Miller, vice chairman, of Washington and John A. Tapp, regular member, of Amissville, all of whom were elected- M , Commenting on the PMA programs for 1962, Mr. Barksdale had this to say: The job of PMA committeemen and all farmers in the months ahead will be to produce the food and fiber needed _for our ever increasing population m- home, for armed forces, and for K<r friendly nations abroad. We ” inst think in terms of peak pro* dbction—yet, we cannot think only in terms of more acres and higher yields. We must think in terms of a redoubled effort in ^ conservation to offset heavy cropE ng. For this reason we must P>or« than ever pin-point our Agricultural Conservation Program to the actual needs of the individual firm. “Grassland farming is the keynote of agriculture in Virginia today. We need all the good pasture we can develops, but w;e also need to maintain our grain supplies tq bolster the production of livestock products. We intend to continue to emphasize Commodity Credit Cerporation grain loans offered through PMA to encourage farmers (to produce grain supplies with the assurance of a minimum price.” Graham Hackley Suffers Fractured Skull In Fall Graham Hackley of Amissville, J n his regular Wednesday trip'to Washington, D.C., December 5, A while loading his truck for the return trip home, slipped from the truck and fell to the cement pavement.

FIGHT T-B — BUY SEALS Further Discussions Find Supervisors Rescind Recommendations Further discussions in informal meetings, and' several letters have effected the rescinding of the recommendations made by the Board of Supervisors last week when the board called for an assistant in. the office of Commissioner of Revenue to assess tangible and intangible property. Mrs. Roberta K. Massie, Commissioner of* Revenue, states that the new plans, as recommended1 by the Board, are not satisfactory with her office, and requested that changes he postponed, following a more complete discussion and understanding. The law plainly lists that it is required of each property holder that he declare the fair market value of his property, and upon this declaration, he is assesesd. There is voiced sentiment that this plan is ineffectual, and the recommendations of the Board last week were based upon a plan ’ which has proved successful in another county in the state. As the matter stands at present, the office of the Commissioner of Revenue will remain as it is until more time and study is given and a satisfactory — or more nearly satisfactory—plan is evolved and agreed upon. -VSeal Sale Fight* For Belter Health The annual Christmas Mai sale of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association will supply funds far a health campaign which has just ■been warmly endorsed by Virginia's new State health commissioner. The executive, Dr. Mack L. Shamholtz, says: “The State Health Department regards the Virginia Tuberculosis Association and its affiliates as powerful allies in its campaign against tuberculosis. The Tuberculosis Association has always been both eager and able to cooperate in promotional and educational aspects of our Control Program to supplement Health Department personnel and funds in the carrying out of an ever-increasing number of casefinding projects, and to assist in the conducting of chest clinics, to say nothing of a well-known willingness to underwrite emergencies of every type." Dr. Shamholtz’s statement was pointed out by Robert Barrie, executive director of the Virginia Tuberculosis Association, as a sign of the effective cooperation between the State and the publicsupported local tuberculosis associations throughout Virginia in the effort to wipe out TB. “The local associations are doing a job that must be done if we are to make headway against the disease," Barrie said. “I hope that) all Virginians will realize that in responding to the 1961 Christmas) Seal sale of tuberculosis associations throughout Virginia."

Belov is * proclamation issued by GovernorJohn S. Battle urging the eitisens of Virginia to cooper1Sy in preventing traffic deaths during the dangerous holiday season. Any use to which it can be put will be very much»appreciated. Governor John S. Battle today called upon Virginia motorists and) pedestrians to use extra care and! caution in traffic during the Christmas season. “This time of year invariably sees a heavy toll of deaths and injuries,” Governor Battle said, “and this December will see also the Nation’s one millionth traffic death unless drastic efforts are made to postpone it. “This millionth death will mark a tragic and disgraceful milestone in the Nation’s traffic history and will be’all the more sorrowful coming at the height of a joyful season. I am sure we do not want the eyes of the Nation on Virginia as a state which contributed heavily in hastening this tragic event. “We must not have a repetition of last December, which saw 106 Virginia deaths, nor should we forget the many homes for which there are no cheer at Christmastime last year. I appeal to every citizen of the Commonwealth that he drive and walk with the utmost caution and consideration during the dangerous days ahead. May we all strive to postpone this millionth death and keep the horror of death or injury from our homes during the ho liday season.” --—— ‘The Time Hat Come/ Why <worry because your hair falls out?

