VOL. 1—NO. 23 WASHINGTON,* VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1950 $2.00 Per Year Supervisors Adopt New Budget County Tax Levy Set At $2 Rappahannock Board of Supervisors in meeting Wednesday afternoon adopted the budget as presented by the budget committee and publihed as a tentative budget, with a $2 levy for every district except Piedmont, which has an additional 15 cents for district bonds. ^ The vote was 4 to 2—against, J. P. Cook and A. C. Latham; for, Aylette Buckner, W. C. Campbell, Frank Brown, and H. B. Wood. The tax rate of $2 is set at $1.75 for schools, 10 cents for general fund and 15 cents for reassessment. The opposition to the Higher rate was opposed by Capt. Co6k, * who renewed his resolution of Monday, April 3, to cut 5 cents from the levy, reduce relief funds, $1,000, and cut $2,000 from the general re-assessment fund. The motion received no second. C. W. Keyser and Wade H. Massie both spoke against the higher tax rate. Opinions in favor of the'higher tax rate had been given at the earlier budget meeting before the setting of the tentative budget. These were to the effect that estimates can never be made as close as necessary and that the present estimates were all Very low. Another opinion was that it was sound business to “pay as you go,’’ avoid debt, and take off taxes when possible. The budget was adopted at a 2 o’clock meeting which had been set as the hour at the Monday budget hearing. In the morning session the board of supervisors heard a number of road repair requests which were continued to the next meeting due to the absence of Engineer Johnson. In a vote of 3 to 1, with W. C. Campbell and H. B. Wood not voting, the board rescinded section (b) of 1062 of Virginia Code in regards to the burning of wood and brush, March 1 to May 15, less than 300 feet from a building or woodland between the hours of 4 o’clock p.m. to 12 midnight. : Civil responsibility for fire and damage caused by fire are still existent. 1 This law, section (b) of 1062, applied to any county with the approval of a majority of its' governing body.

Robbery At Mack’s Place Sunday Night Mack’s Place, the store of E. Malcolm Richards, on the west side of Rt. 211 on the edge of the corporate limits of Washington, was broken into and robbed Sunday night. Lester Burke, who opened tp the store early Monday morning, discovered the robbery when he found a meat-box door open. He then found a broken window through which the thieves had entered. A check of articles missing showed the loss of about $3 in cash, some wine and beer, and there was no way to check accurately on other small numbers of items. Sheriff Lillard was called and had the blood hounds from the convict camp at Double Toll gates on the scene by 9:30. The hounds picked up the scent at the window of the store and followed it up the mountain in the direction of Harris Hollow until they came 'upon a spot w'here livestock, dogs, and a number of people had been. Here the hounds seemed to become confused with the many scents in the vicinity. The investigation is being continued. Historic Map Displayed By Mrs. John A. Keyser An historic map of Rappahannock and the adjacent counties was brought to the News office Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. John A. Keyser. The map is the property of Mr. Keyser’s nephew, Comdr. Charles Keyser, who is now stationed in Japan. He acquired it from E. T. Jones, grandfather of E. M. Jones. The map is in a frame and in a good state of preservation, and the writing on the map is in ink written in a very legible hand writing. This map is based on the survey made by the C. S. (Confederate States) Engineers 186165. By Ted Hotchkiss, territory engineer of Staunton, Va., 1877. Besides Rappahannock county it shows the surrounding counties of Page, Green, Madison and Fauquier. In the lower left hand earner on the map there is a tabic of the population of the townships of the county in 1870, and a census report of the number of white people, slaves and free Negroes for the years 1840 to 1870. In. the upper right hand corner of the map was written the following description: Rappahannock county was taken from Culpeper and organized in 1835 in the 37th year of the commonwealth. It was named from the river that drains it. There was a county with the same name organized’ in 1656, which was divided into Essex and Richmond in 1692, Culpeper was taken from Orange in 1748. This was part of the Northern Neck of Virginia and was granted to Lord Fairfax. This is one of the Piedmont counties of Virginia. Those that occupied the county along the east base of the Blue Ridge and extended to the low broken ranges of the mountains eastward that form the coast range. SoTne of the Piedmont counties run into midVirginia. Rappahannock is one of the five counties that make the Rappahannock group of Piedmont counties on the waters of the Rappahannock River. The following description as to how Rappahannock received its name was found on the back of the frame of the map. Rappahannock (1656) in honor of an Indian tribe of the Powhatan Confederacy, meaning “people of the alternate stream” (referring to the ebb and flow of the tide in the river of that name).

