Rappahannock Neve 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 Individualism The fashion of the day is collectivism. Called by different names, in every case it means looking to government for our rights and benefits. People who beleive in individualism are often laughed at for being old-fasioned, for trusting in God rather than in government. But, no one need apologize for believing in individualism. It is the truly modern philosophy toward which mankind has been striving for centuries. Collectivism is reactionary, a throw-back to the days of savage tribes which subordinated every individual to the leaders of the tribe. It was to away wiruni cuuccuvcic ijr*anny that individualism (was born. In the days of Ceasar Augustus human life was cheap and the individual of little or no consequence. The State was paramount, and human slavery was a universally accepted institution. Into that world Jestts of Nazareth brought the philosophy of the INDIVIDUAL, his responsibility to God, and set in motion the longoverdue movement to make the individual the master and the government his servant. The trend of social evolution took the course of increasing emphasis on the individual. It is toward the status of Child of God that the individual has the opportunity and responsibility of performing his stewardship and the exercise of his personal faculties. The truly progressive trend is toward greater individualism and the working out of voluntary cooperative controls to protect all individuals. Collectivism is a reversal of this trend in the direction of materialism and atheism exemplified in the glory of the triumphant and all powerful *St&t6«__—--—--— If people really understood both collectiveism and individualism, we would be safe from dictatorship. No dictator would arise among a people iwho believed their Tights to be inherent and coming from God. If it DI'D arise, no dictatorship could live, even with force of arms, so long as men really wanted to retain those rights. Individualism means we consider the individual human being an THUR. - FRI., M/-R. 6 - 7 HELEN HAYES GARY COOPER ADOLPH MENJOU Farewell To Arms1 SATURDAY, MARCH 8 ERROL gLYNN ALEXIS SMITH MONTANA SUN. - MON., MAR. 9 - 10 GARY COOPER ‘Task Force” (Color by Technicolor) TUES. - WED., MARCH 11 - 12 RORY CALHOUN f JANE NIGH entity, or person, in himself and by virtue of merely being born. The individual comes first—the State comes after. That individual posesses inherent and unalienable rights to pursue his happiness within a society in which men deal with each other as equals before the law. It does not mean the individual can do as he pleases without regard for other individuals. There must be liminations on each individual to prevent his destroying the rights of other individuals. It also means we cannot serve the common good, as is often beleived, by abolishing individual rights; for what we call the common good is the sum total of each individual good. There can be no good except as it is goo^l for individuals. The whole is the sum of its parts. Individuals must be made sound and strong if the whole is to be sound and strong. Individualism means the right of every individual to own property, to make contracts with other individuals, to speak his mind, either in print or by word of mouth, to meet in assembly with other persons, to worship God, to engage in business or occupation of his own choosing—all subject to common justice—that is, to laws or rules which protect and preserve the rights of all individuals from being destroyed by unrestrained exercise of rights by some individuals. America was founded, grew great, will continue to live and grow greater, on that individualism. A simple way to say it is that we must understand and believe in God and in his laws. A very wise and good man, speaking to individuals, once said it this way: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." That is the moral and spiritual basis of individualism. March came in like a lamb— fleecy and white. The last day of February was so pretty that we were sure “spring had sprung.’’ The next morning the world was white.

He noticed that they usually received a dozen ashtrays and five or more cocktail sets. He was mildly ashamed of his own choices. So he visited a famous jewelry store and asked if they had something on hand that nobody could possibly want. In the basement they found a horrible silver vase. He wrote on his card, “If you don’t like this, 'take it back and get anything you want.” Then he instructed the store to permit exchange up to $25. « The vaae settled his problem. It did service for many years, always returning to the store and going out again with the identical card.

Even the evergreens are brown with shedding in preparation for the new green of spring. Neatness of land is the only sign of beauty in the country. It's pretty hard for some folks to keep their property looking nice when careless people drop trash along the way. o o o When Henry McLemore, the newspaper columnist, returned to San Francisco following a six months' trip around the world, he wanted: (1) milk, (2) ice, (3) lettuce and other green salad ingredients. He reflected that all the first things he wanted were the things every American takes for granted. In short, we are living in a country where the good things are available to every citixen no matter what his station in life. As he walked the streets of San Francisco and saw the department stores filled with warn and wellmade goods, grocery and delicatessen stores loaded with all the food anyone would ever want, the streets filled with automobiles, he wondered why this could be seen only In America. His answer may not be the complete answer, but he concluded that the one fact that sets off America from every other country is that this is .one area where people teally work. Here there are no such things as siestas, fourhour lunch periods. Here it is standard practice for a man to work a standard week. “Ours,” ho writes, “is the only country iwhere a bare existence isn't accepted as enough.” His hint to. Washington was that no matter how many millions of dollars we send overseas no good will come unless men work. NOTICE The residence telephone number of Rayner V.

