VOL. 1—NO. 19 State Trooper Buntin Makes Quick Arrest A Ford pick-up, property of James W. Fletcher of Sperryville, was recovered by Trooper William A. Bu ntin at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning near the Merrill residence in Washington. The driver of the truck gave his name ac Lanny Lavon Brown of Fort Wayne State School, Indiana. It is suspected that this same Brown, who was caught driving the Fletcher pick-up, may be the one who wrecked a Chevrolet truck, belonging to H. B. Wood of Woodville, around 3 o’clock in the morning; Wednesday. The Wood truck was crashed head-on into the side of a culvert near the home of Miss Annie Stephenson at Woodville. Brown does not acknowledge having wrecked the Wood truck. . According to reports, Brown stopped at the Lee Highway hotel Tuesday evening about 7 o’clock and inquired of Mrs. Della Howard about finding a place to spend the night. She carried on her conversation with the man through the closed screen door of the hotel and noticed that he carried a package wrapped in a sack which bad the appearance of the shape of a gun. He stated that he was from Maine, but that his birth place was in Rappahannock county, having lived here 18 years ago. His father, so he claimed, was. Nat Brown, formerly employed at Sperryville. He said the purpose, of his visit to the county was to obtain his birth certificate. Brown was directed to Edward Estes’ store to inquire about finding a suitable tourist home to spend the night. Instead, he stopped at the Sandwich Shop after leaving the hotel, and informed a man there that he had a gun in the sack which he was carrying in his hand. '( Brown was next reported seen at E. M. Schwartz's store where he bought a soft drink and tried to sell a rifle to Ed Woodard, clerk in the store, for the sum of $5. It is reported that Brown said he had only a small amount of money with him, fi.25, and was in need of more money for he was on his way to Richmond to secure his birth certificate in order to join the army. Mrs. Virginia Lewis stated that av man answering Brown’s description stopped at her home Tuesday night and that she saw him again the next morning at 5 o’clock, the hour when Mr. Fletcher’s truck was stolen. The Fletcher truck was parked in the ya.d of Mr*. Lewis’s home, having been driven there the evening before by Buck Lewis. The household was aroused by the starting of the truck. Mr. Lewis wanted to run out in the yard after the thief, but Mrs. Lewis reminded him that he had no gvn and possibly the thief did. After notifying Trooper Buntin of the direction in which the truck was headed, Mr. Lewis and David Anderson secured another truck and followed the Fletcher pick-up until it was stopped by Trooper Buntin near the L. V. Merrill residence in Washington. Brown was japprehended and taken to jail. A 32 pistol and a 22 rifle were found in the truck. The ltfe-ton heavy duty Chevrolet truck belonging to Henry Wood was discovered around 3 o'clock Wednesday morning jammed into the culvert near the home of Miss Annie Stephenson. The front end of the truck was badly damaged with radiator, grill, bumper, and right front, fender smashed. No damage was done to the Fletcher truck. *Cavalierr Visits Here —Oh! he blew into town with sounds eerie and shivery, The bold * Cavalier in the red-and-gold livery!—*. Don’t be alarmed S' All that noise re-echoing through the hills, was partially a loud-speaker system on a truck and partially the costume rigged up on the "Cavalier," representing the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.’s “n e w extremely mild, King-size cigarette.” He generously passed but the sample boxes. The ‘‘Cavalier’^’ cigarettes will be smoked, no doubt, but he should be more careful in making sudden appearances. One innocent maiden-lady of Washington was seated serenely in' a quiet eqrner when that scarlet apparition loomed suddenly around the corner! He ought*’ he sned for frightening women! Trial Justice Cases The following cases were heard in the court ’of Trial Justice B. M. Miller: , Commonwealth versus J. E. Bourne: was convicted of drunken driving, at court Saturday morning, fined $100 and costs and his driver’s permit revoked for a period of 12 months. Sheriff J. M. Lillard was the arresting officer.

