Lyne County Agent IMMMinMMitwiltMcitBwi^rtUtWMIlllWWlftiii'lTliiililllli Professor A. H. Teske, Horticulturist of VPI will discuss problems with fruit growers at eight o'clock, Friday evening following a study of key orchards in the county. The discussion will be held in the court house arid will cover current control measures of orchard diseases and insects. Control measures best to use depend largely on individual orchard problems and the materials used in applying previous sprays so each orchardist should attend for the purpose of learning just what material or combinations of materials will do the job most effectively. A tour of the Middleburg branch of the VPI Experiment station will be held from 1 - 3:30 p.m. next Thursday afternoon, May 22. In the past comparatively few Rappahannock farmers have visited this station to see the research that is being conducted. Considering the importance of the livestock industry to farmers individually, as well as its importance to the county as a whole, ihts is a sad situation. The value of a particular grass or combination of grasses and legumes is measured at this station either in terms of pounds of milk or beef produced. Two different combinations may have an equal amount of “eye appeal” to we humans, or. have similarity in total digestable nutrients, yet because of palatability will yield decidely different results. Also merely because a particular pasturage crop is palatable does not necessarily mean it is economically desirable. The Research Center at Middleburg is trying to find out what combination will do the job most efficiently for both the beef cattleman and dairyman and results to date because of their variation are well worth your investigation. Wool bags and paper twine are now available at this office. " At a meeting of sheep owners held last week in Culpeper C. D. Price of Page County was re-nominated as Director of the United Wool Growe*s Cooperative representing district seven which includes Rappahannock. The nominations will be confirmed at the annual membership meeting of the United Wool Growers Association scheduled for June 4 at Harrisonburg. Growers representing Rappahannock at the Culpeper meeting were Messers. W. A. Laing and A. C. Latham, Sr. of Amissville. The ceiling price.on lamb carcasses is 62c per pound delivered by the slaughter. These people rely on the pelt and “drop” (liver, heart, viscera, etc.) to pay slaughtering and delivery expenses. Since the better grades of lambs dress 50% it would therefore seem that top liveweight price would be around 31-32c per pound. Don’t forget those “dos and don’ts” in handling your 1952 wool clip. DO: 1. shear only when sheep are dry. 2. Keep taggy, burry, black, dead and clear wool seperate. 3. Use paper twine in tying fleeces. 4. Store wool in dry places. DONT: 1. Use binder twine for tying fleeces. A severe price penalty will result since its fiber cannot be seperated from wool in processing thereby reducing the quality of end product. 2. Allow chaff or other foreign material to get mixed in with shorn fleeces. Virginia’s wool hits a good reputation. . . lets keep it that way. It has'been reported by-, Monk Cark that a Highland County Shepherd has J24 lambs from a flock of 70 ewes. That figure 177%, or better than a Iamb and three fourths per ewe! Who can beat that record ... yea. . who can equal it? MISSIONARY SOCIETY The Woman’s Missionary Society of the Methodist Church had their regular meeting at the church on Wednesday afternoon. Circuit Court The May term of Rappahannock Circuit Court convened Monday, May 12, with Judge J. R. H. Alexander presiding. No cases were tried, but several were Continued to the July term. John W.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Horning 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 Here's That Man Again! With a reporter and a photographer from a Washington (D.C.) - newspaper - in town Tuesday, it looks like we are in for it again! “The First Washington of Them All” is in for a few weeks1 seige of bombarding flash-bulbs and the rapid fire of questions. The Ladies' Election, being just three weeks and five days off, is again making headlines. The reporter who was in town Tuesday seemed like a nice, young chap. What surprised most folks was the fact that he would drive 68 miles from a spot (where they really have news to try and make up some news from a quiet, mountain village. The election news in Washington (D.C.) at present, so we are led to believe, is really stewing, while down in The First Washington of Them All the election is as mild as cottage cheese, and certainly no more exciting. The ballots are all printed. Mayor Dorothy C. Davis’s name appears on the ballot with a blank line below (supposedly for a writein vote). Six ladies and one brave man appear for council members, with instructions to vote for six. Two blank lines appear at the bottom of the list of counCilmen (-er, council-ladies) for iwritein votes. According to the visiting Washington iD.C.) reporter, the campaign issue of the forth-coming June 10 election will be “publicity,” and he did not elaborate upon his statement. He didn't say where he had received his information as to the issue, but he appeared firm in his opinion that a vote for the complete ladies’ government would mean that the people of the town approved of all — the publicity the town had received from being under “petticoat government.” The visiting reporter, likewise, did not explain what he meant by “publicity” nor whether it was juSt plain publicity or “cheap publicity” that would be a point of argument among the Voters. “ There is one thing unique, however, beyond the location of the candidates on the distaff side. There are bets that nowhere else in the world would you find the PITTS THURSDAY *&AY 15 The Story of The Stare 50 STARS —in— “FOLLOW THE BOYS” FRI. - SAT., MAY 16 - 17 JOHNNY WEISSMULLER as Jungle Jim — in — “Jungle Manhunt” SUN. - MON., MAY 18 - 19 LUCILLE BALL JOHN AGAR — in — “The Magic Carpet” (In Super Cineeolor) TUBS. - WED., MAY 20 - 21 WAYNE MORRIS — in — “Double Alibi” citizens voting on a platform, the able plank of Which was “publicity.” If there's any truth in ** Tis an iir wind that blows nobody good,” then perhaps some good can come of all the vifiting photographers and reporters.

