Subscription:-$2.00 a year CONSERVATION— The dictionary says conservation is the act of “keeping feallfe safe or sound state.” Conservation usually mean* common-sense and good business in order to keep your future in a “safe or sound state.” Conservation Week, as it ii being celebrated this week, is a remainder to n&n of his put negligence, a warning for the present, and a grim pointing of the finger to inevitable failure if he does not keep the land in a “safe and sound” condition. It is unfair to lay too much blame upon our early forefathers for their carelesstreatment of the land. When our founding fathers began in this new country, they did over-work the land because! there was so much of it; when one farm was depleted, there were untold thousands of acres lying to the west. That much of the land depletion is true, but those men had come from England, Scotland, and Wales, where land and resources were scarce and they knew the consequences. Their frugal natures and years of using small amounts of land gave them habits of careful land use. The bulk of the blame has to be laid on later years of the nation’s history. It is pretty safe to say that the past hundred years have been the most wasteful. Until an acute problem arose, like the terrible dust storms man did not fully realize what he was doing to himself and his future by znis-using the land. ' * A concentrated program Of conservation is now in progress and has been going for some years. Results are beginning to show.; Where the word conservation means “keeping in a safe and sound state,” many of the lands are having to be “put back” Into that shape before the “keeping” can begin. Game reserves have been created to protect man from his own destructiveness. The great American buffalo got to be a zoo animal before conservation practices stepped into prevent the wholesale slaughter. The same practices are being used to save the deer, fish of the streams, birds, and other wildlife. In our own country a winning battle is in progress against the enemy, soil erosion. Construction of farm ponds is meaning saving water and furnishing protection against fire. Forest harvesting practices are being encouraged to help save the nation’s lumber. It is an odd commentary that the men who work with the nation’s conservation program have to “sell” most people on the idea of taking the best care of their land. One would think that the land and forest owner would seek help in learning the way to best use his land to his own advantage, but often it is not true. Sometimes a landowner resents being told that what he is doing and what his father did before him are not the best practices for the good of the land. But, with a true eye for his own good, once a land owner learns what is best and begins to see results of conservation practices, then he is all sold and a firm believer. Helping families to develop good, well-balanced farming systems to iit their individual farms is the biggest contribution that the Farmers Home Administration makes to the preservation of Virginia’s natural resources^ According to the FHA supervisor the best way to conserve * farm is to farm it like it should be farmed. When lending money to help a family to farm better and live better the Administration also supplies technical guidance and assistance throughout the life of the loan.” The Farmers Home Administration is enthusiastically participate «ng in Governor John S. Battle’s request that during the week of October 21-28 special emphasis be y lac ad on the importance of conserving the State’s soil, water, forest and wildlife resources. The Governor pointed out that the wel1111 *K>up« is directly deP«went upon what can be produced from the land. The FHA helps farm families on the program to diversifv their operations to the extent needed with a proper r between crops and livestock. This involve. THE AMERICAN WAY • QUIT P)CK/N6 ON MB f Always Crabbing ‘The Time Hoe Come* tk» WJtm mU . t . In •'country newspaper appeared the following ad: “The man who picked up my wallet on Main Street was recognized. He is requested to return it.” In the next issue the reply was periment Station in giving larmiers the latest developments in better farming methods that have been proven by test and this results in better farming which in turn results in greater conservation of resources. FHA fanners are participating actively in the Virginia Pasture Program by establishing new pastures and re-establishing old pastures according to approved methods. In addition to help from the county agents, the facilities and services of the Soil Conservation Service and tht Production and Marketing Administration are made available to families through close cooperation with these agencies. He said that the SCS technicians give valuable technical assistance, especially concerning land capability, and that the farm conservation allowances through PMA mean mote soil-building grasses and legumA. Better management is resulting in a new appreciation of fewest land as a source of products other than firewood, and a* cover for wildlife. Fanners Home Administration efforts are directed toward the families who cannot comply with the regulations of. other lenders, such as banks, insurance companies, Production Credit associations, and others.

