Begin* 72nd Year Rappahannock Home Mutual Fir* Insurance Company began; its 72nd year September 1, with a record of which it is justly proud. 3 The amount of insurance in force September 1, I960 Was « $2,710,181.50, while ten years ago, September I, 1940, .the amount was $1,341,955.50. The balance on hafrd reported in 1940 was $11,502.34, while the treasur- l «r, C. Jackson Miller, reported at the' annual meeting, September 3, 1950, a balance of $35,008.33. ' Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company came into be-;» ing in 18*78, when the charter was issued in the names of Gideon H. " Brown, William F. Anderson, John S. Browning, Cornelius Smith, Lewis Botts, Robert E. Miller, and Middleton Miller. G. H. Brown was named first president and William F. Anderson, secretary. The early records of . the Fire Insurance Company are lost. Andrew Botts was at one time, secretary of the company, and it is supposed that the records were destroyed in the Woodville tornado, May 2, 1929. The records eiqst from 1924 untii the present date, but those prior to 1924 were supposedly stored at Woodville. L. R. Hudson was named president of the company in 1945 at the death of the former president, (Pietarcs, page 8.) . ... . . i... Wade H. Massie, and John J, Miller was president prior to Mr. Massie. The last three secretaries have been Andrew Botts, F. B. Dudley, and C. J. Miller, the pres* ent secretary-treasurer. C. J. Miller was named secretary at the death of F. B. Dudley in 1988. Wade H. Massie, Jr., has been "ice-president of the company since 1946. Directors are Brooke R. Miller, who became a director in 1940; Robert Lee Miller, a director for the past 26 years; €. E. Johnson, Jr., first named director in 1947, Robert L. Brown, named a director in 1949; and J. P. Cook, named a director in 1350. * ? At a meeting of the stockholders beginning the year"September 1, 1950 to September 1, 1951, there were 378 members represented in presence and in proxy. The membership totals 472. The records of the Fire Insurance Company show that the largest single fire loss in 1949 was $2975. Records are gone on the largest fire loss in the history of the company, but it is thought to be that of the Rappahannock Woolen Mills, about 35 or 40 years ago. Garden Club Member Win* Tricolor Award - The Rappahannock Garden Club should be just proud of the distinction of having one of its members win a tricolor award, and especially proud of the high standard the award sets for -its first show. The National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc., states in its handbook: "Tricolors are awarded by judges only to very distinguished exhibits ... It is, however, the privilege of the judges to withhold a tricolor award if no exhibit is worthy of the honor." An award of this type is not achieved easily; but originality, imagination, ingenuity, and the basic fundamentals of arrange merit must be combined with'innate good taste to achieve a coinposition of this sort. . The observer of Mrs. R. M. Menefee’s composition, depicting fox-hunting, is impressed immediately with the planned relationship between all of the parts and the (triangular shape which was subtly carried out. The size rela7 thmship of the horses, hounds, rail fence, tree, stump, ^nd arrangement of dried material' was perattained by the whight of the dried materials arranged in the stump on one side with the figurines of the ^hunter, hounds, and fence onthe'other. The harmony of the colors with the container and the different materials used further contributed toward the overall perfection of this exhibit. Lt Petersen Wounded In Action in Korea Word baa been received by telegram from Korea, dated September 17, from Lt. R. J. Petersen, notifying his wife, Mrs. Evelyn Settle Petersen, that he had been wounded in action and was being returned to the States. Mrs. Petersen has a position in Washington, 0.

To one unacquainted with the schedule of the school, it may appear that pupils of Rappahannock; High School spend most of the ichool day on the playground. Mr. Calhoun is doing a fine job as athletic director and physical education instructor, despite the heavy “population” in all of his classes. To achieve a fairly adequate program in physical education, it has been necessary to stagger the activity periods throughout the day for the high school. Thus some class in physical education is on the field during each period of the day. To enable you to understand what YOUR child is doing throughout the school day, the following schedule is being published by the school: 9:00—9:15 Everyone is in home room for opening exercises. 9:15—10:10 English 12, St. Hall; Biology; Soc. St. 8-1, 8-j; Science 8-K; Agr. 9; Home Ec.; Typing 11. 1,0:101—11:05 Eng. 10; Math 9-b; Eng. 8-J, 9-0; Soc.