Enterprising members of the Flint Hill 4-H Club went to work recently and sold pies in the neighborhood. They bought the pies from the Royal Baking Company, in Front Royal and sold them to neighbors, with the result that enough money was raised to send four club members to camp this summer. These industrious club members are Bettie Ann Corbin, Una Goode, Paula Miller, Teenie Gentry, John B. Browning, and Dudley Wood.

Col. Richardson and W. G. Eastham were spotted early in the parade on horseback. Riding on one of the floats were Jo Ellen Worth, Elizabeth Verner, and Myrla Ann Updike. Needless to say the school children were enjoying themselves to the utmost, in the parade and at the show in the afternoon. There was not a more outstanding piece of equipment in the firefighting section of the parade than was that of Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company. The antique hand-drawn piece of equipment was resplendent with a new coat of bright red paint and the brass was polished blindingly. Estimates say the old fire-fighting apparatus is about 60 years old, and after much questioning, no one could give its exact age. Fire Chief L. V. Merrill escorted the equipment, which wras pulled by Carlyle Lea, John Turner, C. E. Giles, J. E. Keyser, Charlie Jenkins, Luti|qr Payne, M. M. Hawkins, Jr., and Harry Trescott. Four young ladies from Sperryville—Charlotte Pullen, Christine Jenkins, Carolyn Jenkins, Barbara Brown—carried a banner declaring Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company. The firemen were dressed in costumes appropriate to the date of the old hand-operated fire-apparatus. They wore black fire helmets, red shirts, and dungarees. Many Rappahannock citizens were on hand Saturday night to attend the premiere showing of “Riding High.’’ Foster Injured Sunday In Auto Wreck Paul Jackson Foster of Flint Hill was taken to Winchester Memorial hospital .with a broken shoulder and possible internal injt -rics following the wrecking of his auto about 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon on Fodderstack road near Flint Hill.

AYLOR HOSTESS TO MISSIONARY SOCIETY The Susan Wood group of the W.M.U. of Reynolds Memorial Baptist church will meet Wednesday evening April 12 at the Lee Highway Hotel with Mrs. J. H. Aylor as hostess. The 17-room home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Williams across from Wood Bros packing house in Flint Hill, was completely destroyed by fire late Tuesday night. The house and all of the personal property was a total lo$s. Mrs. Williams stated that about midnight sne was awakened by the terrible odor of something that smelled similar to burning rubber, in the house, which was at that time beginning to fill up with smoke. She awakened her husband and they discovered that the back part of the house had burst into flames. Mr. and Mrs. -Williams, who ocpied the downstairs bedroom were able to snatch a few of their clothes out.of the closet in theiir escape from the burning house. The bedroom in which they slept ignited about 10 or 15 minutes after they had made their escape, from the house. Mrs. Williams notified the fire department from the home of her neighbor, Miss Mattie Robinson. Both the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department and the Front Royal Fire Company arrived at the scene of the fire, but were unable to save the dwelling which burned to the ground and the personal property, which was also a total loss. The fire had already got quite a headway beifore it was discovered and before help could arrive. Members of the fire company stated that shortage of water was no reason for failure to stop the fire; evidently the flames were through the entire structure by the time the fire was discovered and a sharp wind blowing from the back of the building whipped the speed of fhe fire. The fire is thought ito' have started from defective wiring or from the electric water pump. There had not been any fire in the house for several days as hte Williams family spent |a great part of their time in Front Royal, where Mrs. Williams conducted a private school. The Williams’ home was a frame house with a basement and an attic, It—contained 17 rooms and four iialls, two halls at the front of the house and two at the back. An all metal kitchen had just been installed in the house prior to the fire. It is estimated that the house could not be replaced for $40,000 today. It was constructed of finest oak. Estimates of the furniture loss stands at approximately $7000. Insurance coverage was about one-third. Census Takers Still On The Job The census-takers are alive— to date. If anyone has taken a pot-shot at them, they missed. Some folks had got the idea that the census-takers were prying into their business and that there was no use in filling out all those forms. But as these dreaded characters went about their work and proved harmless, most people have lost their fear of 'em. So far, only one complaint has been registered against the census-takers. They are too indr strious. They arrive too early in the morning and insist upon filling out entirely too many blanks. Meat House Robbed At Amissville Tuesday Sam Compton, of the Amissville neighborhood, found his meat (house robbed WJedneisday morning. He had 'heard no sound during the night but yesterday morning, about 11 or 12 pieces of meat were missing: five or six hams, four or five shoulders, and a piece of siding. Some of the hams .were very large ones. Sheriff Lillard and State .Trooper Buntin were in the vicinity all day with blood hounds. Several trails were followed, and evidence in on®.spot showed where themeat had been dragged over a rail fence. The general belief is that the stolen meat was loaded into a car or truck. Theatre Party Mrs. D. C. Link entertained at a theatre party on Wednesday evening at the Washington Theatre in celebration of the tenth, birthday anniversary of her son, Danny Link. Guests present were John Turner, Carolyn Turner, Elizabeth Verner, Mildred Sisk, Carlyle Lea, Newbill Miller, Bobby Rutherford, Bucky Koons, Hill Walker, George H.

