THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1951 *2.00 Per Year Concert Prove* Successful A crowd of about 1200 received the third concert Sunday afternoon of the Blue Ridge Music Festival with a display of enthusiasm. The weather gave a dry wel{■snome to-the second appearance i of the symphony orchestra after,. | the very wet reception the cloud# | Banded their first performance | two weeks before at the first of | the series of concerts. The ori* chestra was practically the same £ as 4t the first concert,, composed I of members of the National and |Virginia Symphonies, with about *0 musicians present. This concrt marked the end of | the first sunimer music work-shop. J Concerning the first session, WfiI liam Haaker states that he is very \ well pleased with the attendance f and support given - the opening - | session. He is also pleased with # the accomplishments of the first f. year and states that he is eager i to begin plans for a bigger and better year for the second season "I '•next summer. The students of the first sum* ?' tner workshop were happy’ over f their study and expressed the f; hope that they would he able to :f return for the next year’s work| shop. 1- A financial statement for the 1 sommer session cannot be com- - £ pleted until all the bills are in, 4~.. stated Mr. Haaker, although it H l thought that the season ended ; about even. Funds for the three concerts war a obtained from, f memberships in the Blue Ridge , Music Festival Association and > , dram some additional donations g Specified to be used for music. AH money for the building improveff ments esme from ,contribution* made by people who designatedi £ their gifts for the building pro-,, gram, according to Mr. Haaker.

I* Tried As Control For Pine Mice New hope for fruit growers plagued by pine mice is seen by researchers at Virginia Agricult tural Experiment Station at VPL Dr. Frank Horsfall, Jr., horticulturist, says his tests have in-; dicated that a ground- spray of dieldrin may be the answer to the problem. No recommendations can be made yet, because of the cxces-t sively high cost fo the material (it cost Dr. Horsfall about $22 per acre), but he says techniques may be devised which wiQ do away with that disadvantage. ~In his tests, pine mice practically disappeared from one small test plot, and also from an- isolated orchard when the orchard floor was uniformly and completely covered with the dieldrin at the rate of four pounds per acre. Dr. Horsfall also found thati parathion appeared to repel and to force mice to live underground for a week to 10 days with probable increased hazard to trees. r ^ ,. ■<_ Entertains vAt Bridge - Mrs. George L.

The following article is reprinted from The Richmond Times-Dis. patch, Sunday, August 26, under' the column IHoof Prints’ by Anne' Hudson Goedecke. * t i r While on a short visit up in Rappahannock county last week it was our good fortune td ae^, and talk to some of the lihrse. people from that part of Virginia. The Rgppahannock Hunt has long had the reputation of being. Is fast moving field and after talking to Jack DeBergh, the joint master with James Fletcher, the; reason is obvious. The members who hunt with Rappahannock are .first and foremost fanners; secondly they are sportsmen. When, they farm, they farm; when they -bpst fox, they really hunt fox. Cubbing starts about the first of September, along with the apple crap. Anyone who can spare alittie time from their farm work is-welcome to go out with the pack Which usually consists of about ten to twelve couplet of American foxhounds In November the .real foxhunting begins with regular ‘ meets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Stonewalls, post and rails, panneled fences and some pretty hefty farm gates lead from onel,fleld to another while the red and gray fox are just as plentiful as natural jumps. The Hunt Club’s pack of hounds are direct descendants of the famous original pack of American foxhounds raised by.; Hugh Bywaters.- Earl Yancey is the capable Huntsman; he is as-' sisted by Whips W. F. Moffett, Dunny Eastham, and Miss Florence Fitzgerald. The end of-the bunting season comes in February and last year, this was celebrated with a program of thrilling poiuUto-poinfc races held in March on the Leon Creenaway estate. Almost everyone who had hunted with the Rappahannock Hunt during the past, .-seasons participated, which made the races possibly the most succesful held it^ Northern Virginia for many a year, or so the “oldtimers” say and who should know but they. - — * - . v' Miller’s Stallions Another prominent horseman in the county is Arthur Miller, •who owns a breeding farm just outside of Washington. Mr. Miller has two handsome stallions on his place along with 17 mares and. colts. The chestnut stallion Galway by Sir Galahad III, out ofl the Jim Gafney mare, Silver Lane, is well known for his racing and breeding get (while the brown stallion War Craft sires more hunting and showing colts. There are three broodmares at the stable one chestnut mare, Grand Plume, is a half-sister to Grand-trap, the . •horse that Dr. ‘Hughes owned and raced. The yearlings, one by Nordict, and the 2- and 3-yearolds make an impressive array of horseflesh. In the years before the war Mr. Miller managed the Washington Horse Show which was a high light for the Northern Virginia horsepeople; the show may be resumed next year. We hope so; out hat is off to the Rappahannock horsemen who work hard and hunt hard, enjoying both equally as well. • -* ‘ : Jr Entertain At Bridge Mrs. Paul Miller entertained aV Ibrdge on Monday evening, August 2T, at her home in- Flint Hill, -: having as her guests Mrs. John S.

