H. Dulaney), f The County of Rappahannock in the Piedmont Section of Virginia is unsurpassed in* mountain scenery. It was here in the foothills S of the Blue Ridge, during the war .between the States, the invading General Pope (while camped upon this sacred soil,) in a letter to his wife wrote “Owing to military' expediency, I cannot disclose to you - my location, but I iwill say I am1 -in the Switzerland of America.” When Pope later met Lee in the Second Battle of Manassas, where •whis troops were near annihilation, %t is to wonder, if Pope in his after reflection could appreciate any beauty whatever in Virginia, even those beautiful though rugged scenes from his old camp in the “Switzerland” of Rappahannock . and those mountains “rock ribbed and, ancient as the sun.” In order to know and better ap-. preciate the origin of the County v of Rappahannock, it is interesting to note the subdivisions made in one of the eight original English Shires, in order to form therefrom other Shires in Virginia and from these further subdivisions 'were made, fhieh, after we obtained our Independence from England, were designated Virginia Counties, s To avoid confusion all such subdivisions will hereafter be referred to as counties. , One of those eight original ’ English Shires, of (which the County of Rappahannock is now a part, was formed in the year 1634 and first called CharJ*yjbRher Shire, named for King Charles I, of England. The name of this Shire was changed in 1642 to York, so named _for Yorkshire, England, - - .

At which time it ‘ appears the county known as Rappahannock lost its identity; Orange county was formed from { Spotsylvania county in 1734; Culpeper county was formed from Orange count? in 1746; Rappahannock county was form- . «d from Culpeper c&unty February 8, 1833. - It is conclusive from the records that the County of Rappahannock v: See HISTORY Page 3 * “The Desert Song** ; In Richmond March 24 ■> ■■■ Sigmund Romberg’s ever popular operetta? “The Desert Song,”. will be presented on the' stage of rite Mosque in Richmond for a - one night stand on Saturday, Mar. 84.

H. tyne County Agent i ;a i" Five Rappahannock fanners recently purchased six registered Angus bulls from Dalton Angus Farm of Radford. By polling their orders, a practice successfully employed in the past, these farmers were aj>le to get a reduction in purchase price, and the seller deliver the bulls and' vaccinate them against shipping fever twelve days prior to shipment as a matter of protection. Farmers included in this cooperative purchase were C. R. Wire, who,recently purchased “The Shade,” Miss Eda Finks of Peola Mills, L. J. Turner and D. D. Miller of Washington, and Herbert Foster of Flint Hill. Pending weather conditions the bulls are to be delivered to Jack Miller’s scale lot at Washington around noon on Saturday, February 24. .. The Dalton Herd, including the above bulls, was inspected by D. D. Miller, Herbert Foster and your scribe on February 9, who were pleased with the matrons as well as the herd sires. # ' * * - Six Rappahannock shepherds at* tended the area meeting of the United Wool Growers Co-operative Inc., held at Culpeper last Wednesday, including A. C. Latham, J. R. Latham, W. A. Laingi Mr. Scott, Charles Smith and a friend unknown to me. In all there were fifty-eight representative sheep producers 4 from Page, Fauquier, Clark, Loudoun, Culpeper, Madispn, Orange, Albemarle and Rappahannock. C. D. Price of Luray -..was re-elected director of District Seven, which includes Rappahannock. The group voted unanimously to handle the 1951 wool clip on the consignment basis through the United Wool Growers Association. It was clearly brought out that the United was not a buying agen. ey but a co-operative organisation • designed to market wool produced by its members. While no market ' is- quoting 1951 prices it was reported Texas wool has been sold at |1.50 per pound on the sheep and generally the price (was expected to be around $1.35 - $1.40 $ per pound in this section. While this seems a very high prioe consumers are reminded that only around 214 lbs. of wool are required to make a man’s suit, consequently the farmer’s share out of « $40.00 suit is comparatively small. Our wool producers are. urged to deliver their wool to the Rappahannock pool. No doubt but there will be a lot of wool buyers traveling from farm to farm trying to buy -your sheep wool but remember . . . hold it and Sell ifr through the pool if you are looking for the maximum returns. No ceiling price is expected on wool. « V * St.'.; if Pastor* Rentals Lew . . . For years I have been somewhat astonished by the low pasture rental here in Rappahannock. In fact, a citizen of Page county once remarked, “Our farmers will never buy land so long as they can get pasture ss cheap as they can in Rappahannock.” The $1.50 per head per. month for grazing and $3.00 per month seemingly are carry over rates of the depression? days, when -drought cattle from the West were brought here. One of our better farmers called recently and asked “what is a Just cental . ,what do they charge in neighboring counties? < Allen McLearen, County Agent of Madison, says: “$3.50 per head per month but . good pasture is not available.” Gf R. Epperson, County Agent of Culpeper, advised ... “Good pasture isn’t available for rent . . . probably would . be worth $5.00 per month per animal, unit.” Lem. Sutphjn . r. my cohort over in Fauquier says “Last year pastures in this county rented for $2.00 to $2.50 per acre per month. I don't believe they, will be' apy cheaper, but probably more, in 1951.” One Rappahannock farmer figured it tjiis way. Fifty acres would grase twenty ; head of beef cows with calves, f One acre of land, teneed $70.00 Interest - v ':■$ 7. *T,_ f ton lime mrr 8 jrwn —..80 1 toh fertiliser every 10 yean 8.60 Mowing one# 1.00 _cost to farmer, aero 80.80 Or a total eo*t of 8476.00 for the fifty acre boundary. Were these cow* to produce 8000 lb*, in feeder calve* per year (400 0$. per calf) the above rental rata would be at approximately «c per, 'pound coat of production. * This farmer aeked me to a*w (3*e RAPP CHATS, pace 8.) 4 ■ .’H*:;** Basketball Tournament_ At Manassas Mar. 23-24 *D. C. Link, 'secretary of District G, announced last night that1 the District G basketball tournament will be held at Manassas, Friday and Saturday, February 23 and 24.