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 M£TER Easter Message By: Rot. A. Paul Thoaapaaa Blaster — the Christian festival of the Christ’s victory over the grave. Christ arose! Christ is risen! Our Lord is a living Lord! This is the gTeat motivating factor back of the wnoie Christian movement, Christians serve not a dead Christ but a nsec, living Lord. The action inspired by this faith, lead the early Christians to start anew their efforts of telling others. This faith inspired act caused the early Christians to forget the dangers of being Christians and to reach out to tell others that their religion was one which had for its Founder and Master, the living, risen Lord. The belief in this living Lord gave impetus to the early Chrstians and it does bo for the Christians today. Christ lives. There is hope for life! There is hope for this life and there is hope for the life beyond the grave. That is the Easter message. The custom of observing Easter as a Christian festival became well established as a general practice during the second century. The observance of our Lord’s victory over the grave had been going on from the earliest times after the actual Resurrection. For a long time the date to observe Easter ,was an unsettled one. The Jewish Christians wanted to observe Easter at the time of the Jewish Passover. It is believed that hte early Jewish Christians may have observed together the Passover and the Resurrection. The gentile Christians would not accept the time of the Passover as the time for Easter. Neither would tney observe the two together asa part of their Christian tradition. So it was, the Eastearn Christians observed Easter at the time of the Passover; .the Western Christians observed Easter at a later date. In 325 A.D. the Council of Nicea settled the issue for us today, following the tradition of Nicea, we observe the Resurrection of our Lord on the first Sunday following the first fjll moon after the Spring equinox. The name for our Christian festival, Easter, is derived from the name of a pagan spring goddess. It is mor« than interesting to note that the Cross was appearing upon the horizon for Jesus when He was entering Jerusalem, and when He cleansed the Temple. Yet. in knowing this, Jesus set His face toward the goal for which He came—the redemption of man* kind. He did not turn back. Jesus went to the cross. It isn't hard to imagine our* selves a part of the crowd cheering our Lord as He was entering Jerusalem. We would be glad to throw our best coat on the street for the little donkey to walk upon while bearing our Lord. We wojld be delighted to lay our finest flowers and plants in the way for the donkey to tread upon. If it were possible for Jesus to come into our community, we’d shout “Hosanna’’ until we couldn't whisper it. We would like to have been near to watch Jesus cleanse the Temple. At least, we would hate held His coat for Him while He did it. It would have been an en-, joyable experience to watch those old traders hurry away in conli.sion. Good! Keep up the good work! What about Friday? Jesus went to the Cross on Friday. Where was the cheering section that day? It is a glorious thing to think of Jesus on the Cros.