Katherine, born Friday, August Byrd Explains Economy Git in Veterans Bureau (The following statement is« issued from the office of Senator Harry F. Byrd, August 28.) The Veterans Administration, •s an “economy” move, has oilier-' ed consolidation of its Richmond, Philadelphiafi New York, and Boston district offices at Philadelphia. ■' ■« • Naturally I have received numerous oral and written requests to oppose removal of the district office from Richmond, and in re-* sponse to these requests I have «• endeavored to establish the facts in the case. i - . '% fe As a result of my investigation ;* I am assured that ‘there is nobasis for fear that service to vet- ’ - erans or their dependents Will bar impaired by the consolidation.’ 4 The savings resulting rom the , consolidation of these four district offices are real, and it be-* lieve they will total more than $1,800,000 per year. As chairman of the Joint Committee dta Reduction of Non-essen-, tial Federal Expenditures, I know from my own investigation. that the Veterans Administration has been over-staffed and over-organised, and I have frequently call-; ed upon it to reduce its non-! essential expenditures. I believe that this can be done without impairment o its legitimate services to deserving veterans. As of July, 'the Veterans Administration was employing more than 182,000 per* sons with a payroll of more than half a billion dollars a year. Thia is an employee for every 100 veterans of all wan whether they are participating in veterans pro. grams or not. 1 ^ Wo are faced with the possibility of confiscatory taxation which would destroy the free enterprise system and bleed white those of us paying individual income taxes even in the lower and middle income brackets. If we are to survive we must change this course. We must submit to economies in non-essentials , both at Washington and at the State levels o federal agency operatioa. Under the circumstances I cannot oppose a' sincere effort for economy through consolidation in a federal agency when I am assured that the economy is real and that essential services will not be impaired. On the contrary, it i$incumbent upon, the Veterans! Administration to institute such efficiency whenever and wbereever it is possible. - Naturally I regret that I am unable to accede to the wishes of those who requested me to oppose thia consolidation, but I do not) feel that I can sincerely talk economy in Washington and oppose economy in federal * operations in Virginia. -- GARDEN CLUB MEETS WITH MRS.