As with every Christmas before this, folks are still teaching children to sing “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton” in place of Martin Luther5* very lovely “Away In A Manger." Now, it can be stated that "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton” is a Very charming, sentimental, English ditty, but just about as appropriate for the words of “Away In A Manger55 as “The Skaters Waltz” would be with some hymn words sung to it. Now, Bing Crosby may be a fine man, and it’s all too true, as we well know, that he is most generous with his good work such as donating l'berally to children’s playgrounds as he has done in Front Royal. But, as far as can be heard in these quarters, he either ought to learn to sing “Silent Night” according to Gruber's writing of it, or else he should pick other tunes to exercise his vocal talents. A simple 6-8 rhythm is not difficult to master, and Der Bingle cannot hide behind ignorance. It is evident he thought ■he could do better than the man who wrote the tune, so The Bing takes liberty-plus-license with the rhythm. It’s nothing to his credit, and just spoils the lovely Christmas melody for those who enjoy hearing it sung correctly. Most of us are forgiving souls. We’ll forgive—or try to, at least —those so-called musicians who jazzed up “Loch Lomond;” we’ll not assign to the lower regions those who changed Tchaikovsky’s Concerto by adding an extra beat to each measure; and we’ll overlook a lot of other butchering to favorite tunes; but when they start hacking on Christmas music it’s gone far enough. It’s time to call a halt. o o o You’ve probably heard about the fellow who said he’s noticed that family ties are stronger at Christmas time—and louder, too. o o o Another fellow was heard to say that at Christmas time we may discover that our nearest relatives are also the closest. . o o o A friend, who lives in the big yankee city, reports that he walked by a fruit stand in Richmond recently atod couldn’t resist the beauty of a large, golden apple. “I bought one,” he said, “and do you know what they charged me for it? Twenty cents!” I wasn’t real certain but- that his tone was accusing—as if, because I spend much of my time plugging the excellence of Rappahannock apples, that it was my fault the apples were so high.

The teal-life story of the orchardist is a little different, I had to inform my city friend, for the orchardist b*s to spend much of his money getting someone to buy those beautiful apples at a decided fraction of twenty cents each! (Don’t worry: I told him he could psss the word around among his city friends where they could buy those same beautiful apples by the bushel and' economize.

Two New Hybrids Go On List Two MW disease-resistant corn hybirds here been developed at Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, end will be available in limited supply in Virginia in 1952. The first developed at the Virginia Station to be recommended, the two hybirds show promise of replacing some of the older varieties. , The hybirds, result of six years of corn breeding by Dr. Clarence . F. Genter, agronomist at the Station, are VPI 645 and VPI 802 VP1 802 matures a little earlier than U.S. 262 and U.S. 357, both on the basis of silking and on the basis of moisture in the grain at harvest. It is more resistant to stalk rot and leaf blight, and stands better than those older hybirds. In 15 tests to date in Piedmont and Eastern Virginia, where it is being recommended, VPI 802 has outyielded the newer U.S. 578 by almost three bushels per acre. Ears are medium long, with good husk cover. Quality of * grain has* been good to very good in the test plots. \7DT t* a r • _ i.'iai _ • viu AO A muv IXUIU U* S. 13 in maturity. It silks about the same time, but usually carries - a little more moisture in the grain at harvest. It is quite resistant to stalk rot and to the leaf blights common in Virginia.