It is seen by this schedule that the school day closes at 8:20 instead of the customary 8:30. Obviously this had to be done because of the hjis system in exchanging pupils from Sperryville JO. ELLEN WORTH SANG AT CULPEPER CHURCH SUNDAY Miss Jo Ellen Worth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cary was guest singer at the Culpeper Presbyterian church Sunday morning at the special services held at 11 o’clock.

'** vwane— Sweepstake* Winners At Rapp'k Flower Show Flowers should bring out the lovely and the gentle in everyone. When the group giving a flower show has a good spirit and the judges are well chosen the flower show becomes a thing of joy even to the losers. As Whittier says “Beauty seen is never lost.” (Flowers and poetry just simply go together!) Of course there are those who feel that competition is not a good thing and a display of arrange* ments a waste of time. But for most people, a flower show is a lovely thing to look at and exciting to be a part of. It emphasizes the important place flowers may play in anyone’s life. By and large, it encourages good sportsmanship and teaches the \felue of cooperation among the members who put it on. Sometimes, in small shows, it is necessary to point out that the real success of a flower show cannot be measured by committee work alone, no real success of a flower show cannot be measured by committee work alone, no matter how zealous—and no one should ever disparage thCs# very necessary efforts! But always there must be the Mary’s and the Martha’s, and what would a flower show be without exhibits, It is the exhbits which “feed our souls” — and the Rappahannock show did its part to renew our spirits with beauty in this time of great conflicts. Its many observers agreed that flower show is a good thing for the chance it gives for expression of our feeling of beauty; and undoubtedly a beautiful arrangement can be as much a masterpiece as a beautiful painting. It was interesting to observe the splendid work of the judges in the Rappahannock show. These competent ladies, Mrs. A. W. Yowell of Peola Mills, Mrs. C. B. Graves of Luray, and Mrs. W. F. McComb of Bluemont, did much to make the show a worthwhile thing. It was generally felt that they went “by the book” and did not coddle .the exhibitor in any way. This in itself is a big compliment to the Rappahannock show, for It had numerous exhibit! which . were worthy of the judges' most careful attention to the rules, which they had mastered by careful training. Sweepstakes for the shows are determined by the committee and not the concern of the judges, act cording to the State Garden Clubs' Handbook. The highest prize is usually awarded to the winner of the greatest number of first prize points, and the second prize to the winner of the second highest number. In this case, judged on a qualitative basis, Mrs. L. J. Turner would have been the winner. Her score was a total of 21 points with four blue ribbons among them. The club this year put the emphasis upon quantity rather than quality, since it was the first show and was felt that once exhibitors realized the satisfaction of exhibiting, would be encouraged to continue. The winner of the greatest number of points from blue, red, and white ribbons with a total of 24 points was Mrs. J. G. ReVercomb, of Peola Mills. Her many friends are delighted to congratulate Mrs. Revercomb as winner of the hand painted tray which was this year’s sweepstakes prize. With two club members making this splendid showing, others had best begin now if they aspire to “show" these two next year! Surprise Shower For Mist Gladys Reid A surprise shower was given by the Womans Society of Christian Service of the Washington Methodist church in honor of Miss Gladys Reid, Friday evening at “Rose Cottage” the home of her .parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G.

Belle Burke, district home agent was present to help the clubs in the county to decide what program they wanted for 1951.

