f MAIL WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1951 Gun Accident Causes Loss of Arm Use Clarence Jordan of Flint Hill received a gun-shot wound in the upper part of the left arm while working on the Settle farm Saturday afternoon. Mr. Jordan, who had been employed in cleaning out some brush, had killed several groundhogs la-'' tely and carried his gun with him when he cleaned up fence rows. Saturday, gun in hand, he tripped over some vines or twigs and received the full shot straight through the large muscle in .the upper left arm. He walked back to the house and James M. Settle carried him to the hospital in Front Royal for treatment. Following the operation it was reported that Mr. Jordan will lose the lifting ability in the arm, although he is able to move his Ungers and grasp objects. Considering that there were powder burns across his chest over the heart, it seems a miracle' that he escaped with his life. -*Two Sales Pending Without final papers signed, two sales are pending in the county. Elmer Lillard has announced the purchase of the R. H. Scroggins property, home and woodworking shop and about 30 acres, located on the south side of Highway 211, across from Hampton fnn near Washington. The Rev.

Llewellyn, who now operates “Mountain View TourisV’ Following the sale of the business, Mr. and Mrs. Lillard went to Tennessee, but local people say they got homesick for Rappahannock and couldn’t stay away any longer. Mr. Lillard has not announced his plana for use of the cinder-block workshop locatedT on the highway. The Rev. Mr. Scroggin purchased this property in 1243 from W. C. Campbell for a reported sum of $3,000. It has been stated that Elmer Lillard paid 313,000 for the home, new workshop building and approximately 30 acres. The -Rev.

W Soil Saver Notes Bjr L. B. Henretty Two farm ponds have been completed recently on the ’ farm of Clarence Gough, “Echo Hill,” near Washington. The larger of 2 acres in area, adds much to the view from the homestead. The smaller Mi-acre pond may be Been from the driveway just after turning off U.S. Highway 2111 going into the farm. After filling with water both ponds will be stocked with the proper number and species of fish by the S.C.S. technicians working in cooperation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation. Grant McColley, owner of a small farm in Culpeper County %near Arajissvilte, completed the construction of a 1 acre farm . pond this week. The McColley pond is located in a wooded /seotion on the farm and may be used for fire protection to the homestead and for recreational purposes. It will also be stocked with fish at a later date Many fields that were once good cropland now have numerous wet areas in them due to old closed drainage systems becoming ineffective. Farm drainage is becoming a more and tionmore important soil conservation practice each year and farm-v ers are taking advantage of. the * technical service available ihrb-/ ugh the "Culpeper soil conservation district rendered by the Soil Conservation Service. , All open ditch drainage work that is dope in accordance with specifications qf the Production and Marketing Administration is eligible for payment at the rate of 12c per cubic yard. Each farmer may receive a maximum of $100 for drainage over and above their regular P.M.A. allotment. This means that financial assistance is available on farms of each landowner. Approximately 26 farmers have already taken advantage of the financial assistance available through the P.M.A. and the technical assistance of the Soil Conservation Service. -- Carnival Postponed The firemen at 8perryT'llle were notified late Saturday evening that the carnival scheduled for showing there this week whs unavoidably meet the Flint Hill Bachelor* To Meet Married Men In Donkey Baseball Bachelors of Flint Hill ’will meet the married men of the town in a Donkey Baseball game Saturday night, September 22, under floodlights at Flint Hill School.