VPI 645 has been compared with U.S. 13 in 16 tests during the past two years, and has outyielded the older variety by a little more than five bushels per acre. In 23 tests, it has outyielded the newer U.S. 505 by more than four bushels per acre. Quality of grain ranges from excellent in western Virginia to fairly good in the costal plain, and is much superior in all cases to U.S. 13. £*ars are medium-long withsmooth-dented kernels. Plant and ear heights have measured about the same as for U.S. 13. It is recommended for general planting west of the Blue Ridge, for elevations 2,500 feet or less or similar climate conditions, and in northern Piedmont. Although it is not eligible for the recommended list in southern and eastern Virginia, having been tested there only one year, it should be tried where hybirds of U.S. 13 maturity are wanted, Dr. Genter says. Seed of the hybirds have been grown for the Experiment Station by Seed Stocks, Inc., Sandston, and will be. distributed through - the seed trade and com hybird seed producers of the Crop Improvement Association.

What preparation and ideals and thinking should we present in regard to the kissing of a “date,** ete.? It is generally supposed that a boy is the aggressor in such eases and it has been brought to our attention that this, too, is a natural outlet. I was not “prissy** in my youth, and enjoyed life in a wholesome way; however, I always had the ideal thought to keep one’s kisses for the “only one.** What would be a wholesome and yet happy—and also “spiritual** attitude 6s this question? Along this same line, in regard to an hour for getting home. The boy would see a girl home, of course, so parents have to allow this extra time for the boy. In ease his date may not have parents who require (or maybe she doesn’t wish to cooperate) a reasonable hour, what attitude should boys take- also, their parents? Remember that young people have high ideals today, even though they may sometimes behave in ways that, to say the least, bring a mild shock to those of the older generation. You may be sure that there are standards <y>ne»rnmg kissing. Young people may not save kisses for the “one and only” but they do realize that kisses become “common” if given indiscriminately. The tignifin cance of the kiss lias primarily in the meaning behind it. In some localties, a friendly goodnight kiss is accepted as a matter of course, if a couple are good friends, and is not to be confused with “petting” or “necking.” It certainly is important that we help our young people develop wholesome ideals concerning boy and girl relationships. The filmstrips, “Boy Meets Girl,” “Boy Dates Girl,” and “Boy Marries Girl” are being shown to many youth groups. The McGraw-Hill films on boy and girl relationships are excellent. Why don’t you encourage your church to provide this type of education for its young people and your children will then profit by such a program when they reach that age? This matter of the hour to get home at night is frequently a perplexing problem that creates much family discord. In general, try to be understanding of the viewpoints of your adolescent boys and girls. Frequently a compromise on the part of both adolescent and parent works fairly well. Remember that the particular hour at which one may be expected to come in depends largely upon the plans for the evening. If boys and girls realize that parents are trying to be reasonable and co. operative, they usually will be willing to let them know by phone if something occurs to keep them out after the anticipated “getting in” time. For older adolescents, many parents do not-set • definite hour but trust them to get in ^Unreasonable hour. For younger adolescents it may be necessary to be more specific as to the time to get in. * -:-^-—— * • My seventeen-month-old daughter cries and holds her body very stiff and straight oftentimes when I put her in the play pen or stroller after she has been running and playing. It is often quite embarrassing. How would you advise trying to change this before it becomes a habit? \our daughter is getting to the age where she does not like to be confined to a play pen—at least, for very long. She much prefers to run and play and it is not surprising, therefore, that she should show her dislike for returning to the play pen by holding her body stiff and straight. Such behavior’is more or less to be expected. "iou may be able to lessen the frequency of such behavior if you follow these suggestions: 1. Always give her time to get adjusted to the idea of returning to the stroller or play pen. Instead of picking her up without any notice and putting her in the pen, suggest two or three things for her to do before being put in the pen—for example, running to a tree and back twice. _ 2. Make a sort of game of getting back into the pen or stroller. Use your own ingenuity. For example, with your help see if she can “jump” into the pen. At first, lift her only part way—then finally, with great glee, lift her high m the air and into the pen. The above methods will not always be successful, of course. When they are not and your daughter falls back into the old pattern of behavior, be patient. _ter u won 1 b® lon8 “htil she is too old for a play pen or a stroller, * * • If you have a question about your child—from birth through the teens send it to Donald Mi Maynard, 810 Broadway, Nashville 2, Tennessee, to be answered through a future column in this newspaper. “'——— 1 ' -- ■ * FIGHT TB - BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS I BEST VAlUSs ’50 PLYMOUTH SP-‘ Deluxe, 4-Door ’48 FORD 2-Door PLYMOUTH 'Station Wagon OTHER MODELS PROM ’36 to ’42 RUSSELL BROS., INC.

