H. Lyno County Agent .....mmmmmmm.mull Orchard seed is estimated in Virginia to be 29 per cent smaller in 1953 than a year ago and is the smallest crop since 1948. Nationwide this year’s production is smallest in five years. Carryover of orchardgrass seed on farms is estimated to be at 264,000 pounds, compared to 110,000 pounds in 1952 and the 10-year aver-< age of 177,900 pounds. Stocks of this seed and other field seeds and other field seeds carried over by dealers' will be given in a report on August by the Virginia Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. ♦ * ♦ Application of 300 lbs. 10-10-10* analysis fertilizer now when vegitation is dry will do wonders towards! increasing fall grazing when applied to orchard grass aftermath. In view of current pasture shortage farmers should find this practice highly profitable and an insurance against digging into winter feed supplies. * * * The smart home owner will lay off mowing the lawn at this time. Ini the first place its just too d—d hot for such a job and you’ll be damaging your stand of lawn grasses and legumes News From The Public Welfare Department If aft the people over sixty-five in Rappahannock County gathered in one place, and those receiving Social Security payments were asked to stand, three .times as many would rise as would if the same question were asked for Old Age Assistance recipients This is true throughout Virginia according to Mrs. M. Elizabeth Buntin, Superintendent of the Rappahannock County Department of Public Welfare. Social Security benefits, she said, are paid from payroll deductions, while Old Age Assistance is paid from local, State and Federal appropriations. This wouldn’t happen in any other Southern state except Florida. Irt some Southern states, there are almost five times as many Old Age Assistance cases as there are people with Social Security retirement benefits, the Superintendent said. In the past two years, more and more old people have been a^Ie to betire on Social Security benefits, because of extended coverage in recent amendments to the Federal Law, the Suprintendent pointed out. This is one factor in the decline in the number of old people receiving Old Ag^ Assistance in Virginia. In the past two years, the number throughout the state has dropped eleven per cent. In Rappahannock County, Mrs. Buntin said, there were 64 Old Age Assistance cases in December 1951, and 48 in June 1953. These figures, found in a recent report from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, show that almost one out of every four persons over sixty-five in Virginia receive Social Security benefits, while one out of thirteen depend on Old Age Assistance. In the nation as a whole, the ratio is about two Old Age Assistance cases for three Social Security recipients. Rev. H. T. Louthan Rev. Henry ‘Thompson Louthan died at a hospital in Richmond, July-' 20. The Rev. Mr. Louthan was formerly a teacher at Washington High School, and about 40 years ago was pastor of Woodville and F. T.