Perhaps one of them might see the orchards and remember to buy Rappahannock apples in the Fall. A Tail Tale Please don’t stop me if you have heard this one. An Indian was hailed into court, charged with not paying his income tax. The Red Man asked the judge why he should pay income tax. The judge painstakingly explained that Uncle Sam needed the money so that when he, the Indian, got sick or tod old to work or got out of a job, the Great White Father would be able to send him some money to take care of him. • A light oi understanding flashed over the Indian’s fas*. “Judge,” said he, "that just like my dog and me. He good dog. When he work much hard he come to me, bark, and say, ‘Boss, I work much hard, give me nice piece meat.’ “I take big sharp knife, cut off piece his tail and say, ‘You good dog, you work much hard, here nice juicy piece meat for you., He so dumb, he no know difference. It big laugh— he lick my band for give him piece his own tail." V : This ‘‘tale ot a talT” would indicate that this descendant of the first” Americans is a heap smarter than some of the offspring of those who usurped the land of his ancestors, because he knows that government only can hand out that which is first taken away, that all government can bestow is just a piece of what it has previously impounded. There is a deadly parallel to this rather ludicrous story in what has been going on in America in recent years, in that all too many of the /American people have come to beCULPEPER On Brandy Road (Route 15) 1 Vk Miles North of Culpeper 2 Shows Nightly: 7:30 and 9:30 A CAR FULL FOR $1.00 Plus 20c tax . .

We *could carry this story of the Indian’s dog a bit further. Let us do so. Keeping up the practice of feeding the dog part of itself, would eventually result in the canine completely consuming itself. Just how long a dog could survive on this sort of a program is a question. But, one thing sure, if everytime a chunk was cut off, part of it had to go to several other bureaucratic dogs for supervising the operation, Mr. Dog, party of the first part, would have scant chance to survive for long. Today we, the American people, with federal government on a spending binge and shot through with corruption, are in the exact untenable position of the Indian’s dog. We not only are hflVta|g"'td live on " our own fat, but we are being forced through exorbitant, taxes to give away a generous amount of our fat to a herd of bureaucrats for extracting it. And like the Indian’s dog, incredulous as it may seem, many Americans, the while they consume themselves, are licking the hand that does the slicing and passes the slice on to them, in gratitude and supplication for more of the same. England’s sad experience with Socialists, the something-for-nothing idea, should be a lesson to us. Read what the February, 1952, London Newsletter has to say about it: — "Qnly fools or knaves would have imagined that a Welfare State was possible under any circumstances when'we were still staggering punchdrunk from the blows of a six years war. Yet with all other Parties consenting, the Socialist used the few resources which remained to us, plus everything they could borrow on the security of our good name, to bribe the electorate with a five-day week, subsidies and other material benefits.

