Lea Bros. Conducts Anniversary Sale The Anniversary Sale at Lea Bros, store will mark two milestones. The sale begins on a date denoting the lirst opening of the store and will continue to include the date of the opening of the new store building on "(Bound Hog Lay. 1934," to quote T. C. Lea. •» Storekeepiiig is a family fail-* ing, says Mr. Lea, for his father, J. P. Lea, and his two uncles, W. B. Lea and L. L. Lea, were in the mercantile business. Where there used to be five stores in the family, theri^ are now two: T. ('. Lea's store in Washington and his brother's store at Massif's -Mill in Nelson county.' The Lea family came from North Carolina to Nelson county in Virginia, but T. C. lara has been in Washington since 102 7 and his active work in the community makes hint so much a Rappahannock citizen that the word ‘'Tar-heel'’ no longer fits. Prior to his arrival in Rappahannock, T. C. Lea attended Y.P.I. When he came to Rappahannock county in 1927, his uncles were his partners, hence the name Lea Bros. In 1944 he e purchased the interest of the partners but retained the name. From 1938 to 1941 Mr. Lea served as fire chief of the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department. In 1942 he served as chairman of the Panel War Price and Ration Board of .the county, and since 1944 he has served on the school board. Mr. Lea began the Rappahannock Insurance Agency in 1941 'by purchasing the Rappahannock Realty Company. He is a member of Trinity Episcopal church, and the- Masonic Lodge and Shrine; he served on the town council of Washington for a number of years, and is treasurer of Rappahannock Red Cross. -Mr. Leas anniversary sale is the third of this kind held at Lea Bros, store. The first sale was in 1950 and another in 1338. He has a handbill of the 1938 sale andthe prices are so low that it’s astounding. Clerking in the store at present are Mrs. Virginia Estes, Mrs. Ashby Wayland, and Ned Settle. Mr. Lea recalls nine clerks in the store. “Some of them got married and left, some got married and stayed, and some were just youngsters working after school hours. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Woodward both worked here,” he stated. When asked how he happened to come to Washington, he said Mr. Floyd Compton would have to take the blame. “I was looking for a place when I met Mr. Compton in Staunton—he-was traveling at the time—and he told me about Washington.” County Raises $500 In CROP Campaign Tlie sum of $500 was raised in the county in the CROP campaign which ended .Saturday. Of the total, $53.66 was realized from the auction sale held at the firehouse in Washington January 14. E:’ M. Jones, served as treasurer in the capipaign. Attended Inauguration Among those from Rappahannock who were in Richmond Wednesday to attend the inauguration of Governor John S. Battle, were Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Massie Jr., Mrs. R. L. Massie and son Bobby, W. A. Laing Jr., and A. C. Latham. MR- WILLIE NEGLECTS 84th BIRTHDAY 84th birthday, anniversary last ' Thursday, Jamiany 12. .■*. The statement should say. he ' "quietly overlooked his 84th anniversary” because Mr. Wijlie— the rased 1—didn’t let anyone know about it until it was past. ;G**-den Club Will Meet The January meeting of the Rappahannock Garden Club will be held Wednesday, January 25, at the home of Mrs. Charles Estes in Sperryville.

C. Campbell . brought to Rappahannock News office a copy of the famuli' cook hook entitled "Rail1 Rappahannock Kim: pcs," following the puldicati->11 of a' plea for a copy. Tins volume—min s i over - states that it was compiled hy the Woman’s Missionary Society of Woodville Baptist chtirch in lt'J'. Those serving on toe committee to compile the hook were tlie late Mrs. J. Hill O’Bannon. chairman; Miss Ethel Long, and Miss Julia Quaintance (Mrs. II. B. Wood). The little hook is charmingly decorated with poems and pithy sayings, and of its value,, as to the recipes; that is vouched fo1' hy many who state that their copies are hadi.v worn from use. Mrs. J. B. Carpenter of Culpeper volunteered to lend her copy of Rappahannock recipes and she stated that she desired it to he returned as the book was used frequently at her house. A lady in Culpeper whose family has been noted for its fine cooking for the past three generations. reported that the cook book was one of the best she had ever used, and she hoped that it would be reprinted. She wanted a copy, she said, since her-s was so badly worn by now and that some of the pages were missing. Mrs. Campbell’s cook book of Rappahannock recipes also shows wear mnd signs of constant use. Some page^ bear marks of the spilling ingredients, and the book will lie flat anywhere it is opened. The onljf complaint heard of the cook book to date is the same: “Mine’s almost worn out!’’ Twin Calves Born Two Consecutive Years A Hereford cow belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Guy Burke, who operate the county jail, has given birth to twin calves for two consecutive years. Last year “Peg”. .raised twin bull calves, named Amos and Andy, and also a foster calf which the Burke family acquired from a dairy farm. On Saturday, January 14, twin heifer calves arrived and were named Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth. The cow was purchased by the Burke family eight years ago from Robert Racer, and the twin calves which she raised last year brought top prices at the livestock market where they were sold.

