-V tt'iiyXfti‘V ■/f-' WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1950 $2.00 Per Year County Fair Catalogue It Available Now Tlie Rappahannock County Fair catalogue is out, announcing the classes- and prizes for the fair at Rappahannock High School, Saturday, September 30. Non-perishable exhibits are to .he brought to the fair Friday evening September 29, between 7 and'9 p.m. Perishable exhibits, livestock and poultry are to be brought in between 8 and 10 a.m. Saturday morning. Livestock and poultry may be removed that afternoon by 5 o’clock, and all other exhibits must remain in ttye fair until after the hight entertainment program. Entertainment features of the day include a Minstrel by the Sperryville Fire Auxiliary at 2 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. At 3 and 7 :30 the Rappahannock Fire Auxiliary will stage.a Womanless Beauty contest. ; .

Door prizes will be given for guests from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and a separate set of door prizes will be given for the evening hours, 6 to 19 p.m. Not even a new Sears-Roebuck can compete with the thrill of getting the fair catalogue and seeing which contests you can enter to beat your neighbor. " A good friendly bit of competition can put real pleasure into a day. We know that there can be wily one person who agrees with the judges-r-that’s the fellow who wins first prize—but cussing oof the judges is part of the fun. Like a good ball game, there’s more fun when you give a rousing cry of “kill the umpire!” Part of the entertainment of the fair is walking around, examining the prize winners and scorning the judges’ decisions. You can, likewise, be fairly certain that when you scorn the first-prize winner in favor of another, the person who overhears you is either the winner himself, or his cousin. Another nice aspect of the fair is found in the sour-puss who gripes because his exhibit didn’t win the first prize, and the judges picked that “ 'onery-looking, skinny, knock-kneed calf, instead of | my good one.” If he gets good and mad about it, then you can have some extra fun teasing. You’re cheating yourself if you don’t have at least one entry in competition, at the fair. There is no way you can get the same in-1 terest unless you’ve taken a part, f (Get a copy of the catalogue and look over the classes listed for1* competition. Put in as many entries as you can. It gives you a I better chance to brag about winning. Don’t place the odds high against you by only having ah entry in one class, you stand too slim a chance to win. Enter several classes, then if you can’t get a blue ribbon in one, you stand a chance in another. , Don’t put off too long. You may need time to dress up your entry to make it shine better on fair day. Picnic Supper At "Rock Villa** Mr. and Mrs. J.

Fir« Company Carnival In Washington This Week The Keystone Attractions car* nival now showing in Washington,, under auspices of the Rappahanhad a good opening night for Monday, i>ut the skies furnished the “wet ’blahket” for Tuesday night. The firemen are hoping that the rest of the week will see good weather so a good crowd will be in attendance. Many from Sperryville and other communities were seen on the lot the first of the week. The carnival has a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and a kiddie train as well as the numerous midway attractions of a carnival. The “eats” booth will be run by the ladies of the Auxiliary, with the different communities furnishing the food on different nights.

When here before, he recalled that it was the first year of the terrific '29, ’30, ’31 drought. He recalls that the earn nival was held in a wooded spot, guessed to be Jack Miller's woods. He thinks that the road has been changed; and he is certain that it has been improved! Mr. Barnhill says that he can see very little change in the town. The owner of the glass dish concession had to restock his concession after Monday night; when Mary Wharton finished, she could have opened up a stand of her own. Don’t forget the Fire Company benefits by every nickel or dime you spend on the midway. Leave For College Five of our county girls will leave for Madison College, Harrisonburg, this week end.

