The press need make no apology when President Truman says that <87 per cent of the newspapers were opposed to his re-election in 1948. There could be thought that the press may be paid no higher compliment. His record for the past four years holds abundant evidence the” 87 per cent were correct in their judgement. Perhaps the criticism of the press may -■be that it didn’t work hard enough. What Would Grandpa Do? (From the McComb, Miss., Enterprise-Journal, Sept. 15) Grandpa was a Democrat. He and his cronies were all Democrats. This editorial refers to the average Mississippi grandpa of yesteryears. Grandpa and his bud-^ dies created the Democratic Party. Grandpa fought for the Democratic party, and of course, the Democratic Party fought for him. Grandpa had certain principles which he upheld. The Democratic Party which he established represented these principles. Grandpa said that the government was the . servant of the people and by gad, Grandpa insisted that the people and not Washington give the orders. If Grandpa were alive today he (would be a fighting man. He would be oiling up his old trusty. If he were here today and picked up a newspaper and read on the front page that a Democratic candidate was in favor of an anti- , segregation law, well, that wxmld have just gotten Grandpa ready for an argument. And if he happened to be here today and heard of the corruption in Washington, he would do a lot more than just blow his top. Grandpa would be busy right now trying to clean up and clean out the mess in Washington. Grainclpa had a great respect for his family doctor. If he were here today, he (would be mightily impatient with all of this talk about socialized medicine. Grandpa would be busy making war on the fivepercenters, the mink coaters, the deep freeze recipients. Old Grandpa would simply refuse to accept these things lying down.

Grandpa was the kind of a Democrat who upheld clean government. He didn’t like the idea of politicians acting as though they owned the government and the people. Now old Grandpa was a frugal man. He believed in thrift and he always tried to save a little for a rainy day. He 'was the kind of a Democrat who insisted that this idea of thrift and economy and decency characterize his government. If Grandpa were here today and learned about our 262billion-dollar debt, old Grandpa would say a thing or two and people wouldn’t accuse him of doubletalking either. Grandpa was straightforward with his politics. If Grandpa were alive today he would say, "I helped make the Democratic Party. And I didn’t make it along the lines that it is being run today.” Then he would-; start throwing out the bums. Grandpa didn’t have much respect for political bosses. Grandpa bossed the Democratic Party and if he iwere here today he would let the bosses know he is the boss. Things would surely enough be popping if old Granddad were here with his high principles of Democratic behavior. Grandpa would punch someone in the nose if they argued with him about a federal anti-poll tax law. If he were here today and someone said that Washington was giving the orders, he would say, “I’m not taking orders. This is our Democratic Party and we give the orders. We don’t take them.” That old gent loved the Constitution and if he were alive at this moment he would be going up and down the state of Mississippi demanding respect for this bulwark of freedom. Don’t sell Grandpa short. He -was a man of principle. The Democratic Party was made to suit his ideals. Grandpa would not tolerate the idea of re-shaping his party to fit the sham and make-believe of a lot of radical pressure groups _~ zrzz _PITTS DRIVE-IN THEATRE CULPEPER On Brandy Road (Route 15) TVz Miles North of Culpeper 2 Shows Nightly: 7:30 and 9:30 A CAR FULL FOR $1-00 Plus 20c tax . .

One thing is certain. If Grandpa could be here in Mississippi on election day he would whale the tar out of a lot of us of his sons and daughters if he found them “going fishing.” Grandpa would say, “What’s all this talk about going fishing? Haven’t you got the guts to uphold decency in government? Is this the kind of kids I have brought up?” About this time Grandpa would start in breaking fishing o poles over his knee or over somebody’s something else. Don't kid yourgelf about old Grandpappy. H^was a Democrat true and blue but he was a Democrat true and blue because the Democratic Party represented his finest conception of government. Really, how would your grandfather respond to the political distortions of this hour if he were alive today? This is a personal question which every Mississippian must answer for himself. 1 I I | 'The Time lias Come/ \ • | • » . | . the Walrus saiH . . .