C. Lea* Chapter Chairman. * Responding to the appeal of Basil O’Conner, National Foundation president, who recently warned that national funds for aid to Chapters would he • used up by N o v e m ber, the Rappahannock County Chapter voted at a meeting1 of ita executive board yesterday to contribute uncommitted local funds for patient care elsewhere. As of the beginning of this month, 759>of the Foundation’s 2,800 Chapters had exhausted their local treasuries in meeting costs of patient care in their localities. A sufficient Chapter balance remains, Mrs. Lea said, to continue care of all local polio patients neediug. akL j— "We have been forunate this year in Rappahannock County,” said Mrs. Lea. No cases have been reported in Rappahannock. "By sending this contribution to help other chapters whose load has been heavy this year we shall make funds available for the purpose for which they were contributed last January. Polio patients, wbereever they live, have been pledged assistance by the National Foundation if they need it, and it is the mutual responsibility of all units of the organization to see that they get it. We could be recipients of such alternative to Joint sharing of the financial re-* aponsibility this year was another public appeal. Maj.-Gen E. M. Almond Commanding Forces ' In Korea Maj.-Gen. Edward M. Almond is listed as one of three Virginians as key commanders in the Amerw can amphibious assault on Inchon and the drive inland toward Seoul* capital of South Korea. . Major-General Almond was born in Luray, his mother was Grace Popham of Slate Mills, and a cousin of Mrs. Elizabeth DeBergh, and Mrs. Jessie H. Cox, of' Washington. His father, Walter Almond, was a cousin of Wheeler J. Almond. As a youngster "Ned” Almond, as the Major-General was known around the county, visited his cousins in Rappahannock at their farm near Washington, now known as "Echo Hill,” but Miss Annie Miller Almond says the family called it "Poverty Hill." The name was changed by Mr. and Mrs. John Wirtz when they bought the place. Ned Almond graduated from Culpeper High School in the class of 1912, and attended VMI. He is now rated as an outstanding tactical officer. Corn Demonstrations Be Held September 25 In growing hybrid corn it is valuable to know which hybrid fits your condition best. Even though many people still think hybrid corn is hybrid corn, there is a difference just as there is a difference in breeds of cattle, hogs, or sheep. For these reasons several farmers of the county have planted the following corn hybrids adjacent 'to each other all of which are recommended for Rappahannock farms: Woods V-125, Southern States 303-W, Pioneer 510, Indiana 750, (all white corn); and Illinois 200, US 262, US 357, US 13, Pioneer 303, Pioneer 332 (all yellow corn).

Town Treasurer Robert L. Brown met with the ladies and agreed to help the budget committee in establishing a tentative budget for the coming year. It was with some degree of deprecation that the ladies learned that the funds of the town were not a* great as expected. When they requested it, Treasurer Brown read a list of the warrants drawn, and it was found that $2,815.14 had been spent this year prior to September 1, $1,588 of this amount spent in the month of August alone. A budget committee, composed of Miss Ruby Jenkins as chairman, and Mrs. Milton M. Hawkins, Jr., and Mrs. J. W. Price, will study the problems at hand, establish * tentative budget, and search for possible economy measures. mia. v/. >«. Miner was appointed chairman of the street committee, With Mrs. J. W. Crit'zer and Mias Elizabeth Racer as members. This committee will investigate the possibility of hiring one person on a year-round job of hauling) trash, cleaning streets, and mowing grass and trimming weeds. The council approved a project to do all possible to have the telephone toll charge removed from county phones. This was a project which had been approved by the Board of Supervisors early in the year and the council of the town of Washington voted their approve al. Washington, as the county seat, should be free of telephone toll charges to all the county citizens in order to do its part in serving the entire county. V. H. Rossen, Rappahannock representative of the Northern Virginia Power company, appeared before the council, announcing that he was now in the county to serve the people when any trouble came concerning the electric service. The council, in a special meeting two weeks ago, had requested ef tiie power company that someone be placed in the . county to better serve the interests of local citizens in case of electricity being* shut off. Prior to this it was necessary to notify the headquarters in Luray and wait for a service man to get into the county. All members of the council were present. C. 0. Oden was the only town resident present for the meeting. Children's Home Society Thanks Rappahannock A letter has been received from the office of the Children’s Home Society in Richmond expressing appreciation for the generous response from the people of Rappahannock to its annual appeal on behalf of the homeless children of the State. The total contributed to the 1950 budget to date is $159.76, compared to $126 last year. The liberal gifts from the several Sunday Schools of the county were greatly appreciated. They were: Amissville Methodist Sunday -School, $5; Amissville Baptist, $20.26; Sperryville Baptist, $10; Sperryville Methodist, $5; Assembly of God, $5. Mrs. S. E. Hening, county chairman, desires to thank all of those who responded to the appeal this year and thus made possible such a gratifying record in the interest of boys and girls whose lives are made happy by the wholesome care of the Children’s Home Society.