WASHINGTON MAYOR LEADS PARADE Washington's lady-mayor was in Charles Town, West Virginia, last evening to act as grand marshall of the Sesqnicentennial parade. The mayor’s children were much upset when they first heard of the invitation. The only grand marshalls they had ever seen were of military style'and rode horaes. They were acutely conscious of the fact that their mother’s equestrian accomplishments were not up to such an occasion, and they did not want to be ashamed of her. Final persuasion got them settled when they found that Uie horse was not a required' means of transportation, and that a grand marshall can lead a parade by riding in a car. According to Mrs. C. T. Bruce, the local bridge club had to forego its meeting this week. It seems it was Mrs. Davis’s turn to entertain and she “had to ride a horse’* in the parade on bridge club night. Benefit Auction Sale Proves Success The ladies of the Auxiliary of Trinity church realized $126 on the antique auction, white elephant, and bake sale Saturday night, September 15.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-|2.00 a year “Wise are instructed by reason; men of less understanding by. experience; the most ignorant 1 a n r n by necessity.” a Vote Now And Don’T Howl Later Friday night the fanners of the county will meet in the Courthouse to vote their approval or disapproval of the proposals in the Family Farm Review. The committee of fanners in Rappahannock minced no words in voicing their opinions of the proposals. They said exactly what they wanted and didn't want, hut the opinions are not worth the paper they are written on if the farmers of the county do not support them. It is the majority vote that carries any weight in a democracy. Tne Congress is not expected to pay any attention to a list of recommendations voiced by a committee. What they want is the opinion of all the farmers and then a Congressman can know what his people want. -• The Success of the opinions expressed will depend entirely upon how many farmers of Rappahannock turn out to the meeting tomorrow and vote. This is still a free country. We abide by the majority rule. Sometimes other sections of the country out-vote us in a subject. Sometimes we find that they were right and we were wrong; and sometimes we can say, “I told you so; I didn’t vote for it.” But unless you vote, you have no right to make any statement later. The success or failure of this report from farmers will stand on how many farmers voted. If every farmer in the county isn’t present td cast his vote of approval or disapproval, the committee’s report might just as well be thrown to the four winds and let the government take over the complete dictation. A farmer deserves to have the government tell him what he can and cannot do if he hasn’t sufficient interest to vote his own opinions and defend his rights. We’ve heard all kinds of talk about this Family Farm Review. We've been told it’s a second Brannan Plan because the first one fell through. We’ve heard it’s a fight between the Farm Co-operatives and the Agricultural Department, whereby the Department wishes to prove that the Co-operatives have no power. We’ve been told that the whole scheme is a step toward socialistic agriculture.. We’ve heard that it’s a slick method to obtain Truman votes in 1952. We hear so many tales—and probably all tales have been told to conceal the real truth of the Review—we don’t know what to believe. But the fanner knows that he can attend his meeting and, with all the rest of the farmers of the county, vote either approval or disapproval of the committee’s recommendations. His vote—combined with a majority of the votes of the other farmers —will carry weight in seeing that the government is running the way he wants it run, doing the most good for the most farmers and still trying to curb exhorbitant government spending and get the nation back on a budget that will reduce the national debt. The Word* Are Wrong Taxes have to be. Like the poor, they’re always with os. This is not a complaint of the size, of taxes. It’s a complaint against the names of them. There's ahixury -tax- wperfumes, powder, furs, and the like. Such I understand. They are luxuries in anybody’s language. But now, ft’s gone too far. There s a luxury tax on alarm clocks! What’s luxurious about being bounced out of bed at some ungodly hour in the morning to get up and go to work? The guy. who named an alarm clock a luxury should have his head examined. There’s a luxury tax on baby powder and baby oil. That ain’t no luxury, it's a necessity. Just try and dispense with the powder and oil that keeps baby happy and comfortable. After several hours of the yelling and screaming, you’ll know that for your own well-being it is a necessity that you purchase the powder. There’s a luxury tax on deodorants. The word is incorrect. In some business, perhaps, where one is employed out-of-doors with plenty of fresh air, a deodorant JUP be a luxury, but to most of THE AMERICAN WAY NOW .mu ME - MOW AM 1 6OIN0 TO CONQUER 1HE UNITED SWES?

So, this is not a complaint against the taxes; it is a complaint against the name. Just, call them taxes, but don’t say an alarmclock is a luxury. -- Cleric Launches Campaign Against Gossip A minister in Martinsburg, W. Va., has started a campaign aganst gossip. •Rev. Virgil S. Dickson, pastor of Second Baptist church, Martinsburg, has askecLhis congregation “to declare -war against it” and said he plans to extend the drive by means of posters and letters. * “The Bible has more to say against gossip,” the minister sai\ “than against murder, drunkenness, and adultery. The idle talkers of Christ’s day helped cause His crucifixion.” If the drys can campaign against the liquor traffic, the minister asked, “Why can’t Christians campaign against gossip? The_ Bible tells us it is a serious sin.” The history books tell us that back in the eleventh century it was customary for a knight to place a star upon the shield of his coat-of-arms for each trip to the Holy Land made in a Crusade. The minister who begins a crusade against gossip should be allowed to emblazon the sun, moon, and the Milky Way upon the shield of his modern-day armou^. The trouble with most folks is, while they agree with the preacher .and certainly with Biblical condemnations, they can’t seem to consistently practice what they believe.

