Estes celebrated his 89th birthday Tuesday, July 22 very quietly at his home in Sperryville with a few friends and relatives calling to extend congratulations on this happy occasion. Although Mr. Estes has reached this advanced age, he is still alert and enjoys talking over old times and his keen interest in his church is remarkable. He has -been a life time member of the Methodist Church and for a number of years was Superintendent of the Sunday School as well as a steward. -His activity in all -programs of the church has been outstanding.

For many years first one person and then another has commented to someone else on “how nice it would be if Old Hollow could be fixed up.” Well, now there are several persons interested enough to start pushing the idea along and to' support it with their donations and a few hours of their time. Permission for the proposed improvements has been secured from the owners, Amos Frazier and the Trustees of the Thornton Gap Primitive Baptist Church who are most kind and generous and who attach no strings to persons using the pool who conduct themselves with decency and reverent respect for the church and nearby property owners. The specific regulations will be posted on the grounds near the pool and persons disregarding them will be denied the use of the pool and will be reported for disturbing the peace. .. Specifically, the regulations will require that: 1. No one will use the pool during the hours of the church services at either of the two near-by churches nor during the time Baptismals are being conducted at the pool. , 2. No drinking and no intoxicat ed persons allowed on the grounds. 3. No indecency of act, word or dress will be tolerated nor any abuse of the rights and privileges of others. 4. Care and respect for the ..properties must be closely observed - no distraction or abuse of the buildings, fences, trees or proposed fixtures. Utmost care must be exercised in putting oat fires, clearing aiway paper, trash, tin cans and bottles after pionics. Briefly, the improvements which are proposed will include digging out the water chanel in such a way as to minimize flood damage, to widen and enlarge the pool with gradual descent from shallow water to deep, to clean banks free of underbrush, to open up the wooded section on the upper side of the pool and to fill in ruts and remove large rocks from the pine grove on the lower side, to improve the parking facilities, to provide, if money holds out, a picnic duiuanq joj jopjjaupui pun trash and to work toward improving the general appearance. most beautiful and picturesque spots in the county, is a natural pool of ever-changing clean water. It is readily accessible and is ideally suited not only for bathing but for cooling picnics. The public will ,be solicited for donations, each doner being given a receipt and being entitled to offer suggestions. Also an invitation is being made to anyone who can^ offer their time, materials, equipment or talents toward the accomplishment of any of these goals. A, list of all persons participating will appear in a later issue of Rappahannock News. This is to be a civic project, for the mutual benefits of all and it is hoped it will be met with enthusiastic support;—-—•——■:— •: All persons desiring further information or wishing to make a • contribution may call Sperryville 2551.

The chapter was extremely fortunate in having Howard Camp, Jr., Eastern Area Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety instructor, conduct the classes for the two-week course. There were 140 children from various sections of the county Registered in the swim classes. The classes continued to grow daily until Mr. Camp had to announce during the second week that the course was too near over for any more to register. Howrever, at the beginning of the second week new classes for beginners were organized for the late comers. Certificates will be issued to 48 participants, or 34% of the enrollment, who successfully completed the course by passing the tests given by Mr. Camp. I will mail these certificates out as soon as I receive them from Mr. Camp and the means of those receiving the certificates will be PbJ'l'shed in Rappahannock News. at a laier date. \ Those who will not receive a certificate this year can easily do so next year without any difficulty as Mr. Camp expressed great satisfaction in the progress of each and every child taking the course. Some of .the chil- , drep were more accustomed to “getting in the water” than the others and it is easily understood why these children could advance more rapidly than those who were not as accustomed to the water. However, if the swim lessons could, have lasted jus* one more week most of the children ? ! would have earned their certificate* * 4A according to Mr. Camp.

