VOLUME 3 — NUMBER 12 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1952 Nelson Atkins Declared 1951 Cora King Nelson Atkins of Flint Hill was declared Rappahannock Com King at the annual 100-Bushel Corn Club banquet held Monday night at the Town Hall in Washington. With a per acre yield of 126.30 bushels, Mr. Atkins bested his pearest competitor, Earl Kilby of. Jperryville, by eight bushels. ■ County Agent W. H. Lyne, in Reporting the winning record, said, a*Just in case you think these fellows are flash-in-the-pan producers, here are their official records: ItUon Atkins Earl Kilby 126.86 ... 1961 ___ 118.30 113.16 — 1960 ___ 117.26 130.20 1949 122.2 unknown _ 1949 _123.99 “Todate,” continued Bill Lyne, "Mr. Kilby is the only senior in the organization and has a perfect record for four years, (while Mr. Atkins, it is noted, first entered the contest in 1949.” At the banquet Mr. Atkins voiced his determination to retire the sterling silver challenge trophy by winning it in 1962 and ’63. Each annual winner is allowed possession of this trophy, which was donated by Rappahannock Supply and Southern States for one year and must produce the highest yield three years for it to income the producers permanent personal property. Previous annual winners were: 1948 -James W. Fletcher L»49.- -J. E. Keyser, Sr. I960 _ _ _— r. . _ IT__EarT J. ‘Kill# Mow that Mr. Fletcher fongr grows corn, and in view of Mr. Keyser’s retiring from farmng, it would appear the race has narrowed down to an Atkins-Kilby sffair, but there are others to be considered. Third place Winner vas W. G. Eaatham, with 114.66 mshels per acrei and in fourth >lace was Milton C. Gore, with 13.5 bushels. ICvlly Updike Is Junior Winner Kelly Updike, son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Updike, won the junior division by producing 123.9 mshels' per acre, while his brother, Randall Updike, produced 120.64 bushels -to win second, with Newbill Miller coming out third with 100.65 bushels per acre.

Betty is redecorating her room in the Room Improvement 4-H project. Mr. Curtis E. Blyfe, representative of Bherwin Williams Co. demonstrat. ed application of rubber base (paint with roller. It proved to be easy to apply and requiring of less (time and lees paint. Other members of the county Paula Miller. Miss Ruth Jamisoti, house furnishing specialist from V.P.I. conducted a leader training meeting Friday at the Sperryville School Auditorium. Miss Jamison demonstrated that much electricity is wasted in the home because of incorrect lighting. For example: 100 watt bulb, dirty from inside will produce 20 feet candles while new. 100 watt bulb will produce 60 foot candles. A foot candle is a measure of light of a candle one foot away. For general light 16-20 foot candles are required. An adult requires at least 50 foot candles for reading. A good table lamp for reading should be 17" high and placed 20” away from center of your work. In other words the lamp should be in line with your’ shoulder to give best light. Use a 156 watt white indirect light bulb without a diffusing bowl or a 156 watt bulb plus a defusing bowl. Game Warden’s Life Anything But Rosy The life of a game warden isn’t a rosy one, as many seem to think. Long hours and little sleep is the Tule with them as is shown by the Warden Activities Report for the month of December. During the thirty-one days of December the Commission’s 138 wardens, conservation officers, am£ wardecb-superwsors traveled 285,000 -miles over the State, making a total of <422 arrests of game, -fish, and dog law violators, and checking 25,206 dog, Ashing, and hunting licenses. During December the 138 wardens worked a total of 31,835 hours for an average of 230 hours for each warden. Par above average was 376 hours worked by a few of the (wardens. Considering that there axe only 720 hours in a 30-day month, some wardens were in the field over 50 per cent of the entire month. _v-:r; * “ -— wr*TWO ENTER ARMED FORCES Robert Chadwell of Httntly and James Grigsby of Flint Hill left Tuesday, January 22, for Wash* ington, D.C„ where they will enter the armed forces. Rappahannock Wins Better Sires Contest Rappahannock county, with a total of 94 meat anmal sires placed there during the last year, has ■been named winner of the 1951 “better sires” contest. George Herring, animal husbandman at VPI, says the Rappahannock report shows a total of 56 bulls, 31 rams, and 7 boars placed in the county. Jtegi&teration name and number or each sire is required to count toward the award. The award is made on a point basis, with greater credit given for sires placed in counties of smaller livestock population. This tends to equalize the opportunity of winning, Herring explained. The total sires placed in the project in 1951 reached a new high of 2,833 in 40 counties as compared to 2,133 in 43 counties in 1950. The total included 1*412 beef bulls, 860 rams, and 561 boars. The contest is conducted by the animal husbandry department at VPI in cooperation with the codnty agents of 40 leading livestock counties in Virginia. As the farm agent of the winning county, W. H. Lyne *wfll he given a trip to the International Livestock Exposition at Chicago, Illinois, next fall. Engagement Announced Mrs. Helen B. Bruce announces the engagement of her daughter, Elma Davis, to A. L. (Buddy) Mias Bruce is a graduae of Sperryville High (School and ilso attended Strayers Business College of Washington, D. C. She is now employed by the Department of Defense. Buddy Smith is a graduate of Haymaricet High School and is now employed by the Chespe&ke and Potomac Telephone Company of Fairfax.