The case was appealed. Sheriff J. M. Lillard was the arresting offioer. Owns Unusual Animals V. H. Keeler of Washington is the owner of something very unique in the way of pets. According to Mr. Keeler, these rare hamsters make ideal pets. A hamster is a small mammal, red-brown in color, and weighs about six ounces when grown. Hamsters were found in Syria about 20 years ago. They were discovered burrowed about eight feet underground. The first one located was a mother with 12 young. One remarkable item of information given on hamsters is that one pair will have over 1,000 progeny in a single year. The little animals have mouselike heads, stubby tails, and play like squirrels in their cages. If a piece of food is offered which they do not like, they \4etreat immediately to a corner of the cage and wash themselves very much as a cat would do. They bury food for future reference in the manner of a dog. Mr. Keeler didn’t say what hours were most suitable for inspection, but as soon as possible most of us with good healthy curiosity are going to see those things. Two Fire Alarms Answered Last Week The Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company was called out on Friday at 2 p.m. to the farm of Joe W. Keyser in Harris Hollow, to extinguish a broom sedge fire which had gotten out of control, the fire was brought under control before it spread to the buildings on the farm. Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m., the fire company was called -to the residence of a colored family by the name of Phillips at Amissville, to extinguish a brush fire which was thought to have started from a cigarette which Borne one passing by carelessly threw over into the field. No damage resulted. Flint Hill P.-T. A.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning: at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:_$2.00 a year What Manner of Man To have better schools is ostensibly the desire of our Rappahannock citizenry. To have better schools is going to tax our citizenTy, •which must decide if it is •willing to pay the price. By paying, we do not mean necessarily the payment of money. Other considerations are more important; for gold cannot ever compensate for flagrant deficiencies in the thinking of our adult citizens about the ^tal question of educating our future citizens. Any thinking that is colored by petty jealousies of the various localities can produce no possible benefit towards a solution of the problem. A public school meeting demonstrates, most dramatically that this is the special brand of thinking shared by many in our county. Intelligent, experienced, outside viewpoints have assured us that no school in the county is adequate to meet the best needs of a high school. Any arrangement along this line, therefore, must be viewed as a temporary one. But in order to offer a better program now instead of sacrificing our present high school pupils until the best solution can be worked out for future high school pupils, can we not be big enough and unselfish enough to support any plan that would offer the greatest benefit to the greatest number at the least possible cost? Any other considerations seem to be fairly insignificant at the present time. It would seem that the establishment of the best high school site, under existing conditions of inadequate funds and/or educational advantages, should be divorced from the opinion that Washington automatically must be the place, because of its sacred position as the county seat. If Washington is best from an unbiased standpoint, then Washing ton it should be; but no more so than any othar town, by the same token. If Washington be found best suited for an effective elementary unit, then purely this would lend more prestige than a high school luivit put there to hallow tradition instead of to offer the greatest possible school improvement for everyone! Any discussion of “My child wants this’ or “I won’t be for anything that means inconvenience for me" should be eliminated from our thinking; for this is selfish and unworthy of wasting time in further consideration. We are taxpayers, and therefore cannot escape the money angle if we would. And so, what taxpayer, in what district, would be willing to support an educational system based on instructions from a group whose prime concern is their own selfish interests? If so, what manner of man is he? If so, may a kind Providence decree that he be among the minority! A. K. M. •••HNHNMUHHHIMHNUHHHHMHNMIWWIHHtIHIHNMNM | *The Time Hoe Come * \ | tU Walrua •aid ... HIIIMHMIMI “ 'The time has come,’ the Walrus said, “To talk of many things, Of shoes and ships, and sealingwax, And cabbages and kings, And why the sea is boiling hot, And whether pigs have wings.” This is the verse from which comes the title of the col-yum of chit-chat. The col-yum is just as the verse reads — nonsense, apropos of nothing, merely idle conversation. At the time in “Alice Through the Looking-Class” w^en the Walrus and the Carpenter took their little walk along the sands of the seashore, the verse arrived in the poem at a crucial time for the oysters. Unlike the poemstory, the idle talk of this column has no gruesome future plan of devouring invited guests. The poem states that after the Walrus and Carpenter had invited the oysters to join them for the stroll, the oysters were informed that they were to compose the main bill of fare. Never at any time, please, can this “Walrus” be guilty of even thinking of such a thing! This little bit of space is “To talk of many things . . . "with no malice aforethought—nor ahindthought. * * # Last Sunday we thought spring TRUSTEE’S SALE —OF— Three Houses And Lots On Lee Highway, between Washington and Sperryville, known as The Ramey Property ON THE PREMISES Saturday, March 11 I 2:00 P. M. In execution of a deed of trust dated June 27th, 1049, from Mahlon and Ora Ramey, grantors, recorded in the Clerk’s Office of* the Circuit Court of Rappahannock County in Deed Book 52 at page 174, the undersigned trustee in said deed of trust will offer for sale at public auction the following described real estate in three tracts: * Tract I.—Eleven-room, two-story house with full basement, about six acres of land, several hundred feet frontage on highway; Tract II.—Five-room bungalow with all modern conveniences and two acres of land; * Tract III.—Old Toll Gate House—tideal for conversion into Tea Room or Antique Shop; one acse of land, more or less.