Davis of Washington was a speaker Wednesday, July 23, at the National Demorratir Convention when she took part on a ladies’ program in the Grand Ballroom of the Conrad Hilton hotel. Mrs. Davis appeared on the Mary Margaret McBryde television show Monday, July 21, and her speech was tape-recorded for re-broadcast on Thursday, July 24. Giving a narrative of how the ladies of Washington were elected and re-elected, Mrs. Davis expressed the belief that “we should first-he^-. women and perform our duties as such, and then accept public responsibilities as we have done. Assuming the old-fashioned notion that a woman’s place is in the home is true, then my contention is that a woman’s home extends beyond her front gate.” The mayor explained that the election was not “a battle of the sexes," but women in public office gave the opportunity of women “to help ease the acute and dangerous tensions of American life.” She' felt that, “men and women must proceed co-operatively on a course of conduct that will better our citizens to meet the changing, conditions in the world today.’’ A inortage of Printers • 1 Reported in Virginia ^ “ A report has just been received by L.

Subscription:-- $2.00 a year Prediction No With all the predictions a-print and a-float through the air, each one can join in the fun. Prediction from this corner is that we shall have the cage-iest group of voters for November elections yet seen in the history of the nation.. The Old-Guard Republicans took a beating; the radical young Democrats got their ears pinned back. ■Conservative Democrats don t like the platform; anti-Trumanites are not keen on the President’s nod toward the nominee; the Republican nominee has been a success in the military, but our records show that as a rule most folks take a dim view of putting too much military in a democratic government, and also, generals m the past haven’t covered themselves with glory as presidents. Most Americans are rejoicing on one conut: Both candidates are gentlemen. There may be dirty politics, but neither of the candidates will likely be a party to such tactics. There will probably be a record of voters who will keep their mouths shut and vote their own convictions come November. • That’* What We Knew Virginians are accustomed to men of integrity and honesty. That Governor Battle proved to he a man of honor was no surprise. We knew it all the time; we would have been extremely shocked to find his actions indicative of anything else. What has surprised us most is that some people seemed surprised. Perhaps we may excuse the attention paid to Governor Battle’s display of high qualities in somewhat the same manner that too much comment on Stevenson’s handling of the King’s English would be ill-appointed. Comparisons are often odious. Some of the behavior on the floor of the convention made Governor Battle’s conduct more outstanding than it should have been. We would like to think that good manners were the rule rather than the exception. Perhaps Stevenson’s speech was over-rated because of comparison with that which preceded it. It wouldn’t hurt so much to become angry, except that for some reason anger makes your mouth work faster than your mind.

He tried to explain his views. He voiced the opinion that he knew there were bound to be certain routes on the many bus lines that did not make as much profit to the bus company as other lines; but, like a store, where the merchant didn’t make much profit on one item, he made it upon another, so that he could make the business as a whole pay a living. It was a rather hot day when the delegation visited Richmond, and the gentleman from our neighboring county didn’t bother-to make himSelf appear too much like a city-slicker. Some lawyer must have misjudged the gentleman’s wit, for in trying to represent the bus company’s interests, the lawyer asked the gentleman : “Suppose you had three farms and cne of them didn’t pay? What would you do?” The reply came quickly enough, “I nave three farms and none of 'em pay.” Eggs By The Pound Eggs by the pound, instead of the dozen, are advocated by poultry marketing specialists at VPI, as a means of bringing the demand for small eggs more nearly in line with the demand for large ones.

The result is that producers receive, in many cases, only 50 to 60 percent as much for the same quantity by weight for pullet eggs as for large ones. One way to overcome this discrepancy, the specialists say, is to continue to sell eggs which are sized, graded and packed in one dozen cartons, but price them by the pound. Place a tag on each carton, similar to the one which appears on packages of self-serviifce meat, giving the weight of the eggs in the carton, the price per pound, and the price of that particular carton. “A pound .of eggs is a pound of eggs regardless of whether the pound is made up of small oV large eggs,” they conclude.