The H.D. clubs that met last week were the Sperryville, Amissville, F.T. Valley and Woodville. Some very lovely trays were stenciled at the Sperryville Club, seven stenciled at the Amissville club, 14 stenciled at the F.T. Valley club, and seven stenciled at the Woodville H.D. club. The Sperryville Home Demonstration club met at the home of Mrs. Ned Johnson. Year books were given out and it was decided tiiat for the next meeting the club would have as their demonstration “Use of Attachments to the Sewing Machine.” A Singer sewing machine demonstrator from Winchester, will be present to give the demonstration. Tl.is meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. John Snead, Jr. Mrs. John Revercomb entertained the F. T. Valley Home Demonstration club. This was an all day meeting, begun at 10:20 a.m. The following business was taken up: $1.00 was contributed by the club to the March of Dimes; the new',year books were ghen out and explained. One half year's hostesses for the monthly meetings were decided upon. The club decided to send food to the Belle Meade school, to be used in making: soup for the children. Lastly the elu'b decided to have their next month's demonstration a continuation of tray stenciling and rug making. After thisfe business n(eeting a very delicious meal was served by the hostess and members. Each member brought along a covered dish, all of these were delicious. Then the members adjourned to the basement to stencil trays. This was such a fine place to work, everyone agreed that they had a most enjoyable day. The Amissville H.D. club met at Mrs. Charles Green’s, January 12 for an all day meeting. The day was conducted similar to the F. T. Valley meeting. Business was taken up first. The club also brought food that will be sent overseas, to the needy families. They made definite plans to sponsor a show and dance February 17. The Blue Valley Boys 'will be secured to play tne music for still has as their long time goal, a 'community ceq|er. The money received from the dance will go toward securing the above. .Needless to s^y another delicious meal was served. The hostess and the members helped with the meal. Each one brought a covered dish. When the members got up from the table, they wondered whether it would be possible to “stencil trays", but, they succeeded in stenciling seven lovely trays. Another all day meeting was held this week, this being by the Woodville H.D. club. At the club’s business meeting, year books were given out and explained, it was decided to look into the needed indoor recreation equipment for the Woodville school. The club wishes to give something along the line of recreational equip• ment to the school. Another delicious meal was served by the members. Everyone enjoyed it so very much. The meeting ended with the completion of seven lovely travs. * * * Timely Information Always losing your galoshes? Here’s an idea to help you keep track .of them. Carry a clothes* pin with your name printed on it, and when you take your galoshes off, snap them together with the pin. Particularly valuable when you are attending public meetings . . . and for the children going to school. If the* child is too small to read, draw some symbol on the clothespin, such as hearts, stars, etc. # * * Don’t wait until a wool suit is very soiled before having it cleaned, and don’t substitute a pressing for a needed cleaning. Badly soiled garments need drihtic cleaning which is hard, on the/fabric. Much can be done at Rome to keep wool clothes clean. Frequently brushing in the direction of the grain of the cloth helps. Brush inside and out, in and around pockets, and inside cuffs. Airing helps, too. Sponging with cleaning fluid, especially collars, cuffs, and other parts which soil first, is an aid. Aid To Potato Shoppers Rasier potato shopping is in prospect for the housewife, if potato growers and shippers generally adopt the new consumer grading system, now for the first time being used hv several shippers in Maine. Under the new grading a housewife who reads toe label on the hag may he sure of getting smooth, shallow eyed, f'ne quality potatoes, all of about the same size for even evoking, marketing specialists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture say. ■ Already on the market in eastern cities are bags of potatoes marked U. S. Grade A, with the size also indicated on the label. This is a consumer grade established by the U. S. Department of Agricultire, being used for many Maine potatoes coming on eastern markets. The housewife who would know her potatoes before she buys, should look at the top of the hag for the words: U. S. Grade A. If ythe hag says: Medium to large, she will know that the potatoes inside will range in size from 2*2 to 4 inches in diameter. Most of the bags have a mesh window in the front to allow her to see what \these potatoes are like without having to handle them. Other grades are: U. S. Grade A Small, ranging from 1 M> to 214 inches; U. S. Grade A Medium from 2*4 to 3 inches; and U. S. Grade A large from 3 to 4 inches. U. S. Grade B potatoes are divided into the same size groups as Grade A, but Grade B permits a higher percentage of dejects Wholesalers have used the grade, U. S.'No. 1 for mhny years .... yyr,..are labeled ’ this way. Though these are good potatoes generally, U. S. Grade A potatoes must meet a higher standard of quality, size and cleanliness. Some retailers may charge- slightly" more for U. S.' Grade A potatoes, but their uniform quality means' less waste and time spent in preparation and cooking. Paying slightly less for an inferior product rarely is economy. The new grades were developed in response to consumers’ demand for better quality potatoes and an easier, more certain gufde in shopping for these imported vegetables. Retailers report that bins filled wiht potatoes graded under the new system usually are empty at the end of the day in contrast to !bins of potatoes graded under the old system which usually are left with cut,- broken am burned or other potatoes which housewives have picked over and rejected. f"lint Hill Baptist Church »To Adopt 1950 Budget A * ! • - !