They’ve had to keep in a dog-trot to get all the woric done. At one time during the first two weeks of the year there were 40 quarters of beef on hand for processing for home use. During the hog-killing season of the late fall and up to Christmas, 36,000 pounds of pork were processed. All the lockers at the Sperryville plant are not locally rented, for the excellent reputaton of Wilson Woodard in processing of food has spread until some of the lockers are now rented by neighboring city-dwellers. -T*WASHINGTON W.S.C.S.

Thursday, February 6, Woodville, Henry Wood’s Store Building. ALL CLINICS WILL BE HELD FROM 1 TO 4 IN THE AFTERNOON. All dogs must be vaccinated at ~ one of the above clinics, the clinic can’t come to the dog. If you haven’t read the county ordinance pertaining to rabies vaccination get a copy of the Rappahannock News, (January 10 or 17 issues) and youf will find it under “Notice” on the last page of either issue. It will be necessary that dog owners cooperate fully with these clinics as there are approximately 1700 dogs in the county to be vaccinated in a. total of fifteen hours. Members of the Rappahannock Hunt will assist at each clinic and with their help, the help of the owners; and the veterinarian can get the job done. Here are ways dog owners can vlt Xw XtHguv be a good idea to fasten your dog up the night before the clinic. 2. Bring your dog to the clnic on a chain, lease, or some sort of lead to prevent fights. 3. Taka youri dog to the clinic nearest you preferably in your magisterial district if possible. 4. Wear a pair of leather gloves. Most dogs will have been vaccinated before they realise it however many gentle dogs don’t like strangers. It will be noticed that no clinic has been scheduled in Hawthorne district which we regret however this office with the help of the Health office has done the best they could. Clinics being underway in Fauquier and Warren counties have the veterinarians quite busy over and above their usual busy practice. The situation is serious, however not alarming, and all dogs should be vaccinated as soon as 'possible. 1 Should any reader have had his or her dog vaccinated last spring or summer in connection with the Flint Hill Clinic or privately it is (See RAPP-CHATS, page 8) Anne Dwyer To Receive BA From Howard College Anne L.