Machines have taken away much of the back-breaking effort and thus have made the lot of the worker easier and more pleasant. . Most of us are agreed that this is as it should be and most of us hope that further inventions will make possible even better machines that will further increase the production of the worker, afford him even greater real wages and make for him a still easier and more pleasant existence. This benefit to the worker has come to him through a combination of his own efforts and better machines. But beneficent as all this may be, it is a softening-up process which portends danger to the welfare and safety of this nation. Not satisfied with the progress tha has been made by pursuing the “American Way” of accomplishing things, through giving initiative and ingenuity free rein and adequate reward, Federal Gov eminent during the past two dedfl adee has stepped into the pkturfl Bit by bit it has usurped function! formerly performed by the state! by communities fend by private] corporations and individuals. It] has undertaken the impossible task] of providing “security” for all by’ attempting to convert our Constitutional Republic into a “Welfare State Democracy.” Already part of this softening up program has been launched and more is “planned” for the future. In other words, Federal Govern-] ment is encouraging the American people to believe that they no longer should fend for themselves and that a paternalistic government owes them a living. Thus, it disregards all the teachings of history which prove that no government has ever been able to do for its citizens the things they should do for themselves, without eventually bringing ruin and degradation upon the very people it sought to help. Great Britain is a modern example of the fallacy of establishing the “Welfare State.” A once-proud self-reliant nation already has been reduced to a greatly reduced standard of living for its people.

DAY, Manager PHONE 105 FRONT ROYAL Mlwry to Washington Every Monday SOFTENING-UP (Continued from page 2) “In the long run nobody owes the British people a living and the point must come when they enjoy only that standard of living for which they are prepared to work.” As to what has been transpiring in America, CaptaiA Eddie Rickenbacker recently made this pointed comment: “A welfare state is one in which the people live from HAND-OUT to mouth.” More than half a century ago, Henry George, famed American economist, looking far into the future with prophetic vision, uttered the following warning: “The ideal state is not that in which each gets an equal amount of wealth, but in^which each gets in proportion to his contribution to the general stock.” But no(w to return to the life of comparative ease in .which the American worker luxuriates today and the danger it portends to the actual welfare, progress and safety of America, please read what Thomas Edison had to say shortly before his death: I am wondering what would have happened to me .by now if 50 years ago some fluent talker had, convinced me to the theory that it was not fair to my fellow workers to put my best efforts into my work. I am glad that the eight-hour day had not been invented when I was a young man. If my life had been made up of eight-hour days, I do not believe I could have accomplished a great deal. This country would not amount ho as much as it does if young men of 50 years ago had been afraid they might earn more than they were paid for.” Now, lest someone should deyelop the idea that I am opposed to the improved lot of the worker let me hasten to say that I am heartily in favor of it. The point I’m trying to make, is that American workers do not need a “Welfare State,” that under our American system they have achieved the highest standard of living in world history; and that they should stoutly resist any and all attempts of Federal government to do for them the things they are doing so well for themselves. When government gives, it also dictates. Freedom is lost. Winston Churchill recently put it this way: “Resisting tyranny is the duty of every citizen who wishes to live in a free country.” We should resolve that there shall be no further softening-up of our economy. Next, we should act by carefully screening the candidates up for election on November 4. Then, iwe should vote for those candidates who publicly proclaim that if elected they will do their level best to bring to a halt the “softening-up process” which is eating away at the very vitals of our American economy. WALRUS (Continued from page 2) Some history teacher’s face is going to be powerful’ red when she finds but that the high school girls iwho furnished music for the recent U. D. C. meeting in Front Royal rendered a lusty account of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” What made it even funnier was that the lady who introduced them did so by saying, “These young ladies will now entertain us with a group of old Southern melodies.” Shades of our grandfather Confederate veterans! . . . Their ghostly rebel yells should have drowned out the music or else should have sung the proper words of “Hang John Brown to a Sour Apple Tree!” Of course, the tale goes that when the first group of American soldiers landed in England during World War I, it happened to be a Georgia regiment. The English bandmaster, hunting for something appropriate to play when the soldiers marched ashore, found (and played) “Marching through Georgia.” Somehow, I’ve never been able to believe that tale. I’m not versed in such matters, but I’d lcnotw better than to play “The British Grenadiers” in a March 17th parade; and if I didn’t know what to play, I’d find out—-or else keep silent. /Mr. Eisenhower made a break sorta’ like the wrong-music item when he mentioned his admiration for Oliver Cromwell. Most folks think his admiration is for Cromwell's mixed use of military talents, religious fervor, and governing tactics, but someone fished out and old English history text and found a few additional facts concerning the sour-puss, soup-bowlhair-cut codger, whose picture is plastered in the hitory book along with Charles I and II. „ Oliver Cromwell is remembered by the Irish as the butcher of half the Irish race in the 1649-1650 campaigns. Chief among his massacres were those of Drogheda, in which 4000 defending soldiers were slaughtered after Cromwell promised quarter, and every civilian, including babies, was massacred. Cromwell readily admitted these orders in reports to Parliament which are freely quoted. In the town of Wexford the soldiery and the whole population were murdered after promise of amnes ty was given. The town was so completely stripped of human population thal; Cromwell wrote to Parliament pointing out that a nice place, all empty, was waiting for new settlers. „ It’s 300 years later, but it’s not difficult to see that any reference in admiration of Cromwell would hardly rest pleasantly on Irish ears—and there are right many sons of Erin on voting lists. o o o Some Trumanite *has tried to justify what is titled “This Mess in Washington" by saying there is corruption in business and industry as well as in government. It may be true, but we have yet to hear the head of a business or industry, in which corruption had been found, declare that there was no mess. Neither did they pull every possible wire to prevent full investigation. It usually is the case that the head of the business 4 ferrets out the corrupt worker, calls in the law, and sees that the dishonest employee gets3 the book thrown at him. The two presidential candidates, says adt editor of a Kingsville, Texas, paper, are waging the battle of the books. Ike’s tossing a tome titled, “The Mess In Washington,” and Addie is slinging Joe Miller’s Joke Book when he misses with Webster’s Unabridged.

