LAbtaty iLld-l* VOL 2—NO. 36, WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1951 $2.00 Per Year PMA Loans Available As Wheat Harvest Begins Harvest of the 1961 wheat crop is underway in Rappahannock county now, and the Production and Marketing Administration suggests that farmers consider carefully before selling their grain. Wheat growers ark reminded by H. 9. Barksdale, PMA county1 chairman, that priee support loans, announced earlier this year, are available through the local PMA office in Washington. If growers don’t need immediate cash, they; can get price protection by taking out a purchase agreement with PMA. That’s a plan whereby the. producer keeps title to his stored grain but has the option of delivering to PMA at the support rate if he cannot otherwise find a suitable market. The support rate on wheat is 90 per cent of parity on July 1, which is the beginning of the marketing year.' The 1961 wheat loan rate in Rappahannock county is $2.36 per bushel for U.S. No. 1 grade. The base rate in 1956 was $2.20 a bushel. Discounts apply to wheat below No. 1 grade. To be eligible it must be at least No. 3, or may be No. 4 or 5 solely on the factor of test weight. There are other discounts for smut and garlic content. A.feature of the 1961 loan proi gram, different from last year, is that fanners mast pay their own storage charges, Mr. Barkadafte explained. The storage charge in warehouses approved to store wheat under loan is fixed under s Uniform Grain Storage Agreement with PMA. It amounts to 11 cents s bushel on wbeateplaced in storage before September 22, 1961 After that date it is pro-rated. "There ere a number of ffcetors for producers to consider beforel they can decide* whether or not it is to their advantage to take out wheat loans,” Mr. Barksdale pointed out. "The PMA county office will be very glad bo give growers full details on the loan program.” Mr. Barksdale further noted that a price support program, similar to that on wheat, is offered in barley, oats, and rye. The barley 'loan rate is $1.26 a bushel for No. 1 grade; the oats is 63 cents a bushel for No. 3 or better; and the rye is $1.42 a bushel for No. 2 grade. The PMA office has details on these programs. Warehouses where growers in this part of the staite would normally deliver grain are R&pidan Milling Co., R&pidan, and H. A. Spangler, Riverton, states the PMA office. The facilities are approved by PMA to handle and store wheat under loan. Pfc. Paul Hawkins b Stationed in 'England LAKENHEATH, ENGLAND— Pfc. Paul D.

The results show |160 so-far, with a “nest egg'1 of $1 left on each sign. Skipper Giles refused to part with his 140, for he said he had several folks to promise to attach a dollar to the string of dollars and he wanted them to see the long line to remind them o£ their promise. The printing office and the service station at Massie’s Corner tied for a second rating with $22 each on their signs. A story comes from dne business establishment, where a tourist contributed a dollar with the admonition that the parents bring their children to Sunday school, rather than asad tifrss, A final check will be taken on the signs at a very early date. If you have not added a dollar, do it within the next fern days.

County 'Man in Teheran Sings of Homesickness In a letter from the American Embassy, Elgin Groseclose writes back to Rappahannock county with a tune that smacks a wee bit of homesickness. He states that he misses his home in the county and is looking forward to the day he can return. Mr. and Mrs. Groseclose and their daughters were at “Trianon,” adjoining Robert Mercer Menefee’s “San Jacinto”, only a few months before h(e was called for duty in Teheran. “Much to my delight and surprise, the Rappahannock News has been arriving regularly,” Mr. Groseclose reports to the county paper, “(with only a flew lost copies) since our coming to this land, and I always open it with interest to get the news of the town of which 1 am beginning t» feel very much a citisen—evfen though not a qualified voter.” (As soon as Mr. Groseclose returns, he will have to answer if he made that statement so he couldn’t be blamed for the allwoman government.) “Since arriving here, our family has traveled some two thousand miles in our Ford station wagon, through southern' Iran, where I have been studying village and agricultural conditions. Needless to say I have found no village for which I would trade Washington, Ve., but I have met a number of progressive landovqpers who have been much interested in what we are doing in America to develop the land. Land here, as you know, is farmed around a supply of water, which is generally brought down from the mountains in underground channels, and consequently the farming is done from villages built around the water courses. The entire village in orpnpfftllv t>ha> nmnarfv nf oama landowner, and the prosperity of the village depends in large measure upon the care and attention given by the land owner. “I visited one landowner in Shiraz who has been influenced by Christianity and 'has been doing a great deal for his 1}enanta. He has brought in a young Christian, doctor to care for his people and is building model houses supplied with electricity. I enclose a picture of the houses (they are in a block) and of his house, and as you can s(ee it is father pretty. The stack in the foreground is alfalfa, cut for the? stock. The men were cutting it when I made the picture, but do not show. They squatted on the ground and usied a knife somewhat larger than a pocket knife, somewhat smaller than a sickle. You can imagine how much they got cut in a day! “I enclose a picture of the migratory tribes we encountered on our way to Jthe Persian Gulf. There are about 600,000 in this particular tribal group, who pasture along the coast in winter, then move up in the summer to altitudes of 6 to 8 thousand feet. The ascent of the plateau is one of the steepest in the world, and it is a real feat to get up it with all their household gear. “We shall be here until December, but then shall get home as quickly as possible and see our farm and all our friends in Washington. I need not tell you that we miss you all very much. I suppose I should say some* thing about the political situation (here, since the papers are so full of it at home, but I didn't leave Washington, D.C., to get into politics and we have been staying away from the capital of Iran as much as possible. In the provinces things are much more tranquil, as they are at home, and we have felt little of the tension you have read about. However, there were a few times in the past month or so when iwe were just a little worried—one being the time when the munitions dump in Shiraz blew up and everyone thought a revobo orf nerves edge from, all the oil talk and Communist (talk that when the things started exploding around 9 p.m. everyone took to the hills. “But next day all was calm. We lived through a big demonstration of the Communists in Isfahan, which besides being the home of ancient glory of Iran is also the main industrial city here (the in* dustrial population numbers however, only about 10,000 workers in textile mills and their families.)