The spectator.- were almost a- excited as poor Coach Rink, who loves a tight game like a cat loves a mouse, but he’s as figgety as a hen, on a hot griddle when the scoring ties and stays that way. Tiie gills’ game at Tom’s Brook last Thursday was a walk-over for the Rockets, 33-19. High points were Mary Wharton, 14, Mary Anna Sisk 13; and Thelma Russell, 6. In their game Tuesday night on their home county court Mary Wharton scored 16, Peggy Beahm, 14; Ruby Dwyer, 3; Mary Anna Sisk, 6; and Thelma Russell, 4. Scores in Tuesday’s game fo. the boys were Pete Clater, 7; Chuck Payne, 8; and C. Menefee Jr., 5. Thursday’s boys’ scores were Charles Corder, 9; Pete Corder, 6; C.

Perhaps Manager Gibson Wdiarton just knows how to schedule the proper teams.

Subscription: _ $2.00 a year National So-and-so Week January 12-21 is Idaho Potato and Onion Week. January 1.j-22 is Printing Education week. January 23-29 is National Hot Tea Week. January 29-Februaiy 5 is National Youth Week. Rappahannock -News shall take it as a serious obligaton to keep the citizerys of the county informed as to all such momentous occurrences throughout the ensuing year. Since Idaho Potato and Onion week is rapidly nearing its close, it shall be allowed to depart in peace. The odor of the latter product could be overcome slightly, perhaps, by the perfume of a pun in an editorial entitled “The Leek in the Dyke." National Printing Education Week is incomprehensible. The term “education” should imply an accompaniment of intelligence and everyone knows nothing but an idiot would be in the printing business! Perhaps the purpose of This national acclaim is to educate printers. Now, that would really deserve commendation. National Hot Tea Week begins Monday. If it won't hurt your feelings any, let me sleep through .t. Perhaps it’s a Scot’s inherited abhorrence of a thine so English., but “hot tea" is so closely associated with being ill that it is now ■lassed with oastoi oil. Anyone who wants it may na\e my share. To designate National Youth Week is superfluous Aii 52 of em are youth week. Trie energieof the entire- adult population are expended on youth. In fact, the way it look-, now, this worship of adolescence is running to the point where all the citizens are planning to remain perpetually the wards of their rich Uncle Sammy. January also included Church and Economic Life Week. National Civic Service Week, National Heads I Win, Tails You Lose—> The basketball game at Sp«rryville Friday night is the kind to enjoy. The whole thing is 'Rappahannock. so we can't lose. It*5 like watching twins in • a fight— and you’d better just watch, too. A policeman told the story once of trying to break up a family fight—they pretty near killed him. These two teams will play a fightin' hard game, anil each on* wants to win, but it would be interesting to see the combined teams take on a team from another county. Vanish Worry Let the Old Dominion and all its Miller School educators contemplate the sorry state of Virginia’s lack of history instruction in the schools—in Rappahannock no srch condition exists. Sperryville School News for some weeks has featured a series of famous Virginians. The one this week is pretty obvious but Joseph E. Johnston gave a little trouble last week before he was identified for certain. Then this week the Little Washington Post went out enthusiastically on Lee’s birthday. Rappahannock’s young fry evidently has been well indoctrinated i n sound Virginia history. Perhaps in a few—shall we say minor—instances, all the bert more regular rules of grammar are avoided, but that’s off the point. Particularly worthy of observance is one statement in the article on Robert E. Lee. ”... Federal soldiers which were in command of General Grant.” It could he that such an assertion is more apt than first appears. It is a certainty that some teacher taught well that portion of .Lee’s life spent at Lexington.for the p pil stated he “worked.” Behold the Black Angus! Pro dly d i d Rappahannock News bedeck it* front page with 1:ve.-to<k and apples, only to have the Angus devotees bemoan the fact that the cow was a Holstein, ftey busied themselves about the < ountry<ide and now. take a look, the Black Angus is resplendent.