Our new friends, or “furriners” as some might call them, are building up the farms around us, thereby making our own farms more valuable. They increase the wealth of our county, not only from the increased property value, but in new ideas and community interest.

We can never forget the day That Jesus called our Mother away. Leaving us without her care. We had nothing left but her prayers Two years have passed. We can' forget Her smiling face; we see it yet. We remember her by the old arm chair * Kneeling there in humble prayer. Whenever we think of her so dear We feel her angel spirit near, A voice comes floating on the air Reminding us of her prayers. Oh, we are so glad there is a place We can met again, face to face, In that bright home together share In answer to our mother’s prayer. Itp , HER CHILDREN IN MEMORIAM A tribute of love and devotion to the precious memory of my dear aunt, Mrs. Hassie Coppage Burke, who passed away two years ago, February 25, 1950. Surrounded by friends I am lonesome, In midst of pleasure I am blue. A smile on my face, but a heartache, Alawys thinking of you. Friends may think I forgot you, When at times I seem to smile, Little do they know my sorrow That the smile hides all the while. I think of you in silence, No eyes can see me weep, But many a silent tear is shed While others are .asleep. Sh> is gone but not forgotten And as dawns another year In my lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near. Her memory is as dear today As the hour she passed away.

The popular 25-year-old ruler Is shown fiMhim her sunny smile as she attended a recent London film nremiere Much Is Good Time To Plant Dogwood March is « good tans * to plant dogwood in Virginia. A. G. Smith, Jr., associate horticulturist at VPI says the common white dogwood and its pink sport are used in Virginia more than any other type. White dogwood is grown from seed and may he bought from nurserymen. Pink dogwood is budded on thfe roots of white dogwood. ■When good nursery-grown plants can be obtained, It is generally cheaper to buy them than to collect them from the woods. Smith advises using small trees, especially if you’re planting many. Voung trees, three to four feet high, have a better chance to grow into healthy trees than the larger ones. _ Transplanting dogwood involves digging, moving, and setting. Be sure the roots do not dry out anytime while the plants are being moved or handled. Dogwood likes shade, but can be made grow in the full sun. Do not plant when soil' Is muddy. Dig a hole deeper and larger than the root system. Pill the hole nearly to the level of the ground. Set plant, with roots properly spread, just deep enough to cover roots about one inch. Firm soil. Pour one-half to one bucket of water slowly around the plant. Let it soak into the soil. Mulch with one to two inches of sawdust, leafmold or peat As soon as the tree is planted, cut off at least 1/8 of the top. Be careful not to plant too deep. Top-Dressing Grains Will Aid 'Feed Production Top-dressing small grains with nitrogen is one way Virginia farmers can assure expanded feed production. W. W. Lewis, Extension agronomist at VPI, says where economical in 1952, every farmer with livestock should produce enough feed for the livestock on his farm. Lewis suggests top-dressing between February 1 and March 15 with 16 to 40 pounds of nitrogen if lodging is not to be expected. On thin land and light sandy soils, a top-dressing with 80 to 40 pounds of nitrogen should be used. Tests have shown that gram does not get the full benefit of nitrogen when top-dressed after March 15. Lewis also suggests a midwinter planting of winter oats aa soon after February 1 as the land can be prepared. Seed a winter Variety in eastern Virginia by March 1, and in Piedmont and west of the Blue Ridge by March 15. Usually after those dates, a spring variety gives better results. For spring oats in Piedmont, plant between March 5 and April 1; west of the Blue Ridge, plaut between March H5 and April 10. Spring oats are not recommended in eastern Virginia. (For details on recommended varieties and fertilization ask your county agent for a copy of Circular 502, “Growing Small Grain.” EGG PRODUCTION KEEPS CLIMBING They’re plenty of eggs on Virginia markets now, and egg production is expected to keep on climbing until Abrils D. U. Livermore, poultry marketing epedalist at VPI, says this means that Virginia food shoppers, as well as food buyers all over the nation, can look for plentiful supplies of eggs on retail store counters during the coming months. Along with larger supplies, prospects are good for lower prices, keeping eggs on the “good buy" list. During the past two months eggs have dropped 20 cents or more per dozen since the seasonally high price which prevailed last November. On January 1 there were about 2 per cent more botential layers on farms than there were on that date the preceding year. More layers, combined with a continued high rate of lay, should mean that egg production for the first few months of the year will be considerably larger than in the first months of lp51.