Usually, these small pests, clustered on the backs and under the sides of animals on pasture, appear late in spring. The best time to spray to rid cattle of these pests is when the horn flies average about 25 to 30 per adult animal. It is highly recommended the sprayings be repeated at 3 to 4 week intervals to control the pests until cool weather, after which spraying may be dis- j continued. The best and simplest system to control flying and crawling pests is to knock out the infestation on the animal—and on the premises—and to prevent re-infestation. According to Bernard P. Beaver, research chemist lur uie roaxston t'unna uom^ny, spraying at regular intervals does both. “A good fly spray to control horn flies, house flies, lice, biting gnats, mosquitoes and stable flies on beef cattle is made with a spray powder containing 49% DDT with %% lindane,” Beaver says. “The DDT gives long residual life to the mixture and the lindane gives quickkilling effect on the DDT-immune house flies. There is not, however, sufficient lindane in this formula to control mange mites.” Normally, a mixture of 8 pounds of the spray powder, Beaver explained, with 96 gallons of water can be applied at the rate of a half-gallon per adult animal. On the average, the cost of using a fly spray of this quality is about 3c per animal, per application. “A good commercial stock spray," he continued, “while more expensive to use, will rid beef cattle of horn flies, lice, biting gnats, mosquitoes and stable flies as well as ticks and sarcoptic mites. The stock spray should contain 45% DDT plus 2&% lindane, the powerful insecticide especially effective against mange mites and DDT-resistant house flies. This solution is a fast-acting agent. “This stock spray should be used 10 pounds of the powder to 100 gallons of water for horn flies, lice and ticks. Apply from a half to a gallon ' per adult animal to control flies and ticks, and from a gallon to one and one-half gallons for lice. Using a spray this powerful will cost approximately 11 to 12c per gallon. For stable flies, house flies and mange; y mites, use 20 pounds of the powder to 100 gallons of water. “Unless the cattleman is certain there is a mange mite or tick infestation, the fly spray will be sufficient, providing of course, he sprays at regular and frequent intervals.” On a cost-per-head basis, Beaver pointed out, the cattleman can spray 4 times with the fly solution for the cost of a single application of the more powerful and quick-acting stock spray. Beef cattlemen are urged by agricultural chemists to set up a program for fall spraying—just before the first cold snap. This fall application will tend to keep the lice under control during the winter. An adequate, planned spraying program, Beaver concluded, is essential to fast, efficient gains and for profitable milk production. Research authorities agree the program should be put into operation in the spring when the first signs of infestation are evident and be continued at regular and frequent intervals until the cold weather prevents further application.

Farmers Express Wish For Soil Survey A project, Map and Soil Survey for Rappahannock, which was started some years ago by former county agent H. S. Barksdale, has begun to see light by the present county agent W. H. *Lyne as chairman, H. S. Barksdale, E. M. Jones, and other interested farmers of the county. The project was discussed at a meeting Friday, July 28, of the agronomy and Horticultural Committees. Among the interested persons ■ who went in the spring to see Dr. Obenshain, Dr. Young, and others soil specialists of V.P.I., were H. S. Barksdale, W. H. Lyne, J. R. Latham, Charles Estes, and E. M. Jones. These men returned to Rappahannock convinced that the counties which proved to the men at V.P.I. that they wanted a soil survey and map made of the county would be the rfist ones to have this work done. As a result of this interview, specialists from the Experiment Stations, V.P.I. specialists, and L. B. Henrietty, and other met at the Courthouse with about 30 farmers who wrere interested in securing a survey of Rappahannock soils. These specialists explained in detail the survey work. Facts, with the demonstration of their work with soils in Sperryville, Woodville, Scrabble, and Ben Venue, convinced these farmers to such ARE YOU TIRED-BEAT? See Page 7 J. E.

Present chemical characteristics are determined by age of the soil, or stage of development, and parent^ material from which it was derived. Soil type is based primarily on physical characteristics, which cannot be, determined merely by looking at the surface, nor even the plough depth. Soil might be very fertile, yet have physical qualities to‘ make it unproductive. The two important methods of determining the productivity of the soil are experience and map making. The later method was startea in 1899. Today the combination of both are most effective. It requires a student about three years to qualify for such scientific work, because there are so many iactors involved, botn physically and mentally. Soils are determined by types, slope and degree of erosion. When soil is mapped, you put all possible knowledge you can secure on the map. The geographic picture by airplane, the color, physical differences etc. Many of these facts can only be secured by digging in the soil as deep as necessary to secure the desired information, through as many fields of knowledge as possible. At this time the farmer’s practical experience is most valuable. It would take around a year to map Rappahannock County, at around $30,000.00. Everyone would be given a map of his land, and the various agriculture committeemen and agents would explain it to him or her. Rappahannock does not have to assume any part of the cost. Some individuals in the county already have their maps It is the consensus of the opinion of the committee that Rappahannock would be greatly benefited by their project, as has other counties, that have proven its value by experience. Maps have shown that most of the good land in the counties mapped was found to be in woods. Persons who wish to purchase land these days usually want to know the soil as he would an Angus Bull. In Norfolk County the map showed that the best land in the county was to be sold to the navy, because it was thought to be the poorest. It was also stated that because of the fact that the map in Culpeper County was not used that a certain school building was built on a type of soil not suitable for building lot. Consequently when the soil expans as the result of moisture, the basement is damaged. The citizens of Rappahnnock, who were present at this important meeting desire the expression of other citizens in the county and would gladly pass on to anyone the valuable information received through their study and discussions on the subject.