Dairy (herd grazing improved Blue Grass pasture overlooking dairy bam and homestead on Mt. Vernon farm at Speriyville. * Soil and Yon By L. B. Henretty This article is about one of the most important things in your lifesoil. Yes, ordinary soil like that in your lawn or garden, sometimes erroniously referred to as dirt. A quick glance around will remind you of how extremely dependent one is upon the soil. When it is near mealtime, you do not have to be reminded of food. But food is only one of the numerous necessities that have their origin in the soil. If you work in a department store you see, wool and cotton fabrics and leather shoes all produced on the soil of somebodys farm. If you are a student in school, you sit at a desk and study books, both made from wood that once grew from the soil. The soil produced a good portion of your house, barn and even your automobile. All of us are inescapably linked with the soil. Man lives on the land, is a land animal and gets his basic needs from the land. Warm clothing and fuel to burn are necessary during cold weather. These things all come from the land. Man would soon perish if deprived of any of them. People in many walks of life feel that they do not directly work with agriculture. This is definitely a mistaken idea. Actually business and industry is nothing more than the production, transporting, processing and selling of the products of the land. If you are employed by business or industry, you probably do only one small bart in our complex system of livng from the land. If you are a bank clerk, insurance salesman, lawyer, teacher or mechanic, you do not deal directly with these products, but rather you supply services to those who do. Even though you depend on the soil only to keep you alive and for your job or business, you still get much more from the land. Actually, your relatively high standard of living, the “American Way” of which we are all justly proud, depends on productive soil. There are approximately 6 million farms in the U.S. Each of these farms produces sufficient food and fiber for the farm family and for 17 additional people who do not live on the farm. This means that, you as one of the 17, so not have to grow your own food, but can produce other things. In short, it means, an advance from primitive conditions when everyone lived on the land and produced his own food. This is our way of life. Good, high producing soil is necessary to maintain our high standard of living. Poor soil brings about that ugly word “scarcity.” And scarcity means runaway prices and more controls. When scarcity exists freedom of even the most personal kind may be restricted. Our “American Way” depends on abundance not scarcity. Abundance is made possible by our natural resources, the most important of which is soil. Our soils most of them having been farmed for about 200 years are being depleted at a very rapid rate. The factor that is largely responsible for this is water erosion. Erosion attacks the land as cancer attacks the human body. It is a gradual process and frequently is not evident until in the latter and severe stages. In fact, many farmers don’t realize that some* thing is eating away their valuable top soil until crop yields drop sharply. Erision occurs during rains and is most evident immediately afterwards. Today Yesterday. . Tomorrow By W. H. Lyne, County Agent There are two very pertinent facts related to‘our nation’s and county's agricultu re which I wish to try to bring to the attention of Rappahannock farmers—farmers who think and then do. One: our population is increasing very rapidly; and two: productive soil from which food for these mouths must be grown is decreasing rapidly. '_ _ I’m not attempting to begin to say what should be done about the population trend; however, the trend of productive acreages is and will be a result of yesterday. . . today and tomorrow. Whether the trend con(See YESTERDAY . . page 8) When the land is worked after he rain the telltale rills are eroded and soon forgotten. Valuable soil, lime, fertilizer and organic matter that were washed from the1 field are gone forever and have a definite effect on the future productivity of the ..field. Since your way of living is so closely linked with the land, you may wish to know how much you have and what is happening to it. Erosion has taken its toll on 100 million acres of once-good cropland. We now have about 460 million acres of good cropland left. Our present population in the U.S. is 152 million people. This means that your share is approximately 3 arces. TJiat is all you have to grow your foo/4 and clothing which should include enough meat and dairy products for a balanced diet. The important question is, what is happening to your 3 Acres? Half of your share in Americas farm land is being damaged by soil erosion. The other half is less affected but is subject to erosion, when not properly cared dor. Demands from hungry countries, and our rapidly increasing population are cheating you out of some of your 3 acres. Also, more good cropland isjbeing taken -up each year for homes" factories, airports and super-highways. One of two things is going to happen to you, either you must get along on less food, less clothing and a much lower standard of living or more food and fiber must be