M. M. Thomas, of the Department of Agriculture, accompanied the 11 Frenchmen and two interpreters on a planned tour connected with ECA, the Marshall Plan. The Frenchmen were sent by their own government for the study-tour, but the itinery wa9 arranged by the U. S. Department of . Agriculture. On the tour, for* this section only, was Harry Stiles of Martinsburg. The bus load was to continue their fiv'eweek tour as far west as Michigan and back through New York state. Dr. Robert Hummel, an official of the state council of farmer cooperatives in Wurttemberg, Stuttgart, Germany, arrived in Sperry^ville Thursday and his^igstlwalr not in connection with the tour of the French gentlemen—the two interpreters were ladies. Dr. Hummel spent two days studying the agricultural credit problems and agricultural co-operatives in the county. The group visited the Rappahannock Fruit Growers Co-op on. Friday, including the packing house, the juice plant, and the cold storage plant, and continue4 their study at the Washington Coop.. Fruit Growers packing house after lunch. At Sperryville the Frenchmen seemed most interested in the cold storage plant, for with this phase of preserving they were not familiar. They have co-operatives in France, though not exactly like the ones in the United States. Several of the visiting Frenchmen borrowed coats and examined the refrigeration systems carefully, but some of the others did not appear to relish the extreme cold. One of the interpreters stated that she, too, was a fruit grower, raising oranges in North Africa. She said that most of her orchard products were shipped to Europe but little of it to England, due to the expense of transportation. C. E. Johnson, Jr., and Lucio Kilby were on hand for the visit and showed the gentlemen around. A few of the Frenchmen could speak a little English, but most of the conversation had to be done through the interpreters. L. R. Hudson Re-elected Insurance President L. R. Hudson of Slate Mills was re-elected president of the Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company at the annual meeting Saturday, September 9, at the Courthouse in Washington. 'Members represented in presence and proxy numbered 378. E. M. Jones was elected chairman of the meeting and C. J. Mil-* ler, Jr., secretary read the minutes of the prior meeting and gave the statement of collections and disbursements, dated September 1, 1949 to September 1, 1950. The balance showed $30,008.33. Directors named were L. R. Hudson, Robert L. Brown, Wade H. M/issie, Jr., R. L. Miller, C. E. Johnson, Jr., (B. R. Miller, and J. P.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock > County, Virginia , Dial Washington 2851 JLUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher - ,a,, —. . '• ... Entered as second-class mail ■natter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: —- $2.00 a year Criticism of Marines Embarrassing We, as a people, are embarrassed at the conduct of the President of the United States regarding h i s “unfortunate use of words" in his opinion of the “Navy. Police Force.” Since he is our President, we feel we have a right to expect from his position dignity in conduct and in language. His apology was accepted, of course. The Marines are gentlemen, as well as a fine bunch of fighting men. There should never have been any reason for the apology. The whole affair was inexcusable. Some months back the President emplpyed another “unfortunate use of words” in designating the maternal parentage of a newspaper columnist To the kennel. The President's infamous “s-o-b" quote did-not harm the columnist, -iwlr't^r" Tkpnrritrair'people’^imd right to be indignant. Perhaps someone should remind the President that to the average American citizen he sits in the chair once occupied by Thomas Jenerson. We cannot expect him. to fill the chair, but We can expect his behavior to become it. Let no snob say^ it is no more than expected of a haberdasher—a railsplitter sat in that chair with dignity; and no man's business nor profession determines whether or not he is a gentleman. We joked aside the wise-crack of the President about “too many Byrds in the Senate.” To those of us who think there are “too few" rather than “too many,” the President’s poor attempt at humor fell flat. We find our Senior Senator a conscientious statesman who is striving to serve our best interests and protect our State and nation. We place our hopes and faith in him, and we find no reason to see him placed in a position lacking the dignity and seriousness of purpose he has always shown. 164 School*age Children Traffic Victims in 1949 “If our present rate of highway killing continues, our schools will see 200 empty seats before the session ends,” was the statement this week of Col. C. W. Woodson, Jr., as more than 600,000 Virginia school children settled down- far the 1950-51 grind. Col. Woodson pointed out that 1949 saw 164 young people in Virginia of high school age an4 below die in traffic accidents and that the rate at which our 1950 deaths are soaring will undoubtedly raise this figure substantially unless every driver realizes that one of those empty seats might .yell belong to his child and acts accordingly. Colonel Woodson continued in urging slower speeds and extreme caution in school zones, in the vicinities of playgrounds and along the routes used by children traveling to and from school. He stated also that, even at the conservative speed of 35 miles per hour, the average motorist requires 101 feet to stop his car after he has seen danger. This, said Col. Woodson, can be far too little when a child darts across the street or highway unexpectedly. Calling attention to the fact that the last school session saw several children killed as they; were leaving school buses, Col.' Woodson said that almost invariably the driver of the fatal car claimed that he could not see the halted bus because other vehicles were stopped behind it. “If you see a string of cars stopped in the road,” he continued, “presume that they’rq stopped for a bus and Be alert and treat every child you see as a human caution sign. Yel don’t know what'they’re going to do and there’s every chance that others are in the immediate vicinity,” were the Colonel's closing remarks. FUSSKJLL-YOUNC IQS CUAM COMPANY 4 Some Rule* Are Always Necessary Always there must fee rules fox; the smooth operation of any or* Sanitation, and the public school is no exception. In our schools we get our first taste of formal learn' ins which follows us all through, life. It is a never-ending process; and so is discipline. We learn discipline from elders, from jobst responsibilities, customs, and laws. Planning is necessary for intelligent rules which will make the school life