TREND OF LABOR FORCE V Long-Term Changes in Percentage Distribution of; U.S. Population between Worker and Non-Worker Groups 1 IIIIIIIIVV IN LABOR FORCE Irrrfifi • iiimniimiiRv NOT IN LABOR FORCE tew® SOUtCF Bvrtou ©f Lobor Statistics, Bureau ©f Census PttPArtD BY INSTtTun Of llfl INSURANCf One of the grpat elements of underlying strength in the American economy has been the fact that over the years the labor has grown faster than has the population as a whole, according to an analysis of official government data. It is this expansion in the labor force combined with its increased productivity that have been basic factors in the nation’s remarkable progress and in the steady rise in American living standards. Output per man hour has been increasing at an average rate of about 2 per cent a year for several generations. While the labor force will continue to grow, its size has apparently stabilized in relation to the population as a whole. This introduces a new element in American life of significant <*eonomie implications. The Need for Productivity The labor force includes all those gainfully employed, whether for themselves or working for others. It is therefore the productive part of our society, and the source of the wherewithal to meet everyday living needs and all the other charges placed on the economy. These charges have been rising rapidly. They already represent a heavy burden now,* and their cost will increase greatly in the years to come without a single new addition. With a stabilized labor force, the full responsibility of meeting our expanding obligations is automatically thrown upon increased productivity. People will have to work harder and more efficiently.

On an overall basis, the labor force rose from a total of 22.2 millions in 1890 to an estimated 62.3-millions this year, a rise of 181 per cent. In this period the total population increased from 62.9-millions to 149.2-millions as of July. 1949, a rise of 137 per cent. Thus the figures show that the labor force increased nearly a third more than did the whole population in the last 60 years. Rate of Growth Halted However, if the figures are taken decade by decade since 1890, it is found that the labor force for 1949 showed only the same percentage increase over the 1940 figure as did the population as a whole. Each showed a rise of in per cent, the first time in the last GO years that the population has matched the labor force growth in any decade. It is true that the recent war did bring an. exception, as it brought so many other distortions to the economy in general. Reflecting the nation’s enormous manpower needs, the labor force broke away from the normal trend and reached a record high above 6fi-million in 1945. However, much of this reflected the huge size of the armed forces, and most of the rest an abnormally large number of teen-agers and elderly men and women over fin who entered the labor force. In the last four years, though, the size of the labor force has shrunk about 4-million to a level somewhat above 62-million, or more in line with normal trends. Over the long term, there has been a definite downtrend in the proportion o f youngsters of school age and persons of 65 and over in the labor force. Barring unforseen contingencies, authorities expect these trends to prevail in the future. With respect to “oldsters” of retirement age, their withdrawal from labor force will undoubtedly be accelerated by plans to expand Social Security benefits and the growth of the pension movement in private industry. Forecast for Future As to the future size and rate - of growth of the labor force, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently made this forecast: “In the first half of the 1350’s, when the small generation horn during the mid-1930’s will be entering working age, there will be a sharp slump in labor force growth. The average annual increase of about 400,000 (without immigration) will be' lower, absolutely and percentagewise, than in any comparable period in re■ cent years. “In the late 1950’s the bumper crop of babies born during and immediately after World War II will begin to move into the labor force. Labor force entries will therefore rise, probably reaching their peak in the early 1900’s, when an average annual increase of about 800,000 workers is expected. Even at this level, however, the increments to the labor force will be smaller on a per1 centage basis than durjng the depression decade of the 1930’s. " “After 1965 the rate of laborforce growth is expected to turn downward again, on the assumption of.* defining birth rate in M fj’t* • years ' immediately ahead.” ( Livestock Schools Planned Next Month A series of one-day livestock schools for farmers—-with instruction in feeding, management and marketing of beef cattle, sheep, and hoga— is being held in Virginia this month, George Hering, animal husbandman at V.P.I., announces. 1 Extension Service specialists from V.P.I. who are conducting the lectures include: C. C. Mast, George Litton, D. E. Brower, A. T. Lassiter, and Herring, all animal husbandmen, and P. H. DeHart, and G. R. Mathews, agronomists. ’ ' '■' Schools scheduled for Fe^rirary are: Albemarle, February -Madison, February 3; Culpeper, February 17; Greene, February ^-15; arid Page, February Id. r Outlook for 1950 * A “tight spot” for potato producers .. . . and generally lower prices for all vegetables ... is foreseen for 1950 by Dr. Harry Love, head of tlfe agricultural economes department at V.P.I. Furthermore, the drop in prices received by farmers for vegetables likely will ' be more than the drop in the cost of production. The inefficient, high-cost producer may have a hard time surviving, Dr. Love says. The demand for fresh vegetables is expected to be slightly less than in recent years, as is processors’ demand for green limas, snap beans, sweet corn, pimentos. and spinach. No “substantial” reduction is expected for prices paid to growers by processors for tomatoes, green peas, and cabbage. Demand for potatoes is expected to remain about the same as in 1949. However, high living costs may cause consumers to eat more potatoes. In any case, this likely would be only a temporary interruption rather than a reversal of the long-time downward trend in per capita consumption. Potato production in 1950 is expected to exceed demand at prices equivalent to 60 percent of parity. Sweet potato production in 1950 could increase a little without flooding the market. It is quite probable that some cash crop farmers who have been forced out of other enterprises by acreage allotments will turn to production of sweet potatoes. Price supports are permissible, but not mandatory. They may range from 0 to 90 percent of parity.