Tales are as usual. “The crop’s terrible; apples are all dropping; you can’t get any hands to work,” bt cetera. One of these days the crop is really going to be bad, and like that old story of the boy twho cried “wolf!", no one will believe a word of it. According to a few reports— given under the breath—the crop is pretty good; the apples aren’t dropping any worse than usual; and there are about as many pickers as usual. The packing houses are working piore than average' and the hours are long. There’s no special explanation for the orchardist’s perpetual growl. He just enjoys it. Whenthings go too well, there might be a change for the worse; so if you growl all the time, then it’s so pleasant at the end of the season to come out on top.

On a recent evening, that inhospitableBaggarly located two itinerants— travelers upon the highways of our fine county-»-comfortably ensconsed in one of the buildings on his property. Do you think he invited the men in for dinner, or even for a pleasant night’s lodging? No. He asked them all kinds of personal questions about where they worked—even when he could see that they gave no appearance of having worked ever before in their lives. When they gave him some answers about having jobs on newspapers in Washington, D.C. he was even impertinent enough to inquire as to which paper. And after insulting them by doubting their word, he allowed the Sheriff to give them three hours to get across the county line. The printers’ union oughta’ . picket Avon Hall with placards reading “Baggarly Is Unfair To Printers.” (They said they were printers.)

But with this concentration she slants her head, looks out of the corners of her eyes, draws the corners of her mouth down. My husband and / felt her ability one to ho cherished and ignored the mannerism, thinking she would outgrow it. It has persisted several years though it happens less frequently and for a shorter period. Many people, including her teacher, believe she should be stopped when detected. It became a joke to the older children when the teacher would exclaim. “Eileen, don’t look like that.” She just smiles when her attention is drawn to it, but, of copcse, the thought has disappeared, too. Von are justified in being pleased with the ability of your six-year-old daughter to concentrate and you need not be overly concerned about the mannerism that accompanies the concentration. : . __' It may be that the mannerism is more undesirable than your description indicates, but if it seems to be used less and less frequently, it is likely that the more unattractive features of it will be eliminated in time. Since the comment of the teacher doesn’t seem to bother her, you have nothing about which to __ j worry at that point. Guard against commenting upon her ability to others when she is present, lest she become too self-conscious about it. They Musi Giggle Out- five-year-old started to kindergarten recently and up to then has been a very quiet, ladylike child and could sit still if she had to, but now she has become so loud and giggles loud at things'that aren’t funny. The more see try to calm her down the more antagonized she gets and pouts (at which we pay mo attention) until she starts in all over again being loud. Is it because she has to be still for almost four hours every morning? What can l do to make her into the sweet, quiet little girl we used to have? You certainly ate right when you pay no attention Jo your daughter’s pouting. I am wondering, however, if you are not expecting too much of a five-year-old when you aak her to be a “very quiet, ladylike child.** I am sure you want your daughter to be a normal, wholesome five-year-old girl, and to be “quiet and ladylike** is to aak of her behavior that is suitable for an adult but not suitable for one ei her age. In fact, you should rejoice at a certain amount of giggling and loud behavior, even though it may be somewhat irritating to you. There are many seasons far this change in yam daughter. If dge has been aa only child and has not had too playmates at her own age, the i fn the kindergarten are new Certainly aha la net kept still for the four morning hours. She 1. with children who laugh and giggle, an-' who may be at times loud and boistev oua. Since she has been so “quiet and lady like,” she may be having some difficulty in learning to adjust to the other children ; in fact, she may be imposed upon by them. Consequently, she i> under a more or less nervous tension while at kindergarten, and when sh. gets home this tension expresses itsch in the type of behavior you deplore. Nervous tension brings about fatigue and a child who is tired frequent!' giggles at things that are not funny Be sure she gets plenty of rest. Wild and Woolly Tales My six-year-old son has a vivid imagination. In tht past when he has come from school with wild tales Tve listened qgd then pointed out that it was a tale. Lately Ae tries to convince me that it’s the truth. I’ve tried to show him that invention is fun but it’s important that he tell the truth when questioned. I don’t consider it a serious problem but don’t want it to ■become one. What cost you suggest? It seems to me you have handled the situation very well in the past and that, by now your son probably knows the difference between his flights of imagination and that which is literally true. At any rate, your son is now six, the If you have a. question about your child—from infancy through the teens —send it to Donald M. Maynard, 81C Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, to be answered through a future column in this newspaper.