Please bear in mind that the foregoing is an Englishman speaking in an English periodical, published in England. Then, harken to what wise old Ben Franklin said way back in 1757 because it still applies today: “God helps them that help themselves.^ On next November 4, we the people must make a choice—perhaps the most important choice we have ever had to make. We must choose between a government which will continue to mollycoddle us and to feed us on ourselves to our eventual destruction; or a government that will take this nation back to “Rugged In- . dlvidualism” under which each citizen will again fend for himself instead of looking to Uncle Sam for handouts. f The Time Hoe Come * \ tiu Walras said ... ■UMIIUItllll MMtlltMlIMM* The weather-man can have his job; I don’t want it. To begin with, he never can fix the weather up to please all the people, and like times when he sends out reports on rain for the picnic day, he’s very unpopular. Folks tell me that the cold spell coming around the middle of May, as it did, is known as “Snowball Winter,” and it always gets cold when the snowball bushes bloom. That’s a new one on me. I’ve heard that there is often a cold season when blackberries bloom, but the “snowball’* business is * new one. Most of us as amateur weather men do & bit of prognosticating. We hear old tales of Indian Summer, Dog Days, and the Rainy Season in May and September, and dozens of others. When it comes down to the truth, we don’t seem to predict the weather much better than the weatherman—but then, it ain’t our business and we are not supposed to know. 0 0 0 Experience is what you get while looking for something eke. 0 0 0 A sweet old lady went to see a psychiatrist. “Doctor,” she said, “my children think I am funny just because I like pancakes.” “Why, there’s nothing wrong with that; I like pancakes myself,” said the' doctor. “You do?” exclaimed the little Wy. “Home over to my house.— I’ve got five trunks full of them.” o o o One of my favorite psychiatrist stories is told on one of the M.D.’s when he tried! using his knowledge on his own young sons. He decided to try the modem book method: hj had a nice, man-toman talk with the boys. “Now, this is our home,” he began, “and we shall all work together to keep it clean and we can have more time for play together, or to watch television . . .” etc. The doctorfather even went so far in his man-to-man talk as to outline certain chores to each boy — so mother wouldn’t have so much to do, and there would be more play time (ad nauseam). The boys listened politely and appeared cooperative. Upon his return home the following afternoon, the doctor found the boys looking at television.

Master Commissioner in Chancery JAS. M. SETTLE 5-14-2* WATCH And Jewelry Repair all work guaranteed Gifts For AH Occasions • Now Have Complete Line of Jewelry DAVIS’ JEWELRY SHOP EXPONENT BUILDING "Under -The Chime Clock" CULPEPER —Thru’ the Garden Gate With the publication of the schedule of the Spring flower show, hectic days loom ahead for members of the Rappahannoek Garden club and their friends and families. Cinderblocks and wheelbarrows have to be borrowed, husbands have to be drafted for nailing and sawing. Whenever two gardners meet woeful predictions are heard that “I won’t have a thing to exhibit; nothing will be blooming in my garden on the twenty-third.” Despite the pessimism the sun shines and the rains come as though to give assurance of iris, peonies and roses to grace the show. The theme of the 1952 show, “Thru the Garden Gate,” was suggested by the collect which Mrs. Hening wrote for the first yearbook,- and which- appears on the back cover of the schedule. The theme is carried out in the arrangement classes with the ideas of a day in a garden. For most of us our garden day consists of hasty moments among the plants in the company of friends, family, chickens, dogs and even an occasional head of stock. We hope our arrangement classes will reflect the idea of our gardens as happy in\iting places for our loved ones and not forbidden territory. The first class “Morning Dew” is a composition suggesting the rich bounty of the garden. The exhibitor has a wide choice of material here and can give free rein to her originally. After such an uninhibited spree with flowers the second class brings us down to earth not too abruptly. This class is politely called “Zany with the Noon-day Sun” but really means “crazy with the heat.” Here we have a chance to make our best and worst arrangements, using the same plant material and secretly hoping the judges will be able to tell which i» which. The third clews, “Afternoon Lull”, is e composition using a piece of weathered wood and couki be as restful as the droning of a bumblebee, We will need that restful interlude for class four “Shadows on the Lawn,” is surely a class to “try men’s souls”, especially if they have to help their Vives work out the lighting of the shadow boxes this exhibit calls for. Our invitations class, “Twilight Serenity” drill give us an opportunity to enjoy the artistry of neighboring clubs. Next comes the corsage class in which we can dream up any fun we want to and make a corsage suitable for the dream. “Our Littlest Loves” is a class of miniatures which should not exceed three inches in any dimension, the measurements including flowers, container, and base. The junior exhibits are included in a class called “Swinging On The Garden Gate,” Many mommas will probably be tearing their hair while their little ones snatch the very prettiest blooms for their “ ’rangements”. Many others will no doubt be doing the same thing trying to decide which flowers are kin-folks for the class of plant families. As usual the men have it easy with their class of bird houses, for who is to say that a birdhouse doesn’t have rhythm or dominance or expression? When the last nail has been driven and the last broken stem mended, then the members of the garden club will cast aside blue jeans, hammers and such, and donning their daintiest ganden frocks will be happy to welcome their friends thru the garden gate to the flower show.—contributed.