Rappahannock News Pabliahed Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 JLUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post—office—at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .... $2.00 a year Letters In The Paper It is a good, healthy sign when people use their county newspaper to air their views on the problems besetting the county. It is also a time-saver for the public meetings. Monday night, when tbe people of the county gather at the county P-T A meeting at the high school to determine what should be done about this school building program, there are many problems already threshed out in the paper. Some suggestions have been brought out and thoroughly discussed; some of the letters, while not presenting definite thoughts of their own, have given rise to other plans more definite. Letters in the paper give a chance to hear the voice of the citizen who doesn’* think well “on his feet” hut can collect, his thoughts more carefully when you set him down in the quiet at his desk with paper and ink. This business ef the schools affects every person in the county, whether he has a child in school or not, for your schools are largely your future, and each one of us wants a part in the county’s government and future. There are those who have the ability to stand up in a public meeting and take part and do their share of the working add planning, but for others, without those particular talents, there is the county newspaper where views can be aired. The county paper is ever-present and that is one of the services it oners, xnrougn its columns, you can take your stand on any ‘soap-box” you please, and Roundoff to your heart’s content. The printers will even agree to take the teasing about being the county’s Columbus Square, if that be necessary. The name of the writer is kept confidential, if the writer so requests, and the matter is treated with utmost confidence. All the letters in the paper recently show that there is a serious interest in the county about the school building project. Many— people seem to think that the county cannot afford an expensive building program now, and others think that the. building has got to be done and the longer we wait, the worse it will be. The meeting of the P-T A Monday night will, no doubt, show that those who wrote letters in _ _ the paper helped with the decisions that will be made. i ‘The Time Hob Come * the Walras said ... Some lady approached the Walrus recently with this: "I didn’t get the point of the first paragraph in the Walrus last week.” “Madam,” is the prompt reply to it, “neither can you pick up a guinea pig by its tail. There-ain’t none.” This column has no point. It is trivia—“shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings. . . ” The Walrus never tries to get on a soap-box and preaching is left to the ministers. Any good— or evil—accomplished within the confines of this column is purely unintentional and certainly co. incidental. .'«* The younger printer of this establishment eays the Walrus col• umn is put in' because there is no comic page. That’s the trouble . with this younger generation—it has no respect for its elders. / O O O „ 0. - With', one of _ the longest and meanest winters getting along its .way (four weeks from today will, be' spring), I’m beginning "to get the “earth itch” in my fingers. I want to start seeding the lawn ' and planting shrubs. Let’s see, it was only about ten years ago that I got ambitious to see the lawn look a little less like a hog-woller. . 1 read leaflets.