It is urgent that all members be present at this meeting. DO'S AND DONT'S OF FIRST SPOON FEEDINGS By the time your baby is about three months old your doctor will probably tell you to start him on solid food. What your baby starts on—whether it’s cereal or strained fruit—is up to your doctor. How your bnby starts is very much up to you! Mother’s attitude can make first spoon feeding a pleasant new adventure or a battle of wits. Since baby’s first reactions may influence his mealtime habits ail through childhood, it’s important to get off to a good start. “It helps avoid worry if you remember that solid food is generally offered these days before there is acute nutritional need for it,” says Dr. Otto A. Faust, Consulting Pediatrician to the Beech-Nut Packing Company. Since milk, in early months, still supplies a baby’s main food necessities, he can take his time getting used to solid foods, their new tastes and textures. The important thing, according to Dr. Faust, is for the baby to learn to like to eat. These quick tips can help make first spoon feedings enjoyable: Start slowly, a tiriy taste oh the tip of a small-sized spoon. Thin the food so it’s “soupy” if baby rejects it in its more solid form. Many babies gobble up thin foods like Strained Banana or Apple Sauce “as is.” Let baby decide whether he wants it before or after his bottle. \ Expect him to be surprised at this ; (to him) funny new stuff. i Relax and enjoy watching him 1 slowly learn how. to handle it. i /■UJSELL-YOUNG ICE CREAM COMPANY Culpeper, Virginia Stop At The ATLANTIC SIGN J.

Rodes B Brown, Jr, cashier of Rappahannock Nat’l Bank, who represents the Virginia Bankers Association as Rappahannock County Agricultural Key Banker. “Operating a successful farm today requires a much larger investment than it did a few years ago," he said. “The average Virginia farm is larger than it was ten years ago. In the face of the shortage of farm labor, this means that more of the work must he done by machinery. “High levels of production are necessary not only to provide the basic commodities the world needs, but also to justify the large investment m modern agriculture. In recent months, farmers have been faced with rising costs of the things they buy and lower prices of the things they sell. Production is the key to New Pasture Leaflet Available “Here’s How to Seed That Pasture” is the title of a newly prepared leaflet now available from county agents or from the agronomy department at VPI. The leaflet advises farmers to take soil samples now and send them to the agronomy department for analysis. Apply the amount of lime needed at least 30 days before seeding, and plow or disk it into the soil. The soil test also will give an indication of the amount and analysis of fertilizer needed. The leaflet also gives suggestions on what and when to seed, and other tips for top pastures. Hog Growers Position Better Fewer pigs going to market and an expected drop in feed costs add up to a brighter picture for hog growers during at least*the next year, says George Herring, animal husbandman at VPI.. He says that the 1952 spring pig crop in the United States is reported as 9 per cent below that of last year. Indications are that farmers also will breed 9 per cent less sows for fall farrow' than they did a year ago. Virginia reduced its number of sows farrowing in the spring of 1952 hy 5 per cent, hut came up with one per cent more pigs raised than the year before. The high average of 6.7 pigs per litter was above that in any of the other southern states. Virginia growers report 5 per cent less sows bred to farrow this fall.' The reduced number of hogs which will be available for market in the next 12 months will help hog prices. ~Feecl~costs are likely to j>e down because of heavy grain production in the United States this year. The wheat crop is’ near’ record, and there are excellent prospects ‘ of a largecorn crop. During most of the past year,; hog growers have been faced with extremely high feed, costs and low prices for market hogs as a result of the short com crop and large pig ' crop of 1951. Profits were, stpall. More often, farmers broke even otr even under the best of conditions, lost money on their hogs. The heavy pig crop of 19Sl was j marketed rapidly, but in May \the volume moving tq market dropped ofi and prices improved. keeping agriculture profitable. “To fill their needs for capital, farmers have turned mostly to the hanks throughout the state,” Mr. Brown said. Quoting from the 11th annual national survey of agricultural lending by the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association, he noted that "the vast majority of farm loans made by banks are for production and operating requirements. In 1951, the last full year of operation, Virginia banks— serving agricultural communities , - loaned $62,840,000 to 29,776, farmers_ for all types of financial needs. Of this amount, $51,092,000 was borrowed by 26,963 farmers to finance production and operating needs. This compares with 28,656 production loans, totaling $45,554,000, during 1950. These production loans were quickly repaid, too, and only $31,189,(500 were outstanding at the end of 1951. “The year 1951 was marked by a decrease in the total of 'hank-held farm mortgage debt, indicating that this type of borrowing is being kept to a minimum. At the beginning of the year, the total agricultural mortgage debt held by Virginia banks was $29,351,000. During the year, banks made 2,813 additional farm real estate loans in an aggregate of $11,748,000. Yet, so much of the mortgage debt was paid off during the year that, on December 31, 1951, the total amount of this long term debt outstanding had fallen $443,000 to a total of $28,908,000. “The fact that the state’s banks are serving particularly the operators of small and moderate-sized farms is shown by the size of the average loan made by banks during the year. The average production loan was $1,895, during 1951, and the average farm real estate loan was $4,176. “The total of bank-held agricultural debt outstanding in Virginia on January 1 of this year was $60,097,009, excluding C.C.C. loans,” Mr. Brown said.