Reference to said deed is hereby made for a more complete description of said real estate. Terms of sale: CASH—but reasonable time will be allowed purchasers to arrange loans, if desired. R. V. Snead Trustee had sprung, and 'most of us were beginning to think that now we could use “springfe'er’’ as the excuse for all our laziness. By Tuesday my friends wished me a Merry Christmas along with all the snow, -and then it’s back to rainy weather. It has been a firm conviction of mine for many a year that a rainy day was meant for one thing only—a good book accompanied by a good fire and the knowledge that there weren’t a thousand and one things that you should be doing. * * * The latest contribution to the county’s cultural development is in the music category. Down at Gip Wharton’s there’s a new record on the juke-box. It is not a Braillowsky’s Chopin Waltz. The title is “I Won’t Go Huntin’ With You, Jake.” * * * This poem, "Eloise,” is printed by request. The copy did not include the name ef the poet—and he certainly should have credit (or blame, according to opinion) where it is due. Eloiae We were sitting by the river, Eloise, Where the waters dance and quiver in the breeze; Overhead the birds were winging And their songs were sweetly singing Till their melody was ringing Through the trees. And as we sat there chumming, Eloise, While we listened to the humming of the bees, You said when I made money As the little bees made honey, I should be your solid sonny. O! You tease! As we sat beneath the willows, Eloise, - . Busoms heaving like the billows of the seas, Oh, how sweet was the reflection That by prudent circumspection I was winning your affection By degrees. All at once a sound went ringing trough the trees, Seemed to shatter e’en the sighing of the breeze! And the voice that erstwhile charmed me .Now with pitying dread alarmed me. Till the very blood that warmed me Seemed to freeze! What a chill of fear went o’er me, Eloise, As you threw yourself before me on your knees, And you said a bug that harm meant Was between your back and garment, And you begged the dreaded varmint I would seize 1 But my modesty was riven, „ Eloise! My blushes ran up 70 degrees! Then you called me craven coward ; Vile epithets u^c»n me showered; And alone left me embowered ’Neath the trees. In the same old place I'm sitting, Eloise, And the same old birds are flitting through the trees, In the same old way they’re winging And the same old songs are singing ’Till the melody is ringing On the breeze. In years I have grown older, Eloise, I certainly have grown bolder, by degrees, And now, if I’d occasion, I would stop that bug’s ‘invasion Without a moment’s hesitation, Eloise. PLANT CERTIFIED LADINO SEED Do You Wait To Cat Your Fodtral Taxes? RoadToThe Poorhouse America’s moat popular toy this year is called the “crasher truck.” It is a mechanical gadget which falls apart when it hits anything. Faced with expenses that may hit $52 billion dollars during 1950, our government could fall apart like the crasher truck unless you, as a citizen, apply the brake. t __ Three years ago, Congress created a bi-partisan, twelve-man Commission to study the waste and duplication of effort in the agencies and bureaus in the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This Commission, approved by President Truman and headed by former President Hoover, has turned in a report which would cut our tax bill three to four billion dollars annually—if the recommendations are enacted into law. This means that it would save you one dollars out of every ten you pay in taxes. Whether you realise it or not, every .family in the United States pays yearly, on the average, in direct and hidden taxes, mors than 11,000.00 each to support the Federal Government alone. Congress has already authorised $15,000,000,000 for construction of major projects, and another $30,000,000,000 authorisation is planned. The Commission has recommended, (1) Creation of an impartial Board of Analysis for engineering and architectural projects, (2) Long-range planning of projects to meet the ebb and flow of economic cycles, and (3) Coordination of all public works. Such prudence might well save the nation from collapse, t'lf you think this march down the road to the poorhouse should be halted, wire your Congressman. Write to the Citizens Committee for Reorganization of the Executive Branch of the Government, 1421 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia 2, Pennslyvania, for further information. Tell your friends and neighbors! You must act before it is too late! Soil Saver Notes Numerous Culpeper "hnd Rappahannoek county farmers will be seeding new pastures this month and will be taking part in the Pasture Parade.