In Rappahannock County, it is a common practice to use forest areas for grazing purposes. At the present time, approximately 67 per cent of our forest landowners pasture domestic stock in their woodland for the purpose of securing shade, shelter, exercise or food. Even though there may be considerable forage within the forest its quality is not equal to the same amount of forage grown on areas which are not forested. The feeding value of forage plants grown under the shade of a forest is much less than that of plants ' J'r.f .’■•HI.1, frown out in full studies have shownwood* grazing would produce 2f6 pounds of edible dry matter per aero, farmer* could raitfe 8,210 pound*—a ton and a half—per acre on fertilized opeD pasture*. When livestock graze within a wooded area, they are inclined to destroy or deform young seedings by eajting the leaves and tender shoots. They also destroy the rich mulch of leaves and humus on the forest floor which provides the necessary food for satisfactory timber growth. cawie are not only harmiul to young trees but they also injure the older timber growth by exposing the roots with their hoofs. As a result, the older growth of the timber is slowed down, the trees often develop dead tops, and the life of a tree is shortened. The physical condition of the trail is injured by the trampling of the animals which compacts and hardens the soil. Such a soil condition is unfavorable for the establishment of future timber growth. After the present trees on the area are mature and harvested, there will not be any young, immature trees on the area to take their place. As a result,'if the owner desires the area to remain as a woodland, it will be necessary to replant the area with seedlings by hand. This will delay the reaping of another crop from your forests for many years longer than necessary. Good cattle and good pastures go together. A fence between the forest land and the pasture land insures that neither the trees nor the cattle will suffer from inter TUNE IN WINTER COMFORT! t Easy as switching on your radio or TV set—that's automatic oil heat.

Front Royal, Va. Sawdust Valuable As Farming Aid Sawdust from old sawmill sets, or shavings from planing mills, can help improve your farm. Forrest Patton, asociate forester at VPI, says sawdust and shavings, with the addition of ammonium sulphate at the rate of 60 pounds iper ton, have beneficial effects when mixed with any soil. They; improve the physical as well as the chemical properties of the soil by forming humus Sawdust and shavings also are acceptable mulching materials, as shown by their use in nurseries, orchards, and farms. 'Mulching in> sulates the soil and conserves moisture. It also keeps down weeds and grass. Large quantities of sawdust, shavings, and certain other residues, are used in poultry houses. Coarse wood chips also appear to be an ideal form of litter. -w Pork Grading New grade standards for slaughter hogs and carcasses, now being proposed by the United States Department of Agriculture might be a practical solution $o some of the problems involved in hog marketing, in the belief of A, T. Lassiter, associate animal husbandman at V. P. I. He says the new grades, which are confined to gilt and barrow carcasses, could be used to recognize and identify hogs of various degrees of fatness and quality. . . factors which have been overlook. ffMBBBBBSSBnBBBni ed so many tines when hogs are sold on a weight classification basis only. With the proposed grade standards in operation, hog producers would have more incentive to select, b^eed, and feed for the type of hog that better meets the needs of consumers and processors, Lassiter believes. With an adequate pricing method of the grades, the prices received should reflect he quality of the product marketed. Lassiter says the new grades will not necessarily mean more money for all hogs, but should make for a more equitable distribution of money paid for hogs. Extra Rations Advised For Ewes Due To Lamb Ewes due to lrfhb within the next month should be getting ex‘tra grain now, says George Litton, associate animal husbandman at V.P.I. Ewes which are allowed to lose weight in late pregnancy are subject to lambing paralysis, Litton warns. The ewes should get about 1/4 pound extra grain daily from about a month before lambing up until about a week before, when the extra ration should be increased to about 1/2 pound. . If pastures are skimpy, the ewes also should be given some legume hay such as alfalfa, lespedeza, or clover. As soon as the ewes lamb, increase their feed to one and a half pounds of a grain mixture containing up to IS per cent pro teha. If the ewes get good, leafy alfalfa or lespedesa hay, a protein content 6f 18 to 14 percent in the grain mixture is enough. Litton alto says that ewes should be sheared on the back quarters and around the udders a month before lambing. The’ wool, which otherwise would become soiled then can be sold as top quality. All sheep should have wool sheared off their heads now. If it is left until spring, it will become • “Picked” and soiled when the sheep put their heads in feeding racks, etc., this winter.

