H. Lyne * County Agent Buy your chicks from “a hatchcry that is in the Virginia National Poultry Improvement Plan. These hatcheries are inspected for sanitation, type and weight of eggs set, and for quality of the chicks and poultry produced. Likewise, the breeding flocks are inspected at intervals during the breeding season to insure that they remain in good health. Under the National Poultry Improvement Plan there are three clasiflcations as to breeding and two classifications as to health or freeness from the only disease that can-be carried from the hen through the egg to the chick: this is Pullorum disease or white diarrhea. , ~r~' The breeding stages or classifications are: - * . - 1. “Virginia U. S. Approved”-' chicks are produced from-flocks in which the males and females have been rigidly and thoroughly selected for constitutional vigor, standard bred and production qualities and banded by state inspectors.---r- spectors.---r2. “Virginia U. S. Certified’* chicks are produced from flacks that fulfill all the requirements of the U. S. Approved fllocks and are mated to individually pedijl greed U.S. R.O.P. males. - 3. “U. S. Record of Performance** chicks are produced from U. S. Record of Performance females and U. S. R.O.P. single male mating^ : - 7. ■ . 7. .' 7; "~7' The Pullorum control stages or classes are: 1. “Pullorum - Passed Flocks** permits no tolerance in the official recognition of the flock. For example, if a flock should vhave a slight infection when first tested, it may be treated until ho reactors appear, at which time it is recognised as a Pullorum-Passed flock. V':./-. if:'.; 2. “Pullorqm-C lean Flocks? mean all breeders shall be tested for pullorum disease when more than four months of age and shall -contain no reactors on the -first' test made within six months immediately preceeding the date of first sale of hatching eggs, poults, dr breeding stock form such flocks. >. For example, if a hatchery is listed as U. S. Approved Pullorum Passed, this means it is, in the first ' breeding stage (standard . bred, selected for individuality, but production capabilities of parent stock is not known) and from teh health standpoint, parent flocks have been tested and contain no reactors. Remember to look for the official state label, Remember in the heavy breeds there are strains bred .for broiler production and others for egg production. Specify which you want when placing your order. Remember ORDER * FROM NEARBY HATCHERY OF GOOD REPUTATION CO-OPERATING IN THE VIRGINIA NATIONAL POULTRY IMPROVEMENT PLAN. , A 1950 list of these hatcheries may be seen at the county agent’s ofice and the homes of Miss Nellie Johnson, Mrs. Ada N.

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 Good Music Will Be Good Influence ' It seems that the interest is growing in the Blue Ridge Music Festival. This is a move toward a high ideal and if it proves to he the success we are hoping, it will prove to be a great influence for good with the coming generation. There are so many places of amusement and of sice that aae influencing our young and old that we wonder what we are coming to. To place before our boys and girls the higher ideals of music, and the possibility that they can do something worthwhile in producing this kipd of music will be fine. To bring this to our community, to our own back door, ■Will be wonderful. Surely any father or mother would be proud i of that son or that daughter who could do this.

Harvey Daily. Letter To Editor I don’t believe in public schools -—that is, as they now are. I believe in equal oportunities for education, yes; but I think that the schools should be for those capable of taking “book learning,” and let those whose talents do not fall along that line be apprenticed to a trade. I think that schools should not have to lower standards constantly to meet the lower' level of intelligence, and that the brighter children should not be held back to the pace of their slower companions. It appears that the “ten per - cent” you mentioned in an edi-. torial last week—those who wanted the Latin and grammar schooling—are the neglected students in these present school. A school diploma should mean honest accomplishment or else it should read: ‘This certifies that (and fill in the name) has sat in Rappahannock High School for eleven years. The school assumes no responsibility for what he (or she) has not learned.” A Reader. Letter to Editor An interesting proposal was made by a voter and taxpayer in last week’s paper: the proposal to take Rappahannock High School graduates to Front Royal. What leason is there to believe that the parents want their children to ride 15 to 18 miles farther than they are already traveling? Or upon what authority does one presume that Front Royal would be willing or able to take these Rappahannock pupils into a Warren County school already “bursting its seams”? Who arrived at the f 2 increase * given as the tax to be paid in case the proposed building project goes through in Rappahannock? . is not this. Jumping the gun”on been made? No plan for a school building has been accepted, as yet; no bid has been made, no contract has been written. Another interesting statement was that 921,000 had been spent this past year in Rappahannock to make the county jail “escape „ Proof.” If a county can afford to spend 921,000 to house approxl: mately a half-dozen or so' miscreants a year, it can well afford to help build a high school to ae- • HAMPTON INN - .