PHYLISS HUDSON Sports Editor.JO ELLEN WORTH Gossip Editor.HELEN NETHERS Our Paper Several years ago the pupils of Washington High School became interested in publishing a school paper. The F.F.A. boys, who were its first publishers, racked their brains for a suitable name for the paper. To make the selection democratic, a box was put up and any pupil could submit the name of his preference by merely droping it into this box. The names were then taken ovt and voted on by the pupils of W.H.S. Thus, by pupils from the town of Washington and from all over Rappahannock county the name was selected. ' The name, “Little WashingtonPost,” was chosen by a large majority, for many pupils read, either in the school library or at their' homes, the paper published in Washington, D. C., “The Washington Post,” and the name “Little Washington Post” seemed to put before them a worthy publishing aim. For the last few years the Student Council aided by numerous pupils has supervised our school paper. When told at the beginning of the session by our principal that the publisher of Rappahannock News would allot to us, each week, space for our school paper, an assembly was called immediately and an editor and assistant editor were elected by the stu RICH GABARDINE GETS RICHER! “BOTANY" • RAND 500 Tailored by DAROFF “Botany” Brand Gabardina avan aoftar, ailkiar, more luxurious, and mora irresistibla than you'va known it!

Tournament Ends Monday, March 6, was a day of tension. -Yes, thal was the day for the finals of the intra-mural tournament. Who would win? Juniors or Seniors? Why, it’s simple! They split! The senior girls fought hard to keep their lead with the Juniors. The game ended; Seniors 27; Juniors 17. Gladys Reid, captain of the winning team, proudly received the trophy for the seniors. The boys’ game was rough and tough, from the very beginning. It was man to man through to the finish. First one team would score arid then the other would tie it up—back and forth. But the Juniors got an extra spurt of energy and came out victorious, 29-24. Now we’re looking forward to the spring season with baseball and softball. Do You Know? What are “shooting stars”? Shooting or falling stars are not- stars at all, but meteorites which are comparatively small masses of rock or iron flying abovt in space. The popular names date back to times when people thought they were actually “little stars” that shot from their fixed places. Why does a red schoolhouse symbolize education? Although most wooden schoolhouses in the United States are now white, it was customary, especially in New* England and other northeastern sections, to paint frame sehoolhouses red, not because that color was preferred bit because red paint was cheaper than any other kind obtainable.— “A Book About 1,000 Things.” Gossip George and Bonnie are the latest couple at W.H.S.

After scribbling these words and slinging down my pen, I’ll head for the nearest exit. It seems that a certain class jbad * visitor last week; and since unexpected visitors are always welcome, she was received with open arms by the alert teacher and grave pupils. Delicious (that is, if you called popped poprolls delicious) were on the menu. Upon the pupil chef’s quiet summons, “Come and get it,” all obediently and quickly grabbed the nearest chair and orderly marched to the table. Everything was going as scheduled — even Emily Post and her et-i-kette would have smiled approval. Suddenly one meek little soul who could no longer - stand the suspense whispered to the person at the other end of the table, “Shoot me the bitter!” And, of course, an order is an order, and not wishing to put her life in jeopardy, she replied by “shooting the butter.” Here’s where the story begins to get good—but here’s also where I begin ducking. Any similarity between the Home Ec Room and the morgue is purely coincidental. Ouch! Where’s that exit? Soil Conservation Meeting In Lynchburg The first annual meeting of the Virginia Chapter, Soil Conservation Society of America, will be held in Lynchburg, March 18, T. W. Edminster, soil conservation researcher at Virginia Experiment Station, and program chai.man, announces. The address of welcome will be given at 10:30 a.m. by the chapter president, H. M. Collins, Chase City, district conservationist for the Southside Soil Conservation District. T. S. Buie, Spartanburg, S. C., past president of the national society, and regional director of the southeastern region of the Soil Conservation Service, will give the principal morning address on “The Society and You.” An address by Forest Steele, soil scientist at Farmville, on “The National Meeting—A Builder of Morale,” will conclude the morning session. The keynote speaker, scheduled to appear at the luncheon session, will be announced later. The meeting will adjourn after a business meeting and election of officers. Commenting on the organization of th Virginia