L. MASSfE, j ComU.Umt *f tU Rmm, K>Wifc.1Mck Cni>j j perienced by the Christian when he thinks of God’s gift to mankind at Calvary. It was God’s purpose and Jesus’ desire for Jesus to experience Calvary for the redemption of mankind if it need be. Jesus went to the Cross to carry out what He thought was right—God’s will for Him. Can we follow Jesus here? Are we willing and able to go to a cross for what we believe? Christians profess a number of moral values and spiritual truths. Often times, there is opposition to these when they are being applied. Can we follow Jesus here? Doing what we believe to be the right. Not some preconceived idea or personal whim or acting on prejudice —but the right as God gives us to see the right. Acting upon this principle may mean a cross. Would we do it? It is not meant an actual cross, but man can be crucified by other methods that would make the cross easy. Can we face a cross for the glory of God and the good of mankind? Had it not been for the Cross, the Resurrection would not have been. The Resjrrection gives us hope for life here and eternal life. The Cross came first. Who knows, Christians today may be called upon to suffer and even die that others may live. Would we do it? Jesus did. Are we willing to follow in the steps of our Master? Would we thus serve our risen Lord? God help us to do none other. ‘The Time Hat Come * I the WabrtM itid ... = .IIMIMIHIIMN The Amercan Legion Post is getting itself set up with one of most gratifying projects heard of for many a day. They are tackling the job of beautification of the roads in the county. They have already invited a State Highway man to come and outline a program. When the tree planting and beautifying begins, we hope that others of 'us, not just the Legion members, will be included and will be allowed to help. SL at S£. While others complain of the government, listen to the printer who also has his howl. We maintain that it is a violation of private enterprise when government printing runs into printing such things as envelopes. We make our living with job printing, and then we pay taxes to support the government printing office, which, of course, can print them much cheaper. Every business has its trade journal — farm magazines for the farmer, etc.—the printers’ journal is yelling for the printer. A cartoon appeared in the last issue showing, two men on a see-saw; postal printing heavily weighing down one side, and the private printer trying to bring his end of the see-saw down in order to reach the stack of money, $6,993,000 which was taken from the private printer by the government printing last year. * ¥ * It’s a wonder all of us don't develop complexes. Somebody preaches about the terrifying literature found in comic books which the children read—they ain’t nothin' compared' with the city papers! Murders, horror stories, a woman kidnaps a baby from an incubator, and fake collectors are running around in Arlington saying they are representatives of the American Cancer Drive—what next'.’ As for people’s honesty, it’s no wonder the man said .he wouldn’t even trust his own brother now wit ho t a thorough investigation. ¥ ¥ ¥ Rappahannock took itself over the Saturday to htdp Front Royal welcome Der Bingle with then- "B.ng Crosby Day." Mr. f lo liy was already ensconced in the hearts of the citizenry, anyway, and he wasn't content. He had to gild the lily by giving a cheek for $3,otto in addition to his former gift of -$1,000. Mr. Crosby saw to it that the Front Royal Recreation fund reached the $13,000-goal. ’Tis more blessed to give than to receive” was the tired but firm belief of many Front Royal folk Saturday night£ The merchants had given of time and money to see that everything went off right, cessfully for the youngsters, Pitts Theatre Corporation had given the use of the theatres, the special committee had given of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears to see thateverything went off right. They all—from Mr. Crosby on down the line to the smallest part —should feel proud of the successful day. * * # The Easter parade is upon us, and someone is bound to retell that story about the preacher who wished his congregation a “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” since hie knew some wouldn’t be back at church again until the new Easter bonnet was purchased next - year. The Resurrection Morn will be observed in remembrance by Christian people all over the land with the joyful music and sunrise services—bringing to the mind of men that which he should remember every Sunday and every sunrise: “He is risen!” 810 Lives Lost In 1949 On Virginia Highways Death took a fearful toll of 810 li\es on Virginia Streets and highways during 1949, Col. C. W. Woodson, Jr., Superintendent of State Police and Executive Chairman of tJie Governor’s Highway Safety Committee, announced as official records closed for the most tragic year of traffic since 1946. Comparing unfavorably with 1948’s see re of 730 dead, the record also saw injuries jump from the 15,574 of 1948 to 17,850 as traffic votjmes rose some 12 per cent. Most alarming, the safety official continued, was the rise in deaths from accidents involving only one vehicle occurring when a motor vehicle strikes a fixed object, overturns in the roadway or runs off the roadway. In commenting on the rise in fatal accidents of this type from 260 to 291 he stated that excessive speed is to blame in nine out of 10 cases. Equally disheartening was the fact tha 19 fatal crashes occurred between motor vehicles and railroad trains, which figure was eight more than in 1948. A total of 118 fatal accidents in cities and towns accounted for 124 deaths while 588 fatal accidents in rural districts saw 706 deaths. In 1948, the record showed 104 fatal urban accidents killing 114 people and 531 in rural, districts causing 616 deaths. Here, Colonel Woodson said, we have speed again since vehicles naturally travel at higher rates in open country. In spite of what Colonel Woodson called a “shameful" record, the death rate dropped from nine deaths per 100 (million veMcle miles to 8.8 in 1949 while pedestrian deaths showed a decrease from 209 to 197. Twenty-one cyclists died, again comparing unfavorably with the 10 of 1948. Alcohol also had its day with 130 drivers and 38 pedestrians in fatal accidents known to have been drinking. In 1948 the score was 100 drivers and 27 pedestri figure fairest OL 2 in this “Daisy Chain” Style No. 6332 —Dailies put a young bloom on Half-Sizers in a vertically styled dress with insert of embroidered daisies that button over pearl-ball burtons.