Those who knew Miss Hokinson’s art could visualize her bemused twinkle as she mingled with the pleased and displeased after the judging. One of her outstanding cartoons about her beloved club “girls” shows the portly president introducing a very prominent looking gentleman as the important speaker of the meeting, and admonishing him not to talk too long as several of the “girls” had had major operations that they wanted to discuss 1 Miss Hokinson’s work was all the more delightful because it was not vitrolic. She doted on her girls for she was one of them; but enjoyed prodding them with gentle digs as she saw the humor as well as the world of good intentions behind their constant “drives” for the Community Chest, Red Cross, and general welfare of the country. Could she have kept her gifted pen still as she heard one complain at last Friday’s Fun Show that her “petunia” should have been first or another bemoan her broken “coleus”? Would she not have cherisher the exhibit on “Favorite Rappahan nock Sport” which used elephant’s ear and mother-in-law’s tongue as foliage and depicted “gossip” as a favorite sport? Most likely she would have appreciated one wag’s comment that it was too bad the season was not Spring so that the “bleedingheart” might have been added! It was obvious that many visitors were amazed that Rappahannock could produce the interesting exhibits that were displayed in her first flower show. To be sure, there have been finer specimens and more exotic foliage at the bigger shows; but the work of the staging committee of Rappahannock’s show and the originality of many of the arrangements need beg for quarter from no one. It was plainly seen by the discerning that the success of the show was not due to the work of any individual, no matter how important his or her work may have been. Achievement of this order can only be realized by a combined elfort of the “team” rather than that of any “star player." Exhibiting is trouble, but well worth it. It is only on the show table that we can judge the real quality of our flowers. Pride in one’s garden is universal. Those who shun publicity in other fields are always cooperative concerning jjuouciiy ior tneir flowers. • The novice exhibitor usually becomes a better gardener, for the sh/)w room gives little chance for ',“r.-;«iat^far<feh3att:Hmes',‘'but“theT6'iS" little we can say when we find our cherished bloom or our jealously prized arrangement .ignored' by the judges who consider it inferior to its competitors. We can only decide to “show them” next tittle. B* un jroti FUSSELLS ICECREAM FUSSELL.YOUNG ICE ‘The Tim* Hoe Com*; tko Wtlru mM . . • Tis a sad day in Rappahannock when there’s no joka to tease a fellow—an<T one choice item at Washington should be shared with the entire county; though, no doubt, the news has already spread. The local ladies took over the girlie chow at the carnival last week. The facts of the story (deleted where omission contributes to the telling) run like this: (l)The girlie dances’ tent was closed after Monday night; (2) Tuesday night it rained; (3) Wednesday night three ladies—purely in the interest of the Fire Company—were doing a thriving business at the platform before the “girlie show” tent; (4) they had no "barker” to help them, but none was needed. That’s the story that was told the following morning. In all fairness to the ladies, their story shall be told. They had to sell the pies and cakes donated by the ladies of Flint Hill, and the empty stand before the door to the girlie show was the only place they could find. There was much speculation as to why the dancing show tent at the carnival was closed. After investigation the answer was plain and evident: the carnival was under the auspices of the Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department; and Fire Chief Merrill closed the show because it was discovered that young children (under 15) - were permitted to enter.'We feel" that Mr. Merrill should be complimented on his stand in not allowing the show to re-open for the remainder of the week. ¥ ¥ ¥ The lady from Flint Hill, who took a tumble weefc-before-last and didn’t break the eggs she was carrying, says the News is sorely at fault and guilty of inaccurate reporting. She was not coming from the store, she was returning from her neighbor’s home; she did not have the eggs in a sack, they were in a woven basket. Here the inaccurate reporting ends. She did fall—how well she knows that —and she didn’t break a single egg in the basket. She also admits the county paper was correct in saying she felt as if a ton o’ bricks had hit her. True, there was the hen-fruit, intact, but she was plenty bruised up by the fall. ¥ ¥ ¥ A charming story comes from our neighboring county of Madi-< son about a youngster and his first day of school. When the parents went to awaken the 6-yearold man of the household on the first morning of school, they found his bedroom empty. A general alarm was spread. “Yeah,” said a neighbor, “he went by here about 5 o’clock this morning. I trfed to get him to go home, but he said he was going to school and couldn’t talk him out of it.” One of Rappahannock’s young scohlars was not so enthusiastic. In the afternoon following his third day in the halls of learning he informed his parents that he w’as not returning to school for the fourth day. The parents finally extracted the reason; “Teacher says we’re going to read tomorrow, and you know I can’t read. Ain’t no use in my going.” Some years ago a parent told this story of the family’s 6-yearold pride and joy at the end of hi9 first day in school “Little does the teacher realize it, but today Sammy payed that school the highest compliment it’s ever received; he said he didn’t think he learned it all today, he’d better go back tomorrow.” ¥ ¥ ¥ The Colonel has called the Walrus on the carpet (woe is us. Life is just one error after another.) “You misquoted the Major in his statement made to the lady at the dance. It should have been; ‘Sus-« cuse me for protrudingfmit would you be defenden if I was to suscort yer home’?” Yes, sif, Colonel. Rappahannock Snooze suggrets the misquotation and shall detempt in the future to reprove the condition. FOOTBALL Friday, September 22 I ‘At C, H. S. Stadiupi — 8 P.M. \ Culpeper 'High School w.