Soil Saver Notes By L. B. Henretty C. R. Wire, owner of “The Shade” and C. C. Zinn, manager, assisted by soil conservation technicians have developed ^complete soil and water conservation plan for the farm. The farm and build- ‘ ings are beipg developed for a' beef cattle unit. Mr. Wire intends' to make “The Shade” one of the show places of Rappahannock, as - it' once was d number of years' ago. • ■ .. }< Much of the farm work is well underway in establishing the grass' program. Mixtures of Sudan Grass, Millet and Soy Beans were, seeded last spring in contour. stripe for ensilage. Alfalfa, *nd! grass mixtures have been seeded j on many of the strips to provide ^ensilage and hay for winter feeding. Land for growing the hay and epsilage crops was selected according to land use capability. •By this is meant, “using the land for the purpose for which it is best suited and treating it accord• ingto its needs,” for the particular crops.' '! Pastures are likewise being developed to increase carrying ca-' pacity along the lines of correct land use. Seedings for pastura will be designed to cover the long-' est period possible. Mixtures ini' eluding Ladino Clover, Alsike Clover, Orchard Grass, and Ky. M Fescue will be used. Legume and grass mixtures are selected to tlr particular field conditions- > In connection with the overall conservation plan on “The Shade” Mr. Wire has constructsd a system of open ditch drains to reclaim wet areas that have in the past been non-productive. * ^‘The Shade” has already taken on the “new look” to all those ; familiar with It during recent! ye***- „‘ ' ! 4-1 _ - ... Fence Port: Preaervative f Treatment I* Advised Virginia farmers cut and set ‘about 10,000,000 fence posts each . y**r. ' That’s the estimate frbm J. W. O’Byrne, Extension forester at VPI, who says that the total number of fence posts figures out to be between 45 and 50 posts per farm, and accounts for about a week of each'farmer’s time. - Much of this time, he points out, is spent repairing and rebuilding fences, and much expense goes to replace rotting posts. A. well-built wire fence will last 20 to 25 years. If the posts can be made to last that long, both cash outlay and labor will be saved. And that’s where preservative treatment pays off. After studying several method* for treating fence posts, VPI foresters say the one best suited to 'Virginia farm conditions is that of soaking sap-pine or secondgrowth oak in a solution of penitachlorophenol. The cash outlay for the. preservative is about 20c for a line post, and once treated, the post should last as long as the now scarce locust and cedar posts, v Besides cutting in half the cost of replacement, using preservatives makes it possible to use posts of small diameter. Since they do not rot, it is not necessary to allow extra size to make up for rotting. Ask your county agent for a copy of Forestry Leaflet No. 12, which gives details on treating fence posts. -;—W Birth Announcement Mr. and Mrs. Ivon E.

Jl Apple Harvesting Tips Included In New Leaflet Harvest a'pples when they’re at the peak of their quality . . . and handle carefully to reduce bruising. , ' . That’s the advice from Fred Dreilinfer, associate horticulturist at VPI, who says that picking apples is a specialized job, and one that becomes easier when the right techniques are used. There is no work in the orchard which requires as much direction as does picking, Dreiling says. His suggestion to orchardistsi is that they show each picker the proper picking methods. “We can often raise a fine crop of apples only to lose the returns in improper harvesting practices.” Each step in harvesting apples, and several suggestions on proper picking practices are included in a new circular, “Picking Virginia Apples, Information for Growers, Operators and Foremen.” Writ® the Agricultural Extension Service-at-VPI, Blacksburg, for a free copy. ' __ ■ .. W'.. '' Sheep Good Insurance 'For Cattle Business Expand your cattle business— with sheep. ■ V > - Sheep are insurance for a meat producing farm, says George Litton, associate animal husbandman at VPI. "You’ll never see lambs and wool and cattle all lose money the same yeafi” he says. Sheep and cattle together make better use of pasture, - Litton points out. In an area (where a _ farmer "cant pasture another cow; ' he can keep six sheep, because sheep eat SO per cent of the natural weeds at some stage, of growth, while cattle will eat only; 10 per cent. Then, too, cattle will ' graze grasses sheep will leave, so » pastures are better , off with both sheep and cattle. .. v , Litton warns, however, against stocking too heavy. A good rule t of thumb, he says, is one sheeps per cow, or one sheep for every 1,000 pounds of beef. Or let sheep b„e responsible for 20 per cent of your livestock receipts, r* ^ Six yearling ewes, which arc 4 rated as being equal to one conr, will cost $222 and .will produce a lamb .each which Will br'ng between 125* and $30.