Brown, who led forth the devotional and the program. The topic for the month was, “What Bring We To Our Savior.’* A round table discussion with different members taking part was hjsld. There were seven members Rabies Increasing Among Animals Rabies is spread chiefly by dogs but man and all warm blooded animals are susceptible. Rabiea incidence is highest in late winter an spring, although it occurs in every season. In as much as the dog as a house hold pet comes in closest contact with man, prevention of rabies in human is primarily directed dogs. The rabies virus must be passed through a bite of wound to perpetuate the disease and there is no case on record where eating meat or drinking milk of an infected animal has caused rabies. SYM'PTONS OF RABIES IN ANIMALS. Animals, affected with the vicious or furious type of rabies, are nervous and exciteable and in the early stages, will run away and shy at the slightest noises. They wander ^nany miles and at times will attack any man or animal that happens to cross its path. If they don’t die in a spastic fit at this stage, they twill then pass into dumb stage before death. Animals affected with the dumb type usually do not wander or attack other animals. 'Paralysis sets in early, the jaws gape, swallowing becomes painful and finally impossible., Saliva drips from their mouths and within two or three days paralysis increases to such a degree they fall into a coma and die. Persons may become infected with this type in attempt* tog to treat the throat f the sick •deg, believing it ill from other cause. Animals suffering from rabies are without fear and the disease apparently makes them insensible to pain; blows or gun shots do not frighten them. Rabid wild animals will enter farm premises and fearlessly attack dogs or humans. Another characteristic of rabid animals is the tendency on the part of the animal to chew hard objects such as wood, rocks, or even glass. Horses and cattle will be nervous and exciteable and bite their stalls or mangers, sometimes hard enough to break their teeth. WHAT TO DO IP BITTEN BY A DOG. Rabies is contracted chiefly through bites. Immediately wash the wound with soap and water and encourage bleeding. This removes most of the saliva including the virus if the animal has rabies. See your doctor and let him decide whether further local treatment or vaccine treatment should be given. WHAT TO DO WITH SUSPECTED ANIMALS. Even if the biting dog appears to have rabies it should not be hilled unless necessary but should be locked up for a period of seven days. This allows time for observation and prevents animals escape if he does 1 have the disease. An animal with rabies always dies within 10 days ■of beginning symptons. During the early stages of the disease it is often impossible to determine whether or not the animal is in- * fected, but if it dies or is killed labfe m cuseinftf laboratory diagnosis is fairly easily. Do not shoot the animal through the head or hit him on the head as the brain only* is used for laboratory diagnosis. If a wild animal bites a domesticated one, it is advised to confine the animal bitten until an examination can be done on Hie animal biting. If this examination, is not possible it is suggested that the animal be confined for identification and a veterinaran be contacted regarding paateur treatment if animal is a valuable one. Sometimes the negri bodies which are characteristic of rabies do not show up in early stages of the disease. ^ 7 . 11

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 Publication Could Go The Whole Way An editor of a paper in Georgia has come out with a continuance of the subject regarding publication of relief, rolls. Says the genleman: “When it comes to the question of publicity of those on relief rolls, we would go a • step farther. There is no reason why there should not be full publicity of all those who receive money from the Federal Government, whether on ( the payroll, the pension list, or any other group refceiving money'from the government. The same rule should be applicable to state, county, and city governments as well.” Continuing thejine of thought in making all public business public, a suggestion arises that there be a list of taxes paid. This published list would show how much each citizen of the county contributes to the support of the government in real estate and personal property taxes. ..

Abbreviation of the state can become confusing, what with individualism .in handvmting as it is. There’s Va., Pa., and Ga., and the possibility that the one distinguishing capital letter may be smeared beyond recognition by a drop of rain or a fingernail scratch. The capital letter O. might mean Ohio, Oklahoma, or Oregon. The post office department reports there are seven cities named Pittsburg, three Pittsburgh, 23 Cleveland, 17 Springfield, 19 Jackson, 16 Independence, 27 Washington, and 18 Columbus. Without a clear state name after the city, the post office worker has no idea where to send the letter.