The laws that peer had the best crop of chick weed had plan tin ever known in the history of Virginia. I wanted to enter it in the state fair, bat the chick weed died with the hot weather '.and left' large patches of thickbladed grass, so hatefal to keep cut that I longed for the hogwoller of the previous year. Annually, I work energetically —for the first spring weeks—on the lawn. "This year,” I convince myself, "all those yean of work will begin to pay off. I shall sit, in the cool of the evening, and gase upon the lawn in all its beauty: close-cropped, a perfect, lush, green cyarpet.” ... Ah, iwell, "hope springs eternal. . but the main trouble is, those dratted weeds and hateful crab-grass "spring eternal", also. OOO "We have nothing to fear but fear Itself.” Perhaps that should he used like the phrase of some years back (you know, the time people were improving by saying "every day in every way I'm getting better and better” until finally they convinced themselves they were better). One of my greatest fears la children on the highways. I fear a group of little tykes walking along the roadside, for it is never T known but that they will start some game of “tag” and dash in front of. the car just as you get to them, I fear little boys.on bicycles, for they lose their balance and turn into the path of the car. I fear slick roads where fresh, wet mud has been tracked from gome side road and makes the pavement as if - it has been greased. In fact, I'm so afraid of highways in general that it’s a wonder my constitution survives the day. This mountainous inferiority complex I’m developing may put me in the condition of cutting out finger nails and chewing paper dolls. Far in excess of these fears, however, I fear a snivelly headcold. OOO Some weeks ago the Walrus got firmly pushed into the dog-house by a very young lady of the county for telling a story on her. (’Twas for quoting her in telling the younger sister, “Well, go on and yell your head of; we’re going to get another baby anyway, and we'll just throw you away.”) The young lady paid a visit to the News office and let me have it—both barrels! When she finished, a promise had been extracted that we would NEVER again put her name in the paper. (It appeared that people had teased her a wee bit.) ..

CONTRIBUTED Letter Yo Editor Letter from "Tired Taxpayer*’ In last week’s issue read, re-read, and read again. Still trying: to figure just exactly what he wants or expects from a reunion with" Culpeper. Economy seems to be his motive butto this reader it appears that T. T. failed to offer any specific or guaranteed savings. T. T. speaks of one Sheriff, one Commissioner of Revenue, one Treasurer, One County Clerk, one Demonstration Agent, one County Nurse, ol« Director of Welfare, etc. etc. Did T. T. stop to question o? to learn whether Culpeper already has, in addition to the officers mentioned and all the others, one or more Deputies in each office; and that the addition of Rappahannock county with its 6,000 people will, most certainly, result in the employment of at least as many more deputies as the fulltime and full-title people now employed? And djrs he believe for one moment that these deputies, if the move takes place, will be employed for one cent less per year than they now receive? In regard to the school situation, Tired Taxpayer rightly doubts that either Front Royal or Culpeper is in any position to take our high school'pupils. Most certainly, if the time and occasion arrive when they do, Rappahan- - nook county taxpayers will be called on to pay the bills for the education of Rappahannock citizens. Is it not time for us to stop looking for other people to carry our burdens? However, there is a solution: use the money from the Battle Fund (Rappahannock’s share is approximately $100,000) and borrow the rest from the Literary Fund to" build an adequate high school. Most of the other counties have done or are planning to do this, including the county of Greene, which is at least as poor as -Rappahannock. ;i'r _In conclusion, let me give this. information to all tired taxpayers: Tax j-ate for^ , ^ Culpeper_,*« $2.15 per $100 and of this for Culpeper Schools-1.80 Tax rate for Rappahannock_$2.00 per $100 and of this for Rappahannock Schools.. 1.75 Still Breathing Taxpayer. , To The Editor To the Taxpayeis of Rappahannock County: After listening to a lot of people talk I understand that the question is coming up to bond the county to build more school buildings. Naturally the school people - are going to ask for a loan from the Literary Fund. The people who handle the school business have gotten a law through in the state of Virginia that authorizes the supervisors to borrow money from the Literary Fund, thus making a mortgage on your property without saying a word to you about it. I do not believe that it was ever intended to give the supervisor* the authority to put a first mortgage on your property without asking you anything about doing it. Naturally you are goiifg to hear some of the so-called top notchers argue that the main difference between the Literary Fund loan and a Bond Issue is the interest rate.