Letter Tg Editor ON CONSOLIDATION No community will ever go back to the one room school. Times have changed. After the supply of a few local teachers is ex* hausted, there will be no teacher to go into these one room schools. Ask any superintendent, supervisor, or other person in the school business about what success he is having with teacher replacements in the one room schooL, A young teacher with any ability at all will not accept a position in a one or two room school in an isolated community when other schools are eager for her services in far more desirable teaching situations. Over consolidation may have its attendant evils, but this problem cannot be solved by any auch over-simplification as a return to the horse and buggy days of education. A return to the one room school may be classified as' a pleasant, nostalgic thought.

A true test of your good rearing comes when you have to endure the ravings of the perfect mechanic, the brilliant doctor (minus the M.D.), the master printer, or the best parent. The perfect mechanic changed a tire on an auto once, so he knows all there is to know about a car. The brilliant doctor (minus the M.D.) has just finished reading an article in a magazine on medicine, so he knows all and can diagnose any ill. ' The master printer worked for a week as general fcrrand boy in a print' shop, and he feels qualified to tell the printer exactly how it should be done. The best parent, who can tell you where you made all your mistakes in dealing with jrour offspring, never had any children of his own. No doubt the farmers and orchardists of the county could sound off oh this same subject when they get visits and advice from some “smarty” who has read aU there is .to know about a farm or orchard, but has neglected to work a single day at the job. * * - * There’s one more famous G.I. in Korea. I hope some of our local boys meet him. That’s the fellow, having just returned from 57 days in part of the Red trap, found a letter from his draft board in Washington, D.

Officials pointed out that for the first time since the enactment of the Virginia Operators and Chauffeurs License Act in 1932 all operators licenses are now expiring and will expire in the birth month of the licensee. The Division advises-’that all persons <who have in their possession a Virginia operators license that they exmine this license carefully for expiration date, as six out of every ten licenses now valid will expire this year. The licensee’s birth month is the key to the expiration of his license and it would be advisable to apply^ to the Division for renewal not later than the first day of the licensee’s birthday month. As an alternative, the licensee may apply sixty days before the expiration of his permit. One official pointed out that there are several ways that the licensee can assist the Division in expediting the issuance of his license and avoid delay in getting the renewed license in his hands. The important steps to remember are: 1. Check carefully the expiration date of your present operators license. Do not apply for renewal more than sixty days before expiration date. Remember your permit will expire the last day of your birth month. J’" 2. Secure an application for renewal of your operators license. Renewal applications may be obtained from Division of Motor Vehicles License Agents, License Examiners or by writing direct to the Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O. Box 1298, Richmond, Virginia. 3. Make sure that your application.is executed in every detail, in . BLACK INK before mailing. Be positive that your signature appears at the top of your application. 4. It is essential that your correct Expiring Operators License number appears in the space provided on your application. This is the large number, located in the upper right hand corner of your expiring permit. 5. Do not'send your remittance in the form of cash, coin or stamps. In this connection, Commissioner C. P. Joyner, Jr. pointed out that in View of the volume of work that must be handled by the Division, in connection with the renewal of more than six hundred thousand during the year, the coofieration of the motoring public is highly essential. He also laid stress on the fact that operators licenses are renewed at the discretion of the Division and any applicant for sue' a license may be required to undergo and pass ~ the regular operator’s examination before a renewal of his permit is granted.