Extensions of those rural roads through citiea totaling 223 miles, would require additional expenditures of from $6,800,000 to $9,500,000 annually. These findings are contained in an engineering appraisal \ which , was recently completed in Virginia to help determine minimum requirements essential to sustain highway transportation at reason-* able levels of efficiency and safety during the national defense period. The study was made by the Automotive Safety Foundation, of Washington, and was financed jointly by the Virginia Department of Highways and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads. The report was presented to General James A. Anderson, Highway Department Commissioner, in a formal ceremony this morning by Col. Carl E. Fritts, Vice-President-in-Charge of Engineering of the Automotive Safety Foundation. The higher cost estimates are WASHINGTON THEATRE s start at 7:15 and 9 P.

Tim lower figures are for the minimum program which would have t6 be carried out during a period of manpower, materials and equipment shortages. While the study covered ofily 2,700 miles of highways and their urban extensions of the state’s 51,00-mile system those studied routes carry half of all rural travel. Although needs, developed in the study are limited to key routes, they are considered indicative of the scope of Virginia’s overall road and street problem. The engineering analysis discovered that the backlog of needs, largely attributable to World War II and to rapid increases in traffic, embrace 800 of the 2,475 rural miles. It was found that 746 miles) will become deficient during the next 10 years, and that the balance of 929 miles will remain tolerable for that period. The report shows that most of the arterial streets studied now are carrying traffic so far beyond practical capicity that extensive physical improvements are needed. In making the study, the Sufficiency Rating method was used mile by mile to guage structural condition, ability to handle traffic, and safety elements. These ratings, indicating relative need, were used as a tool in determining relative adequacy. Detailed needs were determined by use of “tolerable standards” which were developed to set up minimum conditions under which transportation service can be maintained. Each route was studied in detail, to measure its adequacy, to find economically justified improvements which normally would be made, and finally to indicate a minimum program necessary to sustain transportation during the emergency period, assumed by the engineers to be 1(V years. , The report places emphasis on the difficult decisions which must be made by highway administrators during emergency conditions. The minimum rural emergency * program suggested by the study engineers is about 60 percent of the normal program. The minimum program suggested for urban extensions is about 70 per cent of the normal. The published report, which is titled “Highway Needs in the Emergency, an Engineering Apprasial of Virginia’s Principal Roads and Streets,” contains 66 pages, with illustrated descriptions of study methods and findings.

Forest Fires 'In County Show Decrease in 1951 The Virginia Forest Service’s annual forest fire report, for the sixteen-county Northern Piedmont District, Including this county, shows improvement over the annual report for 1950, according to Districe Forester D. G. Wilfong, Jr. Wilfong stated that in his district with headquarters in Charlottesville, there were approximately 69 less forest fires during the past year than in 1950, and that .there was also a reduction of 111 acres of forest land burned over in 1951 than during the previous year. The forest fire statistics for the state of Virginia for 1951 have not been released to date, but it is reported that they *will also be less than for the 1960 calendar year. In Rappahannock County during the past year the Forest Service record shows a decrease in the number of forest fires from 9 in 1950 to € in 1951. Also, the forest land acreage burned over in the county in 1951 was 52 acres as compared to 246 acres burned in 1950. An interesting item, Wilfong said, was the increase in the per« centage of suppression costs collected from responsible persons letting fires escape in the district this year over 1950. Forty-nine per cent of the suppression costs were collected on the 233 odd fires as compared to only 40% in 1950. This increase is attributed to the fire law enforcement and investigation work of the county Chief Forest Wardens. * Of the 2,033 acres which burned in 1951, ov4r 700. of these acres were destroyed in one day the past words, Wilfong said that one third or approximately 33% of the total acreage burned in 1951 was lost during one severe fire day. To be able to continue the ever increasing drain of forest products from the forests to meet our annual needs for pulpwood and saw timber in Virginia, it will be necessary to keep improving the forest fire record. Tlys in turn will help compensate for much of the destructive cutting practices being carried on in Virginia’s forest lands. Remember the slogan of all VirGREEN~ 4,KBEP VIRGINIA Mrs. J. H.