TEACHERS GO TO SCHOOL On Wednesday, January 18, the pupils of the schools.of Rappaahnnock county, had betweenterms holiday, while the teachers went to School “pupil-less.” How could they stand it without us underfoot? m Hogs vs. Market For Skim Milk Is skim milk worth more when fed to hog’s than when sold? Di. J. 'L. Maxtort, Extension Service ‘marketing specialist at V.P.I., says this is a question to be decided on each individual farm, but he gives these tips to khelp each farmer decide: When fed to hogs in a dry lot of 100 pounds of skim milk will replace about seven pounds of tankage, and one-fifth bushel of corn. At present prices, 100 pounds of skim milk is worth about 68 cents when fed to hogs. It takes about 3,100 pounds of grain and 2,200 pounds of skim milk to raise a pig to a 250-lb. hog. A dairy cow producing 250 pounds of butterfat will produce abort 6,000 pounds of skim milk. Of this about 1,000 pounds will be fed calves, leaving 5,000 lbs. for hog^—enough to feed 2% hogs. About two pounds of skim milk are needed to balance each pound of grain fed in raising a hog in a dry lot to 250 pounds. If nogs are on good legume pastures, the skim milk or other protein supplement feeds may he cut in half. Often, however, the hogs arid skim milk are not available at the same time. Most farmers buy some protein supplement a part of each year. Farmers w’ho have hogs farrowing twice each year will be able to use the skim mi$k more effectively than farmers whose sows farrow only once;a year. Compare tire Value of skhn milk fed hogs to the price it will bi'ing w’hen sold. The sale mu^t the .the net price to the farmer-*— with delivery and other costs subtracted. What is the answer for your farm? ? Poverty May Fellow | Longer Life People ar» living 1 o n g e^\ thanks .to modern medicine—but in many cases, the ,older they be- ‘ .jeome,;the poorer they get. ,.j - 'The poiiTt is that social and economic advantages do not seem to be keeping up with .the lengtjh■ i ened life, according to conclusions reached recently. The idea was-, brought out py Miss Jane M. JHoey, director of the Bureau of Public Assistance of the Federal Security Administration. She spoke at a» meeting of the American Association for Social Workers, when the evening's topic was, “Planning for ..Amu* jj>gt>pJ# .Society.” . p-. ( Befeauae; social and economic "progress ' ir railing behind the science of lengthening life, many void people are without homes and family ties and cannot get work because they wre regarded as<a threat to younger 'persona in tpe tabor marketf'sh* explained— Record Butterfat Scored By DHIA Cows An all-time record was set in 1349 by Dairy Herd Improvement Association cows in Virginia, R. G. Conne)ly, dairy husbandman for the Extension Service, V.P.I., announces. There were 555 honor roll herds on test in 1949, making an average per cow of 300 lbs. or more butterfat. Of the number, 111 herds averaged over 400 pounds of butterfat per cow. Four hundred pounds of butterfat means “one-fourth ton of the best butter you can get,” Connelly says. Four herds a\eraged between 500 and 600 pounds per cow. Testing period was from December 1, 1948 to November 30, 1949. Amonjfe those farmers whose dairy cattle hit the high mark last year were: C. R. Hope and Sons, Purcellville, with about 45 cows averaging 14,743 pounds of millk, 596.5 of butterfat, D. A. Dillard, Agricola, with 60 cows averaging 10,491 pounds of milk, 539.8 of butterfat. E. A. Farmer and Sons, Gloucester, with 24 cows averaging .10,340 pounds of milk and 512.6 of butterfat, I. B. Wilson, Jefferson, with 14 cows averaging 13,271 pounds of milk, 504.4 of butterfat. State average for 1948 was 4,460 pounds of milk, 190 pounds of 'butterfat per cow. There were 948 herds with 39,339 cows on test in DHIA’s last year in Virginia. Cattle To Be Tested More than 10,000 cows on Virginia farms—dams of calves to be sold through the 1950 feeder calf sales—will be tested for Bang’s disease (Brucellosis! before the fall sale series begins, says M. L. Dalton, associate animal husbandman at V.P.I. The decision was made at meetings in Culpeper and Marion of farm agents from about 40 counties which produce calves