produced on your diminishing portion of America’s cropland. What is being done about your situation ? The most encouraging fact is that we have now recognized the danger. The solution is in learning to use the land efficiently and at the same time protect the soil. This is soil conservation—using the land to produce the most without waste. The conservation of soil is more than that. It means holding more rainfall on the land, to save moisture for growng crops and subdue floods. It means farming on the level around the slopes to prevent soil washing, and maintaining grass waterways lest they become gullies. It means growing more soil-building grasses and legumes for mote livestock to use it. It means planning and treating each acre on each individual farm according to the needs of the land as well as the farmer. It means convincing the farmer, who is the custodian of the soil, of the urgency of conserving it, and it means telling YOU about this problem, so, that you may share in the responsibility of conserving one of the most important things in your life. Soil Conservation — By C. E. Johnson, Jr. After ten years of practicing Soil Conservation, I am better sold on it than ever. In the first place, it is a matter of common sense and does not require a lot of "book learning.” In the second place, what I have done is even better than savings account of money, for my savings are in my own land, and are not affected by inflation. Whether farm prices go up or down I can now produce more food per acre than I could ten years ago. On a couple of steep hills that were taken out of cultivation now stand some* locusts that are big enough for posts. My wood lots have some good young trees coming along. My cultivating fields are now in contour strips and although hard rains sometimes wash theth some, no . soil has left the farm in recent years. By holding the water and using hybrid seed, I now get by with about 5 acres of corn where 20 were formerly needed. Even though the grass strips are not grazed, they give fine hay yields—better than if they were grazed down short in the fall. With better pasture care, the broom sedge has about disappeared and one field that formerly carried 8 cows through the summer now carries 14 cows and their calves, or a cow and calf for each 2 acres. Due to better water-holding capacity, plus top dressing, my hay yields are way up and about all the hay made is good hay, not weeds, and sticks. From a mechanical standpoint, we find that it is easier to pull machinery on the contour than up hill and down _ TJaleT-.' 4^ The springs on the farm appear to be in better condition than ever. Streams have been straightened and some wet land drained. These same streams seem to stay within their banks better than formerly. In all fairness, a few words should be given to our Soil Conservaton District and to our Technicians. The operation of the District is decided by its farmer members and is done in a democratic way. The Technicians are able men who do not believe in disrupting your farm operation. They come in, if invited; survey your farm and its needs as they see them ; maTce their recommendations; and then leave. SOIL CONSERVING PATTERN—Crop rotations in contour strips on sloping field on farm of H. L. Manwaring. This pattern conserves valuable soil and rainfall. Alfalfa has been seeded on strip above corn in the foreground. What Conservation Means To Me As A Farmer By Walter Slavik Conservation to me as a farmer means the difference between merely making a living on a farm and enjoying it 1 think of conservation as a goal and not as the immediate result such as bigger and better crops, more income, and less work and expense per dollar production. If I put more time and money in my farm now, for a sure return of this investment plus real dividends later, I’m paying the way toward the real objective: Enjoyment of life on the farm. And in my opinion no other kind of life'offers more opportunity for genuine enjoyment. If he has the land, no farmer needs to struggle for a bare existence, good times or bad—if he practices conservation. Mother earth is too fruitful. All she wants is cooperation and encouragement. Then she will yield a living with leisure time for other satisfaction besides good food and SOIL DEPLETING PATTERN—Crop rotation in square and rectangular fields with corn rows running up and down hill. Note corn being cultivated crosswise, also up and down hill. This method is destructive and costly to the farmer. Use Your Land Correctly Farms and ranches now occupy a little more than a billion acres, or slightly less than 60% of the area of the United States. Some of the land within these six million farms and ranches can be cultivated safely, but a great deal of it is too steep and erodible, too wet, too shallow, or in some other way not suited to cultivation. Practically every farmer in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties has some of the land problems meptioned above. Some have worked out solutions to these problems. Many others fcre still wondering just what is best to do, or where to find out. There is a way for them to find help in solving these problems—through fhe Culpeper Soil Conservation District. m If you are a farmer you are concerned, along with the rest of us, about the land