It’s a fascinating business she’s started, and the little printersdevil will probably get “ink in her veins” if she stays around a print shop long.

Virginia Leads South In Woodland Protection Washington, D.C., (Special)-' Despite a slight increase in acreage burned and number of forest fires reported during 1950 Virginia continued to lead the Sotith in the effectiveness of its woodland jprotectjon program. Last year the state had 2,110 fires that burned 20,740 acres of woodland. This compared to the previous year's record of 1,630 fires and 12,597 acres burned. All of the state’s 14,634,000 acres of timberland is organized under protection. Careless smokers started 797 forest fires in the Old Dominion State last year. Debris burners with 534 fires to their discredit were the next worst offenders. Incendiarists, willfull woods burners, started 251 forest fires. This information is contained in a report distributed by American Forest Products Industries— Rational sponsor of the Keep Green program underway in 30 states. This educational campaign in forest fire prevention education operates locally under the banner of Keep Virginia Green. Commenting on Virginia,s 1950 forest fire control record, J.C. ■McClellai^, chief forester for AFPI stressed the need for greater cooperation by the public in 'presenting woods fires. Since most woods fires are caused by iocal residents, the Keep Green program provides a most effective vehicle for grass roots education in forest fire prevention. “Man’s most effective tool in preventing forest fires is education,” Chief Forester ^McClellan declared. “An alert public, aware of its collective responsibility for preventing fire in the woods can keep America's forests green, growing and productive.” The AFPI report, based oh U.S. Forest Service figures, emphasizes the continuing need for full public support of federal and, state fire control agencies. It points out that continued cooperation between industry, the public agehcies and woodland owners in preventing fire is an integral part of the nation’s defense program. DONAHOE’S FLOWER SHOP MRS.

Goshen township, motored to Flint Hill on Sunday to visit the grave of the late Joseph Reid, whose home prior to his sudden death on July 26, was at Delchester Farms, Chester County.

D. U. Livermore poultry marketing specialist at VPI, says Virginia growers are raising 3,571,000 turkeys, 56 per cent more than in 1950. The Shenandoah Valley accounts for about three-fourths of the State’s production, while Rockingham county alone, “The turkey capitol of the East,” probably produces more than half. Nearly two-thirds of the Virginia crop consists of the small Beltsville White turkey, a breed which has been developed to meet consumer demand for small young turkeys throughout the year. In 1951, Virginia will market nearly 1,009,000, Beltsville . Whites . *ut about 16 weeks of age, weighing between 4 and 7 pounds. This means that substantial proportion of the crop will have been marketed and consumed long he-, fore the traditional holiday sea-' The national turkey crop is estimated" at 16 per_cent above last year. This may be enough, Livermore says, to raise per capita consumption to about 6,6 pounds of turkey meat compared to 5 pounds last year. Inflation, or no inflation, a production increase of this size should assure consumers of all the turkey they want at farm prices little, if any, higher than pre-Korean levels. The increase in cash receipts to growers this pear will he the result of greater production rather than merely Use the NEWS Classified Ads son. Mrs. Thornton Entertains Bridge Club Mrs. P.

It’s a shame the way Arthur gets rid of his horses, Emily can tell you that. Wonder why she didn’t buy the glasses the salesman tried to sell her last week? She’s also losng business because her sandwiches are too small. Wonder if Emily’s threat to go out of business has anything to do with the telephone calls she received last Thursday, night?