—T-T*—' " ■■■* -vif Bnuh Burning Law In Effect March 1 The Brush Burning Lew went Into effect in the County as of March 1, stated Chief Forest Warden Raymond M, Johnson of Rappahannock County, He also stated that it was his responsibility to enforce this law in the county as a representative of the Virginia (Forest Service. Briefly, this law states that setting of fire to brush, grass, leaves or other inflammable material is illegal within 300 feet of woodland or brush land in the county between March 1 and May 15 of each year, except between the hours of 4 rOO p.m. and midnight. If convinced of violating this law, a fine of not less than $10.00 or more than $100.00 can be imposed by the Trial Justice of the county. Also, if a forest fire is allowed to start from such burning, the responsible party is liable to the county for suppression of the fire. The Virginia Forest Service records show that each year approximately 30% of the forest fires in the State are caused by careless burning, either in violation of the Brush Burning Law or during other periods of the year when this law is not in effect. Stem Rot Appears On Clover and Alfalfa Complaints concerning clover and alfalfa dying in the fields have been received from several Virginia farmers and county agents, and S. B. Fenne, plant pathologist at VPI, this week had some suggestions on control. He explains that the stem rot fungus lives over in the soil for most of the year on decaying plant tissue. The disease may be started by sowing seed that has small sclerotia mixed with it. The fungus also may be spread from field to field with infested soil, or carried to clean fields in drainage water. Manure from livestock which have been fed clover or alfalfa hay from infested fields also may spread the disease. Rotating crops so clover and alfalfa do not grow on the same land in succeeding years will reduce the amount of fungus in ^the soil. At the present time, there are no resistant varieties. Stem rot is one of the most common diseases of alfalfa and clover, especially in the eastern part of the state. Many farmers feel that stem rot is chiefly responsible for early killing of these crops. Dam. age is often severe in the early spring when temperature and moisture conditions are most Stem ret appears first in new for disease development, planting* in the. fall when the plants are still small. Heavily infected leaflets drop and may he overrun by a white moldy growth. The infection latSer spreads downward to the roots and crown. In the spring, it is common to find a soft rot on the crown and roots. The new growth of infected plants frequently wilts and the dead tissues may be overrun by a heavy white mold- Somewhat later, these dense white moldy growths at the base of the stems become transformed into irregular hard black bodies called sclerotia. These sclerotia are sometimes as targe .as a pea and provide a positive diagnosis of the disease. In the late fall and early spring, these sclerotia develop fruiting structure which produce many spores.

John M. Amos, weed control specialist at VP1, says that regardless of where the garlic grows, if sprays are to toe used, they should be used before new bublets begin to form in the soil. The bublets begin to form in late March, or early in April. The temperature should be‘near 60/degrees F. fpr best results. In most cases where the garlic is growing in lawns or grass pastures 2,4-D ester at 2 to 21 pounds aeid equivalent per acre will give good results. Lower dosages and certain precautions must be taken when 2,4-D is applied to clover grass pastures. A leaflet on the control of wild garlic in different situations and crops has been prepared by Amos for distribution through county agents, or directly from VPI.

B. Henretty Soil Conservation Service Technicians assisted four fanners in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties in laying off and marking their contour lines this week. T.R. Griffin, of Griffinsburg established contour lines on 30 acres; Aubrey Cloud, Castleton, 15 acres; M. L. Blankenbaker, Laurel Mills, 40 acres and R. E. “Dick” Jones, Contour lines are located on the fields prior to establishing crop rotations in contour strips. Rotations in contour strips on sloping fields prevent loss of Valuable top soil and rainfall. Contour farming means farming on the level thus making the job easier for both < power and horse drawn equipment. Power equipment operated on the contour requires from 15 to 30VeT less fuel and operating cost than when farming up and down hill in square of rectangular fields. Those who have been farming the conservation way say that“rotation” in contour strips pay their way many, many times, in saving soil, fertility, rainfall and the cost of producing a bushel of- corn; small grain or a ton of hay.” New farm plans were developed by three fai’mers in cooperation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District and assisted by Soil Conservation Service Technicians. Included in the group were: G.A. Burgers, Washington, C. G. Sudduth, Remington. R. E. Jones, Culpeper, revised his farm plan to include additional land.

To increase clover hold grass back and top-dress with a 0-14-14, should clover make up greater than 50% of the cover let grass grow and apply a 5-10-1.0 analysis fertilizer. See too many long tailed buck lambs running around getting almost too big to dock and alter. At present it looks like lambs will sell under ceiling prices, so to insure top quality and hense top prices lets get busy on the docking and castrating right away.