According to the census last taken, Rappahannock can expect their tax rate to be raised about, fifteen or twenty cents on the hundred in order to take care of - money that they received from the A.B.C. Board on account of the decreased population in the county. Ton can expect your State and - Federal tut to be increased aboutone third in another year. Any Bond Issue that will go towards new buildings will increase your taxes about forty or fifty cents on the hundred. Therefore, any Bond Issue for new school buildings will increase your taxes about fifty cents on the hundred. Hy understanding is that the last meeting of the Budget last year, they promised to take off the fifteen cents a hundred that the county was taxed for hiring ah outside man to assess the coun- ' ty property. Also that they would cut back any increase in assessed value to the old base. They stated that all they wanted to do was to equalize the assessed values. The school superintendent said that if you would grant him a five cent increase on the assessed value last year that he would not isk for the nine thousand dollars that had been given him out of the General Fund to spend. If all of these people who are teaching school are not satisfied <why don’t they quit and go to farming; I am sure there is lots of room for them to farm and theie would be plenty of. people glad to take their places. It is up to you voters to get out and keep your taxes down. Tell them that you do not waht them dacre—d. V.■ ^ ^ ■" ~ ~~ C. W. KEYSER Letter To Editor There has been considerable argument and dispute about the propriety of building a consolidated high school in Rappahannock county at this time. The objection is that taxes would be almost doubled. This is not true. A consolidated high school could be built for $226,000.00, we are told by the School Board. Of this, the county’s share from the “Battle Fund" would be approximately 1100,000.00. Rappahannock Rappahannock county could bor-. row the other $125/000.00 from the literary Fund at 2% interest. 1 - . Assuming that our situation does not change, maintaining the present levy, which includes m special levy of fifteen cents on every $100.00 of-property valuation for general reassessment purposes, this $126,000.00 principal and interest, could be repaid •in 30 years. A fifteen cent levy on the present tax base yields the county approximately $6,000.00— Thirty times 46,000.00 is $180,000.00 sufficient to pay the loan from the Literary Fund in thirty yean. But let ns make allowances for a decrease in our population and for increase in the cost of building and assume that we would need to add another 15 cent levy. This is • small increase In taxes compared to the increase in Culpeper and other counties. Therefore, Rappahannock can have its much needed high school without any great increase in taxes, or Rappahannock can refuse to build a high school and Front Royal, Virginia V - THUB. - FRI., FEB. 22 -23 CLIFTON WEBB EDMUND GWENN ’i -fa— “For Heaven’s Sake" ‘ ' - ./« ' ' JSBp ■X SATURDAY, FEB. 24 ; • ■ ■ ^ SHIRLEY TEMPLE ■ “Kiss For Corliss’ •v'.'- - .. . ; SUM. - MON., FEB. 25 - 26 GARY COOPER , tn T -r’-v r ■ “Bright .Leaf" ; V: TUBS. - WED., FEB. 27,- 28 JOAN CRAWFORD * j'f }“Damned Don't Cry** •J %•„ . :i i':' v'H'-.y ... »fjSi.'_ 'i... ... . i. w . ...i.ftirirth ..iTilirililiii »■ •thus reject permanently the f 100,- ~ 000.00 that is now its pact of the “Battle Fun^” and permit it to he allotted to some other county.

Drive Now Underway ‘ A unique State-wide membership enrollment project has been launched by the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce. It Is a - “drive” without fanfare. Thieve are no quotas, no luncheons or speeches and no publicity hand-, outs. It is a “Member-Get-A-Member” campaign with the dual goal of adding f100,000 annually to the budget of this non-profit or-ganization and of increasing the scope of its services to the Virginia business community. * The project is the brain-child of Eldridge Smith, Franklin, life insurance agency head, who is -* one of the chamber’s newest mem, bers in point of time and smallest contributors in point of member|hip dues. Having learned for himself that members get their “money’s worth” in the form of tangible services from the organization, Mr. Smith last month proposed to Chamber President N. W. Kelley, of Roanoke, that “there are per. baps thousands of men in the ' State like myself, or rather like I was before I joined the State Chamber.’’ .... 4 Each of the prospective members would join the organization^ be reasoned, if approached by a friend or business acquaintance wba would point out in concrete Be sere yee T-i, v* I FUSSELLS ICE CREAM FUS3ELL-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY Celpeper, Virginia terms the advantages which membership has meant to Una. On the strength of Mr. Smith,'* proposal, the chamber's board last week named him to head a Statewide drive under this simple plan: Each of the 'State Chamber1* present members has been invited, to enroll at least one new member between now and the 27th annual membership meeting at Roanoke April 18-19. Those who accent the invitation are supplied with lists of the names and addresses of prospective new members of comparable standing in their own commu■ nities. In addition, each of the volunteers in the drive is supplied with material outlining the chamber's current program and services, together with membership application blanks. Although no concrete quota has been assigned to any of the volunteers, the overall goal of the campaign is to raise the organization’s annual budget from $150,000 to ,$250,000 and to boost the membership rolls from 4000 to approximately 5000. Need for the expanded budget was voiced by President Kelley in the January issue of the Virginia Chamberlog, quarterly bulletin for members of the organization. " He pointed out that- basic dues ~ are at the same minimum rate which prevailed when the chamber was first organized in 1924. Despite this fact, Mr. Kelley noted, the opportunity and necessity for enlarged services offer a growing challenge in the face of rising costs for equipment and office supplies, expanded office space and additional personnel. Among the “imperative*" which he listed as responsible for larger budget needs were these: 1. The growing impact of government on business “through controls, regulations, socialistic legislative proposals and mounting taxes’* made it necessary for the State Chamber to join with similar organizations in the maintenance of a Washington research FOR A SHORT TIME ^ w£ awe HAVING A 1 v TRADE-IN WATCH SALE Jwt bring in your old-witch— SELECT A NEW ONE And We Will Give You A LIBERAL ALLOWANCE On Your Old Watch ‘-OIt -'■3 C.