of the Nation. You are also concerned in a special way with the land on your farm. No doubt you know a good deal about some of the different kinds of land that you are farming, but do you know the main good and bad points about all - each kind - of your land? Stream bottom lands, for example, are easy to recognize. Some are sandy, some are loamy, and some afe heavy (clayey). These vary. Some are welldrained, some are water-logged. Some soils take in water readily, some do not. You can think of many varia4 tions of land. It takes an expert to sort them out and help you decide which are really different in a way that counts under the conditions you use them. - A trained, experienced technician, after thorough study on the ground, can appraise and describe the many different kinds of land that should be used or treated in different ways. Some land is nearly level, some is fiber. The important thing is to be patient with her, to forego quick immediate returns—for better ones later. It’s something like saving your money, investing it, and getting it back three, four, or even fivefold, in a very few years. That is how I feel about my own farm. And so I have adopted and am following as many conservation practices as I can: Crop rotation, field cover, manuring, liming, fertilizing, pasture improvement, etc. The faster I get these practices going, the sooner my goal will be reached, I know, but I'm not trying to do it all at once. I don’t believe in being in too big a hurry. Like any other science or art that deals with real life, conservation is a growing knowledge. We learn by doing. And we learn still better ways of doing. I want to stay in touch with conservation as it develops further, and take full advantage. So I’m doing about one field a year but doing that field ‘well. Maybe when I get around to the last field, several years from now, conservation men will have some suggestions even better than those offered today. If it’s a hay field, maybe there’ll be a better strain of alfalfa, or a better grass than orchard; if it’s pasture, maybe there’ll be an improved Ladino. You never can tell. But I’m not going to sit back and wait; J’m going ahead, field after field, year after year. There’s only one promised land worth waiting and dying for. But there is a promised land worth living for, and working toward. And for me conservation holds the key. Many city people think (I guess I should have said assume; they really don’t think, in this case) that all farmers,, working farmers, are either too busy or too dumb to enjoy the outdoor pleasures that their land offers, like swimming, picnicing, hunting, fishing, bird-watching, or even walking. They’ll have to think twice in my case. I’ve already built my farm pond; and I’m going to see to it that I have the leisure time for fishing and everything else, too— through conservation. Maybe there are farmers who think this kind of enjoyment is silly, or sissy. I don’t I didn’t when I lived in the city, why should I think otherwise now that I’m on a farm? And doubt that farmers are any different from city folks when it comes to enjoying themselves. They are human too. Furthermore, you always do a better job, when you like to do it, and enjoy doing it. That goes for farming as well as anything else. I want to do the best job of farming I can, and I am very grateful to the Culpeper Soil* Concervation District and to the Soil Conservation Service for its assistance. sloping, and some is steep. Some of the level land is good for cultivation some may be too wet. Two or three different kinds of soil may occur on nearly level land, on gentle slopes, on moderate slopes, and on slopes so steep they cannot be cultivated safely. To figure out the best uses for each kind of land on one farm takes a lot of time and study. To select the best practices for each kind takes more study and time. The farmer who would do this by himself must keep (See USE LAND, pace 8)

USE YOUR LAND (Continued from page 7) informed about the work of various experiment stations and study the experience of a great many other > farmers. It is more convenient for him to follow the technical guidance of someone who is especially trained and experienced in this kind of thing. These are jobs on which it pays him to engage qualified help, the same as he does when his radio needs repa.r or one of his electric motors needs rewinding. First, a land-capability inventory helps a farmer know and remember what kinds of land he has. A land specialist comes out to make this land-capability inventory for the use of the farmer and the soil conservationist when he visits the farm later. This land specialist, or soils man, carries an auger to get down deep into the subsoil so that he can examine the soil sufficiently to find out the good arid the bad points about it. He doesn’t map land just on the surface alone; he looks under the surface to find such things as good friable jday subsoil, gravely droughty subsoil, and other variations that can be found only by this painstaking examination. You can’t tell what is inside a book just by looking at tlje cover. You must open it, read it. Likewise, you can’t just look at the topsoil and tell the kind of land. You must look inside, examine the' layers that are under the surface, and interpret what