a happier one for all concerned, and the persons who adapt themselves most readily to the learning and discipline of the school are the happiest and most enriched citizens of the school community. Rappahannock High School will be faced with all of the problems of the old school and many new problems which are inevitable from combining forces to create a high school double the size of the former high school. Much, careful thought has been given by the schol authorities towards making this initial year a safe, sane, and successful one for your chil-, dren. One of the rules, which has been unanimously agreed upon, is that of keeping the pupil3 on the school property and off the streets. The patrons of the school are earnestly solicited to give their support .towards enforcing this rule during school hours. Like all rules which endeavor to consider the best interests of the whole community, this one is not ironclad; but pupils definitely are _to_fW-4ise*>i«#ged ■from going -tog town unless it is absolutely necessary. Those going home to lunch (and having written, permissions from their parents {o do so) will be excused as usual. For those cmifiren in the rural areas who are forced to do the family shopping, special arrangements are being considered to have a reliable person do this shopping and to have the bus drivers pick it up. This idea evolved because of certain abuses of the privileges by some of the pupils of ■ former years. Then there is the united conviction that soft drinks should not be sold at school for the time being, at any rate. Ice cream will be sold after lunch fpr those who desire it'. Again there is good reason for the ruling. Careful checking on the lunch habits and corresponding health improvement of the pupils would seem to be eloquent reasons for any parent who earnestly wants to see the children achieve the maximum development of physical and mental strength. Then there is the problem of adequate space for many of the fea-* tures desired by various interests. Suffice it to say that the school is not run for the interests of any one group but for the good of the entire school. There is nothing , particularly new or revolutionary about any of the rules. Because the rules reach into more and more homes, understanding is increasingly necessary. It is sincerely felt that understanding will promote co-operation and co-operation will insure lasting success. It is also earnestly hoped that there is no one in the community of Rappahannock who is waiting to see the school' fall apart at the seams—and the sooner the better! Surely there is not a single person. All of the rules have been discussed care-4 fully and have resulted from a combined effort of all the teachers and advisors of Rappahannock High School. May everyone do his part to see that things get off to a fine start so that the benefits realized by the pupils and their families of YOUR high school may be ever increasing. While it is impossible to please everybody, is it too much to expect that the majority of parents, merchants, and citizens of the community lend their support to the efforts of your new school? In this way we shall es Baseball UNDER LIGHTS NIGHTS AT 8:00 4 miles from Culpeper on Orange" Road FRIDAY, SEPT. 15 CULPEPER "LORDS” —vs— TAPPAHANNOCK (Play-off) SUNDAY,SEPT. 17 CULPEPER “LORDS" —VS.. ■? , ■. TAPPAHANNOCK ’ (Scatlo(SSanaa)g *The Tima Hat Coma* tin Walrvi said . » , We ere a mealy-mouthed generation, is an accusation thrown at editors of today’s newspapers. Old-time editors pulled no. punches states the accuser, in stating their views. As a sample, he quotes the following from a Colorado weekly dated February 14, 1896. (It can be noted that the date is Valentine’s Day—but ’twas no love note the editor wrote. It is also quite evident that the edi: tor’s rival was running for the legislature, and another item in evidence is that there was no love lost between the two editors.) “ * idea that . . . . would want any help from the one column foot rot that has been an abortion on. the people of this county for the past five years, if he should be a candidate for the legislature! I don’t think so. I don’t think he is a candidate for anything. If he was he would want* the support of a newspaper that the people had confidence in, and not by a man whose personal life is so nasty and filthy and steeped in vice. The blossom on his nose tells the company he keeps. His putrid carcass should be relegated to the gangrene ward at the poor farm; the dead and dirty flesh would soon drop from the bones, leaving only the dry bones of a Swede jumpingjack. They should be carefully disinfected and strung on wire and placed in the hands of Judas with Jnstmctioji»Ua-Pj.tH the -string -apd^ see the little shrimp dance.’ In the same issue the editor further stated “A little, cheap, booze grafting, tinhorn gambler named . . . lias for the past six years been skinning this county through his blackmailing sheet.” Perhaps editors are mealymouthed, as they are accused. After careful thinking, the name of one single editor cannot be raised to mind who would dare voice, with such strong language, tys opinion of anyone. > s throw the blame elsewhere. Let’s say all these crafty - lawyers, searching for an opportunity to get someone to sue another, keep all editors intimidated. That casts part of the blame on lawyers. Let’s say the merchants are to blame. They might retaliate by cutting their business and refusing to extend credit to the poor editor. The poor editor would be frozen and starved. Now, some Of .• the blame can go on the merchants. * Let’s not blame anyone. Let’s just plain say: the editor today lacks —intestinal fortitude (that’s the way it s put now, the editor of old would have spelled it with four letters)—to come out and speak his mind. We accept the epithet: we are mealy-mouthed. * * Recently there appeared in the columns of the News Aesop’s moral derived from one of the fables: you can never hope to please all the people all the time. This week’s moral shall appear thus: you can never hope to top the Colonel’s story, or, when it comes to topping-the-etory, the Army gets the medal. The subject got around to the general public’s butchering of the king’s English. “Tis the absolute cape the dire fate of Aesop’s miller: pleasing nobody. - Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia ' THURSDAY, SEPT. 15 MARIE WILSON JOHN LUND **My Friend Irma” FRL - SAT., SEPT. 15-16 GEORGE MONTGOMERY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 SCOTT BRADY —in— “Port of New York” MON. - TUBS., SEPT. 18-14 ALAN LADD ~ ■ * -—fa - “Chiekfo Deadline” WED. - THUR., SEPT %6-Zl BO B HOPE ^ - - “Great Lover” ■ . •MIHIIIIIIIIIitntlll, , truth,’* Mid I, “for I heard him My it.