Farm Ownership Meeting At Culpeper February 28 The regular annual Farm Ownership meeting for Culpeper, Rappahannock, and Madison counties will be held February 28 at 10:00 a.m. in the Municipal Building at Culpeper, it was announced recently by B. F. White, County Supervisor of the Farmers Home Administration. Approximately 22 families buying or improving their farms through FHA supervised credit are expected to.attend.

White, to show families where they have made gains Ih their farm business, and where they need to strengthen weaknesses in the year ahead. The meeting will be educational in nature, B. F. White said, with major time being spent on borrower discussion of farm problems. Assisting the supervisor with the 'discussion will be the FHA committeemen. “The FO annual meeting is one of FHA’s method of group supervision” White explained, “and supplements the individual assistance we give borrowers on their farms.

HISTORY ‘ Continued from Pag* 1 is part of one of the eight original English Shires in Virginia, formed in 1034, first called Charles River Shire. And later, in 1042, changed to York. Rappahannock is • among the smaller counties in Virginia, having an area of only 274 square miles. More than three fourths of the one hundred counties in Virginia have a larger area. Pittsylvania is the largest county, having an area of 1,015 square miles, ami Arlington is the smallest, having an area of only 51 square miles. (This county was formerly Alexandria eounty, was formed in 1847 from the part of the Dis. trict of Columbia retroceded to Virginia.) It is interesting to know that the County of Rappahannock and the County of Stafford have exactly the same area, 274 square miles. While the County of Rappahannock is small in area, is is likewise small in population. The United States census for 1940 recorded •the population to he 7,208. There were 82 counties of the 100 in Virginia having a larger population. The 1950 census has not yet been released. The county enumeration as submitted for. the 1950 census shows the present population to be 6,067. If the enumera# tion is correct and there is no * reason to the contrary, it discloses a reduction in population of 1,141 during the past ten years. It can be well aaid the County of Rapps•hannock both in area and population has quality if not quantity. The county has been drained in population during the past ten. years by those who wish to see the “bright lights,” not realizing that Rappahannock has all to be— found on the “Great White Way”, plus beauty, health and that which makes life worthwhile. — Here, is more than the great_ cities can afford, for near our doors is the great Shenandoah National Park, embracing an area ' of more than 300,000 acres, an irregular strip of virgin forest up and down the crest of the Blue Ridge. In Rappahannock county it furnishes a wealth and variety of mountain scenery, out-of-doors life, loveliness of open country and unspoiled nature that defies adequate description. There- are peaks and cliffs that challenge the seasoned mountain climber; canyons and gorges where the cascading waters come with thunderous roar; primeval forests, the trees of which speak wisdom to worn and jaded men, and whose beauty <s and perfumed blossoms bring re- • newed strength to frayed nerves worn by city living. * * Skyline Drive, one of the'greatest scenic highways of the world, " traverses our lofty peaks to an elevation of many thousand feet. .. Eventually, there will be a net* "work of roads, trails and bridle paths which will lead to camps and accomodations throughout the Park area furnishing to Rappahannock one of the most beautiful ' Ijiay^uh^'of the natgdn.^ ^ ~ ' Rappahannock has unlimited resources.