World War 1, refused to lead an American orchestra in “The Star Spangled Banner’’. Hans Kinkier was the first conductor of our National Symphony Orchestra. Some of his trained players have been a part of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, lead by William Haaker in the concerts of the first season at'Avon Mills, The Blue Ridge Music Center at Washington. William Haaker is an American as Ipader of an American orchestra there is a brilliant future ahead of him. He was born at Albany, N.Y., of German-English lineage. While a student at Eastman School of Music, in New York he studied under Jose Iturbi. Iturbi, whose eccentricities have sometimes met with disapproval by his staid Boston critics, while delighting a packed Symphony Hall. In the movie, “A Song to Remember* the actor is seen as Chopin but Chopin's music is divinely played by Jose Iturbi in the background. - Tall, graceful and gracious, William Haaker possesses the temperamental nature of the artist. Life has not been an easy one for the young musician, but a long hard climb, a talent and love so great make of hard work a joy. Mr. Haaker has given piano recitals throughout the United States, Mexico and Cuba, also in Holland. I can dd no better than give this from a professional music critic—r quote, ‘Once in a great while we are inspired by the appearance of a great career in creation. Those of us who -have seen William Haaker conduct realize we have been watching a star with a brilliant future. This man is a human dynamo. He lifts an entire orchestra to the last man to new heights with his tremendous vitality and his power. Here is a man, who conjures "Ids music. Haaker is not a man for ladies’ smiles, he is the man, who fires his music with his masculinity. ‘William Haaker is one of the x few (four) pianist-conductors in the world, capable of"great sensitivity and gentleness as well as the dramatic and the emotional. Surely his music will appeal to those, who like their Beethoven strong, clear and definite; and to those, who prefer to interpret their own Chopin and Debussy. His Strauss waltzes have a sensual quality.’ On the 26th of August, 1961, the first season of the Blue Ridge Music Center came brilliantly to a close. Beethoven’s Symphony, No. 6 (Pastoral) lead by William Haaker was breath-taking. He lead the orchestra through Beethoven melodies, in the merrymaking of the peasants, in the grandeur of the storm, in the peace of the Hymn of Thanksgiving. It was dUpurb. Lovely Vienna life by Strauss was lovelier still as the leader expressed all the grace and poetry of motion. We saw the Mardi Gras in the , streets of New Orleans as William Haaker lead the gay riotous crowds, his orchestra following as gay as he (Mississippi Suite— Crofe). Music, so beautiful in its rustic setting by the “Old Mill! Stream” with the heaven-kissed mountains close about us, lifts us to the sublime. ' ‘I have dreamed a dream and it has come to pass.' Mr. Haaker planned the most delightful and varied programs, each in itself a lesson in music appreciation. A small boy of four years, whose mother had explained each number, sat with a rapt expression on his face throughout the concert. It is a wonderful means of discovering talent. Mr. Haaker’s charming and beautiful wife is his true helpmeet in all things. To the Haakers we of Northern Virginia extend glad welcome at all times and our heartfelt thanks. -r— WMrs. Henry Huff was a Sunday guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Racer.

We that given some thought and a small account of money, the ironing equipment in many homes could be greatly improved. Why then is it that housewives still use old equipment and methods of their parents? 1 ' ^ The answer is that most equip* ment is not suited to Sit-down work. Many homes are equipped with narrow folding boards with criss-cross supports which will not allow the worker to sit and iron. Heavy irons are still in use. Cords drag and catch in the way. Pew homes have chair^ which are suitable for sit-down ironing. The starting point in easy ironing si correct equipment. A sturdy well padded board of correct height s one of the first requirements. The best type of 1>oard is one that can be adjusted to several heights. Many homemakers have found that a board 20 to 24 inches wide and 45 to 48 inches long, which can be clamped to the regular board, will speed up the job of ironing shirt* and other flat work. As for irons, tests show that the new 3 to 3% pound thermostatic control iron s best for seated ironing. A thick asbestos pad about 8 by 12 inches will prevent scorching of the cover and do away with the need of lifting the iron eaeh time it is pushed across the garment. A sleeve board is another piece of equipment which makes easier ironing—a tailor’s pad can be used under zippers, pockets and other thick parts of a garment. The second step to easy irqfiing is the arrangement of equipment. Since most women work from right to left, the arrangement should be planned in this order. The electric outlet should be at the right and on the far side of the board from the worker. The cord should come down from above for efficient use of the iron. The basket of sprinkled clothes should be placed on a cart chair or table at the right of the boards within easy reach of the ironer. A table or rack for ironed clothes at the left within easy reach of the worker, completes the ironing unit. Mrs. A. H. Buckner (pent Tuesday with Mrs. C. R. Hite. -L Cpl. Frank R.

