WAY 2 3 1952 VOLUME 3—NUMBER 29 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1952 $2.00 PER YEAR Plan* Made for Red Cross Swimming and Life Saving I Howard Camp, field representsre of the American Red Cross, 11 discuss with Rappahannock hool pupils tentative plans tor rimming and life saving courses mrnenctHg' June Z. According to e Eastern Area announcement, r. Camp will visit the schools on ay 26 and 27 for the purpose informing those interested rough discussions and motion etures. Of course, the training ogram will not he limited to school pupils, and it is strongly urged that anyone interested should take part in the courses. It is also requested that parents not only attend the school discussions on May 26 and 27, but also the first few days of* water instruction and training. Three Free x-Ray Clinic Set for June 2, 3, end 4 The Rappahannock County Tuberculosis Association and the State f Health Department are sponsoring the free X-ray survey to be held in Sperryville at the school on June 2, in Washington at the Health Department on June 3, and in Flint Hill at Bradford’s Store on June 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 pm. Ail persons in the county are urged to take advantage of this free x-ray because: 3 out of 4 cases are derived from the apparently healthy population about whom there has been no previous exposure to any known case; Many, if not most of these cases of tuberculosis, hhd consulted their physicians months before their symptom were sufficiently definite or intense enough to suggest tuberculosis to them or their physician; many persons become spreaders of infection months before they become ill enough to consult their nhvstctan. It has been rdiabtly estimated that for every known case of active tuberculosis in the U. S., there is at least one unknown one. Morever, the best way to protect children from tuberculosis is to x-ray their parents and all other close adult associates._ The mass x-ray surveys are limited to persons IS years and above because the incidence of manifest tuberculosis is far greater in persons above 15 years of age and also because technical difficulties make many x-rays unsatisfactory. Any child under 15 years, unless they are a contact of a known case, are required to bring a request from their doctor. Although adolescents knd adults up to 45 years provide the most cases of tuberculosis, 40% of tuberculosis deaths are in the age group above 45 years. This latter group are urged to | be x-rayed because their disease tends to become chronic resulting in a prolonged period of communicability,, even though they appear to be in fairly good healthYou do not have to disrobe or have an appointment for this x-ray. The reports are confidential and are mailed to each individual. The wise person gets an x-ray every year as they may have come in contact with many cases of tuberenL osis during that time without knowing it.

The part of these leaders being to train youth, give guidance when they need it, to teach and inspire them with possibilities of 4-H work and the farm as a way of life. As each of these leaders can tell you successful 4-H club work requires much planning and record keeping. The leaders helping with project work this year were : Washington. . Miss Corrie Scroggins i Sperryville. . Mrs. George Taylor; Woodville . . Mrs. Felton Carter; Flint Hill. . Mrs. Frank Cary; Reager. . Mrs. Barbara Gentry; Ainissville. .

" Thirty-seven ladies from Rappahannock Home Demonstration Gubs visited points of interest in Washington Tuesday. The group was conducted through the capital by Representative Burr P. Harrison. The ladies enjoyed the history and stories told by the honorable Mr. Harrison about different parts of the capit*f, statues, and paintings. The members then went to the Congressional Library and over to Custer Lee Mansion in Arlington and completed their tour by visiting the Tomb of Unknown Soldier. This trip was planned by County Federation Chairman, Mrs. George Taylor in connection with Federation Goal, Youth and Community Recreation, stressing citizenship and youth. Persons taking part in the tour were: Mrs. Less Walter and one; Mrs. A.C.