Out of date, for example, are the practices of soaking clothing for hours, bleaching by the bottleful, bluing without discretion, starching stiff as a board. — .Such practices are not followed because they are not needed; and) because they are damaging to garments. Over-washing does not make clothes cleaner. Instead it tends to deposit soil after about 15 minutes’ washing time. Over-washing is really over-wearing clothes, •wastes time and electricity, and adds to wear on the washing machine. Over-night soaking is outmoded, too, Mias Fuss says.

Davis Street CULPEPER Top-Dress Pastures For Maximum Grazing Fertilizers pastures properly for maximum grazing. This means, in part, says W. W. Lewis, associate agronomist at VPI, that if your pastures are good, keep them good by topdressing. If they are poor improve them -with top-dressing. For ladino clover-grass mixtures (if the balance is 50-50 or 60-40), top-dress in late fall, winter, or very early spring with 500 to 800 pounds to the acre of 0-1414 or 2-12-12 fertilizer. If a soil test shows your soil is low in potash, use 0-10-20 instead. If grass in the mixture is thinning out, top-dress in winter or very early spring with 500 to 800 pounds per aere of 5-10-10 fertilizer. This should increase the amount of grass. Let grass grow up to 12 to 15 inches tall in spring before grazing or cutting for hay or &lage. If the clover is thinning out, top-dress with phosphate and potash. Keep grasses grazed or clipped close in early spring and during late summer. If potash is low, topdress with 0-10-20. If pasture is overgrazed and has a poor stand of ladino clover, use phosphate and potash and re-seed ladino clover. You can re-seed ladino by disking the sod lightly, broadutea’ soaking time is generally enough for maximum soil removal. Long soaking in a bleach solution weakens fibers. casting the Med, and cultipacking it. G rasing the grass down closely and quickly (within 2 days) in early spring will help the ladmo clover seedlings get staretd. Other tips on top-dressing pastures are included in Circular 533, “For Top Pastures, Top-Dress.” See your county agent, or write the agriculural extension service at VPI, Blacksburg, for a free copy.

This bedroom furniture takes its name from—Dorothy Robinson ... a very - real person, who today represents the fifth generation of her family . . . and it is in the old/Robinson Family Home, which dates bade to 1838, that we “discovered” some original antiques to give us the inspiration for ere• ating the reproductions pictured herewith. Not all “old” furniture is worthy of reproduction and thesame..is true q/.so^ so-calle^_ colonial antique*-—but once $h a long time we come upon a “gem” piece—so delicate in proportion and style as to literally label itself a masterpiece—and that is what we discovered in the old family home—a bed and dresser, more than 150 years old prob ably, but perfect in that kind of perfection you can see at a glance. So we copied these pieces and from them created the necessary companion pieces to make the Dorothy Robinson Group; authentic to the last detail, even to the solid mahogany used throughout, and the Colonial design that is our Early American Heritage. A smooth hand-robbed satin finish brings out and protects the beauis of the highest standards with smooth work- * ing drawers and du^ proof partitions between all drawers.