' : ■ I V-v,. Tune To Reconsider Orchard Fertilization By Wesley P. Judkins, VPI Every orchardist knows that green leaves and at least moderate ahoot growth are necessary if large crops of fancy fruit are to he produced. The problem facing the grower is to properly balance his fertilizer program so that max. imum yields are secure<|. This balance involves a critical consideration of the amount and kinds of fertilizer which are applied, the soil type upon which the orchard is located, and the growth status of the" trees. Basic Fertilisation Program \ For Apples and Peaches ' It might be well at the start to outline a basic program for orchard fertilization which can be modified to fit the soil conditions and growth status of an individual situation. ” In general, apply trees in Virginia require an annual application of about one-fourth pound of a 20 per cent nitrogen fertilizer for each year of age. In othe/ words, a 12-year-old tree needs about three pounds 2and a 20year-old tree about 6 pounds of ammonium sulfate or similar strength nfaterial. Peach trees need to grow more vigorously than apples if they are to produce large yields. Therefore it is advisable to apply about one-third pound of the 20 per cent nitrogen material per year qf age rather than the one-ofurth pound suggested for apples. If ammonium nitrate fertilizer having an analysis of 32-34 per cent nitrogen is used, apply about three-fourths of the application suggested for ammonium sulfate. With this basic recommendation in lhind, we should now consider how tiie amount must be varied to meet different soil and growth conditions. . • As most fruit growers appreciate, nitrogen is the principal fertilizer element which is needed in Virginia orchards. On light soils potassium, magnesium, and boron may also be needed. These materials should be used cm small trial areas to determine their '“slue before a complete fertilizer is applied to the entire orchard. Growers in the eastern UnitedStates have spent thousands of dollars -for complete fertilizers which in many cases were not needed by the trees. Phosphorus may be of value in promoting the growth of cover crops but there is no evidence of it being deficient as far as the trees a. e concerned.

The fine soil particles serve as reservoirs 5 for nutrients which"’ plants need for growth. Even though silt and clay soils are the most fertile, a considerable quantity of coarse particles such as sand must be present to promote> drainage. On the other hand, soils which are predominately sandy or gravelly are nfertile and plants on auch soils may develop deficiencies of potassium, magnesium, or boron. Orchards on such sites must receive extra amounts of nitrogen. As waa suggested previously, the grower should also apply a light application of potassium, magnesium, and boron to a few trees to see if they respond to such treatment. Growth Status of tho Tree • The vigor of the trees In the orchard must be considered in planning the fertilisation program. Young bearing age apple trees should make a terminal growth of 12 to 15 inches each year. As the trees become older good production may be maintained with 8 to 10 inches of growth. Peach trees during their early bearing years should make a ter„ “inal growth of about 16 to 18 inches each year. During their older years this growth may be reduced to 0 or 12 inches. The orchard manager should watch his trees and vary the fertiliser program to maintain the (Sw ORCHARD page 3) J CANDIES Mo** • k*ort — ||vt NORRIS Caqoitlt* Condi** In^oy **!**■ nvwnii cxqvifif# Condi** •apron your knM thought*, toying "Will you b* my Vol*ntin*T" in an uniorg*t*ebi« nornnl .'V » SHINER’S i DRUG STORE Front Royal, Virginia Pitts’ Culpeper Theatres Pitts’ Theatre Showa Daily at 7j1S and 9:00 Matinaaai Tuesday, Thursday at 3t30; Saturday, 2i00 Adults 29c plus 6c tax—36c Children 13c plus 8c tax—16c THURSDAY, FEB. 8 ALEXIS SMITH SCOTT BRADY * —in— “Undercover Girl” ^ Also Cartoon-Novelty - v PBL - S4T., FSB. 9 • 10 , GARY COOPER ' LAUREN BACALL —In— “Bright Leaf w **ir»tes of tbe High Bom No. 13 SUNDAY - MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11-12 * RED SKELTON — ARLENE DAHL -z “WATCH THE, BIRDIE” .