you find. Even for the farmers who have studied their soils, the soils man's findings usual ly help to explain some of the things they have seen from year to year without exactly understanding what they saw, or thought they saw. Why the crops grow well in some places and not so well in others, for example; and why the crops on some spots slow up or stop growing when dry weather comes. The soilsman also carries a small adjustable hand level that he uses to measure the steepness of slope, and, of course, a map on which to write down what he finds out about the soil and its slope. This base map is an aerial photograph that was taken on clear day from several thousand feet in the air. It shows the fields, roads, buildings, streams, forests, and various other features. As he bores, the soilsman measures the depth of topsoil remaining and puts on the map the degree of sheet erosion and severity of gullying on each area. The completed land capability may gives much useful information” to the farmer about the land he is farming. It is colored to fell him the suitability of each different piece of land for cultivation and other uses. Each color shows one of eight classes of land that are called Land Capability Classes. Classes I, II and III include the land that is suited for regular cultivation, and Class IV the land that can be safely cultivated only in a limited way. Classes V, VI and VII include the land that is not suited for cultivation but is suited for grazing or forestry. Class VIII is not suited for cultivation, grazing or forestry, but may be used for wildlife or recreation. Here are more detailed descriptions of the eight Land Capability Classes: Class I is very good land with few limitations in use. It is nearly level and does not wash readily. The soil is deep and easy to work. It holds water well and is at least fairly well supplied with plant nutrients. Class II is good land wih some limitations. It may be poorer type of soil, it may be on a steeper slope, it may have suffered some erosion, or it may require some drainage. Class III is moderately good land for cultivation. It is limited in use more than Qass II land due to steeper slope, poorer soil, worse erosion, or poorer drainage. Class IV land is good enough for occasional cultivation under careful management, but it is not suited for regular production of cultivated crops. If possible, it Is better left in grass. Class V land is nearly level and not subject to erosion. However, because of wetness, shallow soil to bedrock, or rock outcrops, it is not suited for cultivation. It has a few limitations for grazing or forestry. Qass VI land is not suitable for any cultivation. It has some limitations for grazing or forestry due to shallow soil, steep slopes, erosion, or excessive wetness. Qass VII land is not only unsuked for cultivation but has severe limita-" tions for usetxfor grazing or forestry. It requires extreme care to prevent YESTERDAY . . . TODAY (Continued from page 7.) At the end of 1940 the Maiers had made 40 bushels of barley to the acre (half of the corn land would now grow barley), 20 bushels of wheat, 45 bushels of corn and 1 1/2 tons of hay per acre. The fertilizer and lime program hadn’t changed since *1934, thus the major portion of these increased yields could be attributed to only one factor—the strip cropping had kept the rainfall and what fertilizer and lime that had been used in place where the crops could use them. The soil was staying put and it looked ilke the Maiers would too. In the spring of 1941, I was called into the army. I got back to Botetourt in the fall of 1945 and one of my first farm visits was to the Maier’s. Mrs. Maier had died; Dorothy and erosion of it may be wet and require a complete drainage system for use as pasture. Class VIII land is suited only for wildlife, recreational, or watershed purposes. It is extremely rough, stony, or swampy. Mary were both married. Mr. Maier was more aged but still had an eye full of life and focused on the future. Bernard was right there the same as ever. From seven head of cattle and a pair of mules which the farm was supporting in 1936, there were eight more cows and a horse by 1940. By 1945 the cow numbers had increased to 23 and there was a flock of 28 ewes, one mule had died, the mare had been sold, one mule remained to do the garden work. In ten years time that’s not long when we are thinking terms of farming, the animal units had increased from eight to 28! Buildings were painted. Mrs. Maier had made* many improvements in the home and yard to make life more abundant. 