chapter, Edminster says such a professional society gives opportunity to “acquaint the entire membership with developments in their particular field . . . the fact that soil conservation is a recognized science embracing agronomy, engineering, soils, biology, forestry . . makes it important that these specialists have a common meeting ground and a place to develop a common approach to their problems.” He pointed out that ‘in recognition of its interest in the advancement of science, the Soil Conservation Society has been admitted as an associated society of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.” Section officers are: Collins, chairman; Francis Carr, Appomattox, vice-chairman; Dabney Williamson, Rocky Mount, secretary-treasurer; T. C. Green, assistant st^te co reservation ist, Blacksurg, and Edminster, councilmen. Collins and Carr, both district conservationists, also serve on the arrangements committee; Green, Wil’iamson, and Edminster on the program committee. New Forms of Familiar Foods Now On Market New forms of familiar foods— that’s the story in today's food processing world. Roy E. Moser, Jr., Extension Service food processor at VPI, gr'es this report of what’s new for the taste-conscious consumer: Frozen concentrated ©range juice has been made by a process that keeps intact fresh fruit flavor and nutritive qualities to a better degree than heretofore possible. Using the same process, packers are now offering in a frozen concentrated form, grapefruit juice, orange-grapefruit blend, cranberry juice, and grape juice. Apple juice has been processed experimentally in this manner. Ascorbic acid now is being added to apple juice. Not only does it increase the vitamin C content, but it enhances keeping qualities and retains original flavor and color to a better degree than usual methods. .* Several juice blends have been tried in experimental packs. Included are blends of apple and cherry juices. Fountain syrups are being developed which will ha 'e the fresh fruit flavbr. They are prepared by concentrating the juice of the fruit and adding homogenized fruit pulp with the desired amount of sugar. Apple and pear syrups are on this success list. Fruit essences are being prepared for use as flavoring. They are concentrated solutions of the volatile materials that give fruit its flavor. At VPI, the essence of horseradish haa been prepared in th« laboratory—and it U hoped that the essence will make it possible to maintain the otherwise easily-lost flavor. “Cremogenized”' corn is relatively new. The corn is cut from the cob, washed, and a part of the kernels homogenized and added to the whole kernels to give a uniform high quality product. Several companies in Virginia now are offeiing canned baked apples. One company is marketing a canned fried apple.

Re' searchers hold out hope that their efforts will bring still more control measures, and possibly cure. Questions Homemakers Are Asking Q—Thete are .too many doors and,windows, and too little space for furniture in my home. What can I do? A—Perhaps an unused door can be locked permanently, or aplywood panel can be put over the door before papering is done. The space on the living room side may be used for book shelves. Other space giving tricks . . . pull the sofa out by the fire place, or remove doors you seldom close. Q—What can 1 do with windows that are too high and narrow? A—Hang curtains partly outside the frame. Treat a group of windows as one with a cornice to correct faulty design. Or hang cuftains over the wall to the floor. Q—I can’t arrange the mantel effectively because of the side light fixture. A—Have the fixtures removed before you repaint or paper, and fill the hole with patching plaster. , , Q—How shall I curtain the short window over bookshelves? A—Why not blot it out with wallboard and build bookshelves over it to the ceiling? Shutters can be used on the outside of the house. Or, if you prefer keeping the windows, don’t curtain them at all. Try putting glass shelves in them for plants. Curtain* And Draperies Choose curtains nad draperies to harmonise with other furnishings in the home. Since they look their best when made to hang spft, full folds, select curtains and draperies of ample width. Curtains should measure at least twice the width of the rod; that is, a single panel should be again the width of the rod. Each curtain in a pair should measure the width of the rod so that when shirred in place half the rod will be taken by each one. Curtains look best when hung floor or window sill length or when they cover the apron (which is the w’ood work just under the sill). Narrow windows are given a wider look when curtains are sill or apron length. Floor length, curtains help make a short, wide window look longer. * Most curtains are made ‘of FOR TOPS IN BREAD It’s Royal Softwist bread At Your Grocery Call for Softwist By Name -•Royal Baking Company Front Royal BACK ON THE AIR!