ORCHARDS (Coatiaaed from Page 2) desired amount of growth which insures the best production. If too much nitrogen is applied, the trees may he too vegetative and produce large poorly colored fruit. If trees lack; adequate nitrogen, the leaves will be light green and the fruit small. - * Soil Compared to Foliage Application of Nitrogen During recent years resealrck workers have given cinsiderablei attention to the spraying of nutrient elements on the leaves of plants. This method of application has been used successfully with a number of minor elements such as sine and copper. Nitrogen in the form of urea spray has given favorable response with apple trees, especially on the McIntosh variety in New York. On .the* basis of these favorable results many growers have requested in* formation on this method of fertilizing their orchards. Although the application of minor elements to trees, in spray form is a commercial practice on citrus trees in Florida and some other sections of the country, it seems doubtful that the- entire amount of nitrogen - needed by apple trees eould be supplied in this way. Fruit trees need from 400 to 600 times as much nitro_ gen as they do of minor elements such as zinc or copper. It is questionable whether the leaves are capable of absorbing such a large amount of i itrogen in the form of spray. - . The bulk of the nitrogen fertilizer needed by the trees should therefore be applied to the soil.Then, during years of heavy production or when excessive rain-. fall has leached the nitrogen from the ground, supplemental applications may be made as a urea spray on the leaves. The nitrogen applied in this wey is readily absorbed by the leaves of apple trees and will be utilized immediately to overcome any deficiency which Walch For Mite Infestations In Orchard Contrd Early Inspect your orchards now to forestall mite injury. That’s the advice coming from O. W. Underhill, associate entomologist at Virginia Experiment tation, who says orchardmen should not wait for foliage injury to show before thinking about the mite problem. Generally, when leaves begin to bronze, it is too late to spray profitably. The European red mite is now - in the egg stage (red-colored eggs more or less in clusters) oh the underside of limbs and spurs, mostly at or near crotches. The 4-spot, or Schoenei mite is wintering as pink females in clusters under loose bark on the trunk and large limbs. Anyone can learn to spot these danger signals. A pocket hand-lens is nice to have; but good eyesight and a bright day are usually enough. • ^ . The relative numbers of the European red mite eggs or 4-spot females indicate the period and degree df possible danger to the foliage later. It is important to know whether or not they are numerous and generally spread in order to take proper and timely may be developing. The recommended method of application is to mix 5 pounds of urea per 100'gallons of water in any of the various sprays which are applied to the tree after the leaves have developed. The number of sprays containing nitrogen which should be applied depends on the need of the trees for nitrogen and their age. A mature tree receiving 20 gallons of the above •pray would get one pound of urea fertilizer which would be about 40 per cent of the totals recommended nitrogen application for a 20-year-old tree. The urea spray is not absorbed by peach leaves and therefore should not be’ applied to such trees. / • l "••"•mmtmmmmpmm iiiiiinmnmTiinniininitsmiimr—rrmimirniniTimiimiiiiHiiiiniiiii.iiiiiiiiiimmnr DIAMONDS It it & well known fact that a large percent of diamonds that are cut and told are not perfect.

This is particularly true with the red mite, yhich in such cases, is certain to bronze the foliage in June. _ Inspecting a few terminal twigs on two or three sides of one tree out of six to ten, zigzagging across different areas of the orchard, usually will be enough to spot the red mite. Examining loose bark in crotches of large limbs, in the same manner, will be enough to find the 4-spot. If there are large numbers of the pest, do something about .it early. If none, or few, are present perhaps no action is necessary. The intermediate degrees of in* festation are difficult, if not impossible, to forecast. Mites may build up to the bronzing stage in mid or late season, or they may not. Later checking can take care of those conditions. Where there is danger of early season damage, take one of three preventive steps: use a dormant oil spray containing at least 3 per cent actual “regular” type dormant oil, or 2 per cent “superior” oil in 100 gallons; a delaped dormant oil spray using the same materials; or a petal-fall application of. a phosphate insecticide, recommended as an alternate in the" Virginia Spray Bulletin. Two season’s tests at the experiment station have indicated that the petal-fall spray is a good alternative for dormant oils. The petal-fall spray is the first chance to go after the 4-spot mite, since all wintering female mites will be out on the underside of the- basal leaves, mostly on water sprouts and inner region of the tree. The underside of leaves should be sprayed carefully for control of both species of mites.