Here, Colonel Woodson added that these figures undoubtedly would have been considerably higher were all facts known and proven. Colonel Woodson went on to say that the toll for the first 10 weeks of 1950 was just about the same as that seen for the same period of 1949 with traffic volumes about seven per cent higher. In appealing to all Virginians that this appalling situation be curbed, he stated that, as deplorable as it is, the 1949 record is a thing of the past and nothing can be done to improve it. “Individual carelessness, and individual carelessness almost alone was responsible,” he said, “and in the name of common sense, humanity and chic pride, every Virginian should make it his business to see that it does not happen again.” Mary Forman Day Mary Forman Day, 89, died Thursday, March 30, at the home of Mrs. Bartow Brown, where she had made her home for the past three years. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Brown on Friday morning at, 11 o’clock with Dr. W. G. Pendleton officiating. D. D. Miller and D. C. Link served as two of the actibe pallbearers. Interment was in the Christ Church yard at Staunton, Delaware, on Saturday morning. Miss Day is surrived by two cousins, William B. Marye of Bali timore, Mr., and Harold Day, of New York.

It 'is of course Easter, the greatest festival of the Christian church. Though Easter has no exact date it is held in memory of the resurrection of Christ and ranging from March 22 to April 25. The date of Easter is usually decided by the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring. The name is taken from Eastre in honor of Anglo-Saxon, goddess of spring. Prayer and fasting precede^ Easter in remembrance of the forty-days fasting Jesus did in the desert. One of the moBt elaborate church services is the Sunrise Service held on Easter morning. Easter Monday is also a legal holiday in Canada, though it is not in the United States. There are various symbols taken from the old world—the white lily, the special Easter flower, symbol of.the Resurrection, and VI Send y«w (MHtgrMtbig I* "that certain wnowi" with • Vox of NORRIS ExqvWite Candiot.

A—To eat humble pie means to apologize, retract, humiliate oneself or eat one’s words. Humble in this connection however, originally had no relation to humble in The sense of lowly or unassuming. The humbles, also known as umbles and mumbles, are the inwards—heart, liver, kidney, lights entrals and other inferior parts of an animal. Humble is believed to be derived through old French from Latin Lumbulus, diminutive of Lumbus. Formerly it was customary to make a kind of pie of the humbles of deer. Humble pie was given at the hunting feasts to the seivants and ordinary huntsmen. Q—What kind of fruit is used in making prunes? A—Prunes are made from certain varieties of plums. Q—Why are certain soft drinks called pop? Certain nonintoxicating drinks containing carbon dioxide were named pop because when the bottle was opened the corks were expelled with a pop or quick, explosive noise.

Luray’s Phone Hearing Postponed To June 26 Luray’s telephone hearing in Richmond Saturday, April 1, was postponed to June 26. Page county telephone problem is unlike Rappahannock’s in its entirely, but one section of their request is similar. Page is asking repeal of a toll charge between Luray and Shenandoah, which is considered one business district. Rappahannock county holds to the opinion that since no one town is complete in itself, a toll-free telephone throughout the entire county is imperative for the transaction of business of the citizens. Page county has only one telephone system, Virginia Telephone & Telegraph. Rappahannock has the problem of being split, C & P east of Sperryville, and Virginia Tel. & Tel. from Washington west. Page county has one problem non - existent in Rappahannock. Telephone service in Page is not what the citizens think it should be. Rappahannock county has no complaint in service of the present systems. Rappahannock’s interest in the Page hearing rested in the hope that if that county got toll-free service between communities, it niiirht be a clue to the success of Rappahannock’s problem in the f utu re.