for the feeder calf sales. Dalton explains that the testing program will help make the calves eligible for interstate shipment, and is being done in co-operation with the state-wide brucellosis-eradication campaign. Testing will ' be done by ,the State Department of Agriculture.Early Dehorninp Advised Dehorn calves when they’re young! * That’s th^ advice of Curtis Mast, associate animal husbandman Jht V.P.I., who lists three reasons for early dehorning: it’s easier to do; it’s better for the calves; and it makes for better quality calves. Mast says there are three satisfactory methods of dehorning— with dehorning tubes, dehorning paste, or the Barnes dehorner. Or you can breed horns out by using polled bulls as sires. County agents can give detailed instructions. Survey Shows Storage Lack; High Corn Yield Only about 12 per cent of the total storage capacity for corn on Virginia farms is considered rat-proof, as shown by a recentlv^eompleted survey of about one in every SO farms in the state. Fiona other sources comes the estimate that lack of rat-proof storage means the loss of several hundred pounds of grain, on the average farm, each year. I>r. Boyd Harshbarger, statistician for the Virginia Experiment Station, reporting on the survey, said that farm storage facilities for ear corn are available for more than 41,000,000 bushels in wooden-frame buildings; but storage in metal buildings is available for only slightly more than 2,000,000 bushels' Other types of available farm storage, including concrete and cinder block, have a capacity for about 1,700,000 bushels. Total capacity of all commercial (off-farm) storages in Virginia • is about 6,600,0.00 bushel®, with 5,500,000 bushels for hulk grain, and 1.100.000 bushels for sacked grain. I ■ The survey W’as conducted with funds from the Production and Marketing Admipistration under the Research and Marketing Act of 1946, the Experiment Station, and the Division of Markets of the Virginia Department of Agriculture. Participating in the survey was the Vii'ginia Co-operative Crop Reporting Service. The surveyors also were seeking information on production methods of corn and small g.alns, amoant of these grains axailahl,. for sale, farm and commercial storage facilities, and u®e of hvbride corn seed. .• Here are some of the things they discovered; The average' yield of corn as computed- from tne survey data was 55 bushels per acre. Average yields ranged from 63 bushels in western Virginia to 40 in south ern Virginia. These coin yields are an indication of the gross yield per acre at' the time the survey was made (September and October). Any losses which occurred from that time until corn was put in the crib, including harvesting losses, would not be reflected in the calculated yields. Another survey will be made this month td determine the extent of the losses. » Seventeen per cent—or 8,250.000 bishels—of the 1048 corn crop, went to market. Quantity for sale varied in different parts of the state. Counties in eastern and southeastern districts reported more corn for sale. Two-thirds of the total corn acreage was planted witlf* hybrid seed in 1949—varying widely lyetween different sections of the state. Most acreage ih northern and eastern counties is planted with hybrids. Slightly more than 30 per cent of the sampled farms used barnyard manure, and on these farms an average of 2.00 tons of manure per acre was used on corn. Manure was used most extensively in northern counties. Commercial fertilizer was used on 84 per cent of the farms, but the amount used per acre varied. One per cent, of the farms us’d from one to 99 pounds per acre; eight per cent from 100' to 199 pounds; 4.1 per cent from 200 to 399; and 30 per cent used 400 pound"■ 'v ore no acre. Sixteen per cent used no commercial fertilizer. „ Dr. Hdrshbarger explained that the information from the survey is expected to be of much value in making recommendations to farmers, and in planning future agricultural programs. • The report was given at a meeting of Extension Rio vice and Experiment Station agronomi-ts, in session this week at VP.I. t<> review anil make varietal and other recommendations for 1910 crops in Virginia.