FARMERS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS ECONOMY A committee of fanners have set up a group of proposals to be presented at a county-wide meeting September 21 for approval by the rest of the farmers of the county. The committee formulating the set of resolutions is the one elected at the first county-wide meeting held in regard to the no*wmuch-discussed Family Farm Policy Review. Using words that most people thought had become obsolete, so far as the government was concerned', the farmers called for economy, curtailment of expenditures, and abolishment of any farm-agricultural policy that can be eliminated. The farmers even agreed to begin and offer themselves as a group of volunteer taxpayers, to make sacrifices in order that the national debt may be reduced. The full contejit of the committee’s report follows: WHEREAS, the farmers of Rappahannock County, Virginia,^ have held several meetings in con-" nection with the Family Farm Policy Review sponsored by the United States'Department of Agriculture; and — WHEREAS,, at the last countywide meeting two farmers of each Magisterial District were elected" as a committee to bring to another county-wide meeting recommendations concerning this review; and WHEREAS, the report of the Committee has been presented to the meeting; and - WHEREAS, the farmers of Rappahannock County feel that the idea of having the farmers of the United States give their views is good, the method used in conducting this survey was not in accordance With democratic process, in that it was conducted principally by paid federal em‘ ployees; and ' .. . WHEREAS, it appears that the recommendations contained in the review in every instance call for increased expenditure, increased personnel and broadening of powers of the U. S. D. A.; and WHEREAS, we feel that the concentration of further authority over agriculture in the U. S. D. A. is unwise; and WHEREAS, in this time of impending war, with an enormous federal indebtedness and the highest tax in our history, it is felt that any unnecessary increase in non-defense spending is unsound ; and i WHEREAS, we feel that the United States Department of Agriculture should operate as far as is possible through our State extension service, and other State facilities, other than directly with the farmer, NOW, THEREFORE, we the farmers of Rappahannock County, Virginia, represented at this meeting do hereby go on record as strenously objecting to the increasing of thb activities of the t U. S. D. A. and recommend a contraction rather than expansion of its activities, and further that we vigorously record our protest of the method used in this survey, of obtaining reaction to the report and its recommendations; and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that we recommend that the U. S. D. A. be decentralized, and that during these strenuous times that the government spend only for necessities and defense spending. FURTHER gfe IT RESOLVED, that farmers as a rule are landowners, hence interested in the general welfare of the Country, and to this is attributed the fact that rural sections have produced a large percentage of our statesr men. We are firm -believers-in.our rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. At the present we, along with the majority of our fellow countrymen have been convinced that Life and Liberty are both endangered. Hence we have favored our present Defense Program and are willing to help pay for it. However, since this' program will take probably 20% of the national income for several pears, we are willing to deprive ourselves of other lessnecessary things until our defense costs are paid, and until we are annually makifcg a reduction in our national debt. We are willing to be the drat group to make sacrifices and urge other gropps to unselfishly follow us. THEREFORE, our general answer to these questions pertaining to the Family Farm is that the Department of Agriculture practice all' possible economies until our defense problem is solved. Our recommendations are: 1. the Agriculture research ADMINISTRATION: I. Research: — Present program adequate. II. Pest Control: — Present program adequate, possibly need further work on effect of germ warfare. III. Meat Inspection:—Adequate. 2. BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS: I. Agricultural estimates:— Continue on present scale. II. Economic Investigation:— Discontinue. 3. THE COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE: No Expansion recommended. 4. THE OFFICE OF INFORMATION: No expansion recommended; tie in with 1 and 2 above and economize. 5. PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ADMINISTRATION: I. Commodity Credit Corporation;—Curtail 50%. II ACF:—Curtail 10% and reduce maximum to a farmer by 10%. III. Production Adjustment Program:—Abolish for duration of present emergency. IV. Price Support:—Abolish. V. Program for Sterilization of Sugar Production and Marketing:—Curtail 10%. VI. International Commodity Agreement Program: — Curtail 10%. VII. Surplus Removal, Export and Diversion Programs:—Curtail 10%. VIII. Marketing Agreement and Order Programs:—Curtail 10%. ,IX. Marketing Research: — Abolish—handle by ARA. - X. Market News:—Abolish— handle by BAE. XI. Standardization, Grading and Inspection of Farm Products:—Curtail 10%. XII. Marketing Regulatory Laws:—No expansion. XIII. State Matched-Fund Marketing Service Work:— Abolish—let BAE handle it. XIV. Transportation Rates and Services:—Curtail 10%. XV. Defense Food Program: —Abolish—let Extension handle necessary information in time of need. XVI. Other Programs:— a. Supply Program:—Curtail 25% in administration cost. b. Foreign Purchase Program: —Curtail 25 % administration cost. . , 6. SOIL CONSERVATION SER. VICE: Render technical assistance where requested, work closely with County Agent. No expansion except to move* into new counties if requested by them. 7. THE FOREST SERVICE: No expansion necessary for present emergency. 8. FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION: Curtailment rather than expansion is recommended; avoid conflict with local banks and look more toward cooperation 'with them. Those present when above proposals were adopted were: C. E. Johnson, Raymond Johnson, E. M. Jones, C. M, Ramey, John Davis, John Lawrence, J. R. Cook, Wade H., Massie, W. G. Eastham, and H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the committee. A county-wide meeting for discussions on these proposals will be held September 21, 1951 at 7:30 p.m. in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia. 9. FARMERS HOME ADMINISTRATION: Combne with- FCA and reduce expense. Too many Federal lending agencies. 10. R.E.A. Has done some good, but should bear id mind that we still believe in private enterprise and should not encroach. No expansion recommended. 11. FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE: Combine with FCA. Do not expand without support of all the people. 12. COMMODITY EXCHANGE AUTHORITY: Recommend a job similar to one done by the S.E.C., giving protection to Ow general public.

