Tapp, Virginia, as Local Forest Warden. Mr, Tapp will work under the* supervision of Raymond M. Johnson, chief Forest Warden of Rappahannock County in fire control work. Mr. Tapp will be furnished with a complete set of forest fire fighting tools by the Virginia Forest Service.

Contrary to public ideas, forest wardens are not salaried employees of the State. They are men .who ar€ interested in conservation of timber and helping Keep Virginia Green, They have the authority to mobilize man-power and fight forest fires in the State. They are paid by the State on an hourly basis while actually suppressing or investigating forest fires. Any forest fire discovered within the vicinity , of Mr. Tapp's residence should be promptly reported to him or to Mr. Johnson, Chief Forest Warden of your county. MRS.

Does 100 Bushel Corn Per Acre Pay? By W. H. Lyne County Agent In discussing corn production with Rappahannock farmers, several have told me, “What you say may be right however, I feel that if I use that much fertilizer and seed it will break me up. It will mean spending more money in fertilizer, seed, labqr in harvesting, etc., and I just don’t know whether it will pay me or not, or whether a smaller yield with these coast reduced will net me more." Frankly, I knew in principal I was right from the standpoint of economics and from the standpoint of soil and water conservation; however, I had not seen any comparative cost production figures and consequently couldn’t come back with any factual data. Praises be figures shown in the movie "Cash In On Corn” make me feel better about my preaching on producing 100 bushels of corn per acre. Incidentally the Agronomy and Soils brass of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and Agronomy Departments and Experiment Stations of several southern states helped make this movie produced by the National Fertilizer Institute. The present corn market is about $2 per bushel, however, the movie had a value $1.50. So lets use its figure the rest of the way. The 46 yield grossed $69 and netted the producer $24.42 per acre with a production cost of 96 3/4c per bushel The 100 bushel yield grossed $150 and netted $73.76 per acre with a production cost of 76 l/4c per bushel. The average com yield in Rappahannock County according to the 1950 census (1949 crop) was a shade under 44 bushels per acre. The average yield of the Rappahannock* contestants in the 100" Bushel Corn Contest was 95.7 bushels per acre. Thus arises the rather pertinent question: Why be satisfied with less? Steps that will help you produce 100 bus. of com per acre are: 1. Get a soil sample and have it analysed to determine fertilizer and lime needs. (This office will mail instructions on how to take, a sample properly. Bring the sample to the office for analysis for which there is no charge.) fs2, Plow when the soil is damp but when it will still crumble under slight pressure. 3. Prepare a good seed bed, disc, or harrow no more than you can get planted in the remainder of the day. 4. Drill or broadcast 400-600 lbs. fertilizer on the land and work it into me seed bed before planting. Apply an additional 200-300 lbs. in hands in the row at planting. Broadcast 50-80 lbs, nitrogen per acre and disc in before planting (on day soils) or apply when com is abotft knee high. 5. Plant an adapted variety such as: (Full Season) Yellow, US 262 or US 262A, White; Southern States 903W and Pioneer 510; (Medium Early) Yellow—VPI 645, US 505, Funks G136, US 13, or Pioneer 332; White—Indiana 750; (Early) Yellow Pioneer 303. (Silage) Yellow—US 262 or US 262A, US 578, N.C. 1032. 6. Plant enough: a stalk every 8"10” apart in the row, rows 42* wide. 7. Plant on Time: Around May 4May 10. Scierftists claim a reduction in yield of 1 bushel per acre for each day lost in getting com planted on time. 8. Control weeds: cultivate shallow, never 2-3” in depth. For chemical weed control the most effective time to spray is one week after planting. 9. Control Insects: Watch closdy for Japanese beetle population at pollination time. Pollination will take place in about, two days. There is little need to spray after pollination has taken place so examine the ears to see whether grains are forming. In most sections d the county it will probably be wise to make a tentative booking with your spray ‘ service agency ahead of silking and pollination. V Annual SperryyiUe Minstrel Set For Friday Night The annual Sperryville Minstrel, sponsored by the Susan Wood Missionary Society of Reynolds Memorial Baptist church, will be held in Sperryvilie School auditorium Friday night, March 27, at 8 o’clock. % Interlocutor Ned -Johnson will be oil hand to try to whip some law and order out of the following characters: Mushmouth — Rodes Brown.