A speaker at one of the first meetings of the convention warned that the “future generation must assert itself better than the present one if mankind is tq progress more swiftly down the road to happiness and security.” That’s a lot of big words and a long sentence. But, then, this is a. big country, spread over a long piece of territory. We admit the country isn’t all It should be. They tell me my grandfather disapproved of parts of the government and the running of the country too. He was a lieutenant in the cavalry of the C.8.A. and times and circumstances were a little trying. However, despite times and conditions, he managed to rear his family, and, if they weren’t all perfect, they managed to be fairly substantial citizens. They also tell me that my grandfather’s grandfather didn't exactly approve of everything that was done in the*running of the. country, either. He probably -voiced the opinion that the “future generation must assert itsSlf better” and to it probably added, “I don’t know what’s to become °*younger generation!” To further Hie story, they also t*U me that another numberless c & c I pRWE-lN THEATRE r On Strasburg Road FRONT ROYAL 2 SHOWSt 7 and 9 P.M.

The total pasture acreage should be treated and improved, with 373,000 acres of pasture to be developed and seeded to recommend pasture mixture. The total hayland should be seeded and maintained in « high state of-productivity to insure feed for the present livestock. It will be necessary to drain 04.000 acres of land. This will require 748 miles of tile and 2,332 teniles of open ditches. Much of the work has been done. Many contractors are investing money in hsuvy equipment that has been done. Many contractors are investing money in heavy equipment that an individual farmer could not afford, although farming is a big business in itself. About 45 miles of tile have been laid and 182 mi. of open ditches cut. About 250 miles of terraces and diversion ditches have also been constructed. Over 500 farm ponds «ome 118,000 acres. Water Recognized As Critical Natural Resource Water is coining to be recog* nixed as the nation’s most critical natural resource. Water for domestic use, water for livestock, water for industry, and .water for irrigating farm lands throughout the West. Water shortage put New York ■City in the headlines a year ago. This year it is a hundred other smaller communities. People dare not wash cars, or water gardens. Eagerly sought industries are turned away for lack of water; and a booster for one of the great winter playground and vegetable areas, says: “We can ha\Vpeople or crops, but there is not enough water for both.” - Water—Where does it come come from? When cooled, clouds refresh the earth with rain or and they are subject to evaporation polution. Ground .water avoids these handicaps and insures the best possible water at the least expense. What dan be done to increase the ground water? Forests are certainly one answer. A dense forest, with a thick and undisturbed carpet of fallen leaves, affords greater protection against run off aad erosion, and puts more water into the soil than any other cover. And it is forests bf this kind which yield the best timber. acre to 100.6 bushels. The succeeding wheat crop also benefited. The wheat following thenon-phosphate corn crop yielded only 5.7 bushels per acre; while th*t following the corn crop which was fertilised with phosphate yielded 15.7. Although heavier applications of phosphate resulted in still higher yields, the difference was noli enough to make the heavy application economical. ~ Response to potash was slight in both corn and wheat, because of the high potash content of the soil. Highest corn yield in the test was 111.2 bushels . . . with 400 pounds of phosphate and 192 pounds of potash, but Luts points out that this is only slightly more than the yield attained with the lower level of phosphate and no potash. Nitrogen applications were constant . . . 150 pounds per acre on all plots. The test was conducted on lowphosphate soils on ‘‘Brush Mountain" a few miles from Blacksburg. The fertilizer in all cases was applied on the corn. Miss Mattie Rector is spending several days with Mrs. John Johnson on the Red Oak.