B. Henretty Early each year is the proper time for each and every one of us to take stock of ourselves—our activities and accomplishments of the past year. Our thinking should r“” logically be projected into the future. What do we intend to accomplish individually, as a family or onT the form unit? Have you considered just what you are going to do about the very foundation of your existance—the soil on your farm? It is high time that we got at this business of saving our soils all over the country. Here and there on the map of the United States, there ate still a few sections not yet organised into Soil Conservation Districts. From the, way the movement is spreading, it won’t be long until Districts are ' everywhere. v . i.- ,,, As our farmers lean about this Apple Purchases To Be Extended To February 23 The U. S. Department of Agriculture has announced that it. will extend apple purchase in Virginia until February 23. The program operated previously last fall during the harvest season but purchases in Virginia were light, according to C. D. Jordon, State Chairman of the (Production and Marketing Admin-> istration. v Prospective vendors have until January 26 to make their offers to the PMA Purchase Representative. ' Jordan said that there would be no change in the purchase, price under the winter program but there is a change in the acceptable varieties. Under the winter purchase program purchases will be confined to apples grading US No. 1, or better, of the following varieties: Albemarle Pippin and WineSap in size 2%” minimum diameter, or 216 or larger by CQuq£t Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty, Stayman aid York Imperial in size 2%” minimum, or 180 or larger. These are the prncipal marketable varieties in Virginia at this season. The purchase price will continue to be $1.60 per bushel for size 2%” and $1.80 per bushel for 21” fruit, packed in acceptable containers and -loaded f.o.b. shipping point. On both sizes the grower is allowed a premium of 10 cents a bushel for wrapped, placed packs and for tray paeka. Jordan said that acceptable containers include bushel baskets, boxes, wirebound crates or fiberboard boxes, provider such containers are in good, clean, acceptable condition and are lidded. Round bottom baskets or fiberboard container* mi^st be new* It is expected that all apple purchases in Virginia will fee distributed to the School Lunch Program in the State and to certain non-profit institutions.

And that’s why farmers like Soil Districts, and why Districts are successful. But there isn’t much time left for us in still rich America to fool around and take chances (with our soils. Its later than you think. Nature alone takes 1000 years to make 1 ineh of good soil. In less than 200 years, American farmers have destroyed one third of all the country’s top soil. Now the time has come when we can’t afford to lose any more. The population of the country is growing so rapidly that we shall have with us well over 200,000,009 hungry* people in less than 30 years. It is high time that we greatly speed up the work of rebuilding the one asset without which we cannot exist as a nation—good soil. In soil conservation districts, legal, responsible, self-governing subdivisions of the states, you have found hour to get the job done speedily, efficiently, and in the American way. Conservation of soil and water, is more than rules, laboratories, experiments and bulletins. First, last, and all the time, soil conservation is PEOPLE. Soil Conservation Districts are the people’s way of doing the job.

Latham, chairman of Selective Service local .board 102, Rappahannock County, pointed out today that the Universal Military Training and Service Act aa amended June 19, 1951, provides that a registrant who was on June 19, 1951 ( in a deferred classification, or who thereafter ia placed in a deferred classification, under the provisions of the Act will remain liable for training and service in the armed forces until the thirty-fifth anniversary of the date of their birth. Mr. Latham went on to say that prior to June 19, 1951, the law required the deferment of conscientious objectors iwho were opposed to both combat and noncombat service, and authorized the deferment of registrants who had wives only. To such registrants extension of liability does not apply since those deferments are not now authorized by law. Under the provisions of the Universal Military Training and Service Act as amended, if a registrant was in a deferred classification on the 19th of June 1951, or at any time thereafter, his RETURNS TO TRAINING Miss Hilda ^hers, who studied nursing at Delaware State Hospital and Governor Bacon Health Center for three months, has returned to Harrisonburg hosptal to complete her training after visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Nethers -of Flint Hill for a few days. liability for service is extended until the thirty-fifth anniversary of his date of birth. Registrants who were exempt under the provisions of the law are not subject to this extension of liability for service. Deferred classifications which extend liability for service until thirty-five include certain I-D classifications, all I-S high school and college deferments, all II-A. industrial deferments, all II-C agricultural deferments, all II-S (and the former II-A-S) college ' student deferments, class III-A. deferments with the exception of those deferred by reason of having a wife only, and classification IV-P deferments which include those registrants not acceptable at the time of physical examination because of physical, mental, or moral reasons. llimiltmilMMIMIMMlH DONAHOE'SFLOWER SHOP MRS.