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING PjjgssSk At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia We Are flat We Eat (First prize essay in Sperryville School contest) Is there anyone on the face of the earth who isn't interested in his waistline or lifeline? What you eat, and how much you eat, determine the size of the first and the length of the latter. Every man's body is his very own house and, like other houses the body needs proper materials for building, repairs, and servicing. The food that one chooses to eat are those materials and on them much of one’s life and health depends. The foods the body needs are called the Basic Seven. The Basic Seven are grouped as follows: group one or milk, drink three or four glasses daily; group two or green and yellow vegetables, have two or more servings eachday; group three or fruits eat two servings daily one of which should be a citrus fruit or a tomato; group four or eggs, have three to five a week; group five or meat, cheese, fish, dried beans, and poultry - eat one or more servings per day; group - six or cereals and bread, have two or more servings every day; and group seven or butter, get two or more tablespoons daily. i o keep one s house in good repair get both protective and energy foods, the protective foods keep one alive and the energy foods keep one enjoying life. The protective foods are milk, vegetables, fruit's, eggs, meats, and cheese; and they include proteins, minerals and vitamins. The energy foods are starches, sugar, ‘and fats; they are delicious but, oh, so fattening! If one’s house turns out to be a trailer, the protective loods will be the brakes that keep one out of such troubles as bad colds or worse. The energy foods will be the gas that gives one the quick start, the power to go places, and the speed to get there fast. A last word to the wise and the foolish alike, “Eat the proper foods and keep your waistline, lengthen your lifeline, and have health and happiness for a byline.” Elsie Mae Jenkins 7th Grade—Sperryville School (Second prize winner in contest) Every kind of machine, whether it be a Model T, a Cadillac, or Miss America of 1953 must draw the power that runs it from some source outside itself.The human body has strength, and On STRASBURG ROAD FRONT ROYAL FRL-SAT., MARCH 27 - -28 RICHARD GREENE BORIS KARLOFF LON CHANEY ‘BLACK CASTLE” SUN.-MON., MARCH 29 - 80 GORDON MacRAE EDDIE BRACKEN “ABOUT FACE” TUESDAY, MARCH 8dL RUTH ROMAN^ Tightning Strike# Twice* WED.-THURS., APRIL 1.2 JOHNNY WEISMULLER —- i» — “JUNGLE MANHUNT* it moves and does work. Food is necessary to give strength to the body, it is needed to keep up the body heat, and without it the temperatures of the body would quickly fall to that of the air about it and this would be fatal to the cells. Food also furnishes material for the growth and repair of the cells. . The three classes of foods, are proteins, carbohydrates, which includes starches and sugars, and fats. Lean meats, eggs, milk, peas, beans, and all foods made from grains are rich in proteins. Potatoes, turnips, cabbage, bread, and grains are valuable mainly for their starch. Fruits, sweet potatoes, honey, molasses, and milk contain sugan Fats and oils we get in butter, lard,* fat meat, eggs, cheese, chocolate, nuts, olive oil, and mayonnaise. All three of these classes of foods give heat and strength to the body and the proteins furnish building and repair materials in addition. The minerals are used for physical development and for body regulators. Iron builds up the red blood cells which carry food and oxygen to all parts of the body. If one doesn’t want to become pale and puny, he should eat some of the following foods each day: the green and leafy vegetables, the outer portion of grains. Calcium builds bones and teeth, and it helps the heart, nerves, and muscles to do their work properly. To prevent Becoming a bow legged and toothless human being, one should get plenty of Milk (note the capital M), eggs, leafy vegetables and whole grain breakfast foods. Phosphorus is needed for strong bones and teeth so, while still young, eat the yolk of eggs, the outer layer of grams, peas, beans, chocolate, nuts, and meat Iodine helps the. thyroid gland to worl^ properly, and sea foods and iodized salt are good sources of iodine.