Upon becoming a full private (E2) he receives another $2.60 raise per month, still not altering his allotment home. Another raise in pay is due the soldier when he is promoted to private first class (E3). His pay is then increased to $55.55 over the pay table and his allotment remains the same. In the meantime, if a man has no dependents, „ his actual pay his increased from $75 to $80 to $82.50 to $95 as a Pfc.' There are other factors to be taken into consideration when figuring financial means of a man in service. Some of them are: (1) he is furnished his food, clothing, and lodging; (2) medical and dental care; (3) on post entertainment, such as movies (much less costly than civilian theater, yet first-run pictures are shown); (4) post -exchange purchases are less , costly than in civilian retail stores. There are other considerations of a minor nature which do hot materially change the picture. First Hospital In U. S. Started 200 Years Ago PHILADELPHIA—It is difficult to imagine that 200 years ago there w^reru’t any -institutions in America that specialized solely in the care and cure of the sick. Only in an almshouse,..where Charity cared for the poor, iwere public attempts made to arrest sickness. These were usually isolated instances, generally to halt spread of contagion. It w a s n’t u n t i 1 Benjamin Franklin heeded the plea of DiC Thomas Bond, a prominent colonial physician, tl.^it th\p first hospital was established — the Pennsylvania Hospital, chartered on May 11, 1751, by an act of the Colonial Assembly. Franklin in his autobiography described the fund-raising campaign and the successful efforts ta obtain state aid, but insisted the idea of establishing the hos* pital was “originally and truly” Dr. Bond's. - “He was zealous and active in endeavoring to procure subscriptions," Franklin wrote, “but theproposal being a novelty in America, and at first not well understood, he met with little success.’’ - Then Franklin took up the matter, publicized it*in his newspaper, obtained 2,0(K> English, pounds SotJ uthern State* Seeds are •elected to do their be«t job on your fartn.

Its payges of lifesaving are filled with the progress medicine and surgery. Many Medical Firsts To its credit are many medical firsts. It is Recognized as the first public institution in America to work for curative treatment ofin sane and mentally diseased. AIt is believed that the first appendicitis operation may have been performed at Pennsylvania Hospital,.but no records are available. It was the first hospital to es-v tablish dispensary service at an outpatient department. It established a medical library in 1762 that is recognized as not only the oldest—but among the best—in the United °Aates. It set up a school for nurses in 1876 and has graduated hundreds of nurses and dietitians since. It was the first hospital to* offer free smallpox vaccination to all people of the city of Philadelphia. Since its pre-Revolutionary founding it has treated more than 2,200,0(H) patients, nearly twothirds of whom have paid little or nothing for the service. Before America’s first/medical school was established id the 18th Century, Pennsylvania '^Hospital set up a medical apprenticeship system. This is regirded as the forerunner of the intern training of student-doctors, an integral part of medical instruction in the United States. " When Pennsylvania Hospital was founded, Philadelphia was a tiny city of 438 homes, 127 taverns, and 10 churches. Instead of the small rented house that cared for 23 patients in its first year, the hospital now beds and hoards 2,200 persons daily, maintains four separate buildings covering more than 800, acres, staffs a number of clinics, has jl resident staff of 60 and more than 200 visiting physicians?

Such postponement will continue until the end of the current academic year, or until he ceases to satisfactorily pursue such course, whichever is earlier, according to State headquarters for selective service. In accordance with latest word, “until the end of the' current academic year,” is interpreted to mean “the current school year” rather than semester or half year. Local boards have been eo informed.

State headquarters for selective service goes on to state that this in no way altera a previous announcement which allows students thirty days after the completion of the school year in which to choose thdir branch of service (if available to them).