Keyser was seriously hurt ons Saturday when a horse kicked a slab and a portion struck Mr. Keyser in the eye. He was rushed to University lfospitad, wiictc faiscye was retridfed. Latest report is that his condition is satisfactory. BERRY SALE ATTRACTS ANTIQUE DEALERS Many antique dealers were on hand Saturday, May 17, when the personal property of the estate of the late Mias Emily Berry was sold at auction at the Berry place at Woodville. The high chest of drawers, advertised as a hi-boy, was sold to the highest bidder at $125, the highest price paid for any single item. -VELMER CLARK RECOVERNG from Injuries Elmer Clark, who was struck by -* car Sunday, May IS, is in St. Agnes hospital, Baltimore, recovering from cuts and bTuises and one broken bone. Clark; who was on a truckdriving job, left his truck to stop for a sandwich. As he stepped from his truck, he was struck by a car and thrown into the path of another car and dragged for a short distance down the highway. It was a foggy night, the drivers of the car did not see him and he didn't see the oncoming cars. The accident occurred on the Washington - Baltimore Boulevard near Baltimore. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Clark, and other members of the family have visited him daily. It is thought a miracle that Ms injuries were no greater than they were, considering ^circumstances^ ‘ ‘..— THE SOUND Or HAMMER— Mow much additional sound , comes from the couatyb building and repair projects depends upon which nail is hit. ~ Bradley Atkina at Sperryvills reports he's 'most ready to move into his new home. The Madam states that die's putting Bradley between two churchoa to see if she can get him to absorb a Uttlo religion for hie general improvement. Guy Lillard is at work on his place across from Gib Wharton's Hampton Inn and Service Station, Formerly Rev. R. H. Scroggin's wood-working shop, the cinderblock building is to be converted into a restaurant. In reply to the question “When Will it open?" Mr. Lillard replied “Whenever I get through Axing." Then he added he thought it would be about July 1. “What will the business be called?" brought no answer. At present, with all the work to be done and nothing but headaches and backaches involved, Mr. Lillard insinuated that what he called it couldn't be printed, but the business would have a name by opening time. The root is on the George Wood place near Rediviva bridge. The work doesn't go near fast enough to suit Mr. Wood, but the progress is noticeable. Reports have it that Mrs. T. J. Pillar of Jenkins Hollow contemplates the opening a small business in Sperryville, but her plans are in the infant stage and she has released no information as yet. Many efforts have been 'made to locate this “monkey business” of which so much is heard. So far, the search has been futile. Although everyone seems to know what “monkey business” is, and many people smile knowingly when questioned, still a definite report on the progress of such business cannot be found1. Perhaps perseverance shell be rewarded and the local paper promised a full report as soon as the information can be gathered. RAPP - OH ATS By: W. H. Lynt County Agent Piedmont Feeder Pig Producers Associations has just come out with its agreement form governing its first Feeder Pig Sale to be held August 22 at Orange. Readers of this column will recall that D. D. Miller was selected by local farmers to represent them at the first planning meeting of this organization along with your county agent and other similar representatives from surrounding counties including Madison, Greene, Albemarle, Augusta, etc and thereby is director from Rappahannock. According to the plans worked out at this meeting the following rules and regulations shall govern the sale. 1. Consignor must own sow at time of farrowing. 2. Each consignor agrees to pay his pro rata share of the sale expense and to advance a fee of 10c per head to the sale organization at the time the agreement is signed. 3. Each consignor shall also comply with the following: A. Have all entries in hands of his county agent by not later than July 11, 1952. B. To have all pigs vaccinated against cholera (the type pf vaccine and time of vaccination to be determined by state veterinarian). Where a permanent type vaccine has previously been used, ho further vaccination will be required. C. To consign pigs that will weigh 50-125 lbs. by sale date, August 22, >952. D. To remove from the auction market before sale time all pigs consigned which do not qualify as to quality, weight and health. Other plans are: (1.) To mix ownership to make' attractive lots of equal size and quality; (2.) Weight breaks to be 10 pounds up to 100 lbs. add no division between those weighing lOOttflh lbs. ;(3.) Pigs ate to be inspected and vaccinated two (2) weeks ahead of sale date; (4.) Pigs will be sold by Weight; (5.) Pigs will be weighed, graded, and inspected at the market by state men qualified to do so; (6.) Delivery and grading will get underway at 6:00 a.m. on day of sale according to schedule designated by the chairman and all pigs tnu&fbe delivered by 11:00 a.m. This method of marketing, which you can readily see is very similar to that employed at feeder calf sales, has proven very popular and successful in Goochland , County and of course such is the aim of the Piedmont Feeder Pig Producers Association. Interested Rappahannock farmers may get application forms at this office or from D. D. Miller. Rappahannock fanners purchasing registered bulls at the Tri-breed Sale held at Winchester last Saturday were R. H. Scroggins, D. L. Miller, Jr., A. G Latham, and E. B. Combs. This brings the total to 45 head of registered sires reported placed in the county since November 16 of last year. The following 4-H Club boys have some excellent Poland China boar pigs for sale: Melvin Williams and Joe Williams who live in “Williamsburg” „ near Chester Gap; Randy Settle of Amissville; and Jackie Sisk, son of Milton Sisk at Sperryville. Such breeders desiring to improve the quality of their hogs are urged to encourage these boys by purchasing from them. Also the herd boar, about 15 months .old, which has been kept by Joe Williams and an excellent proved sire is for sale, all are very reasonably priced. For farther details contact this office or see one of these boys. See you in Middleburg Station this afternoon! Be sure and be there between one and three o’clock. FLINT HILL BOY SCOUTS.