The suggestion was good, nil right, hut the ladies began to howl: “No, indeed, you can’t do that!” Now, what we want to know is: do the ladies object to having their jokes recorded, or are the jokes not the . kind to be told in a minstrel? f 0 0 9 “Have you done your Easter shopping?"___ 1 “That’s no question g man," came the reply. “Mamma gets her new spring outfit for church Easter morning. U there’s any money left over, the kids get some spring finery. If there’s any money left then, I try to get some fertilizer, seed, and spraying materials. Then, I know there won’t be any left over; so ole’ Pa just 1 dusts off last year’s suit and goes ahead.” o o o Jock Brown is getting ready to qualify as one of the world’s meanest men. That scoundrel has turned loose several pairs of New Mexico jack-rabbits in the county. Che fox hounds are so be-fuddled they can’t tell what to do.,. The animals look like rabbits, according to hounds, and yet the » long - eared long - legged rascals can out-run ' and out-jump anything the local hounds have ever seen. Down near Boston the other day, a fellow’s hounds jumped the scent of one' of the jack-rabbits. For all we know, they may still he running him! That jack-rabbit will run into a corner and then turn straight around and run back through the pack of hounds, leaving them a hundred yards behind before they get turned around! There is some speculation as to what’s going to happen the first time the pink-coated boys get out and the hounds take after one of those “john-rabbits.” We’ve heard some stories of the hounds chasing a deer; of course, the, deer heads straight for deep water, and the hounds get back home ten days later after a trip to the Shenandoah river. Jock Brown says he had a perfectly good reason tor turning those jack-rabbits loose. Accord* ing to his story, his phenomenal beagles were not being kept in trim by the local rabbits, hi fact (and again, please note, I quote Mr. Brown) it waa no sport for his beagles; they are such superior beagle hounds that the ordinary rabbit won’t even give them setting-up exercises; hence, Jock was forced to import 20-foot-vaulting New Mexico jack-rabbits. Lost something? Don’t let it worry you. It will probably be found in 4953 and the scientists of the day will hare a holiday and speculate on your loss. A National Geographic Society expedition in the Mediterranean Sea off the southern coast of -France has discovered and is now raising a cargo ship. Archeologists have dated the sinking as around 230 B.C., and code letters told that the boat and cargo were owned by one Marcus Sestius. Records survive showing that he was a Roman who was naturalize «d a Greek citizen in the year 240 B.C., and he made his headquarters on the Greek island of Delos. Among the cargo were pottery vessels. Some, still corked, contained wine more than 2,100 years old. A member of the salvaging expedition tasted the wine and pronounced it “awful.” <2.30 - PINT VIRGINIA PRINT BRANDY DISt/cO lATONTOWM. N. J. • NOUMDMM* VA ' Washington D. C. As Viewed By Your Senator, ' A. Wilis Robertson farm surplus problem MAY BE TEMPORARY ONE Representatives of farm states are concerned over what may be unmanageable crop surpluses by the end of the current year and last ‘week several Senators introduced a bill to authorize the Commodity Credit ■Corporation to engage in direct or indirect barter transactions with foreign nations in need of our farm products. Measures of this general type have been considered off and on since the McNary-Haugen proposal of the early depression years but no practical plan has been devised to avoid the charge of “dumping,” or to'keep the obst of the program within reasonable limits. One thing is certain, however, A rigid 90 percent of parity support program for another two years will he expensive and does not solve the problem of surplus disposal. The Secretary of Agriculutre has indicated that accumulation of surplusses far beyond visible markets would require imposition of rigid production controls. That type of control is distasteful to all farmers and might likewise result in driving out of agriculture many who before long may be urgently needed to produce adequate food for 'our own use.

ROBERTSON— XfContinued from page 8) me recently that the population of the United States is now increasing at a rate greater than that of India and that we will have 30 million more people in the foreseeable future. He feels that the time will come'when our problem will not be surplus food or clothing but producing enough to meet our needs. The answer, he feels, and I agree With him, lies not in federal regulation and restrictions on production but in finding useful outlets for our products now and continuing to develop improved methods of crop production. The decision to take up the Tidelands Oil question ahead of State; hood for Hawaii will give those of us who feel there is a real danger in the Hawaiian proposal an opportunity to present to the nation the seriousness of tfcf precedent to be established. Last week I mentioned some of the issues involved in a brief speech in which I challenged the unfair and unjustified charge in a New York Times editorial that Southerners were opposing Hawaiian Statehood merely because we didn’t want two more Senate votes which we thought would be cast against so-called Civil Rights legislation. The Capital of Hawaii is 2,500 tmiles from San Francisco and some of the islands to be included in the proposed state are 1,000 miles from Honolulu. Yet, Hawaii claims aH, the waters of that area are territorial and under the jurisdiction of fhe Hawaiian government. The islands have a population of 400,000 citizens about 16.5 percent of whom are of the white race. A large majority of the remainder are of oriental orign and have never been to the United States and never will come here, yet they would have j the voting strength to control all elections. The Senate Judiciary Committee will also consider testimony on the extent to which Communism has infiltrated these islands. We are deeply concerned about disturbing the balance in our system of representative government by giving this small and isolated group of people legislative power equal to that of our largest states and we also fear the effect on other nations if we abandon the principle of the Monroe Doctrine by moving our national boundary 3,000 miles across the Pacific Oceaa I expect to discuss these and other issues involved in more detail when the Statehood bill, which already has passed the House, is taken up in the Seafcte., Week-end guests of Mr. end Mr*.