Remains Adequate “Worried banters who are concerned about the outlook foa the 1952-53 hunting season because of the heavy kills of game this past season can stop their fretting,” says I. T. Quinn, executive director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, “for despite the bumper crop of game killed this year, there still remains a seed-stock adaquate to fill all the coverts for next season’s hunting just as abundantly as last year.” Mr. Quinn went on to say that next year’s kill will not be affected by the kills of the past season, but rather the nesting and rearing conditions of early spring and summer will determine the outlook lor the coming season. “If nothing beyond the realm of our control takes place, such as severe drought in summer, or an outbreak of disease within the game species, then we may safely say that the 1952-53 hunting season will be every bit as good as the one just past," Mr. Quinn said. In conjunction with the assurance of an adequate seed stock, the Commission will continue to enlarge and expand upon its present habitat improvement plan during 1952, for it is convinced that this is the surest way of increasing our game supply for future generations.

This volume of sawtimber selected and cut according to proper forestry practices, which included the marking of only mature, overmature, diseased and damager trees and the leaving of. young, thrifty, growing trees for a future cutting. During the same year, approximately £,188 acres of woodland were examined and reported on by the Virginia Forest Service in this! County. Many land owners were given advice and recommendations concerning their various problems toward the correct management of their woodlands. This service is free- of charge and does not put the land owner under any obligation. However, there is a small fee charged for the marketing service. All timberland owners interested in developing our present and future timber supply and harvesting timber as a crop through proper forest management should contact the Virginia Forest Service^ Box 111, Warrcnton, Virginia. A; trained forester will then make an examination of your woodlands and make recommendations as to its proper management. then planting the area to permanent sod* the amount of each field that can be utilized by geese will be greatly increased, as .well, as making the fields accessible to wild ducks/’ The timber on the a§ea will be selectively cut, leaving no barren areas.

Farmers who have not yet received their ticked, reminds Mr. Hoffman, may obtain them by calling for them at Hoffman Implement Service, Culpeper. The feature picture, “Galahad Jones,” features Richard Crane, Marjorie Lord, Elizabeth Patterson, Jonathan 'Hale, Ed Brophy, and four other Hollywood personalities. The story centers around a farmer’s son, recently graduated from law school, who thwarts the efforts of a big-time crook to profit from hia political connections. It1 is a present-day problem picture with a moral and plenty of laughs. Leading the pack .of five more applause-winning films is “The Big Payoff,” featuring Tom Gordon who, along with his typical American family, has won so many friends in previous John Deere pictures.

