreasurer; Margy Dodson, president, and Jeane Dillinger, vice president.

Diary of A Freshman *Monday, Nov. 28 Dear Diary: Monday morning started with English, it seems we are all having trouble with infinitives, participles, and gerunds. Current Events is not so much trouble, it is more interesting today—we got more questions to look up. Algebra class went on as usual •until someone brought food to _the lunchroom and Mr. Winfrey' had to be out for a while. We ' welcome these ‘‘food-flbringers” for more reasons than one. Science brought more work on the study of machines—and what girls in our class are bothered about machines? In home room ec it was planning day, as this week tempting odors will fill the upstairs rooms. * * # Tuesday, Nov. 29 Dear Diary: We are still having trouble with those infinitives, participles and gerunds. Wonder if they get as tired of us as we do of them. We have a little mqre work to do in Algebra, so it is getting harder. We girls have physical ed and t' e boys have agriculture at Washington, we got off the 6th period because Washington and Sperryville F.F.A. boys had a baskeball game. j*. ... * * *___ Wednesday, Nov. 30 Dear Diary: Still having trouble with that English—those poor infinitives, participles and gerunds. In C. E. ciasa we had a test—It was not !>o Hard. Mr. Winfrey gave us more algebra problems. In Home fcc we cooKea spaghetti, wh.ch I thought very good. * * * Thursday, Dec. 1 Dear Diary: In English we had a test and everyone passed, un Hoy! Iww we can have something else, let’s hope it won’t be as hard as infinitives, participles ana gerunds. Algebra class seems to get harder and harder, but Mr. Winfrey is patient. We took music touay and practiced Christmas songs, which everyone enjoyed. In Home Ec we made a salmon loaf, which was very good. vr Friday, Dec. 2 Dear Diary: Well, today in English we looked into me mysteries of adjectives and adverbs. The picture man was here and we had a very short algebra period. In Home Ei we had a good salmon loaf to eat. Boy! Yum, Yum. * *, * Diary of A Sophomore Monday, Nov. 2€ Dear Diary: - Due to an act of mercy Mr. Winfrey was late for class. Silas Marner is-getting more and m9»e^ filled with, suspense. Tomorrow^ we have a six weeks test in bu ology, today we studied for it, we hsd physical ed under Mrs. Quaintance. In hom^ ec we sew ed on dresses. Tuesday,. Nov. 29 Dear Diary: ailas .Warner is getting more interesting every day. We had a six week biology test., William say tehy study in study ahll, but mucn to Mrs. YVin.rey s distress they seem to prefer studying magazines. Wednesday, Nov. 30 r Dear Diary: Today we had a six week’s test on Silas Marner. The class was interrupted by Mr. Johnson calling out the fire fighters for practice. The class ended with an interesting discussion on that ever living topic “Boys”. The boys returned when algebra period was almost over. We had Glee Club practice with Miss Wood. Thursday, Dec. 1 Dear Diary: Literature, algebra and biology went on with the same amo;nt of study and hard work. Friday, Dec. 2 Dear Diary: We carried on Literature class by ourselves, because the teacher had other business to attend to. Donald took up lunch tickets and Dorothy took up contributions for the T.B. Association. Biology period was short due to the fact ^.that the photographer came. We all pitched in and belped tlean up the auditorium for the amateur show, which I hope will be a success. . Always welcome lingerie and hosiery gifts fro everyone—from teen to granny-age !