It. capacity. 1«1 W. Davis Gu A Supply FARM WOODLANDS By Caleb M. Pennock, Jr. While most people supposed the lumber industry already was us* in* everythin* about a tree except the breeze that blows through it two thirds of a tree cut for lumber is wasted. Looking at “wood waste" from another point of view, approximately 57 percent of all wood cut annually is wasted when convert* in* trees into industrial and com mercial products. The largest portion of this waste, 49 percent, is charged to what is called “primary manufacture,” that is, the turning of logs'into lumber, pulp and paper, veneer, and railroad ties. Forty-five percent is set down to logging operations, and the remaining six percent to plants making furniture, millwork and flooring from lumber. Reduction of waste can help to balance timber growth and drain but it cannot solve the total problem. The proper management of our woodlands will still be necessary to increase the rate of growth and ultimately {he sawtimber supply. Since approximately 83 percent of all our commercial timberlands are owned by farmers and other small owners, the farmer holds the key to our future timber supply. If the supply cannot meet the demand for the various wood products, the reduction of waste eftnnot possibly satisfy the total demand. Many .peopie .have .begun .to realize that a young timber stand should be thinned but they usually don’t know why, how, or when it should be done. Let’s forget about forestry for the moment and think of the average home garden. If iettuce, carrots, onions, or radishes were planted, we then each row in order to increase the quality of the crop. The same ia true when thinning trees except the thinnings within your woodlands can be utilised and so make the operation pay. Forest trees must stand together during early life if they are to develop long straight stems that are free of branches. If crowding exists too long, 'the growth of the trees will nearly come to a stand still. It is true that nature will take care of the above situation, but we can eliminate this period of decreased growth by thinning the stand. At the same time, material which would have been wasted will be utilized for a useful purposes. The time to thin'should be when the material is large enough to be used in order to help pay for the operation,. This is usally when the trees are about six inches in diameter. The trees to cut end those to seve for more growth is determined by the form end general health. It is better to grow a good red oak then e poor .white oak. Take out crooked, diseased, end damaged trees whenever their removal will benefit something better. Always remember not to cut any large openings within your woodlands. -- U. G.