This Gutenberg Bible is the first substantially complete copy to be unearthed in this century and only the forty-sixth discovered in the past 500 years. Scribners. Are Owners It is now the property of Charles Scribner’s Sons, which paid ^between “$106,000 and $151000” for the Bible and is understandably excited about it. “It is not only the first book and the first edition of the greatest of all books,” says the firm. ‘It is also a masterpiece of the printer’s pre, which has' seldom been equalled and never surpassed. For book collectors, it is of course, the supreme treasure of all treasures. For the ordinary person, in any country, it is one of the greatest monuments of Christendom.” This two-volume copy has been “lost since 1824, as far*as most collectors were concerned. It was found only a month ago by John Carter, Scribner’s English agent, in a private library of a country house outside of London. Its purchase was finally settled Thursday, and the book was brought to New York bv nlnne. P. P. Adams, Jr., director of the Morgan Library in New York, which also has two copies of the Gutenberg Bible, said the latest copy to be found is “without question the real thing.” Scribner’s says it also was authenticated by the British Museum, in London. Of all the people who have handled the Gutenberg Bible, the man who probably made the least of it was Johann Gutenberg. Gutenberg, “the father of modern printing,” died in debt. Around 1450 he prjnlfsd the first book in history with movable type. This was the Bible, of which, it is believed he probaly made about 180 copies. Until last month, only 45 copies were definitely known to be still in existence. The United States had 12. The remainder were scattered among great libraries and collecters in Europe. The record price ever paid for any book was the $151,000 which the “Bay Psalm,” first book printed in America, bought at auction in 1948. Entertain Bridge Club . Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Wise Use of Litne Urged • By W. H. Lyno, Cownty Ayrat Liming materials are considered the key that makes the major plant food elements. available to plants. Soil analysis is an effec' tive means of determining whether there is sufficient lime present to make the plant food in your soil or to keep those applied through the use of fertilisers available. ‘ - Lime unlocks the soil by sweetening it. Some plants need sweeter soils than others if they are tp give the farmer a worthwhile yield. This sweetness or sourness is referred to by soil chemists as pH. These chemists working in conjunction with the agronomist have found at which pH range, plants render their best performance. For example, a coil that is well drained and having a pH range of 6.5-7.5 is sufficient for good alfalfa production, while a pH of 6.0 to '7.0 is satisfactory for' grains and clovers produced here in Rappahannock. , Actually, a soil having a pH of 7.0 is neither acid nor alkaline, above 7 is alkaline, while 7.0 is seid. How far below 7.0 reveals the degree of acidity, or sourness, ,*• or how tightly the door to successful crop production is locked. 1 To be sound any chemical test depends upon tile area for which it was de—eloped. Our soil Should be tested by the agronomy department of VPI at Blacksburg or be sent to the Commissioner of Agriculture at Richmond. After analysis or results of the test have 1 been received, a farmer knows, whether or not he needs lime or which analysis fertilizer should be. applied to the particular crop concerned. Recent TmU Reveal No Lime Needled Several Rappahannock fanners have Recently taken advantage of this free service. They wanted to do the job right, yet not one want. «d to spend money unnecessarily. Here -are some of the cases. ^r: (1) Henry Wood of Woodville has ten acres of land recently purchased which he wants to put in Orchard Crass . . . Ladino clover pasture. Ladino Clover calls for' a pH of 6.0-7.0 and 600-1000 lbs. of fertilizer. The soil from Henry's held had a pH of .6.5 thus it .was Just right in so far as sweetness* was concerned. Its calcium -and magnesium portent were each _ ‘good’ therefore he’ll not need ‘ lime now nor will any be need-, ed for the next 4 or 6 years. Phosphate content was “fair minus" while the potash content was ‘poor’. These results indicated a combination of fertilizers were needed, C'us, Mr. Wood will use 600 lbs. per acre of an 0-10-20 fertilizer before seed bed preparation to kick the potash up a bit as Ladino likes potash and 6-400 lbs. of borated 6-12-12 at seeding. He has spent his fertilizer dollar' most effectively and learned no lime was needed at all. i ^ : (2) Hood Vfayland, whose farm is located near Five Forks had limed a 7.0 acre held he plans to put in Alfalfa he too wanted to know; whether enough lime had been applied, whether it had be- _ come available, since Alfalfa is ' long lived crop would any additional lime he needed in the next few years, and what analysis fertilizer should be used and how much. Results ... no lime needed now nor for several* years. The best fertiliser he could use . v .' *600 lbs. 0-10-20 plowed under and 4-000 lbs. borated 2-12-12 at seedfay. .''T (3) Dr. Easthain who looks after Miss Nannie Dealing's farm operations found out that no lime was needed on one field where orchard grass—Ladino was to be seeded while another to be seeded to the same crop needed lime badly. As'to fertilizer the same analysis suited each field. (4) H. L. Manwaring, who purchased the Rudasill farm, drew soil samples in the correct manner from sSr fields. No liming, fertilizing or production history was known on any of the fields. Results: be knows which fields should be limed this year... preferably at once . . which while sweet enough now will call for lime before seeding a clover on the crop land in rotation. He can budget his lime and fertilizer more accurately and intelligently. (5) Jim Yates was concerted over what be would need for successful crop production on the Finks farm. Tests on three fields revealed to be on the border line others a bit more than desirable however calcium and magnesium content ran ‘fair* to ‘good plus’. Only one tone of lime per acre would bring the soil to where be wants it. ",.v ~ ,■ (6) General Osterman who looks after Mrs. Gordon’s farm operations brought in soil samples from Hire fields. One sample had a pH „ of 7.1 (believe it or not) and calcium and magnesium content were both very good; Another field was just a litle under this ... no lime needed for several years. A third field was way 'down . . . hungry for lime while two others were border line cases as to present conditions but one of these should have more than the other because of succeeding crops to.be grown. Now, I have no reason to worry over what these men plan to do. They • will spend their fertilizer and lime dollars wisely. They will make sound use &f aid and material available through our local PM. program. These results are a cross section of tests made just recently by men who .are operating their farms ih the PMA program. They show„ as a result of PMA materials used in years past, that promiscuous use of lime or careless fertilizer orders can mean money spent unwisely. Getting a soil sample is a job farmers can-do easily an)] quickly . . . for details contact your county agent’s office or other professional agricultural workers of the county. At present results can be had in about a (week's time but don’t put it off until the last minute. The State laboratories previously mentioned can handle only so many samples the rush season Will soon be upon them, and because of the .increased demand for fertilizer . . . Plan ahead and plan wisely. Entertains At Dinner_ * Mr. and Mrs. B. M.