'WAnirs Elect Committee) i 'TcTiSrudy Review A'13-man committee was elect* 1 ed at the farmers’ meeting Friday night to continue the study; of the Family Farm Review. The county-wide meeting of farmers heard three speakers and then decided to do the best possible, in the short time allotted to give the best attention to this “family farm” census of opinion on the agricultural, program. The committee, elected to study the recommendations and report back to another county-wide farmers’ meeting, was headed with' H. S. Barksdale as chairman and two farmers from each of the six magisterial districts: Hampton District, Wade H. Massie, Jr., aadL C. J. Miller; Hawthorne District* John Davis and C. M. Ramey; <Jackson District, W. G. Eastham and John Lawrence; Piedmont District, L. J. Kilby and J. W. Fletcher; Stonewall District, Nor- Ifg man Grimsley and Raymond John* son; and Wakefield District, J. P. nv Cook and Russell Sbtphin. The motion to study the program and submit the best report that time would allow was made by IE. M. Jones. R, J. Wood made the motion to elect a committee \ to study the program end con-.-* tact as many fanners ai possible and bring such report back to the county-wide group of farmers for their opinion. * The first speaker at the inf was C. D. Jordan, of tho stato mobilization committee, nrho said that the recommendations, in the report mailed to the county mobilization committee, were not meant as recommendations but wore sent as suggestions in order to stimulate discussion. ’H. L. Manwaring, of the PUA, . ' and also in attendance at tha meeting as a local farmer, «nwered questions where answers were available, and explained that each a review was conducted in yM order that a program may bel made up by the secretary of agriculture in complete accord with the wishes of the majority of farmers.- :n*■'•*,***. •**>«}: Giles H. Miller, Jr., bankerfarmer of Culpeper, read a report from a Washington (D.C.) commentator in which this Family Farm Review was termed a “Second Brannon Plan.” Mr. Miller said that he was one who believed that it was time to curb spending in government and put more controls back into the state and county hands,' and discourage this trend toward centralization, continued government controls, and! continued enormous government spending. Mr. Miller stated that government was a non-earning business; at best, all it could do was to take the citizens’ money and give them back the best possible benefits, minus an enormous administrative fde. From his study, Mr. Miller was of the opinion that the present national debt,, astronomical in size and apparently still growing, needed a sharp halt called, and he recommended that the farmers call for no additional expenditures in the agricultural department' and a curbing of any expenses that could be done without detriment to the farmer. Mr. Manwaring explained that the tag of “second Brannon plan” had been hung on this Family Farm review because of one recommmendation in the program! calling for parodies on perishable commodities. The next meeting of the farmers, at which time there will be a hearing from the elected committee, will be held about the middle of September. The exact date will be announced later.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock — County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE b6wIE , Publisher ‘ Entered as second-class nail natter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription: .—. $2.00 a year No distiactioa so little excites easy as that which is derived frees ancestors by a long descent. —Pension (1639-1718) A Reputation We LiKe Rappahannock has been paid a compliment in the writings of_ Mrs. Anne Hudson Goedecke in Sunday’s Richmond Times-Diapatch. When someone describes the county as being a group of people iwbo “work hard and play hard,” that’s a compliment. It means that the people of this county have the sound, good sense to recognize that “all work and no play”— or vice versa — doesn’t make for healthy living. They) attend to business when that has to be done, and they do it welL ' When the time comes to play, they concentrate on that, too, and the results are a good time. The lady complimented the Rappahannock Hunt, those who worked and played in it, the pointto-point races, the hounds, and the capable people connected with the activities of the Hunt. She stated that it is hoped that next year ' the horse show may be resumed, ... and many of the local people hope the lady is correct. Battle's «3-H* Club In the pleasant shade, surrounded by friends, Governor. Battle took occasion Saturday at.. the Byrd Picnic to suggest a new club.. “We all know of the 4-H club,” - joked the Governor, “and now’s time for the 3-H club, ‘Hurry Harry Home’.” He thought the i people knew, he said, which Harry he meant.-- -- It would be agood procedure, it seems to me, if we really want to teach a good lesson in democracy, to bring a herd of followers if communism—and any other enslaving ’ism—to attendance at one of Byrd’s picnics. There in the shade of his own trees, standing on one of his own trucks, he speaks his mind, freely, afraid of no one. (Of course, it hasn’t been been conspicuous that he seems intimidated elsewhere, —either!) It would be a lesson to those freak supporters of ’isms to know that a man can still say what he thinks, and a crowd of his friends can stand and listen to him, free as the air, and knowing no fear that some gestapo^ of one form or another may 'grab him at any minute. The Fettml Depart* ; The first season of the Bias Ridge Husie Festival's summer camp is over. (It was thought to open this Story with “The shouting and the tumult dies, The captains and the kings depart. . but someone might take offense and quote the paper as saying the soloists shouted and the orchestra was a tumult, and that the students, the instructor, and the conductor strutted like army brass. That’s the way most tales get started, and with just about as 'much; foundation as that.) If the success of the first sea-* son of the festival can be judged by the pleasure given to many, it may be termed a complete success. The students had a “grand time," so they said ; three weeks in the friendly town, enjoying the music, and enjoying the association with other students interested in music. Many people enjoyed the concerts; shown bythe fact that about 600 attended the first, 000) the second, and about 1200 the third. If the people hadn’t enjoyed the music, they wouldn't have spread the word around so that others could enjoy the next concert. It is to be hoped that another: year the Blue Ridge Music Festival will keep up the good start and add to the young enterprise. Though there probably wasn't ;■ much money to start off, the sum-, mer camp has many assets: there is a need of a summer music camp in this section, and attendance at the concerts proved that the people enjoy and approve of a summer festival. Tanglewood, in. Massachusetts, is beyond the trav- / el and pocketbook of many an ambitious music atuednt; and* the nearest other camp of this nature is in North Carolina. The location —in Rappahannock, easily-accessi.-— ble, is ideal. AS for the attend7Since at the concerts, people insurrounding territory welcomed a bit of fresh music—not canned-— which meant an accompanying drive through beautiful countryside, rather than the tedious trip to the city, which most of us must make to hear a concert. , There are many advantages to having a Blue Ridge Festival sum„ mer camp, and it is hoped that -with the years the project may grow. Letter To The EcSitor I was pleased and gratified to see the announcement that our officers, Trooper Buntin and Sheriff Critrer, are prepared to exert extra effort to clean our highways of reckless driving. Last Friday night in the town of Washington I observed some examples of reckless driving in the front of the theatre. Endangering the lives of ladies and children who were leaving the theatre, two automobiles, a maroon Ford and a gray Plymouth, were racing tap and down the street near the theatre and stopping abreast in the street before the theatre.