A recent calculation over at the PMA office showed 0-14-14 to have . a much higher qualifying rate than 0-147. In fact, we were figuring normal top dressing of comparatively small farm and learned the additional coat to the farmer when qualifying under PMA’s soil build-j ing program with 0-14-14 instead of 0-14-7 was a little over f 7— a negligible amount to pay for the equivalent of two tons of muriate of potash available through the use of the higher analysis fertilizer! see A modest girl never pursues a man.

Sperryville Rabbitry Is One of Few In State “Pankey’s Bunnyville” at Sperryville is one of few rabbitries in the State and the only rabbit business. of its kind in northern Virginia. Mrs. Janie Jarvis started the business about three months ago at her home. Mrs. Carroll Menefee, and Farnk Jarvis help with the business and Trixie, the family white collie, serves at watchman and general caretaker when there is danger of the rabbits being disturbed. Mrs. Jarvis can’t recall exactly how she became interested in the rabbit-raising business.' She remembers reading afrticles about fancy rabbits, and she knows she got bulletins from VPI but the idea more or less grew as her interest grew. In the hutches (the name oil the cages the rabbits are kept in) at the Menefee home in Sperry^ ville now are about 44, including all sizes, red rabbits, some white ones with black trimmings,, a .white one with grey trimmings (near the Maltese cat color) and one beautiful satiny black rabbit with a white nose. The rabbits range in age from a few days* without their eyes open, up to) the true grandfather size, weighing 16 pounds. All of the rabbits are pedigreed and those not registered are eligible for registration. They are mostly white and red New Zealand stock. The giant size of the grown rabbits shows immediately that they are not the general run of “Mollie Cottontail” and “Peter Rabbit” variety that is seen along the roadside or given at Easter time for the Easter bunny. i ne nnest oi me raonits are kept for breeding stock, and the culls are used for fur and meat. The meat is all white, and is con* sidered a great delicacy. It lends itself readily to freezing. At preent it sfells,frozen, for 60-cents a pound and has no waste. Mrs Jarvis has been invited to show some of the White New Zealand variety at the State Fair in Richmond during September. Mrs. Jarvis states that she ia amazed daily at how little she knew about raising rabbits until she got started. It demands much time studying and record keeping. One of the items she discovered was that rabbit breeders have an association of their own, known as the Rabbit and Gavie Associi ation of America. (She says that she ran for the dictionary to learn that the ‘Cavie” was a guinea pig.) Many interesting bits of knotwledge come to light as more is learned about the rabbits, Mrs. Jarvis staites. For instance, one mother rabbit refused to pull her fur to line the nest for the baby rabbits, while another almost stripped herself naked to provide a furry nest for the babies. It was finally decided that the climate was to blame. One of thei mother rabbits had come from New York state and the weather was so much hotter here than it was where she came from that she saw no necessity of lining a nest against* the cold. Another another rabbit had come from the deep south and the nights were so much Cooler, that the mother rabbit thought her babies would chill. During the heat of the day the rabbits are indolent but in the cool of the morning and late at evening they play like kittens. Guests are always welcome at “Pankey's Bunnyville’’ to see the rabbits. Mrs. Jarvis delights in putting the fancy rabbits on show, but it is advisable to get her to ahow you around for Trixie might think you are trying to annoy the rabbits and that comes in his department to protect them. I. H. Beaiun Is Manager The Washington Theatre- is now ' under new management, with L H. Beahm of Sperryville as manager.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class r»«ii matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:_$2.00 a year The Importance of Grass Jo Livestock Interests By R. E. Hunt, V.P.I. Animal Husbandry Department A livestock enterprise to be successful over a period of time must have good pastures. It is the cheapest and beet feed that can be produced for livestock. As proof of this statement one should consider the fact that the South had three' large influxes of livestock all of which failed because of the lack of satisfactory pastures and the ability to produce grasses for hay. For the past 15 years we have been having the fourth great influx of livestock in the south and this one is succeeding because of the great pasture improvement over the state and, especially because of the introduction of certain grasses and legumes and new combinations of grasses and legumes. The most) important being Lespedeza and Ladino Clover. In the livestock production in Virginia the farmer must take into consideration certain conditions, some favorable and