As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee who took active part- in passage of the -iQgUlaij'kn- providing /»r- unification of the armed services and spelling out the functions of the several arms of our national defense, I totally disagree with the President that Congress intended that “the Marine Corps is the Navy’s police force." * ‘ The Marine Corps is an integral part of our national defense and one of the most vital of our combat units. Section 206 of Senate Bill. 758, approved July 26, 1947, specifically outlines the functions of the Marine Corps, a perusal of which will satisfy any person that it is intended that the Marine Corps be a very important integral part of our combat forces, organized, trained and equipped to perform especially difficulty and dangerous combat service, which is far and beyond a designation of a Navy police force, as described "T 'to«1l ««d •»«ry tomftrf and tep — ttjoymtiif far Nit Mtirt family ORtvi OUT TO A DRIVE-IN tHiATM C AND' C DRIVE-IN THEATRE Strasburg Road FRONT ROYAL Two Complete Show* Nightly Starting At Twilight IN CAR SPEAKERS THURS., SEPT. 14 JOHNNY WEISMULLER VIRGINIA GREY —in— “Jungle Jim” Cartoon FRI., SEPT. 15 JOHNNY WEISMULLER VIRGINIA GREY , —-in— “Jungle Jim” GUY MADISON DINIA LYNN —in— “Texas, Brooklyn and Heaven” SAT., SEPT. 16 RANDOLPH SCOTT ELLA RAINES —in— “Walking Hills” ROY ACUFF “O My Darling ' Clementine” SUN. - MON.; SEPT. 17-18 JENNIFER JONES JOHN GARFIELD —in>— “We Are Strangers” Cartoon TUES. - WED., SEPT. 19-20 (Pint Time In Front Royal) AUDIE MURPHEY GAIL STORM J, “Kid From Texas” (Technicolor) Cartoon (Kiddie’s Night Wednesday) Sgetial 30 aunvUa ef Carts an by the President. ^ The fighting spirit of the Ma-i rines end the esprit de corps of that great organization have been one of the main factors in the ' winning of every war in which America has been engaged. For seventeen years, as a member of the Senate committee dealing with the Marines, I have been in close contact with their opera' tions and have for the Marines a great admiration. I do not believe their work should be minimized or their stature reduced. Beginning with Tripoli, one hundred and fifty years ago, to Okinawa, the Marines have written a page of glbrious achievement not excelled or, I think, equalled, by any other military organization in the history of the world. Making Finer Lawns Fall usually is the ideal season to start a new lawn or improve an old one, grass specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture remind home owners. Many of the good perennial grasses of cool, humid regions have their dormant perjcd in midsummer, then start heavy growth in cool fall weather. If encouraged at this season, such grass has a headstart in the spring over the crabgrass and weeds. \ Befoi'e seeding or fertilizing this fall, home owners may well consider two of. the newer aids for the lawn. One is the, new practice of making the soil porous by machine, so that • it absorbs rain and fertilizer easily. A common cause of pomM^rf-is hard-paeked - soil, say specialists of the U. S. Associ®tinny- working,i. with the Department. As much as 80 per cent of ong rainfall may run off and frequent watering is needed to keep grass alive. Aerification of the soil saves water, makes for efficiency in fertilizing as well as saving time. Though machines for aerification are too ex- . i pensive for home-owners to pur* chase, they may be rented from nurserymen and landscape garden* ers, or the home lawn can be aerified on contract. If properly done, aerification in no way interferes with the appearance or use of the lawn. The surface is not roughened even on the finest golf course putting green. Water and fertiliser. enter aerified soils easily, and grass roots grow deeper, making the grass better able to stand the drought. Lawns* that are aerified periodically require less than half the irrigation water needed by those on compacted soil. Another^ new practice for yearround fine lawns is a mixture of cool season grasses (bluegrass, fescue, bentgrass) with warmseason grasses (bermuda, zoysia) which are promising for greatest freedom from weeds and economical upkeep. The new Merion (B* 27) bluegrass is one of the best of the cool-season varieties tested in combination with warm-season grasses. Alta and Kentucky 31 fescue also show promise. Research along these lines is continuing. ' ' •' . Stick weed Troublesome In Virginia Pastures Stickweed, now ►coming into bloom and crowding out grazing areas in many of Virginia’s pastures, can be controlled by applying a 2,4-D spray, says John M.