If they can apprehend a few of these reckless drivers and give the harsh reprimands that they need, perhaps it will be more nearly safe to send children to the movies without escort.

The editorial explains why there are so many means for distilling the famous “mountain dew” by giving the reasons: the topography of the Old Dominion, with its hills and vales and streams, is conducive to location of stills; there are many urban communities in various locations to absorb the output and furnish demand for the supply; it’s the only way many families can make a living from their poor land to buy food and school books; and then, too, there are families that point iwith pride to generations of making a special concoction and it has been the means of livelihood for too long to tmalke them readjust themselves! just because some governing body in a far-away city made a new set of laws. 00.0 .

Virginia, the folks are getting set to hold their festivities connected) ; with the sesqaicentenniai celebra§! tion. In deciding to elect a queen , to reign over the festivities, they* have brought up an entirely new' :; picture. The American Legion is sponsoring, as their ehoiqe for . Queen, a lady of the town, of more than 40 summers, who may not be as beautiful as some of *, the high-school adolescents, but! who is known throughout the community for a beauty more enduring than that which is only “skin deep.” The lady of their choice has been known for year* for her workdn the community for the good of all citisens, and for iter constant effort to do all she could to help her fellowman and make her town a better place in which ot live. T ■ If good wishes eould help make the choice, there would be manyof us who would throw ours her way. It’s a pleasure to see some- . one rewarded for good deeds and recognised aa a “Queen" because ; of her value to the community, rather than because the Creator, made her physical appearance pleasing. 0 O o ' ' ^ The stories are out in city pa-t pen that Senator LeBlanc (“Couain Dud” in Louisiana) has sold his Hadacol business for tenmillion-dollars America’s a great place.