The consumer will not pu$K *tfe chase opr immature, “green” apples a second time. Apples harvested too early are poor in quality. They are also susceptible to surface scald in storage. Picking immature has already helped to kill the markets on some varieties. Bruised apples also kUl sales. Keep bruising down to a mitiitnunrin harvesting practices. The Virginia State Apple Commission’s posters help tell how: “Place ’em. Don’t drop ’em. “Eggs crack. Apples bruise; Rough handling ruins apples.” “Bend your back Jack! Rough dumping increases bruises.” - " “Don’t be a bruiser! Go easy! Retailers say bruises are apples worst fault.” The apple grower should use these posters to remind their pick, ers and packers to handle the fruit with care. Also instruct workers in the proper handling of apples to avoid1 the housewife’s rejection of apples: “Bruised! Too much waste. Don’t want ’em.” * Stressing the proper method of picking, filling orchard containers, and loading trucks wall help get fruit to the pack house in better condition. Apple picking suggestions are available from the Virginia Extension Service at Blacksburg. - Chemical preharvest sprays are important in obtaining better maturity, size, color, and in reducing dropping of applee. However, do not allow the apples to get overripe. Overripe apples result ,in v poor storage ability, a rapid los# df erispnesa, and a mora rapid de-L velopment of mealiness. Packing Although apple bruising can be reduced in every step of harvesting, packing, storage, and transportation, the best opportunity for reduction of bruises is in the apple packing house. This reduction can be obtained by closer supervision of packing operations. In the grading-packing process, the greatest number of bruises occur from (1) dumping, (2) dropping from one level to another, and (») hitting various parts of moving equipment. “ Avoid rough dumping of apples out of field containers, and avoid - rough filling of packing containers from bins. Cushion, with sponge rubber, the surface that apples strike on the grading-packing equipment. _ > A consumer preference study conducted in Virginia showed that boxes were preferred to bushel baskets of apples. Suggestions for adopting the northwest system of packing are available from the ‘Virginia Extension Service. ~L - If apples are to be stored it is important to help decrease surface •cald in cold storage. This may he done during packing by using paper' containing not less than 15 per cent mineral oil either in the form of paper wraps or shredded paper. “Virginia Standards for Apples” is a publication on grading, packing, and inspection which is available from the Virginia Department of Agriculture at Richmond.. However, it ia not enough to just fpass inspection^ rather a pack should be put up that will compare (favorably with apples from other stdtes. -* f If a grower has a portion of a crop of apples that will not pack well, he phpuld not pack them but «end them instead to a by-product plant. It is also unwise to'finish out containers with poor quality 'apples at the c’ose of a'run. Although a good face in each container is stressed, including small sized apples and poor quality apples below the face lowers the market value and sale of the apples. >• t Mesh bags, pliofilm, cellophane, and paper calfbns are being used , more each year fpr prepacking apples. However, there is no eer-, tainty as to which type of container ia going to be the most important in future yean. Do 'not over-inVest, in equipmnt without, being sure iof an adequate outlet for your prepackaged apples.

Fruit temperatures that are above • 320 F cause a decrease in storage life for the stored varieties and also - an increase in surface scald in and after storage. - At the Agricultural Experiment Station at Blacksburg, studies are being conducted on physilogical responses of apples as' they relate to different practices in harvesting handling and storage. Results of these tests should aid the apple growers in getting higher returns from better apples being received by the consumers.

Hen ratty The establishment of crop rotations in contour strips on slop* ing land is one of the most important* soil and water conservation practices that the technicians of the Culpeper Soil Conservation district are concentrating on at this time of the J^ear. Each year more and more Culpeper and Rappahannock county farmers realize the many advantages of contours on eloping land, and requests for assistance in laying out and establishing rotations in contour strips -continue to come into the local Soil Conservation Service headquarters in Culpeper. Reports from Agricultural Experiment Stations in all parts of the country have consistently indicated increased yields up to 25% as a direct result of contour strip farming with no increase in the amount if lime and fertilizer applied. Don't forget that there are many other advantages in this type of farming. Rappahannock county farmers who have recently established contour strips include: J. Hill O’Bannon, Woodville; J. S. Dodson, Castleton; H. L. Manwarring, Rudasills Mill; and John C. McClanaghan, Massies Corner. Culpeper county farmers include: Brandy Rock Farm, Brandy; George Crooks, Rixeyville; J. M. Dyer, Rixeyvkle. Soil Conservation Service technicians recently m assisted C. E. Johnson, Jr., of Sperryville, to lay out 45 acres for a contour apple orchard. The growing of apples) and other fruit on the contour is Just as important as other crops. Erosion is found at its worst in improperly managed orchards. Quite often orchards are planted on steep land.

Duffy) Women, in general, have jester rights and larger benefits tin-— der the NEW Social Security program. This applies to wives, widows, mothers, and to the woman as a worker providing for -the family. Heretofore, the wile of a retired and insured worker was not entitled to monthly payments until she became 65. Now, if she ha^ a minor child in her care, she geta monthly payments, regardless of her age. Also a mother caring for the minor children-of her deceas- v ed divorced husband can now get monthly payments. However, she must have been receiving at, least half her support from thp divorced husband at the time of his death. The new provision » granting wage credits for service in World War H will also bring new benefits to many women. It will en-4 liable many widows of servicemen to qualify for survivor’s benefits. A woman worker now , has greater protection for her children. Under the old law, payments based on her work could not be made to her dependent children if the father iwere living in the home. This was true even though the - mother was providing all or most of the children^, sppporjj. Now . children may receive benefits if they were receiving half their support from her, or if she were currently insured when «he retired - or died. Women, as workers, now have a much broader field in which to gain a livelihood with old-age. and survivors insurance protection. A Tegular domestic employee in private homes now comes under so* ,, cial security. This-is a type of work in which women predominate. Also, many women work for themselves, and will have protection under the self-employment provision of the new law. j| ’ The address of the Alexandria office is ($15 King street.