Virginia Farm Plant* > In Good Condition The plant and equipment of Virginia farms has never been in better condition, and the state’s farmers are prepared to meet any emergency that may lie ahead, according to Rodes Brown, Jr., Assistant cashier of the Rappahannock National Bank who represents the Virginia Bankers Association as a county agricultural key banker. “One of the best indications of this is that Virginia farmers borrowed less from banks during 1949 than in 1948," Mr. Brown said. Reporting on the results of the ninth national survey ox farm lending made by theAgricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association, Mr. Brown noted that there was a decline in both the number of new loans and the total amout borrowed from banks by Virginia fanners last year, “This decline is particularly healthy,” he said, “in view of the present uncertainties and the slight drop in farm income. It shows that farmers are wisely avoiding excessive debt and are holding on to their reserves to meet any possible emergency.” Mr. Brown stated that “in 1949, the last full year of operation, the 292 Virginia banks serving agricultural communities loaned $49,584,099 to 40,282 farmers to meet all types of financial needs, This is a decline from the 45,907 farm loans, totaling $50,790,000 made by banks in 1948. Of the total amount loaned last year, $37,221t000 werevborrowed by 84$$99 ftfrmers to finance production and operational requirements. Of these loans, only $29,154,000 were outstanding on January 1, 1950. “During the year, there were 6,183 farmers, representing o.o per cent of the farmers in the state, who made farm real estate loans in an aggregate amount of 712,363,000. The prosperity of the state’s farmers is shown by the fact that only $28,177,000 in real estate loans were outstanding at the begining of this year. “The total of all bank-held farm debt in Virginia on January 1, I960, was $54,331,000.’’ Mr. Brown noted that one of the brightest aspects of the present farm debt situation is the small size of the average loan, indicating the service that banks are “rendering to the owners of small farms in particular.