Inspired with the desire to see an Episcopal church here, Rev. Willoughby Newton Claybrook started a movement to build one. The generosity of Mr. Harry Smoot made this possible. Our little church in its simplicity is well built, the work of the veteran builder of Rappahannock, George Hawkins. « , ^ > The first rector of the new church was the Rev. W. Norwood Tillinghast. The first members were Dr. and Mrs. Amiss, Mr. Cooper, and Miss Louise O’Bannon. Rectors following Mr. Tillinghast were Rev. Arthur Gray, Sr., Rev. William Marshall (student). Rev. John Lloyd (chaplain in Army, World War I). Two Englishmen held services in the war period. Rev. Churchill Gibson of the Luray Parish held services here for a time. Then Rev. E. H. Vogt, Rev. Frank Cox, Rev. Carter Henry Harrison (student), Rev. Lawrence Brent, and Rev. Francis Allison. ? St Paul’s was demolished in 1929 tornado that biew away the best part of Woodville. The communicants of this church now became a part of Emmanuel. In the devoted care of the beloved Francis Allison, the church took on new life. The pretty churchyard with the barberry hedge will ever bring him to mind. In his ministry the Guild was organized. Rev. Range came next, then Rev. Wilfred Waterhouse. At the present time Dr. W. G. Pendleton is rector of Bromfield Parish. ; The officers of the church have served long and faithfully. ^ Mr.J. R. Cooper was treasurer for more than thirty, years, serving „ v until his death. Harry Trescott succeeded him and served until his death. Mks. Fred Schaeffer is the third treasurer in fifty years. _ The long and faithful service of Frank Fitzhugh as sexton, with his wife, Jenny, as helper, deserves especial mention. New residents of the county coming into the church of Emmanuel are Mr. and Mrs. S. E..Honing and the family of Col. William Williamson. Mrs. Hening is president of the Auxiliary. -The vestry consists of three members, William L. Yancey, Fred Schaeffer, and James W. Fletcher. episcopal TRINITY EPISCOPAL (Washington) Dr. W. G.

ESTES 8-88,89; 9-25; 14-1 Southwest Virginia Lags Behind Northern Counties In Livestock Production Southwest Virginia, heretofore regarded as the leading cattle production area 'in the State, was Outstripped by the uppejr Vialley and northern counties in 1949. J. D. Johnson, associate agricultural economist for Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, says the 1950 census revealed the “surprising fact” that the income from cattle and calves sold by farmers in northern counties exceeded that received by southwest Virginia farmers by more than $3,000,000. Income in Loudoun aiyl Fauquier counties combined was equal • to 52 per cent of the total income from sales of cattle and calves in all 17 counties of southwest Virginia. Another gratifying fact revealed by the census, particularly from the standpoint of farm efficiency, is that the average sise; of Virginia cattle farms is. becoming larger as a result of com solidation of some of the smaller farm units. During the periods from 1945 to 1950, cattle numbers in the State increased 49,900, up 18 per cent; while the number of farms producing cattle declined by more than 3,000, down 7% per cent. This trend was particularly pronounced in the northern counties, where 14 per cent . fewer farmers reported 21 per cent more cattle on farms in 1950 than in 1945. Income from cattle and calves sold in 1949 by farmers in both southwestern and northern count ties, amounted to more than 61 per cent of the State’s total income from this source. Ranked in order of the amount of income from that source, the three lead- . ing counties in the northern wear-1 are Loudoun, Fauquier, and Rockingham. The three leading southwestern counties are Washington,.^ Russell, and Tasewell. ^ When the income from sales of all livestock products is considered, including- milk, eggs, and poultry, the importance of northern counties is again shown, Johnson says. In 1949, the northern area received $60,009,900 from; sales, of all livestock, slightly more than double the income in the southwest. - With the exception of the urban county of Arlington, all of the 15 counties in the north showed increases in the number of cattle and calves on farms during the five year period ending in 1950. Clarke, Madison, Page, and Warren counties had increases exceeding 30 per cent, Rappahan nock county increase was approximately 18 per cent, while the average increase for the area was 21 per cent. During the same period the southwestern counties had an average increase in cattle numbers on farms of 18 per cent; but declines of more than 25 per cent were recorded for Buchanan, Wise, and Dickenson; (while Lee and Scott showed no change. Only slight increases" occilrred in Washington and Tazewell. The most, outstanding increase Entertain At Dinner Mr. and 'Mrs. Downing Wood Entertained at a dinner party Friday evening at the Hy-Wy.