Picture of a bunch ofBLOATED STOCKHOLDERS Could It Be You? You couldn’t get a Communist newspaper to publish this story for all the money in the county. Communists still lake good care to paint a “stockholder” as an overstuffed playboy with twenty servants and a double chin who loves to squeeze “The common people.” Now and then some of the rest of us, too, are apt to forget the facts of what America is really like . . . not in 1890 or 1920 . . . but today. In 1950 America's business is largely owned by millions of small shareholders and investors. Big business like Telephone, Steel, Pennsylvania Railroad, General Electric, Santa Fe. Middle size and little business, too . . . down to the small store or the filling station. It’s only logical that this should be so. The few really huge fortunes are being swiftly taxed away into trusts, charities and foundations. But ordinary folks are earning more money than ever before—enough to give them a surplus for investment which adds up to many thousands of millions of dollars. It is to these ordinary people, these millions of ‘‘little capitalists”—farmers, salesmen, teachers, electricians, welders, storekeepers, doctors, mechanics, white collar folks, and housewives —that business turns today for its needed new capital—not to the vanished plutocrat of an earlier day. And every man and woman who bwns any stock, bonds or life insurance policies has a share in American business and the right to expect a share in - its earnings. ; . ' “Earnings,” of course, means “profits,” and that’s what really makes the Communists scream; Because—as these facts make plain—the spread of business ownership in the U.S.A. is making American business increasingly the property of its workers and its customers . . . more and more management is just people hired to do a job for the stockholders—-and paid only as long as they do it. What particularly irritates the Commies is that this uniquely American “spread the profits” idea is practically an unlickable system that can be beaten only by countless millions in false propaganda—or (as they hope) by sheer American stupidity. The worker who has put his savings into life insurance to protect his family and educate his children is apt to think twice before he endangers the profits of U. S. business in which his insurance funds are invested. If the worker is also a customer, then he has a triple stake in business “profits”—for only a healthy, earning business can spend the large sums on plant and research needed to keep turning out an improved product at lower cost, whether that product is television, a new “wonder drug,” a better train ride or a motor car. So the next time you hear some well-meaning but misguided person remarking that “stockholders” are not as important as they used to be, we respectfully suggest that you call these facts to his attention.

HAZEL CORBIN Editor-in-Chief.GLADYS REID Assistant Editor.PHYLISS HUDSON Sports Editor.JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor . . . ..HELEN NETHERS Robert E. Lee Robert E. Lee was born in Born in Westmoreland county, January l'J, 1807. He was the .-on of General Henry Lee. - As a boy, Lee went to school in Alexandra. Like Eisenhower and Pershing, he graduated from West Point. Following his graduation ne v married Mary Custis. As engineer for .the United States Army, he did important work at St. Loris and Hampton Roads. While fighting in the war with Mexico, he won marked distinction. At this time the Southern States were ‘ planning to secede- from the 'Union. Virginia decided to join this group of states which were known as the Confederate States of America. Lee was appointed commander of tiie Southern Forces. His men fought hard but were out - numbered by the Federal soldiers which were in command of General tli ant. From the spring of 18(14 till the spring of 1865, he fought to save Richmond, the capital of the Confederate States. His supplies running low, and almost surrounded by the Federal Army, he was forced to surrender. The treaty of peace was signed in the Appamattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Lee had lost the war but he still had courage. For five years he worked and lived in Lexington, Virgin la: Lee died in 18 70. Lexington, the town in which he is buried, is visited by thousands of people each year.—Loring Anderson. Character Character, the basis of a person's being able to get through life, should be the greatest interest of everyone. Robert E. Lee, one of the most notable men of Virginia, won his reputation for his outstanding character. He had courage without l>eing boastful. Mlfny of us today who have or show courage are always boastful of it. Very often we see two hoys boasting about tneir strength or saying that they are not afraid to do something that sounds manly. It’s nice to have courage hut why not keep it to ourselves as Robert E. Lee did. Today is Robert E. Lee's birthday and it would also be, a good day to -tart developing our character into the same kind of character Robert E. Iwe showed forth. Once in a while one of us will find that we think too much ■of ourselves without meaning to. Robert E. Lee had dignity without being lazy. Maybe it is too much to be expected to live the kind of life Robert E. Lee lived or to have the kind of character he had hut it’s not too much to expect of ourselves to try to build our character to that standard. Due to his character the South had absolute trust in him. They No News Is Good News If this is so, we’re just swimming around in good news. My search on .Friday usually goes like'this: Me: “Hey, Rosie Mae, how about w riting-some class news for Monday?” Rosue Mae: “News? Well, .it's like this. . . We' haven’t. . A I don’t. ..■ . •» - .. Me: “That’s O.L Y'pu , can write, some next,,week.” \ ' Before f c«n turn around, I hear: :: ''"1 :• “I'm awfully sorry, hut there jr st isn’t any Alumni News." I hopefully, stroll n. little further : : , kf' “*■■■'•$ " ■ Met “Hey. Jo!’* * Jor (reading- my mind) “Yes, 'I’ll have it by Monday.’’ - , People are ‘beginning to look at me strangely as I constantly mutter, “News-NewaL” I’d be in Paradise if only this Were the tune: “Hey, Gladys, here’s an article for the paper. Hope it isn’t too long.” “May I write the edtorial next week?” “Here’s a hint for a new column. How about --?’’ All fooling aside, I’d like to thank all the reporters^or their good i work, 'But don’t be a bit surprised if I suddenly skip my trolley and start chasing around the school scalping everybody in sight with my trusty little tomahawk, wahoorng, “Gotta have news— more news—” Ym-m-m, that isn’t such a bad idea. Bet I’d make headlines. . . Where’s my tomahawk? Odds and Ends " Jimmy G’s favorite class is Senior English.