D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing specialist at V.P.I., says this means Virginia will have to give more attention to quality, size and selection of the time of marketing. Percentage increases in the new areas may exceed those in Virginia, but continued expansion in Virginia seems justified within the limits of the management capacity of the individual growers, he believes. Increased production of small turkeys, with relatively favorable prices, also is foreseen. Virginia S-owers can expect a possible deine in their relative importance as growers of lightweight turkeys Misses Rose Mary and Romona Wire were week-end guests of Dr. and Mrs. Pendleton at the Rectory. m other areas expand, Livermore say*. OveraH, individual producers will need to reduce costa, and the industry will need to continue good marketing methods and maintain a high quality product in ‘ order to compete satisfactorily. As for eggs—Livermore says this looks like a good year to raise more pullets. A good demand for top quality eggs in Virginia markets is expected. Average per capita production of eggs in Virginia in 1960 was 378 eggs, or 17 eggs less, than the national per capita consumption. The deficit is still greater this year. Livermore says every year eggs are shipped into Virginia from other areas to supply the demand. Prices in Virginia average higher than in surplus areas. Profits for the individual producer may be increased by producing more eggs for summer and fall marketing. This requires starting early hatched chicks of a good laying strain. For egg production, don't buy chicks that wer^ meant to be broilers.

F—dir Pif Sales Advocated A to eth od of improving Virthrough organised feeder pig sales ginia’s marketing system of pigs is advocated by A. T. Lassiter, Jr., associate animal husbandman at V.P.I. He says there are several sections in the State particularly well suited for the growing and sale of feeder pigs. On farms where extra grain is produced, and where ladino clover or some other good pasture is grown, a feeder pig program could be worked profitably into the farm operation. To date only two feeder pig sales have been held in Virginia... those in Goochland county, where Lassister says, the demand far exceeded the supply. He explains that the aim was to provide farmers in the area, who produce more pigs than needed for home consumption, a market, and also to provide commercial feeders and others a quality feeder pig. At the first sale, it was evident the commercial feeders liked the deal, Lassie ter says. AH pigs nominated for the sale were inspected by a sales com- ( mittee and were: treated for inter, nal parasites, were at least eight weeks old and weighed at least 50 pounds. All were thrifty add healthy; and all males were castrated before weaning. At the second sale a marked improvement was evident in the quality of the feeders, and the average weight was greater, Lassiter says. The second consignment averaged 70 pounds and sold fot an average of |10.64 per head. 'He behoves the Goochland sales may point the way to improved marketing methods and another source of income for Virginia farmers. -yMake your holiday* plan* to attend the DANCE at SPERRYVILLE, DECEMBER 28.

There are many i drugs which can only be sold on the prescription of a licensed physician; still other drugs, in certain quantities, fan be sold over the counter but the purchaser must sign his name and state the purpose for which his purchase is intended.

Lespedeza Seed Shortage Looms For Coming Year Virginia farmers, along with those throughout the nation, will be faced with shortages of lespedeza seed for planting in the spring of 1352. W. W. Lewis, agronomist at VPI, says reports show the 1961 acreage of lespedeza seed to be tl)e smallest since 1937, and 14 pfer cent below last year. In Virginia, seed growers are expected to produce only 3,600,000 pounds as compared with 6,120.000 pounds for the 1940-49 average. In the United States, production is expected to be 150,750.000 pounds in 1352, as compared with 192,011,000 for the 1940-49 average. There has been some interest indicated on the part of farmers in substituting Kobe for Korean lespedeza. Lewis says that Kobe may be seeded successfully, with favorable tonnage and quality, in lower elevations of the state such as Piedmont and Eastern Virginia. Indications are that Kobe can not be successfully produced in higher elevations in Virginia. -afFIGHT T-B — BUY SEALS MAMIES ARE BRIDGE HOSTS Mr. and Mrs. Wade H.