My neighbor brnn^dkam his small child doesn’t obey. Ia oar even thought they shoe Id obey. We have loved them and let them feel free to do what they wanted to do eo long a* they didn’t hart themselves or others. Are we softies? Had you said that you simply loved year children and left diem free to do whatever they wanted, I certainly would have said that you were softie* I Bat you didn’t quite sty that. You added the phrase, “so long as they didn’t hurt themselves or others.*’ In other words, you an not giving them unlimited freedom. But what is your policy when they an about to hint themselves or others? Don’t yqp expect them to obey then? My guess is that you do, and if you do, then I don’t think you and your husband an softies! I judge from your comments that yon are taking a stand against those parents who make almost a fetish oat of obedience. They exercise their authority as parents just for the joy of doing so, and they expect their children to obey just because they an children. They an the “do this because I told you" nil You most assuredly an right in protesting against such an unintelligent me of authority and the expectation of Mind obedience. Nevertheless, then an times when obedience ia essential, as yea imply in your question. A child who never obeys, who runs roughshod over all the others in the home, who gives expression to every whim or fancy, is not only a peat to all those with whom he cornea in contact, bat also it ill prepared to take his place ia the school room, on the playground, or anywhere fat the life of the world. Our responsibility es parent*, therefore, is to use authority wisely and so to guide oar children that they will obey cheerfully and promptly when it is necessary because they have discovered that we do not ask for obedience we have a good reason for doing so.—--rI have one child—a little girl fifteen coaid walk around her crib (about eight sleep when 1 put her to bed. I let her cry to become very much apart, losing her dinner, etc. Now I simply rock her to sleep or lie down on . nay bed with her. I am wondering how I am going to change her habit. She is already used to going to sleep by music. What do yon suggest that 1 do? Yon realize, of course, that it is exceedingly difficult to change the habits of e child after they once are formed. In year particular situation, your little daughter undoubtedly finds a sense of security and a feeling of importance in the experience of being rocked -to sleep or of having you lie down on the bed beside her. You cannot hope to break up this habit quickly, without leaving undesirable emotional scars, but you are quite right in feeling that die should begin to learn to go to sleep by herself. Your task is to help her learn to do ' this without being plunged into a feeling of insecurity and uncertainty. One or more of the following suggestions may be helpful: 1. Gradually eliminate the rocking to alevpt ,bnt continue for a time to lie down on the bed with her. 2. Some evening, when the child is feeling well and you have had a quiet, happy time together, tell her that instead of lying on the bed, you are going to sit in a chair by the bedside. She may whimper some, but if* you are firm but kind, and perhaps hold her hand for a night or two, she will become accustomed to your not lying down with her. As she gets older, reading or telling a goodnight story and of having a prayer ia a good idea. “ —- 3. After the chihfhas become accustomed to this procedure, it wBl not heap difficult to plan for an evening when you will tell her that you are going to be in the next room while she goes to sleep. Again, she may cry a bit, and if die seems to be somewhat frightened and fa slow in going to *le$p, h may be desirable for you to go to her occasionally for reassurance. Guard against doing this too frequently, however. 4 If she is accustomed to a soft light in the room or in the hall, let her have one. It is better, bowCvef, if the room can be dark and the house can be free from any unusual or distracting noises. Be sure, too, that she does not have any exciting experience* just before going to bed, such as being the center of attention in a group of people, or having a big romp with her father.