Shanholtz warns in the midst of one of the worst heat waves on record. “People likely to be affected seriously by too much heat include those suffering from any general disease,, alcohol addicts, the very young, the very old, or the very fat, Dr. Shanholtz remarked ‘‘Sun stroke and heat exhaustion are the two most common ailments from over-exposure. Although they result from the same causes, they differ greatly both in symptons and methods of treatment," the health official said. Dr. Shanholtz explained that in sun stroke, the symptons include a very red face, dilated pupils, hot dry skin, no perspiration, labored breathing and sighng, a full and rapid pulse and very high temperature. Often there are spasms of the muscles. “The patient should he moved into a cool place immediately and a doctor should he called. After removing the patient's clothes, the body should be cooled. Three methods of cooling are recommended by the American Red Cross: (1) Wrap the patient’s body in a sheet and pour on cold water; (2) A cool bath, up to 20 minutes, with brisk rubbing to stimulate circulation; (3) Cold, wet cloths or ice bags, with rubbing. The patient should lie with his head elevated and no stimulants should be given.” Dr. Shanholtz said. “People who have not been in good health or who are intemperate are especially susceptible to heat exhaustion. Loss of salt from the body is the chief cause," Dr. Shanholtz continued. “Heat exhaustion usually begins with muscular weakness, dizziness, nausea, and an uncertain, staggering gait. The face is pale and perspiration is profuse. The pulse is weak and breathing is shallow. The patient may become cold, even though the air is warmer than body heat. Prostration or weakness may become extreme. “In treating heat exhaustion, move the patient to circulating air. Make him lie down and provide a moderate amount of covering. A half teaspoonful of salt in about one-third glass of water may be given repeatedly until as much as a tablespoon of salt has been given.

Call a doctor if exhaustion symptons don’t pass away readily.” In concluding, Dr. Shanholtz urged that these differences between sun stroke and heat exhaustion bdf recognized and remembered. “Treating a case of sunstroke as heat exhaustion or vice versa could lead to very unfortunate results,” he said. Edith Royster and daughter, Georgia and Martha Burke were in Harrisonburg Sunday. Billy Stuart was a guest of his mother over the weekend. * SHOCK-PROOF WATCHES It pays to awn a WAKMANN Watch, since they are incabloc shock-protected and antimagnetic.