some unfavorable, which are peculiar to our state. We are too far north to be typically south. Our grasses and our temperatures differ from those of the states farther south. We do not have to face the real problem of the extreme heat of the long summers of our southern neighbors nor do we have the severe parasitic problems with which they are faced. On the other hand, we are too far south to be north. New England, New York, and Pennsylvania have long, cold <win* ters which necessitate the provision of shelter and a long winter feeding period with an accompanying short season for tne growing of good pastures. We are too far east to use ithe corn-belt procedure for livestock production. In this area corn has been and still is the major crop produced. This area is faced with the necessity of reducing the corn acreage and increasing the soy-bean acreage in order to restore and maintain the productivity of their soil. A great many farms are producing too large an acreage of corn with its accompanying soil erosion and soil depletion. Virginia has the great advantage of being able to grow superior grass pastures to an extent not enjoyed by many states. This advantage we are learning by study and experimentation to utilize more and more each year. The livestock industry is an important part of Virginia agriculture. This year the state has 1,197,000 head of cattle, 797,000 bogs, 299,000 sheep, 121,000 horses, and 64,000 mules. Horses and mules are decreasing at the rate of about 10% per year. This is in keeping with the trend of the times. During the first world war the number of horses was • materially decreased. From 23million horses in 19l7, the number was reduced to 13-million by 1937. This is significant because a bushel of corn fed to a horse is taken entirely out of food consumption channels. A bushel of corn fed to a beef steer will be converted inte beef, a bushel of corn fed to a dairy cow will be converted into milk, butter and other dairy products, while a J>ushel of com fed to hogs will be converted into pork. During World War II many of the men in service were given mechanical training and people have become food conscious. It takes four productive acres to maintain a horse per year while there are only two productive acres for each, person in the world. We are living in a changing world as far as agriculture is concerned. Farming is changing from a small business enterprise into big business, requiring large sums of capital and an enterprise that is highly mechanical. With the exception of those horses that are trained and developed to compete successfully in racing, hunting, steeplechasing, show ring, or other competition, horses are a drug on the market and their greatest value is in the production of dog and cat food. The livestock industry is a great economic asset of the state. In 1949 the gross income from cattle and calves was $43,581,000; from hogs, $50,052,000; and from sheep $3,876,000; a total of nearly $100,090,000. To meet our growing livestock industry we ne^d more grass. Our best utilization of grass pasture is made by beef cattle. Beef cows in cow and calf herds, an increase of 20% in the past year. There are 53,000 one- to twoyear-old heifers,'anu increase of 26% and 95,000 calves, an increase of 13% along with 116,000 steers showing an increase of 7 %. These percentage increases for the past year show rapidly the industry is progressing, and how important it is for us to grow and utilize our pastures to advantage. The livestock of Virginia has increased in both number and quality. There are more Herefords in Virginia than any other breed of cattle but last year thje Aberdeen Angus State Association held ten public sales at which 634 head of cattle were sold at average olj $523, making a total of $331,215. Quite a nicte sum of money. Virginia Aberdeen Angus breeders have used in the past 15 years no fewer than six international grand champion sires—a record not equalled by any other state. These six grand champion siresi were; Epponian 8th of Rosemere, Bandolier of Ankoa 6th, Envious Blackcap B 6th, Glencarnock Eric of Cremona, Wintonier 4th, and Price Sunbeam 249. Another example of the quality of Virginia livestock was shown at the Eastern Stud Ram sale held at Staunton. The entire consignment of 116 head sold for an average of $212. All Southdown rams average $275 with a high of $790. The top selling Dorset ram sold for $450. The Hampshire ewes’ averaged $217, and the Hampshire rams brought an average of $314. All of these are records for sheep sales made at public auction. Virginia does have quality livestock and with the pasture improvement program we can expect great things for he future of the industry. We have only to visit those states which have been denied an abundance of grass to realize how wonderfully- -nature has endowed us. John J. Ingalls once wrote a very beautiful tribute to grass which I would like to pass oni to £ou. It is called: | NORM AOmTHWG. la* WHO SAYS A HOME CANT GROW? Your’« can . . . kfc ua show you how to do ft!