A CIVILIAN DEFENSE MEETING will be held at 7:80 Wednesday, January 30 in the Washington Court! House. All persons .who have contacted by Observation Post Supervisors of Sperryville, Huntly, Washington, or Amissville are urged to be present. Supervisors of these post are John Wayland, who replaces J. B. Atkins, Aubrey North, Marion Watts and Mrs. Mitchell Green. This the second of a series of quarterly training meetings held by the office of Civilian Defense. According to Captain Miller and Major Briggs of the state office a movie “Eyes Aloft” will be shown and covers attention of the Ground Observer Corps. Also a replica of a filter center showing observation post and how they and the filter center function will be displayed. Each of these observation posts will need twenty-five trained observers, a chief observer and the post supervisors. This calls for a total of 104 patriotic volunteers. At the last county meeting only three persons were present which is disgraceful. Let’s have a good turn out for this meeting. . . come whether you be an observer or not. I feels you will find it interesting. 1 After reading the Resolutions adopted at the Annual Convention of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation at Richmond in November, I’m inclined to thank the dear Lord /that farmers of this organization are taking the stand they are in many instances. Whether you’ll agree or not I feel sure you will' find the resolutions on: National Economy, Inflation Control, Rural Schools, Highway Load Limits, Rural Telephone, Appropriations for Promoting Agriculture etc. very interesting and worth your while. I urge all farmers to read these resolutions and presume they are available through Mr. A. Gordon Willis, Culpeper. The January issue of “County Agent and f- Vo-Agriculture Teacher” carries a very convincing article on the possibilities of Production-Line Pigs through battery raised pigs fed from 48 hours of age on a synthetic milk made possible by the use of terranycin. Brooklyn, Now York. In addition to tile antibiotic the synthetic milk contains: dry skim milk, lard, fish solubles, vitamns and minerals. Under this method the sow is used only to bare pigs and suckle them i for forty eight hours after birth, as colostrum to date hasn’t been produced synthetically, and thus it claims a sow can produce two 5-3 litters per year instead of the usual two. Geneticist are free to breed swine tot better size without consideration to suckling ability, and the morality of pigs from birth tos 56 days of age greatly reduced. The article states further “At current prices to feed and maintain sows during gestation, each piglet, in an average litter, cost the farmer about six dollars at birth, whether it survives or not,” Also, “Terralac is not yet on the- market. It probably will sell from 35 to 40 cents a pound for the dry product, which is mixed with water. Returns per pig (weaned litter) are claimed to be over $2.00 per head more from the production-line method than from the natural method. Wonder who’ll be the first Virginian to employ this method? Another good point is that pork processing plants can sell their lard to produce more pigs to produce more pork to produce more lard to produce more pigs to produce more pork! ! ! Mrs. Wade Pullen of Spring House Farm owned by Mrs. D. B. Smith reports that her husband, Wade, is proud of Ida ewes as well as his shepherding ability. To date they have 29 lambs from 18 ewes with 11 sets of twins. Rabies (Continued from page 1) for this has been advised. You can contact your local game warden for informmton regarding sending the head to a laboratory. Rahim Epidemics Are Net New' An epidemic of rahies among dogs occurred in Texas several years ago. Four, years ago, rabies had spread north and had reached Memphis, Tennessee, where a strict quarantine of dogs was necessary, and inapminiaetion against rabies in order to stop the epidemic. There was no epidemic among the fox in Texas or Tennessee. However,, when rabies spread northward during the last four years, the fox became infected in the northern Virginia area, and are now a menace to all animals in this area. Stray dogs and cats are also a menace. Rabies was eradicated ip England and in Scandinavian countries by elimination of stray doge and vaccination of dogs against rabies was prevalent. From the human point of view, all stray dogs and homeless cats should be eliminated in a humane manner in order to put them out f of their misery. In shifting for themselves, stray dogs raid garbage cans and strew garbage on the streets, and they attack domestc anmals which result in considerable financial loss to the county which provides funds for paying farmers for livestock killed by stray dogs. Rabies affects the brain and the nervous system. After symptoms of rabies set in there is no cure, and .the victim dies in agony. However, if a person that is bitten by a rabid dog is given anti-rabies treatment within a week after injury, this treatment will prevent rabies from developng. When a person is bitten on the face or oa An area close to tbe brain, antirabies treatment must be started immediately because the infection passes along the nerve'fibers to the brain. .,? V"Y > Precautions must be taken in every case when a person is bitten by any dog whether mad or not. The dog must be kept locked up and kept under observation for 10 days. If the dog does not die or develop symptoms within 10 days, he did not have* rabies and anti-rabies. treatment is unnecessary. A dog suspected of having rabies should not be killed until seen by a veterinarian or the health officer in order to determine whether or net the dbg 1mm the disease. If it becomes necessary to kill a mad dog, the deaddog should be turned over to a veterinary or to the health denart-*nt immediately. ^ Hii