Massie, Jr., at “Hampden Hall,” will return to the University of Virginia Frw day for the 1950-51 session. rage loan for protection purposes was only $1,092, and the average loan made on farm real estate was only $2,000. “With the pent-up demand for equipment caused by World War II apparently satisfied,” Mr. Brown said, “a larger and larger percentage of farm borrowings have been going in to other long range improvements. These improvements, along with the growing trend of Virginia farmers to practice modern conservation and land management, will assure the importance of the state in the agricultural picture for years to come.” TWO-FUEL, SINGLE OVEN Lombines cooking ^ with heating comfort An Ultra Modern electric range A Two-Way Room Heater...That also cooks and bakes while it heati with oil, coal or wood..

New Social Security Law The new Social Security law,' signed by the President August 28, became effective September 1, 1950. Under a provision of the new law, increased payments will go to everyone now receiving oldage or survivors insurance payments. If you are now receiving payments, you have received or will receive a postcard giving the following information: 1. You will receive more money—-The new Federal Social Security law entitles you to larger monthly insurance benefits starting "yith. Jthe; check- you will-ra»^ ceive early in October. 2. You need take no action— Your increase will come automatically. 3. You will be able to earn more money in employment covered by social security and still receive your benefit check — Beginning " September 1, 1950, you may earn! as much as $50.00 a month. If you are 75 or over, you may earn any amount. 4. Please do not inquire about your increase—Those of you who are now receiving monthly pay* ments do not have to do anything to get the increase. Wait until you receive your check in October to' find out the exact amount of your increased payments. If in October your check shows no increase, the delay will be temporary—a later check uvill make up the difference. The above applies to those per* sons who are now receiving monthly payments. Also under the new law persons 65 or over will be eligible for insurance benefits, beginning September I, if they have been paid wages of $50.00 or more in six or more different calendar quarters for work covered by social security. Roughly, this is a year and a half. There are a number of persons in Rappahannock county who can qualify for payments un« der this protection. No payments can be made until an application is filed. If you are 65, not receiving monthly payments, and have worked in covered employment and have been paid wages of at least $50 in six different calendar quarters, you should get in touch with the Social Security office in Alexandria.

The 1950 certified seed directory, listing growers of certified seed in Virginia, now is available from the Virginia Crop Improvement Association at Blacksburg. Growers of wheat, rye, barley, oats, soybeans, fescue, red clover, tobacco, peanuts, hybrid corn, and sweet potatoes are among those listed. Seed Certification Agent J. G. Sanderson says that only the growers whose small grain fields passed all inspections made by representatives of the State Certified Seed Commission are included in the directory. The lists of growers for all other crops include those who have made application for inspections and certification. Most of them have had several years’ experience in the production of certified seed. Others for certified seed can be accepted by the listed growers only with the understanding that they will be filled if and when certification is complete.

Currently a typical statement in egg market news: reports- is “demand good for all sizes top' quality—lower grades in over supply.” To cash in on the demand for high quality eggs poultrymen should market clean eggs, Livermore says. Gathering them three times a day will help keep eggs clean, and also will help maintain interior quality. Cool eggs quickly after they are gathered, and keep them at a temperature # of 60° to 60° P. Air humidity of 75 percent in the egg cellar, or other storage placed, is important in maintaining interior quale • tty. Market eggs at least twice a. week, especially during warm weattor.

Turkey Growers Following Earlier Marketing Trend Turkey growers are following * trend toward earlier marketing, and expect to sell 40 per cent of the 1950 crop before November; 1. D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at VPI, says last year 35 per cent of the crop was sold before -November 1. ' As for production—it exceeds last year’s by 26 per cent. The Virginia crop of 1,908,000 turkeys is the largest crop on record. The State now ranks fifth in the na-< tion in the number of turkeys raised, compared with seventh last year, and twelfth in 1947. Although turkey poults hatched in Virginia exceeded last year by 50 per cent, shipments of poults to other states also increased, bringing net poult placements in the State to 2,400,000. A death loss of 20 per cent accounts for the difference between poults hatched and turkeys raised. Balanced against the expected record-breaking national crop of 44,600,000 birds is the largest consuming population of all time, and a record high purchasing power.