The report discloses that “During the three year period ending June 30, 1952, the average collections of current taxes amounted to 94.75% of the average tax levy. After delinquent taxes collected during the same period have been taken into consideration, it may be observed that the average collection of l»oth current and delinquent taxes equaled 99.73% of the average tax levy.” The above record has been achieved at relatively little expense to Rappahannock. There are only two counties in the State in which the Treasurer’s office costs the taxpayers less to operate than does Rappahannock’s.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia -V-. II—-—4'iff ' t-3^- - ——-4t ? DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE_Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year Washington D. C. As Viewed By Yonr Senator, A. Willis Robertson PRESIDENTIAL LUNCHEON GUESTS GET MSA FACTS President Eisenhower was worried last week about the fate of his foreign, aid bill and invited members of the Senate Appropriations Committee to a White House luncheon at which hei and General Alfred M. ^Gruenther, Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, discussed mutual assistance problems. 1 came away agreeing with the remark of Senator Russell that the President “sets a good table.” I also agreed with the President and General Gruenther as to the importance to a free world of our MSA program. But I was equally convinced by the testimony of experts who testified before our Committee that, as I indicated in this column last week, a cut of one billion dollars below the amount authorized will not impair the effectiveness of this program. J was influenced particularly by testimony that it will be physically impossible for us ito actually deliver to our allies during the current fiscal year much more than five billion dollars of military supplies. There is an unexpended balance of ten billion dollars of MSA funds in addition to this year’s appropriation and even allowing for the need to let contracts long in advance, I felt there Would be no Shortage of essential funds as a result of the cut I advocated._:_ At our luncheon the Presdent apologized for bringing up a business matter on such an accasifen, saying this was the first time he had done so. He said he had no desire to put pressure on any member of the Senate but wanted us to hear General Gruenther explain the progress made in forming a NATO Army and the vital importance of that program as part of our effort to prevent another world war. General Gruenther said that while Russian land and air forces still had numerical superiority in Europe, the forces provided by the twelve nations which signed the Nato Treaty have developed to a point where they would not be a “pushover” if attacked. He also spoke of developments in, our favor including the almost unparalledel revolt of unarmed workers in East Germany, ithe purge of Beria in Russia and other evidences of domestoic trouble in Russia and her satellites. We were told that although thej Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURSDAY, JULY 23 CLIFTON WEBB — ill — “STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER” (In Technicolor) FRL-SAT., JULY 24 - 25 ROBERT MITCHUM ANN BLYTH — in — ‘ONE MINUTE TO ZERO’ SUN.-MON., JULY 26 - 27 OLIVIA de HAVILLAND RICHARD BURTON —in— “MY COUSIN RACHEL” TUES. - WED. - THURS. JULY 28-29-30 ROSALIND RUSSELL PAUL DOUGLAS “NEVER WAVE AT A WAC” logic of the situation was against Russia starting war in Europe this year, General Gruenther did not feet the Russian leaders had abandoned the Lenin-Stalin concept of world domination and he felt they would continue to try to cause disunity among the NATO nations and tq cause economic crises here and elsewhere by their cold war tactics. The President spoke of the vital need, in hte interests of our own future safety, for preventing Russia from gaining control of the skilled workers of Western Eu trope who outnumber the workers of the United States. He spoke also of the importance of having allies in Wester^ Europe who, in event of war, would be fighting to protect their own homelands. 1 he lunchcorr served us was really a dinner, starting with watermelon Halls seasoned with finely chopped mint and lime rickey, followed by broiled steak from a Texas steer, broccoli with sauce, baked tomatoes, hot rolls and a wonderful chopped lettuce salad which included a liberal amount of Roquefort cheese, sliced stuffed olives, orange cubes and seasonings. The dessert was peach shortcake on old-time biscuits with plenty of whipped cream followed by coffee and Havana cigars. Soil Saver Notes Over 100 farmers from Culpeper, Rappahannock, Orange, Madison and Greene Counties attended the irrigatiotion school lasct week held on the James A. Weaver Farm, Stevensburg. A41 phases of irrigation were discussed by specialists from the Soil Conservation Service and The Virginia Extension Servic.e Engineering design management, maintenance and water supply were discussed by the engineering specialists. Grass and legume mixtures, soil characteristics as they affect irrigation and fertilization of irrigated land were thoroughly aired by the agronomy and soil specialists. During the school which was held on the bank of Mountain Run under the shade of several Sycamore trees, James A Weaver was making rain on the pasture field just above. Thei water was being applied ait the rate of over 500 gallons per minute. Grass and legume pastures, alfalfa and corn have been irrigated this spring and summer on the Weaver Farm.

As you walk in the door, there parks a large sign bidding* you “SMILE!” Now, it’s been said that a tax-collector is about as popular as a skunk at a picnic, and maybe the local official is trying to make us like declaring our property so the bill can be turned over to the treasurer; I don’t know. o o o Wide-eyed with excitement, little Ernest stormed into the newspaper office: “It was two of ’em! an’ big ones, too!” “Whoa! slo’w up, young man,” I implored. “What was ‘two of ’em?” ' “Snakes, and one was cut up. It looked' awful!” “Now, Ernest, let’s get this tale straight. Where were the snakes? Who killed the one that was ‘all cut up’ and why so excited?” The jabbering continued, while Ernest’s eyes got bigger and bigger as his recitation went on: “You know that road man? Well, it was the road man that cuts people’s- fields’s snake, an’ he cut it all up. It sure was a mess!” The rest of the story will have to come later. At that time Ernest spied a man. “There he i^**8 shouted the young ’un, “He’s tne man that gave me a quarter to put in the juice box.” And Ernest’s departure was as hasty as his entrance. It will be difficult to report the story accurately. As near as I can figure it all out, some man in the county must work with the on such a warm day. Thirteen farm ponds in Culpeper and Rappahannock Counties were stocked with Large Mouth Black Bass last week. Construction on these ponds were completed last fall andf ea-rly this spring.