Information From The Home Agent’s Office Homemakers now can make a quick easy test to determine which potatoes are the best to bake, boil, or fry. Miss Janet Cameron, Extension Service nutritionist at V P I reporting on work done at Cornell University, says everyone likes a mealy potato for baking. If the same potato is boiled it tends to fall apart and break up. On the other hand a potato suitable for frying or boiling does not have the characteristics of a good baker. She believes the time spent doing the test will more than pay off in improvement in eating quality. The test: Add 1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons of salt to a quart of water. Make enough solution to immerse one or two potatoes. If the potato floats . . . boil it whole, or fry it. After these po*t&toes have been separated, take those that sank in the solution and repeat the test, after adding 3 more teaspoons of salt for each quart of water. Potatoes which float in this solution are the bakers. They are the mealiest of the lot. Use standard measuring cups and spoons, and fill them leved full. Miss Cameron suggests that housewives separate a peck or two of potatoes at one time. Do not save the salt solution for use later. The potatoes should he washed or free or dirt before testing. * * * So many of the falls which cause serious injuries in homes 'Fussell Florist FRONT ROYAL CORSAGES Any bloom, color, or style Priced from $2.00 to $5.00 POTTED PLANTS Lillies, Hydrangeas, Azaleas Tulips, Hyacinths, Gardenias and Roses, All Colors — Priced at 2.00 to 6.00 Complete list and prices at LEA BROS.

Department of Agriculture suggests. Stairs often are built steep to save space. This is dangerous economy, especially for a much used stairway. The treads should be deep enough to held the weight of the foot securely, and the risers just high enough for comfortable stepping. Treads 10 inches deep, having a one inch overhang, with risers 7i inches are recommended o~, at Tiost, treads inches deep with risers 9 inches high. Then the angle of the stairs will be no steeper than 30 to 35 degrees. Where space is at a premium, a pull down ladder from the attic may be safer than very steep stairs. To protect heads allow a space of at least 7 feet from stairs to ceiling above. Psychology plays a part in building safe stairs. Because most people go 'up and down by habit rather than conscious thought, and at a regular pace, stairs need to be uniform. Any off measurement steps interrupt the even pace and may cause falls. Spiral staircases are hazardous' because treads are tapered to the turn. Safer are two straight runs of stairs set up at right angles with a square landing between. Every stairway needs handrail alongside, long enough for children. Steep stairways need handrails on both sides. Clear lighting is essential to the full length of the stairway, also on doorsteps and porch steps. A good light and a two-way switch at both top and bottom of stairs are recommended. Cellar steps often are dangerously dark. Until good lighting is installed, it helps to paint stairs white ... at least to have the bottom step white. A flashlight kept handy at the head of the stairway is a good safety measure. To avoid slips, skids and trips, the specialist suggests using wax very sparingly on stairs and avoiding loose scatter rugs at top and bottom of stairs. Carpeting should be fastened firmly on each stepand kept in good repair so that it will not catch heels. Loose boards or nails in steps and stairs have caused many a fall. Another common fall hazard is clutter on stairs . . . toys, boxes, trash containers, etc. Finally, the specialist urges going slow and easy up and down stairs and never carrying loads so large that you can’t see where you’re going.