Wearer A Son) The Old Nichol House w By Mary Elisabeth Hit* Much has been said about the burveying and naming of our .“First Washington,” but little has been said about the «first house in this town. . The “Old Nichol House” still stands. It is not what it used to be but there are still traces of beauty. Open wide the door to 4 imagination and the vision comes of a once beautiful colonial cottage, using a quotation from ah authority on such, it is described as “beautiful in line and proportion and planted with taste and a real feeling for design.” It is built of logi, which would establish its antiquity. Latef it was weatherboarded over. The ancient . boxwood about it lends an air of distinction. It was before 1800 that Michael Nichol brought his family to live in this house. He had married Sarah, daughter of Henry Miller JI of “Sunnyside," and his wife, Achsah Warner. This Henry was the son of Henry the pioneer, who built the first stone house “of which there is not one stone left upon another.” . Living in the cottage after the War Between the States were two maiden sisters of the Niehol family. The pioneer business women 'of Rappahannock county were they! In their own home they opened a milinery store and you can, I am sure, imagine how the ladies of the town and neighborhood loved to gather, here and try on bonnets. There is a gentleman living in the county who tells this story of his boyhood. He then lived several miles from town. His mother would lend him to the various ladies, living close by, as escort and protector on their way to buy spring bonnets. Bitting behind the lady on a horse, he would have his “eye skinned” to see if other boys were looking. One day the lady took so long to fiind the most becoming hat that when they Teached her home “the shades of evening were stealing across the sky.” • The brave protector of ladies must go through a woods to reach his own home. He ran so fast he stumped his toe and .fell down, losing the piece of money the lady had given him. No loss since has ever seemed half so big as this loss of his piece of money in the leaves of the woods that night.

Sutphin, of Winchester, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on January 29, with a party at their home, for members of their immediate family. \ .The Sutphins were married on January 29, 1901, at Fawcetts Gap, Va., by the Presbyterian minister, the Rev. A. J. Link, of Strasburg. Mrs. Sutphin is the former Miss Lula C. Funkhouser, of Fawcetts Gap. Mr. Sutphin is from Flint Hill, where they resided after their marriage until 1922, when they moved to Winchester. Mr. Sutphin is a retired civil engineer and did much surveying through this section of the States **They have .five daughters: Mrs. Marye S. Jones, ‘Mrs. C. Bruce Harloe, Mrs. D. O.

'Registration Cards Prepared For 1951 Auto License Rush The State Division of Motor Vehicles is being alerted for the greatest license plate rush in history. More than 1,000,000 registration cards are being processed in the rate of 3,700 an hour on two addressing machines, G. F. Joyner, Jr., DMV commissioner, said yesterday. These cards, necessary before a license can be issued, will be mailed out beginning March 10 so as to reach Virginia car owners before March 15 when the sale will begin. Accompanying he registration cards will be two application blanks for operators’ licenses just in case they will be needed in the near future. A large percentage of the operators’ permits will expire this year and will have to be renewed, Joyner explained. One of the application' blanks will be for the male member of the family and the other for his wife should she require one, a DMV official explained. Along with the mailing out of the 1,090,000 or more registration cards a good size headache is in the making, Joyner reported. The big problem that the DMV has to contend with every year is changed addresses. People move and fail to ndtify the. DMV of their new locations so the’ registration card for the fern lly vehicle goes to the old address and eventually finds its way back to DMV headquarters if the party in question is not located by the ' postman. W, Comes time to obtain his license, plate and then the head of the family raises a howl. He calls the DMV and asks why he didn’t receive his registration card. -The DMV says it mailed the card out bilt it was returned for lack of a propqr address. Now all of this adds up to a lot of confusion, Joyner said. Con- _ fusion that he would like to eliminate right now, so he is advising 'motorists to check with the DMV immediately on all add re s s changes. His advice is particularly aimed at Richmond motorists who have been a mite slow these days in notifying him of address changes. Here’s the information the DMV wants on address changes; new' address, title number, make and motor number, 1950 license number and name as shown on the * 1950 registration card. “Prompt compliance with this request will assure motorists that :• 1 1 11 < ..