Pig Contest Shows Progress Three years ago a group of F.F.A. students and their instruct tor, Gene Wagner, got together to discuss the possibility of organizing a Purebred Pig club in Rappahannock coa nty. Our chapter was not too strong at that time and we could get together only §25,. enough to buy one good, registered pig. After discus-ing our plans with several leading farmers who were interested in our young future farmers, our problems were solved. Three of these men immediately donated enough money to purchase another good pig. We proceeded GY purchase two young gifts from C. S. Patterson, the o tstanding Berkshire breeder in Virginia. Tiiese were given to Gordon Thornhill and David Wright as a start. In return, they each gave back to our chapter two registered .pigs, which of 'course were again given out to other worthy F.F.A. boys. With thfs start of two pigs our club membership has grown to 15. These future farmers have sold to other boys and farmers in this county a total of 18 registered pigs. We feel that this is, at Jeast, a start toward introducing new and better blood-lines into the swine of our county. Dolmont Farms, owned by W. B. Dolph, deserves a great deal of credit 'for furnidhirtg ithe hierd boars, so necessary to keep the club moving. “Youi can be assured, Mr. Dolph, that these young future farmers are- indeed grateful to you and to your farm manager, C. C. Zinn, for the splendid co-operation you have shown our F.F.A. organization.” Humor In Verse Catherine had a little car She drove in manner deft.

Wage Earner’s Paycheck A clear account of how much of the wage earner’s paycheck i« now going to federal government was 'given Tuesday in a radio broadcast by William J. Bird, naj tional affairs advisor, Chamber of Commerce of United States. Speaking over WCVA, under sponsorship of Culpeper Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bird said that wages to the average American citizen is a very important item. He said it was the desire to make ends meet that was the drivng force for the American family under the system of free enterprise. The broadcast was the third in a series of eight being presented local radio audiences by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in the interest of better government through better citizenship. “Our government lives only on taxes,” Mr. Bird said. “It has no other way to get this money that it is spending on all these socalled ‘benefits’. Our government doesn’t produce anything, it does not earn money, it only collects money from the people and then disburses that money—minus a fat handling fee. “We, the people, earn the money. The government gets it from us by taxing. Then it goes to Washington, into the Treasury pool, and is finally handed hack to us as services, projects, and benefits. But of course, we never get back all that we pay in, because a huge amount of that money is retained to pay the of fice holders required to administer these handouts to the people,” lie explained. Bird said the worker today in America is working one day out of every four for government. He said only the first 30 hours out of every 40-hour work week is the worker actually working for himself and family, the rest of that time he is workng for Iris government. .Mi. Bird asked the questions, ‘‘•lust how much more of your paycheck can you afford to earmark for taxes? Just how m ch more of youi regular wages can you afford to give up, and still provide for y o u r family the necessary housing, food, medical care, entertainment, and other essentials tiiat have made living in America so desirable? “I heard one of these planner*?, one of these something-fornothing advocates say the other day that they simply aren't going to stop spending our money for benefits dreamed up in Washington. And he inferred that we can expect more taxes to support these so-called ‘free-benefitsV. Bird urged local citizens to sit down and calmly decide just how much more money they can afford- to give up for politically popular handouts. Then he warned that if citizens continue to accept government handouts, their paycheck is in danger. “If we accept these handouts for education, medical care, housing, food, and all the other necessities of life, then we must also he prepared to pay even more taxes, because it will still be our money that must pay for all these services. But let’s not forget that when that time comes there won’t be enough of the weekly paycheck left for us to manage otir-elve-." Setting forth a program for curtailing government expemlit res. Bird said that Americans rau-t make up their minds whether they are going to destroy the traditional American character of self-reliance, and destroy the promise that every man has the right, and is supposed to make his own way in a world of opportunity. . He tailed for citizens to reaffirm their/aith in America ami to stop asking Washington to do everything that they can do for themselves. He urged them to work as a team to preserve the' things that give the American citizen opportunity in life. a An analysis of even the tiniest drop of your prescribed medicine would serre^tdrskow that it contained every prescribed ingredient in precisely those proportions specified by your doctor.