Tommy-Rot fFnw W.i»ck*ftt*r £ve*i»* 5ttr). Representative government in ‘Virginia is decaying from “dry rot,” says Mr. F. P. Miller, who seeks to defeat Senator Byrd for re-election to the United States Senate. This is a serious charge. If representative government is decaying, then the Commonwealth itself is decaying, as, under our Constitution, representative government is the only type of government iwe can have. May we ask a few questions: Are we decaying from, “dry rot” because Virginia has one of the . finest road systems in the United States, built and maintained without local taxation? Virginia is oue of only three States of the 48 to maintain its entire road system— 50,000 miles. Are we suffering from “dry rot” because we developed and maintained this road system without indebtedness, without bonds? (Are we suffering from “dry rot” because we embarked on the payas-you-go program and have adhered to it ever since? Are we suffering from “dry rot” because contrary to the federal government continually and contiguously raises taxes until they have hit an exhorbitant level, Virginia in 1951 reduced income taxes by 20 per cent? Are we suffering from “dry rot” because, while operating within a balanced budget, only seven states are spending a higher percentage of receipts on education than is Virginia? Are we suffering from “dry rot” because Virginia led the nation in writing into law the strongest antilynching statute in the Union? Are we sufferng from “dry rot” * because Virginia has the third low* egt tax rate on land of any sf&te in the Union? Are we suffering from “dry rot” because Virginia’s representatives in the Congress are fighting for the same type of efficiency and economy in the national government that the Commonwealth exercises in the state government? Are we suffering from “dfy rot” because within the last few weeks the United States ‘ Public Health Service called on Virginia to give advice and counsel to North Carolina, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia in their efforts to develop successful public health programs?

They say that all babies born from May 24 to June 22 will be under the sign of Gemini, or the Twins. The constellation Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury—if that means anything—and so Gemini people are likely to be a little trying at times; also, they fly off the handle when crossed, especially in childhood; and they usually, settle down later into fairly useful citizens. Some of them have something left after taxes; the rest of them are like me. Gemini is said to favor writers, financiers, Mormons, and miscellaneous; such as, King George V; uen Victoria, Jim Tully, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Martha Washington, Gene Tunney, A1 Jolson, Pope Pius X, Robert W. Chambers, Jay Gould, Peter the Great, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, James Montgomery Flagg, Patrick Henry, Ernestine SchumannHeink, Brigham Young, Saint Boniface, Nero, ad Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Emilie, and Marie Dionne. , i -*»([ According to Will Cuppy, Gemini is named after Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Jupiter and Leda.