Cut them so the design exactly matches the area where it is placed. The protectors are'-' inconspicuous and can be made large enough to serve a real purpose. . " To keep the arm and back protectors from curling up at the edges, finish the edges with cotton tape, and press. The matching slipcover protectors are easy to launder, and they’ll cut down on the number of - times the whole slipcover needs cleaning. Darning Materials Prompt and skilful darning of a little hole or tear often can give a wool garment a hew lease on life, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture clothing specialists. For a darn that doesn't show, here are some tips: If possible, use raveling from ft leftover scrap of the fabric or from seam or hem. Lengthwise yarns are best for lengthwise darning; crosswise yarns for crosswise darning. Imitate the weave of the material. Sink the needle into the yarn of the fabric, leaving cut ends on the* wrong side. Lacking yarh from the same fabric, darn with dull thread of about the same thickness and appearances but slightly darker. Use as fine a needle as possible and short thread to avoid stretching the hole by pulling thread back and forth. . Work under a good light and on the right side of the fabric so that yqju can see the effect as you .work. Take tiny stitches. Keep the darn fiat. Stitches that are too tight will pucker, too loose jfill puff. When finished, steam-press on the wrong side, then brush up lightly on the right side to lift the nap. Missing Link Nntrients Vitamins are still being discovered and clues indicate that there are still nutrients hiding out in foods. As an example of what is happening in nutrition research, findings about a recent addition to the vitamin family—B-12—are cited by Dr. Esther Phipard, nutrionist in the Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics, U. S. r —■ml. I, f., i ■ ■■■.hi nil ii * iii .**—!■ ><> ... m Department of Agriculture, i Value of B-12 In treating pernicious anemia it now well known, she states. Scientists *the world. <" over shared in bringing1 to light tnis mysterious factor which they knew existed in liver and had such power to improve anemic blood. Vitamin B-12, like most vitamins, works for the body in more than one way. There is evidence that this vitamin enables animals, and possibipr human beingfe, to make more efficient use of limited supplies of amino acids—building blocks of which food proteins are composed.' This may prove useful knowledge, in .livestock feeding, and in' improving human diets that are short in the topgrade protein in milk, meat, and other food from animal source*. Besides this, vitamin B-12 has a trace of cobalt in its make-up, pointing {o the human body's use of a tiny amount of this mineral that ies* already recognised as vital to livestock. Looking ahead, r. Phipard says that nutrition sciences expects that protein foods, such as liver and other meat, milk, and eggs, will yield important nutrients in' addition to those * already fouqd in them. With more than 40 nutrients in foods already known to be important to the body's health and welare,- what do the discoveries and missing links mean in the life of the average eater? Each discovery emphasizes anew the advantage of linking and eating a variety of nourishing foods, says Dr. Phipard. Nutritionists who work out food plans aim to provide enough of certain key nutrients Jfor the body’s known requirements, Dr. Phipard explains. When daily meals provide sufficiently for protein, fuel, calcium, iron, vitamin A, three B vitamins—riboflavin, and niacin—and vitamin C, the chances are good that the foods will include enough of other nutrients, including the unknown, for normal needs. A helpful guide for marketing and meal planning is a good plan of this kind, included in the Department of Agriculture booklet, “Nutrition Up-to-date, Up to You’’ which has now been reprinted from the larger good management and' recipe booklet, “Family Fare.” “Nutrition Up-to-date, U|p to You,” may be obtained free by writing to: Office of Information, U.

If they are to benefit equally the $75.00' profit would be divided $25.00 to the party furnishing the land and $50 to the cow owner. Thus the farmer who figured it at $9.50 per acre per season would wind up with seasonal grazing charges of $23.75 per head. Thus we were but $1.25 apart. Now my farmer friend is not saying he is right nor am I. There are pastures and even exercise lots sometimes referred to as pastures, however, both of us agree in the belief that $1.50 per month' is far too low.