Culpcpar, Virginia Gr»ii Is Nature’s Constant Benediction Lying in tlie sunshine among the buttercups and the dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence than the minute tenants of that mimic wilderness, our earlier reool lections afce of grass; end when the fitful ferer is ended, sad the foolish wrangle of the market and forum is dosed, grass heals over the scar wihich our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. Grass is the forgiveness of nature ... her constant benediction. Fields, tramped with battle, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green 'hgain with grass and carnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grassgrown like rural lanes and are obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass draws into the impregnable fortress of its subterranean vitality, and emerges upon the first solicitation of the spring. Sown by the winds, by the wandering birds, propaigated by the subtle agriculture of the elements which are its ministers and servants, it) softens the rude outline of the world. It boars no blaaonry of bloom to charm and to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet, should its harvest fail for a single year, famine would depopulate the world. —John J.

I let (them nibble he roses to their little green stomachs’ content^ (Rose bushes belong to my sister, anyway.) I didn’t care when they ate the grape vines. (The grapes were no good.) But—just like their yellow-spined human counterpart—they went too far. I found two of the ’onery vilecolored misbegotten offspring of the kennel on the white pine tree and they started eating the crepe myrtles! Those evil little critters are now good bugs. I gave them a drink. It was a fancy drink. It was mixed with water and the package said dichloro diphonyl trichloroethane with a 50% tag on it. The bugs were very happy after they had their drink. They lay right down and went to sleep. They ain’t et since. — 0\ O O One of the county’s housewives would enjoy nothing more, right now than feeling “soap-and-water” Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURS. - FRI. - SAT.

She undertook Monday morning: to clean a little soot from around a flue in the kitchen. (It’s a sad, sad story.) The inevitable happened. Down came the pipe. The part of the greasy soot that didn’t land on the dear lady’s head distributed itself very evenly over the rest of the kitchen and impartially over most of the rest of the house. The damage to the kitchen can be remjedied. Eventually the rest of the house can be restored to cleanliness. After several good; scrubbings the lady’s coiffure may lose its grease and soot. But— according to the lady’s husband (who left home as fast as he could right after the accident occurred) —it will require the soothing pas. sage of much time to calm the dear lady’s temper. However it is doubted if ever again in her lifetime will she be able to match the language she thought at the moment and for several days thereafter. “It ain’t funny McGee!’’ o O obeen married ever thirty J*ears,” says Mr. H—, “and I’ve announced far and wide that I’ve always worn the pants of my family.

Jftoe Jforks Cfjurcf) By ELDER RUSSELL THOMPSON Five Forks Regular Baptist Church has a short, but interesting history. It is located, as the name implies, at Five Forks, about seven miles southeast of Sperryville, on a line equi-distant from Washington afad Woodville. The church group first met, for about two years, in the Frytown school house at Chestnut Forks, near Washington. About the year 1923 the church was organized and began holding their meetings in a grove near the present site of the church. First members were Mrs. Christie N ethers, Mr. James A. Burke, Mr. and Mrs. Ben F, Hawkins, Elder and Mrs. Warren Corbin-and Miss Frances Corbin. t 4 I > While meeting in the Frytown school house one new member was received, namely, Mrs. Harry Williams, who was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Compton, Washington, Va. Mrs. Williams was called to her eternal reward a short time after her profession of faith in ber Saviour. • . V * * Elder Corbin was instrumental in having a church erected about the year 1926, on land given by Mr. and Mrs. Luther A. Wayland, and was pastor of the church from the time of its organization until December, 1950.y Elder Russell Thompson, of Washington, D.C., is the present pastor. When the church was built the members and their friends joined in donating much of the lumber and other material, also gave of their time and labor toward the construction of the church house. In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Wayland, who gave the land on which the church now stands, the following should be mentioned as having taken a large part in the work: Mr. Marcus Bruce and family; Mr. Will Armentrout and family; Mr. J. Hill O’Bannon; Mr. James A. Burke and family; Mr. J. M. Long and family; Mr. Robert Nethers and family and many others. The first trustees were Messrs Ben Hawkins, L. A. Wayland, Marcus Bruce and Warren Corbin. Mention shoyld be made that many of the present membership were formerly members of the Hazel Regular Baptist Church, which was disbanded when the U. S. Government took over the land on The Hazel for a park; and many are descendants of those who moved to Five Forks from The Hazel.