Its definite purpose is to raise the standards of horticulture and floriculture in the community and in the home Amateur gardeners can be good horticulturists, and are more likely to become so if they are encouraged to compete with friends in raising or finding fine material and in using it to the best advantage. They may also learn, by taking part in a good flower show, the fine points of difference between the ordinary and the distinguished. Another purpose of the show is to develop the aesthetic sense of exhibitors and visitors alike by skillfully displaying beautiful flowers and foliage and by fine arrangements. There are many persons who are surprisingly ignorant of the infinite variety of plant material to be found in a well-kept garden or along waysides or in woodlands. Especially in arrangement classes, the love of beauty inherent in every individual is fedi and nurtured. The arrangement classes in the Rappahannock show created a greet deal of interest. An outstanding lesson learned in these classes is: "it isn’t what you have that counts; it’s how you use it.” Arrangement class 2 was an outstanding feature of the recent show. The theme of this class was “Fun Rappahannocl^’^ftnd was woft by Mrs. R. M. Menefee’s fox-** hunting exhibit, which went on to win the coveted tricolor award. This award is a definite boost to the Garden Club. The subtly blended dried materials used were-golden rod, sumac, yarrow, and a white weed with a small spray of hemlock arranged within a wea-> ther-gnarled tree and stump on one side and fox-hunting figurines on the other. Second in this class was won by - Mrs. J. G. Revercomb’s striking exhibit depicting squirrel hunting,' attractively displayed on a white oak burl base. A very realistic snake, whose coloring blended per-* feetly into the arrangement of yellow celosia, cattails, wayside grasses, and hibiscus pods, together with the utilization of mellein weed as a center of interest added greatly to the appeal of this number. In fact, the first two awards in this class would seem to belie Whittier’s verse: ,; ‘‘Art’s perfect forms no moral need, And beauty is its own excuse; But for the dull and flowerless weed Some healing virtue still must plead.” _ The third ribbon went to Mrs. Field Benton’s charming arrangement which colorfully represented fishing by the clever use of foliage and berries of mountain ash, bit-' tersweet, and elderberry within a creel container. Honorable mention was given two exhibits in this class: Mrs. George Davis’ portrayal of dancing, featuring a nosegay of abelia and ageratum, centered with a pink dahlia, arranged behind a fan with the same coloration and Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia WED. - THUR., SEPT 20-21 BOB HOPE -m'Great Lover” FRIDAY, SEPT. 22 BARBARA STANWYCK —in— “Thelma Jordan” SATURDAY, SEPT. 23 DONALD WOODS «i 'Barbary Pirate** , I V .. - SUNDAY, SEPT. 24 JAMES DUNN ' 'V —in— v “Golden Glove* Story” MON. - TUES., SEPT. 25 - 26 JOAN CAULFIELD WILLIAM HOLDEN —in— “Dear Wife** WEDNESDAY, SEPT.