t Ti»“ ciT«rForseMon*l Care Of Poultry Rock Take care of yottr pullet flock-egg prices are expected 4o be nearly as high this fall as they were a year ago, says Harry L. Moore, head of the poultry department at VPI. He warns that warm, rainy or cloudy weather is ideal for the devel-' opment of coccijiiosis. Several treatments are effective in checking the disease. Decide what to use, and have a supply on hand. Watch the chicks closely, and when symptuns of, coctidiasis are noticed, treat according to directions. Keeping the litter in the brooder house dry, and the range free of water puddles will help prevent the disease. As soon as the pullets are old enough" to do without heat, they may be moved to the range. Good pasture, and ground on which no chickens diave ranged for at least a year, are recommended. Keep the pullets away from the older birds. Cockerl^ will reach frying size quicker and no less feed if they are kept confined. They may be kept in the brooder house until they are large enough to be eaten. Keep good growing mash and plenty of water before the pullets all the time. Oats and hen-size grit may be kept in a seperate hopper. Scratch grain may be fed after the middle of the afternoon. Cull all hens in the laying flock that have gone “broody” dr stopped laying. The hens that stop laying now are the poorest layers, and since prices for old hens are likely to fall in a month or two, it is more profitable to sell them now and save the feed ATTEND WEDDING who attended tike weddir Sunday, May fl of Miss Virginia Marie Goode and James Ransome, Brant at Calvyy Baptist Church, Washington, D.

Moore says in some sections there /is interest in preserving cheap eggs and using them in the fall when eggs are scarce and prices are high. One quart of water glass (sodium silicate) in nine quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled will preserve 15 dozen eggs. Put the solution in a fivegallon, or larger, stone jar, and place it in the basement or some other cool place. Clean, infertile eggs may be placed in the liquid the day after they are laid.

M. Woodside, assistant entomologist at the Staunton research laboratory, of the VPI /‘'ricultural Experiment Station. Woodside’s tests have shown that the insect, which has caused severe damage in some orchards can be 'controlled by spraying with parathion or DDT, or by thorough scraping of the trunks and heavy branches of infested 4rees. - . ..1 v Scraping, to be effective, Woodside says, must remove all loose bark and open all the burrows made by the borrers. Spraying, especially with parathion, must be done with caution, since the materials are dangerousWorkmen should wear protective clothing and respirators. Three pounds of 15% parathion wettable powder, or 2s pounds of EPN 300 in 100 gallons of water are suggested for sprays, one to be applied in late May and another in mid-June. Woodside says it is necessary in the control of heavy infestations to spray vtwo years in succession because of the two-year life-cycle of some of the borers. A bulletin giving details of the research will be available soon from| the VPI Agricultural • Experiment Station. Mrs. Georfce Berry was a Sunday afternoon caller of Mias Arisona Elkins.

I Health Office Bulletin "More than 4,000 caste of measles have been reported to the State* Health Department this year,” Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner, said today. From now on until late spring; many more cases of measles are expected in the state. 1952 is proving to be a year of high incidence in measles. We may expect a high wave of measles like this every two or three years,” he continued. “The early symptons of measles are similar to those of the common cold. These symptons increase in severity from two to four days and the cold becomes bronchial in nature. A dull red blotchy rash then appears »~. about the face and neck and spreads to title entire body within a three-day period. At this tim^ the various signs and symptons rapidly disappear, although the skin more slowly resumes normal appearance. “Most children recover from measles without any ill effects, but it may be sertmir forvifiry yoiing or dteicate children. Children under five, .and especially those under three, are most seriously affected by measles. Since the disease in older children is often mild, many parents believe that — measles in younger children does not merit special attention. This is far from true. “If the date of exposure to a case of measles is known, development of the disease may be prevented in young or sick children or the disease may be modified by the injection of a small amount of gamma globulin, which is available at your local health department at no charge. These injections must be made soon after exposure and in the proper dosage. This gives only temporary protection, but many lives can be saved by postponing the attack of measles in weak or young children,” Dr. Shanholtz said. “Most deaths from measles occur in youngsters under three years of age. The disease often increases their County News Notes Elder J.