If you picked a car just for the lift it gives you— your pride in its power—or its generous comfort— you couldn’t make a better choice. But make note of this: That gleaming new push-bar forefront, which greets your eye with flashing beauty, contains 25 grille bars made of stamped steel, individually mounted to "give” and come back unharmed.

SPRAGUE, M.D. T* President, American Heart Association —— — Among the that money cannot buy la a_ new heart to replace a sick one. But money can Dr. 8prague for our hearts, ] for the hearts of our family, friends, and community. The 1951 Heart Fund, which is being conducted throughout February, offers the American public an opportunity to aid In a . very pracucai ana effective way In the fight to protect the hearts of all . our citizens against heart and circulatory disease. The heart diseases directly affect at least 10,000,000 men, women and children In this country, causing some 637,000 deaths annually, or more than 44% of the total yearly-death toll. Thus, since heart disease la the leading disabler and destroyer of life, it constitutes the most challenging ~ public health problem facing America today. j Jo help deal with this challenge aggressively and effectively, the American Heart Association and its affiliates are seeking public support for a three-sided program of research, education, and community cardiac services. Priority In this program goes to research, without which no substantial progress can be achieved. That Is why the American Heart Association is dedicated primarily to producing fundamental scientific •advances in the cardiovascular field. Contributions to the 1961 Heart Fund represent, in great part, an Investment In research with an expected return la basic knowledge of the causes and prevention of heart disease. A major portion of funds received from the public is earmarked for scientific investigation. During the past year, $419,000 was expended by the American Heart Association and an additional $600,000 by Its affiliates on. research. ] Research support has made possible significant progress in syrglcal treatment of abnormalities of the heart and circulation, prevention of recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever through penicillin prophylaxis, the Use of anticoagulant drugs to decrease deaths caused by coronary heart disease, ACTH and cortisone £. in the treatment of rheumatic fever and similar diseases, and the knowledge of cholesterol molecules in the blood, which may furnish additional dues to the cause of hardening of the arteries. Education of professional groups and of the public, and stimulation of well-conceived programs of community cardiac services, putting to use available knowledge and existing resources, are two other basic objectives of the Association and its . affiliates. Professional education brings the physician up to date regarding scientific and clinical advances, aiding him in the early recognition, diagnosis, and treat- , ment of heart diseases. Lay education helps eliminate harmful fears, encourages the individual to seek early medical care, turns him toward rehabilitation instead of wasteful invalidism. Continued progress in controlling heart disease will be assured through public support of the 1961 Heart Fund drive. "New Hope for Hearts" depends upon the gener* osity of the American heart, and the value we place upon it Since pasture is your lowest cost feed, it's good economy to use only top quality legumes and grass seed in making pastures.