I would surmise, from the small boy’s excited story, that the mower ran into a snake and cut it tp pieces, presenting a gory spectacle. Whftie the other snake came from, or what happened to it must be left to the imagination. I rather enjoy Ernest’s way of expressing it, however. I’ve heard of “the man that drives the bus’s daughter,” and “the man that runs the hotel’s wife,” but Ernest put those in the shade! ‘The road man that cuts other people’s fields’s snake.” Now, there is a masterpiece! Few of us could attempt to handle the king’s English in that manner! • o o All the preparations had been made for her club tea that afternoon and the lady of the house decided to take a nap. When her friends did arrive, the madam was nonplussed, to say the least, at their behavior. Her guests simply walked in without ringing the doorbell, greeted her in hushed tones, and treated her with extreme caution. All of them, sitting silently and stiffly in their chairs, seemed ill at ease. Finally, the mystery was settled when one of the guests got up courage enough to ask her hostess About the note tacked to the front screen door. “The note!" shrieked the hostess, suddently remembering the warning she had written— and forgotten—to her teen-age boys to keep them from disturbing her napr! “The door is unlocked.

VANGUARD LADIES BILLFOLDS selling for $1.00 reduced to 79c HOME HAIR DRYER, no heat, no electricity $3.98 value for $3.19 production, was in operation for the one year 1950. Here is the reason for the referendum, as explained by P. A. Lewis, State Chairman of the Production and Marketing Administration, under whose direction the wheat vote will be conducted in Virginia. “The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938,. as amended, required the Secretary of Agriculture to proclaim” wheat marketing quotas on a crop when the total supply at the beginning of the procedihg marketing year exceeds the normal supply by more than 20 per cent,” Lewis said. On July 1, the beginning of the 1953 marketing year, there was 1,717,000,000 bushels of wheat already harvested or in prospect of being harvested. This is the largest supply in the Nation’s history. “The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates that a normal supply for this year would be 1,156,000,000. This means that our total supply of wheat exceeds our' normal supply by 48 per cent. Under such condition it is mandatory that the Secretary -call upon farmers to vote on the imposition production controls in the form of marketing quotas.” For quotas to be in effect, they must be approved by at least twothirds of the eligible growers voting in the referendum. Lewis explained that an eligible voter will be one who has a 1954 wheat acreage allotment' larger than 15 acres or a farmer who states that he intends to plant more than 15 acres of wheat for grain for 1954. Farmers who grew wheat in one of the past three years will receive an acreage allotment before the referendum date, as well as new farmers who grew no wheat the past three years but who applied for an allotment before June 30, 1953. If quotas are approved by at least two-thirds of the farmers voting in the referendum, acreage allotment will be in effect on all wheat seeded for grain. Each farmer must seed within his farm acreage allotment to be eligible for price support, which is guaranteed at 90% of parity. A farmer who does not comply with his acreage allotment is not eligible for price support, the PMA Chairman pointed out. He further noted that a fanner with a wheat acreage allotment larger than 15 acres is subject to a marketing quotas penalty on all wheat producted on acreage in excess of his farm acreage allotment. Other growers with less than 15 acres of wheat will also be subject to maria*ing quotas penalties. The penalty is at a rate equal to 45% of partly on the: excess production. Should wheat farmers reject marketing quotas for 1954, price support' would automatically drop from 90%-’ to 50% of parity for those growers: planting within their acreage allotments. Growers exceeding their acreage allotment would not be subjeot to marketing penalties, but would receiver no price supports.

Chapter of Rappahannock County High School, composed of 42 members, has completed its many and varied activities for this fiscal year. The year started in July of 1952 when six F.F.A. boys went to Smithfield. While there they won two honors, namely, softball champs and clean room winners. When school began in September seventeen green hands were initiated, and the dreaded initiation didn’t turn out so bad after all. Also in September the boys and the F. H. A. girls attended the Richmond Fair. One of the senior boys, Douglas Martin, was elected secretary of the Northern Triangle Federation Club. The Forestry Judging Team composed of Douglas Martin, Wilbert Pullen, Kelly Updike ancl Nelson Williams, proved to be very successful by placing second.