Kites Are Dangerous Near High Tension Wires -is Kite flying season will soon be ileie. local power company ofl.cu.is tins week warned kite ent. u lasts to practice then sport in open fields, well away from ii-h-u tension lines. “Every year there are several aciidents as a result of metal strings or kite braces coming in contact with power lines," the spokesman for the utility company said. “These mishaps are entirely avoidable if proper precautions are taken.” As stated on the safety posters now being distributed to schools in tnis area by the Northern Virginia Power Company, the rules to follow while flying kites are: Keep kities away from electric wires; use dry cotton string only; never use metal on kites; and never climb poles. The utility company spokesman also warned local residents against flying model airplanes in the vicinity of power lines. These small craft, with their metal control strings, make a hazardous sport if operated near electricitycarrying lines. In addition to personal safety, the company spoke-man stated that careless use of kites, ami pianos, should they tangle with power lines, could mean disruption of electric service to hospitals, factories, and home-. Forest Fires Cause Much Damage In Virginia During 1941), 1601 forest fires burned 12,13:? acres in Virginia, a loss of .09 per cent of the 13,014,661 acres of forest land protected by the Virginia Forest Service. Burn only after 4 p.m.—D. ring the period commencing March 1st and ending May 15, Virginia law prohibits setting fire to any inflammable material capable of spreading fire, located within 300 feet of any woodland, except between the hours of four o’clock in the afternoon and midnight. More than 80 per cent of the forest fires burning each year in Virginia occur during the dry, •windy days of March and April, according to the Virginia Forest Service. Careless smokers, failing to extinguish matches, cigarette stubs or pipe ashes before discarding, caused 496 forest fires in Virginia during 1943. Forest fires are the greatest enemy of Virgnia’s 15 million acres of forest land, and to the welfare of more than 50,000 persons employed in the State’s 3000 plants using wood as a raw material. It Lumber production in Virginia, has averaged one billion board feet annually for the past 48 years. 1,306 million board feet of lumber was manufactured in Virginia during 1948, which is sufficient to build 87,000 five-room houses. Virginia has 30 recognised "tree farmers” who are producing-timber crops on 186,764 acres. During 1949 lightning was the only “natural" cause of forest fires in Virginia and was responsible for 12 fires, less than 1 per cent of the State’s 1601 fires. Ma , through carelessness in smoking, debris burning, railroading, campfires and other ac-< tivities caused 1589 firse, or 99 per cent of the total. ? 1,306,509 cords of pulpwood were cut in Virginia during 1948. If these cords were placed end to end they would extend 1554 miles or from Richmond to Chicago, and return. Forest fire violators and persons carelessly allowing the escape of fir^ to Virginias forest lands were aktsessed $10,113.91 by the courts of the State during 1949. Persons carelessly allowing the escape of fire from brush, grass an.i debris burning operations d ring 1949 were responsible for 363 forest fires in Virginia'during 1949. Reseeding Old Pastures Advised By Agronomists If your pasture has less than ■">0 per cent coverage with desirable grasses and legumes — reseed it. That’s the advice of Extension Service agronomists at VPI, who say the proper use of lime, liberal use of feitilizer, and te-seedirfg will quickly 'bring back a run-down pasture. Their tips for reseeding pasture: Seed a suitable mixture about 30 days before the last killing frost. Time to a pH 6.0 or 6.6, and apply 600 to 800 pounds of 2-1212. 0-14-14 or 4-16-8 per acre. If yovr pasture has a fairly good stand of desirable grasses, but is not growing satisfactorily — feed it, with 600 to 800 pounds of fertilizer. And check on lime needs by having the soil tested. Then each year thereafter, topdress with 200 to 300 pounds of fertilizer. Or, if you prefer, apply 600 to 800 pounds every three or four years. If your pasture has a . good stand of clover but little grass use a fertilizer containing some nitrogen such as 2-12-12 or 4-168. If it has a good stand of grass, I but little clover, use lime—no ni- ' trogen. In general, pastures — where the ,chance of faill re is greater than with any other crop—should receive lime every 3 to 4 years. Detailed suggestions are found in Extension Service Circular 480, “Your Cheapest Feed—Good Pasture.” Write the Extension Service, VPI, Blacksburg, or W. H. Tyne, County Agent, Washington, Va. Don’t Wait to Order Seed Demand foe Ladino clover seed has kept pace with increased production, and farmers who wait any longer to order may be disappointed. W. W. Lewis, associate agronomist at VPI, says despite a big in crease in ladino seed production last year the ov'er-all supply situation has not improved. Information from USDA and other sources, indicates 1950 supplies of seed of the main. legumes and grasses used in Virginia are generally good. i Lewis listed red clover produced in Virginia and nearby states as a* possible exception, although , h<‘ added that the opinion of most seedsmen is that the supply will be adequate. As for hybrid corn—37 per cent more acreage in Virginia was devoted to growing hybrid seed last year than in 1948. Th^re were 1,896 acres of corn hybrid seed certified in Virginia in 1949. comparer! to 1,383 acres in 1948. There is no way of estimating the amount of corn hybrid seed that will be imported into the state.