Production Many old neglected grape vines in Virginia eould be brought back to productivity with fertilization And pruning, says Bruce Aroian, associate horticulturist at VPI. Remarkable improvement usual- , ly can be seen the first year, but ' it may require tyro years to complete the job, Aroian says. Here is his advice: ‘ Remove the tangled growth from its supports, cutting away obviously unwanted parts, and • spread it on the ground. Such a vine usually contains dead wood which should be removed. If the vine is reasonably vigorous, some of its older branches will be extremely long. From these branches the fruiting canes are produced at .intervals. Try to keep the fruiting wood as near to the trunk as possible. Cut the older branches back moderately the first year to a suitable fruiting cane. Leatre a renewal spur nearer the trunk so more of the old wood may be removed the following year. About six fruiting canes cut back to about eighht buds can be left, and the rest of the vine cut away. Often the old wood is so large that a saw is needed to remove it. . It is sometimes necessary to renew old vines where the trunk has become crooked and bent, and has perhaps deteriorated from disease. If the root is healthy, such renewal can usually be done by bringing a new shoot from near the ground. The old trunk may be removed at once, or may be left to fruit for one or two seasons until the new cane is ready to take its place. < Train the new shoot up to‘the top wir& as rapidly as possible in the same manner as a newly planted vine. Remove any side shoots^— except those-needed for new arms •when they are not more than a few inches long. Egg Price Drop MayContinue The steady decline in egg prices, which has prevailed since midDecember, is expected to continue until spring, says D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist, VPI. However, the egg price outlook for 1951 is much improved over earlier predictions, he says, Even with the mid-December . drop, the average price in Virginia t of 62.5 cents a dozen was 18.5 cents above a year earlier. The number of layers in farm flocks, although declining seasonally, has dropped compared to last year at so rapid a rate that new estimates of egg prices and production-in 1971 will be necessary, Livermore says. The number of chicks be raised for flock replacements may also^increase with more favorable prices. The new “outlook” for USDA, expected to be out in February, likely will view the situation in * light of the 4 per cent drop in - potential layers, reported January 1, Livermore believes. The reduction now in potential layers is twice that on which the earlier outlook was based.

Pastures will be the key word in Virginia agriculture this year. F. Hv DeHart, Extension agronomist at VPI, says farmers throughout the state are making plans to participate in the 1951 Virginia pasture clubs. The » trend toward grassland farming is in line with Virginia’s rapid shift to a livestock economy, and is particularly sound in view of impending farm labor shortages, DeHart says. . (In 1950 some 177 farmers in nine counties were awarded pasture., club certificates. Amelia county led, with 43 farmers. Other counties were Isle of Wight, Pittsylvania, Washington, Prince William, Nelson, King William, Buchanan, and Gloucester.) Certificates again will be issued to all farmers who qualify for membership in the pasture club. Here are' the rules for eligibility* * * The farmer must be a member of a county pasture clqb or .similar organization approved by the county agent. The pasture v must be inspected - and its carrying capacity estimated by at least two disinterested persons. The pasture must be a mixture of grasses and legumes that will pro-toe adequate grazing for one animal unit to the acre for the. equivalent of at least 200 days on at least 5 per cent of the open land on the farm, or on one acre, whichever is the larger. If the Dasture is used exclusively for hogs or poultry, it may be composed of legumes only. The report showing names of persons ejegible'should be submitted to the agronomy department at VPI by December 31. Civic and business organizations, and other groups have indicated their interest in the pasture program, and their backing will give added impetus, much as it has done in the corn program, DeHart says. He reports that in many counties the now-familiar ,100-bushelper-acre corn clubs may well be combined with pasture clubs, and the same “machinery” used to conduct both. Competition is in the offing on individual, county, and area bases, DeHart says, V 'An argument is where two people are trying to get in'the last word first. . . 1 Kraut vomotnation* m Make Choice Dishes Sr ••.V>v . Sauerkraut it « relatively in* * expensive food, whether purchased,/ canned or in bulk, and supplies are large this winter, the U. S. Depart- ~ ment of Agriculture advises bud-'' get-wise homemakers. The unusually large production' of latecrop cabbage in the fall offered plenty for kraut packers. Popular combination dishes using this pickle-vegetable range™ from kraut with sausage, sparejibs, frankfurter and pig knuckles to kraut • with fried liver, baked fish, even roast duck or turkey. Kraut can be served either hot or cold. How much sharp flavor it keeps when served hot depends on how long it is cooked. To pre- t serve the tang, just heat the kraut through. For milder flavor, let it cook longer. Cold sauerkraut can be served plain, or drained and chopped in vegetable salad combinationswith shredded raw carrots or cubed cooked beets, for example. • _ • - , ■ - • > Savory kraut, Norwegian style, is a quick vegetable dish for cold weather. Heat % -cup or less of fat in a skillet. Add 1 quart of kraut and 1 teaspoon celery ot caraway seed. Mix well, separating the kraut with a fork. Then Cover and cook 5 minutes. Serve hot. (If desired, add onion or apple for variety;) — ... -1'/' For a winter main dish, put alternate layers of kraut and cooked noodles in a baking dish or casse Charles Russell Hughes Funeral sendees for Charles Russell Hughes, who di«d at his home in Richmond, Tuesday night, will -be held ..at 3 p.m. today (Thursday) from Bliley’s Funeral Home, burial will < be in Hollywood cemetery, . 1 role.