RftJ»P - CHATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent i Monday night Ned Jones tipped yo r sei ib'e off saying the Beltsviilo Experiment Station men would be down next day to apply a spray to the floor of his or< l.ai^d, designed to control or help control scab. Had planned to get out to Ned’s by eight o’clock -Tuesday morning, but between t.ying to go sleep mid odors, (skunks and rats had a free-forall under our home) being awakened by chickens squawking, getting up and calling neighbors to go investigate their hen houses, etc., all of which resulted in a powerful^good feeling had come b:30 a.m. and pulling and a Dogwood to get to work on time to outline some more work for an overworked secretaiy, we did get to Ned’s Miller orchard by ten. Tho.gh tw'o hours late I was still in time and here is what was seen and learned. Nobody’s much concerned about w'hat the other fellow smells or how he slumbers, anyway. Dr. M. C. Goldsworth and his r cw whip using one-half gallon ♦-'gct'il per 100 gallons of water and applying 400 gallons of the spray mixture to the acre on a ti n-acre plot. Ife will apply three other such sprays twixt here and -Martinsurg. What they are trying to do is to squeeze out some of the bloom stage sprays and then use a mercury compound in the calyx stage and thus hope to control scab more economically by using jest the pink and calyx scab sprays. He thought, e“maybe we can do without the pink spray after we get more information on this type of spraying.” Of course, the ultimate goal is a reduction on total spray costs and a reduction in spray costs per bushel produced. Dr. Goldsworthy was using a 15-foot horizontal .boom just high enough from the ground surface as to insure overlapping of the spray from each of 'the nozzles placed 1” inche-. apart along the horizontal boom. He stated further that such booms should be tailored to fit the individual orchard. He stated further (and forgive our spelling if we’re wrong) that ascaru.s scab spores come from the floor of our orchard, where they overwinter in leaves partially alive when jack frost did his work early the previous fall. This type spore causes the earlier scab infestation whereas late scab comes fpm the Canadian type tree borne spores. If we can control the spores on the ground we won’t get any spreading of scab to the tree unless the orchard concerned is within 300 feet or less from scab-infested trees. An orchard production survey was started Tuesday, April 4, to determine Rappahannock’s eligibiiity for disaster loans made available from Federal funds through the State office of the Farm Home Administration for tire i> rpose of financing 1930 orchard operafftms where loans for such purposes are not obtainable elsewhere. Petitions to R. O. Delano, State Director, F.H.A. are also being circulated in the county requesting that Rappahannock be designated a disaster area. These petitions are in the hands of your county agent, L, J. Kilby, W. C. Campbell, Wood Bros., or at their respective offices. Survey forms hare been sent a cross section of the producers (large, medium, and small) representing approximately 60 per cent of the total number of commercial growers in Rappahannock, however, any grower who happens to be in Washington is requested to stop by the county agent’s office for the purpose of executing one of these forms as time is an all important factor in determining whether loans to eligible orehandists will be made available during early spraying operations. Mr. Orchardist co-operate — by doing so you may help someone who really is in dire need. Farm census forms have been mailed out—assist the enumerators by filling yours out at a time you’re not busy at something else. The question of taxation is not inrVTv^H^and each form is treated vufth strict confidence. Also keep jp mind that accuracy is most imIportant as practically all of our agricultural programs turn to farm census data as a guide for sound planning. Any efficient business carries an inventory and our farm census is just that. Census figures are not only used in determining ' agricultural p r ograms on the national and state level but also affect directly or indirectly the co.nty extension service progiam of work and accomplishments of all other agencies functioning on the agi icultural level in Rappahannock. If there are questions you don’t understand make note of them and ask the enumerator when he or she calls.

Zinn, DOLMONT FARMS. 3-30-3tc Timely Information From The Home Agent Future farmhouses designed for the Northeast can be made more satisfactory to live in by a new report of a survey of what farm families in this area need and want in a home. More than 600 farm families, of t.ie 12 northeastern states from Maine to West Virginia, answered questions about the houses they live in, the kind they would prefer, their household activities, and their possessions that require storage. The findings now are published in a new 458 page report. The survey is being matched by similar research in the other regions of the U.S., altogether forming the first national survey of this kind ever made. Undertaken with funds provided by the Research and Marketing Act of 1946, Ttnnutvey is a joint roeenrch task of the 'ti. S. Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics and 29 states. Findings for the Northeastern area, the first to b<? reported, indicate that nearly half of the occupied farm houses in the area were built at least 100 years ago. Presenting the findings for the Northeastern Farm Housing Technical Committee, Prof. Glenn H. Beyer, of Cornell University, points u>.t a trend for farm families to prefer houses of fewer stones. About 34 per cent of the Northeast farm families questioned said that they prefer a onestory house. Only About three per cent live in such homes now. Only Id per cent said they prefer two and a half or three story houses, yet 35 per cent are living in such houses. X << satisfy preferences of farm families in tins area, the report shows tnat architects and other housing specialists will need to design all houses with a basement and with central heating. If a house has more than one story anti only one bathroom, the farm families prefer this room on the first floor. In houses of more than one story, there should be a bed room on the first floor. Two thirds of the families said that they have overnight guests often enough to warrant providing extra sleeping space. Information on family preference for general features of a farm hou»e and for location of activities can be used immediately in designing farm houses for the * Northeast. Information on household activities and family possessions requiring storage will form the basis for laboratory work planned to determine space requirements. Fer example, about half the families said they needed more storage space than they now have. The space actually required to store the quantities of clothing, food, dishes, linens, and household supplies reported on hand by the families surveyed will be determined in the laboratory. This second phase of the housing research will lead to the development of space standards for storage and household activities and recommendations for efficient and ecenomical ways to arrange space and equipment. Results will be made available to architects. They will be of particular value to the Department’s Regional Plan Service which aims Regional Plan Service.