But passing ships that ventured too near soon found themselves on the rocks. Sirens aren’t lost in legend —some are still around, still singing a beautiful song: “Unload your troubles and responsibilities on the government’s shoulders. Give the government control of this industry—and that service— and your worries are over.” Your liberties are over, too, for that’s how a socialistic form of government takes over a nation. . Don’t think it can’t happen to America. Because right here, right now, there are people who say: “Let the govern ment control the doctors, the railroads, the newspapers, the electric light and power companies. Government control is good for the people!” It’s strange, but true, that many people who say such things—like most Americans—don’t really want a socialistic government. But the effect is the same. When a government controls enough industries and services, a socialistic nation is the result whether people want it or not! Each time government gains a new control, you lose another freedom. And Americans have more rights and freedoms to guard—or lose—than any other nation on earth. Remember that, when you hear the Siren song. Your freedom is at stake!

Mr. Jenkins also indicated he would try to get two other fields in Ladino Orchard glass pasture, one a year for the next two years. In other words, by 1952 Mr. Jenkins will have three lush pastures surrounding a permanent pasture which will serve as a working pasture to be used in shifting his cows from one ladino pasture to the other and to feed on during the winter months. * * ¥ A soil sample has also been sent in for analysis from Greenfield, the farm of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Lewis of Washington, preparatory to intelligent planning in connection with an orchard grass Ladino seeding. Herbert Foster also had samples of soil sgnt in preparatory to putting two fields in corn, one on the Haddox farm and the other on the Turner farm involving a total of fifty acres. While at Mr. Foster’s place he advised that his son, Gavor, had made over $100 per litter from his registered Poland China sow carried as a 4-H project. Gavor is a member of the Flint Hill 4-H Club and this is an example of what boys can do who exercies reasonable care and management in connection with their project. * * * While at Ivory Atkins’ place, near Flint Hill, yesterday his son asked,'can I join the 4-H club. Glen Updike, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

At present seventy per cent of our appie trees are over 20 years old, while better than half of this percentage are over 30 years of age. In 1937 there were 237 commercial apple orchards in Rappahannock containing 216,430 trees of bearing age; today there are only 13b commercial orchards containing only 153,966 trees of bearing age. This represents a 24 per cent decrease in tiie number of apple .trees, while peach tree plantings have decreased 12 per cent. Not only are these figures alarming, but in addition, let’s consider the condition of the trees of bearing ages: 8 per cent excellent, 38 per cent good; 46 per cent fair; 7 per cent poor, and 1 per cent very poor. Condition of peach trees according to this survey made by the State Division of Markets and Division of Agricultural Statistics last fall shows: 57 per cent to be good; 26 per cent fair; and 17 per cent poor. Copies of the survey are available at the county agent’s office. ¥ * * Proper site is probably the greatest determining factor influencing the success or failureof an orchard. County News Notes J.

Ladino Needs A Healper For Midsummer Grazing Ladino clover needs a helper in dry, hot weather when it comes to providing' grazing for livestock. Ladino will not make much growth in such weather because of its shallow root system. So Extension Serice agronomists at VPI suggest seeding 2# to 2o pounds of lespedeza per acre on small grain plantings anytimte from now until about March 15. The lespedeza, an excellent supplemnetary mid-summer pasture, will have desirable growth by the time ladino slumps. Eight to 10 pounds of orchard grass per acre may be added to the lespedeza for lusher growth. If you plan to topdress the small grains, no other fertilizer is needed. If the lespedeza is an old stand, apply 800 to 1,000 pounds of 20 per cent superphosphate. 7:30 p.m.—Evening Worship WASHINGTON METHODIST Rev. Norman J.