The whitetail delr has been re* stored to Virginia’s mountains. . A long-range program of the (State Game Commission aims at greatly increased wildlife supplies throughout the State. Commission officials, who for many years operated their program with an annual fund, less than that used by the City of Richmond taking care of garbage, say nevertheless, that every year there has been a gradual strengthening of the game management setup. For instance, the State turkey farm in Cumberland county has worked , out a system under which pure wild turkey hens are mated - with native gobblers in the wild.' “In the vast areas of the State, in which turkeys have become extinct, wild brood stocks are being restored by releasing purebred wild turkeys raised in captivity,” they say. Studies of quail in Virginia are giving the Commission a betteridea of how to manage the quail crop. They found that there is an average annual loss of 42.7 per cent of aR the quail which survive the hunting season. These losses in late winter and early spring can be attributed directly to undernourishment, the officials say. The study revealed that the most' important matter in maintaining • and increasing supplies of such! game as quail is improvement of food and cover conditions. Increasing wildlife * supplies in Virginia will take help, the officials say. They point out that “the farmer is the key man. in producing enough food for game.” During tiie past two years privatelyowned lands, including over 1,000,800 acres have been permanently improved for game through “intelligent” plantings, and the Commission is making a major education effort to “bring to the farmers keener realization of the value of game.” Your local Soil Conservation District can help you increase the number of birds on your farm. The Commission officials say they are ready to give farmers “Active” assistance in all matters' pertaining to the State's wildlife.. In addition to furnishing vast quantities of slips and seeds of desirable plants free to those who will use them, the Commission has trained personnel who will give individual farms help. In habitat improvement, the soil conservation districts and the Game Commission, cooperate. “Habitat improvement for game ties in directly with control of erosion,” they point out The importance of the wildlife resources on which the recreations of hunting and fishing depend, is shown by the estimate that hunters and anglers are spending more than 100,000,000 in Virginia this year. “Prom an economic standpoint, hunting and fishing have an impact on the State's economy ranking abraist of the major industries,” they report There are 298,000 licensed hunters in the State, and their numbers are increasing steadily from year to year. - • : • -V" fi*"/ '■M&fiiii4&*awdS tian .. ■ .. ,Wrf4 ■ *‘ f.7.i at 7:30 in 1 of Sperryv,_„ __ Mrs. Nina Brown, president, presided and read the Scripture leason, Psalm 96:, 7-13, followed by prayer.

However, over a period of weeks the individual would suffer and his foot would hurt. We are hurting our fanning system today by not doing what the land is capable of doing. We should make every effort to develop a scientific farm program for the proper use and protection of* all the land on the farm—crop land, forest land, pasture land, idle land, gullies, and all—-according to its capability, and to treat it according to its needs. Classes of land according to use capability are determined by considering the physical factors influencing land use. The1 factors include soil conditions, slope, kind and degree of erosion, climate, and drainage. The Soil Conservation Service recognizes eight classes which are listed and explained below. A. Suitable fur Cultivation: Clara 1. Without special practices. (Fertilizer and simple crop rotations may be used.) Class 2. With simple practices. (Such as contour cultivation or strip cropping.) Clara 8. With complex or intensive practices. (Usually a combination of practices are needed.) Clara 4. With intensive practices and limited use. (Long rotation with no row crops, or cultivated in small acreages. B. Not Suitable for Cultivation: Clara 5. Without special practices. (Crazing land to fullest capacity; normal logging operations if in woodland.) Class 8. With moderate restriction in use. (Rotation grazing; logging operations under soil protecting practices.) Clara 7. With severe restrictions in use. (Limited grazing; highly selective logging operations.) Clara 8. With or without special practices.- (Adapted to wildlife habitat only.) To illustrate the factors considered in determining a class of land, here is a brief description of Class 1 land: It is first of all, land highly suitable for cultivation, for it does not have a permanently high water table; neither is it stony or spotted with rock ledges. Furthermore, row crops can be raised without appreeiablbe danger of erosion. Finally, it retails and supplies sufficient moisture and plant food to maintain the soil in a state of high productivity. Thus we can see how the classification of land according to its capabilities is based upon the ability ..of. land to produce. Land, like people, varies in this ability. Prices Forecast For Fruits, Vegetables Apple prices this fall are expected to be near those for the 19>50 crop, but an increase is in view for the winter apples. Dr. J. L. Maxton, marketing specialists at V.P.I., says the fall apple crop is larger this year than last. The main fall apple on the market is the Jonathan—good for fresh eating and for cooking. The crop of winter apples, particularly of thd Delicious variety, is smaller than last year, so there’ll be fewer going into cold storage, and prices likely will be' somewhat higher. . xt-:.Mrs. Henry Bolner and Mrs. Iva Singleton of Zanesville, Ohio, are visiting at the homeof Mrs. Maude Gore, who has just returned from a visit in Ohio.