'y The first pasture improvement had begun in 1937 and thus one sevenacre field sold the Maiers! By the fall of 1945, the crops grown, and they were doing well, were pasture and hay. Where they had gotten the four bushel barley yield in 1937 there# was as good a stand of alfalfa as you ever saw. A trench silo had been installed but the most unique and unexpected change was that'two new springs had started flowing abundantly. That thirty acres of crop land was on the top and one side of a large hill. On one slope was where the locusts were planted, on the back slope the pine and some Kudzu were now thriving; the third slope was that seven-acre pasture and the fourth was where the strip cropping had been originally established and was now in hay. Below the crop land and below the pine was where the springs were. . . that on the cropland side was cased in. . . not for a home water supply, for that was already provided for, but instead a water supply piped and flowing by gravity to the cow barn, from there to the brooder and hen houses and on to the pig penl It is far better to have water flowing out of a hill than it is down it for I believe that is the way God intended it to be . . . certainly not/ flowing down hill carrying life-giving soil with it. V Now determination and the will to do were not all the qualitities the Maiers had, nor was hardship all they had to endure. In addition they were ridiculed no end by their neighbors for “such d—n fool notions as fanning in ribbon patches.” “If you can’t do no better a farmin’ than that get out” Farmers even sneaked onto the hill the back way to see what “Crazy Maier” was adoin’l Well “Crazy Maier” made it much ^easier for me tq get the Natural Bridge Soil Conservation District started, which has helped Botetourt County just as has the Culpeper District (formed about the same time) helped the Rappahannock farmers who were once “crazy Maiers” but now are recognized instead as sage men on the land. “Crazy Maier” and farmers like him have made it unnecessary for the man with a plan on the land to be ridiculed. Yes, sir, folks, get a soil conservation plan, put it on the land, tie the two securely to a sound over all farm management plan. You, and each of us, will prosper the more, each of us living now as well as those to come by 1975 or the twenty hundreds, but remember, as Edwin G. Nourse says, “The Nineteen Fifties Come First.” GET ITO THE BOMB ? Uranium is not enough. Preparing it for the A-bomb takes vast quantities of electricity. So does all the huge production for Defense. Also, homes, farms and businesses are using twice as much electricity as before World War II. Will the electric companies develop enough power? The answer is YESI New plants double U. S. power. The map pinpoints the new electric power plants and plant additions built by the nation's electric companies just since World War II. They give each American twice as much electricity as he had then. In spite of this, the people pushing for socialized electricity still talk “power shortages” as an excuse for getting government deeper into the electric business, y v - As much electric power as Detroit uses will be needed by one A-bomb factory npw nearing completion. Another new A-bomb project will use twice that much. For each of these, electric light and power companies are planning or building a giant power plant — without one cent of your tax money l Battlefield in the struggle against socialism. On the Niagara River, five local electric companies are ready to build a big new plant to develop additional electric power. Put the job is being held up by those who want government to build the plant — even though that would take longer and cost Americans $350 million in taxes. Similar delays hold up new power at Hell’s Canyon, Idaho, Roanoke Rapids, N. C., and Kings River, Calif. America's electric companies can provide this power — without tax money and without the threat of socialism. These facts are heartening proof that the experience and sound business management of the country's hur * ' fV-rAr companies are ready and able to meet the nation’s biggest power needs. • "MKT CORLISS ARCHER"- A»C-Fridayt-9i30 F.M., Bottom Tim* NORTHERN VIRGINIA POWER COMPANY I

Yesterday ..Today (Continued from page 7.) tinues downward or increases, these extra mpuths must be fed. While many of our farmers are increasing production per acre there is still far, far too much land decreasing in productivity, too much being kept productive at too costly a rate because of soil and water losses. In short the problem, and it is a problem that seriously affects us all individually, is primarily one of land use. That is why you hear so much today about farm plans- A soil and water conservation plan is primary. . get a plan of this sort worked out by technicians of the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, then put it into operation with an overall farm management plan designed to meet your own needs and wants. SHOCK-PROOF WATCHES It pays to own a WAKMANN Watch, since they are incabloc shock-protected and antimagnetic. They are so satisfactory, they will be kept in order for one year at no cost to the owner. The balance staff is the most expensive part of a watch that usually breaks from a fall or lick and this in a Wakmann watch is guaranteed without time limit and will be replaced by the makers without charge. This applies not only to waterproof and self-winding watches, but to ladies’ arid men’s dress watches as well. Just think of the saving to you with a Wakmann Watch. Come in and let us show them to you. f C. R0¥ JONES JEWELER Culpeper, Virginia All too frequently I have had farmers tell me that these soil conservation plans are too expensive to follow and I realize what may be within easy reach of one man may take another twice as long to get into operation. “My answer is to get a plan and then modify it to suit your own situation, at least get as much of the plan on the land as you can whether it takes, 3, 5, 8, or even ten