' Distinction should be given all of the arrangements in this clam. Many enjoyed Mrs. R. L. Massie’s inimitable suggestion of gossip ad a favorite indoor sport. For this original arrangement, Mrs. Massie used elephant’s ear and motherin-law’s tongue crowned by tiny purple asters. To one side was a picture of two old ladies talking, and on the display table was the following writing, which only Mrs, Massie could have conceived: “I didn’t aster, but her tongue started wagging—and my ears pricked up; then we went into our favorite sport.” Perhaps one has to live within the boundaries of Rappahannock to appreciate fully the appropriateness of Mrs. R. V. Snead’s ar, rangement of card playing as a favorite sport. A colorful floral arrangement within a modernistic to bey jug acted as background for the beautiful hand of cards (spot ted lavishly) and the inevitable accessory to the game: an ashtray filled with charred cigar and cigarette butts. Mrs. James Settle had a molt attractive arrangement featuring fishing, as did Mrs. E. M. Jones and Mrs. Lucio Kilby on bird hunting. Others in this class which were enjoyed and received much favorable comment were Mrs. Emily Miller’s fox-hunting arrangement, Mrs. Zuliene Sealock’s sewing, Mrs. Jean Gallihugh’s sleighing, and Mrs. Aubrey Key* 0i<*’ rocH*n§ chiii: suggestion, ~ Inoculation Adviced For Legume Seed % Inoculate all legume seed before planting, particularly if the crop has not been grown previously in the field to be planted. That’s the advice from S. B. Fenne, plant pathologist at VPI, who says that inoculation with a suitable nodule-forming bacteria often will pay big dividends. In the peanut aera, on low pH soils, the nodule-forming bacteria do not grow very well. So cover crops there should be inoculated, even though they have been grown before on the same soil.

Vat ion Dictrict. Soil Conservation Service Technicians assisted by R., M. Menefep, delivered, the fish to the various farms from the fish hatchery. Those receiving fish in Rappahannock county included: J. K. Vardaman, Washington; Elmer J. ‘ Nolls, Washington; Charles E. Marsh, Washington; J. Hill O'Bannon, Woodville; Douglas Smith, Washington and Front Royal; and R. M. Menefee, Sperryville. Culpeper county farmers included: Rochester Ropes, Culpeper; E. G. King, Rixeyville; A. D. Scott, Elkwood; J. Walton Loving, * Culpeper; James Broyles, Brandy and J. Carlton Clore, Culpeper. The ponds are being fertilized, at the rate of 200 lbs*, of an 8-8-2 per acre or its approximate equivalent. Regular commercial fertilizer may be used if the nitrogen units are brought up to equal the phosphate units in the formula. The last application of fertilizer in the fall should not be applied later than October 1. The first application in the spring should be made in early April. Care should be taken not to allow fishing in newly stocked' ponds until after the large mouth black bass have spawned. This will be the first spring after the bass have grown to a size of 8 or 9 . inches in length. After the first spawning fishing may be done any time during the year. Most farm ponds indicate the lack of -fishing^ rather than over-fishing. -- V New Hunting Safety Posters Released Virginia’s hunters are due for some new reminders of hunting safety this year, according to J. J. Shomon, Chief of the Education Division of the Commission o f Game and Inland Fisheries. Six new posters, each stressing some point in hunting, safety, have been distributed in large numbers to game wardens throughout the state, with instructions to post in most conspicuous places in their counties during the “period from the 1st to 15 or September. The new posters are waterproof, printed in red, black, yellow and white, and put put their safety message across in a humorous manner. Posted along secondary roads an<J in known hunting areas, they are expected- to-serve as con Blueberry Studies Underway At V P I High bush blu«berries may he expected to thrive in Southwestern Virginia if they are grown under a sawdust mulch and given ample nitrogen. Reporting on teste underway at ' Virginia Experiment Station, Researchers R. C. Moore and G. D. Oberle say blueberry plants grown under mulch and given about twice the usual amount of nitro-. gen fertilizer produced a good crop of fruit last year, and a heavy crop is in prospect for 1950. In other parts of the State, it has been noted that use of sawdust mulch and nitrogen appreciably increases the fruit crop. The researchers listed the vari- % % eties Jersey, Harding, Rubel, andjj Burlington as making the best showing in the tests at VPL . > Lime Any Time Says P. M. A. Farmers of Rappahannock county are advised to lime their land any time now even though it may be some time yet before winter cover crops are seeded. H. S. Barksdale, chairman of the PMA county committee says lime benefits land most when it has had a chance to become thoroughly mixed after several cultivations. The chairman added that taking delivery of lime at this time of year instead of in spring helps to spread out the operating load of lime plants. * It’s also about time for farmers to begin checking on conservation. practices which they plan bo carry out this fall. He suggests that farmers not delay in making arrangements for seed and fertilizer in connection with fall seeded crops which qualify for pay- ^ ments under the Agricultural Conservation Program. . ^ stant reminders of the need for care at all times in the handling of firearms.