The camp, which is administrated by the Virginia Forest Service, is intended to interest and instruct Virginia boys in sound forestry principles and is sponsored by the Southern Pulpwood Association.

There will be plenty of time for recreation - and atheletics under the supervision Beetle Injury Reported In Ladino Plantings The green June beetle has become one of the most important pests in ladino-orchard ■ < grass pastures in Virginia, says Dr. J. O. Rowell, entomologist at VPI. Dr. Rowell says the leaves which drop from the clover plants furnish excellent food for the beetle larvae, and that the serious advejit of the beetle in Virginia's pastures is closely associated with the growing popularity of ladino clover. The beetle larvae do damage, not by eating on the plants, but by pushing the plants out of the ground as they work their way to the surj^ce. The larvae or grubs of this beetle can be identified by the fact that they crawl on their backs. Some tentative recommendation^ for control have resulted from research at the Holland branch of VPI Experiment Station, and from field demonstrations. Df. Rowell says farmers who see the insect in their ladino-orchard grass pastures, or in other permanent pastures, should contact their county agent, or write the Agricultural Extension Service at VPI, Blacksburg, for a free copy of Circular MS-90.

Many local fishermen have reported nice catches from farm ponds this spring. There are over 50 ponds m Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties that have been stocked with fish for a period of 3 years or longer. Fishing in these ponds should be at its best this year. Dick Baridon, recent purchaser of the _ Fred Hitt farm near Estes, has developed a complete soil and water conservation plan for his farm in cooperation with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District. Mr. Baridon intends to develop this farm as a Ijeef cattle unit, growing mostly grasses and legumes.

Northern Virginia, West Of Blue Ridge Have Most Cattle ^ Your best chance of finding a farm with cattle or calves is to go to northern Virginia and/or to that area commonly referred to as “west of the Blue Ridge." A survey, conducted by J. D. Johnson, agricultural economist at VPI Experiment Station in cooperation with the Virginia Division of Markets and the Virginia Crop Reporting Service, showed that nearly onehalf of the farms with cattle inventories in 1951 were located in those two areas-northem and west of the Blue Ridge. Further, about 70 percent of the stake’s cattle population was on farms in those areas. ' tfltoFmatidh on livestock inventories, marketing practices, production practices, and pasture production and management, was gathered on 7,000 farms in 47 counties during the survey. The findings are not surprising, Johnson says, when you remember that much of the land can only,be used for pasture, hay and forage crops, or forests. An expansion of livestock and grass is taking place in other areas of the state, even though the process may seem slow to some. Johnson says there are several plusible reasons why farmers in eastern and southeastern Virginia have not fully embraced the cattle-pasture program: A large part of the cleared land is suitable for row-cropping, with less danger from surface erosion than in the mountainous areas. It is hard to change immediately the viewpoint of a row-crop farmer who has fought grass as an arch enemy all his life. “Fortunately, our educational efforts are succeeding in correcting this erroneous concept of grass,” Johnson says. -—.In those areas where cattle produc ENTERTAINS AT BRIDGE Mrs. C.E.

C. tion is in "the process of development,” some farmers may be delaying conversion because jof their uncertain- t, ty about the future of ewt i* . ices, and their impact on future tarm income. . ,, , Further, t»4 yi scientific animal husbandry is "somewhat mystical to a man steeped in cotton, peanut, and grain production lore. He simply does not know how to detect the danger signals, and knowing that animals need specialized attention, he is afraid to tackle the job,” Johnson said. “The solution to this problem is obvious. . . educate him, help him clear up the mysteries," Johnson adds. Other facts brought Out by the survey: Over 80 percent of the farms with sheep also were located in northern and west of the Blue Ridge areas. These farms accounted for 90 percent of the sheep in the state. The distribution of hogs differed from the sheep and cattle pattern. About 60 percent of the total hog population was located in southeastern and northern Virginia. ’‘Crystol."