years. (At this point I shall relate a story of a farmer and his land both before and after a plan was adopted.) I refer to C. A. Maier and his farm in Botetourt County, where I was agent before coming to Rappahannock. It started in the early spring of 1936, just after I had been made County Agent of that county. Mr. Maier tricked me into visiting his farm by asking me to come for the purpose of showing him how to vaccinate cajves when the real problem, which he admitted before I even got out of the car, was MAKING A LIVING on worn out soils derived primarily from shale and sandstone, two of the poorest parent materials of any soils in that area! At this time the Maiers had been on the land (130 acres) for two or three years. Mr. Maier had put most of his life’s saving from employment as apprentice instructor at a Pennsylvania Railroad shop into the farm. He had been forced to retire a bit earlier than usual as the result of a head injury. The extra money had about run out and his pension was too small to live on as they wished. An abandoned tomato cannery £tood near by; it told as sad a story as did the Maier farm which had been gutted by the planting on steep hillside of tomatoes for the factory year after year in a rotation of tomatoes followed by abandoned land followed by more and deeper gullies. I have never felt weaker in the stomach in my entire life than I did after walking over that farm with Mr. Maier and his son, Bernard. There was one gully after another and where there were no gullies sheet erosion had taken everything in the w'ay of top soil. Wheat stubble was spindlng in a sparse stand of hay for the coming year. Now and then a corn stubble the diameter of a lead pencil could be seen among the wheat. THE EDUCATION OF A PHARMACIST The Druggist Is Required To Know PRESCRIPTION HANDLING Every prescription is handled as an individual problem, as individual as your thumb-print. The druggist learns the value of individual prescribing for individual ailments and he uses every resource at his command to see that your prescription is filled accurately and speedily. After it has been filled it is numbered and dated and kept on file for a period of years. Prescriptions are pretty important things and as such they deserve “important treatment.” Your Druggist Is Trained To Serve Your Health Needs PHARMACY DIAL 8322 CULPEPER, VA. PRESCRIPTIONS ACCURATELY COMPOUNDED The Maiers had impresed me without question as men with determination and wills to do. How should I answer them ? My reply was, "Can you get by for a five year period? It will take about that long before this farm can pay.” A sickening silence followed'. Father and son let their e^es drift over the landscape, at the home, than at each other. Then Mr. Maier spoke, “How about it, Bernard?” Bernard smiled and replied, “If you can, Dad, I can too; let’s try.” They tried and succeeded. There was no such thirtg as a Soil Conservation District in those days yet we decided contour cropping should be the first step. A three year rotation of corn, small grain, and hay was chosen with approximately 10 acres in each. We got the corn in on the contour that year. Maier’s yield was only 18 bushels per acre, all nubbins. That fall we selected the best two acres to put in barley hoping we could eventually come to a rotation of barley, wheat and hav, doing away with the corn. Maier seeded 4 bushels of barley on the two acres and got back eight, only a two bushtfT yield per bushel of seed used! Wheat was turning out at the rate of 12 bushels per acre, hay at 1/2 to % ton per acre. Sand stone rock was playing havoc with already worn out equipment. Bernard, Mrs. Maier, Dorothy and Mary picked up and piled rocks from sun-up ‘til sun-down. Mr. Maier helped during the cool of the day as his head injury prevented his staying out in-the hot sun. The rocks were used to fill gullies and build a brooder house, a laying house with wash room beneath, a cellar with meat house above. By this time (1938) the strip cropping was established. Water was no longer running down the hills making gullies deeper; instead gullies and galls were healing over and were beginning to produce some; water was being kept in place. All this while as far as Maier could possibly go on lime and fertilizer was a ton and 200 pounds phosphate per acre. Lime was applied first and phosphate next. Manure from the seven cows and two mules was hauled directly from the barn to the crop field. Two and a half acres were J. E.

Nicholas, Instructor The Fourth Annual Four-County Agricultural Fair will go into full swing on Saturday morning, October 11, 1952. In previous years the fair has been held at the Ferris Farm Race Track.

This Fair is sponsored by the Agricultural Department of Carver Regional High School. Its purpose is to stimulate and promote better farming in the realm of the four counties (Culpeper, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock). The services of such competent judges as Mr. J. S. Settle, head Animal Husbandry Department, and Mr. M. T. Carter, head~A£rieultural Economics Department of Va. State College, have been secured. It is only through the liberal support of our advertisers, and through the enduring efforts of the Regional Advisory Council that we are able to make this event possible.
