Beam, owner of Beam’s Attractions, coming nexl week to George Wood’s lot, is principal of Windber, Pa., high school during the winter, but from June through August he travels with his show. Mr. and Mrs. Beam travel with the show and the local sponsoring organization (in Rappahannock it’s the V.F.W.) furnishes ticket takers at the rides and shows. Mr. Beam started in this business 25 years ago. In trying to get carnivals for school activities, he found them often unsuitable, so he began ^buying rides and operating them himself. The show grew. His school serves as his base of operations. Each year the show; and he explains that it is not run like a carnival, plays first to the students before going on the road. His performers come from all over. One, Bobo, the clown, appeared on the Arthur Godfrey ice show with his skating rooster. Now Bobo and his trained animals play a large part in the side show. Bobo is only one of the 40 people who travel with the show through Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware doing one-week stands for civic organizations.

Lyne County Agent MtniiiiiMiiiiaiiiiiiiitiinmiiiiiiitntiiiiiuiitiiiiiiHiiituiMi We hcid^night as well face the fact that Ra^Mwinock Farmers are in a and that all indicasituation will bemoro^h^ods'^his winter. Most stures araHoles are dropbeing dug ticK> corn”^»5^5^ittle<^price! recovery r deMy duce possible^ on, remuch as :ompIetely out much of our rass, and not much of the livestock land is adapted else. Of course good soaking rains will do more good towards relieving the situation more than anything else however all of us must continue to try to help ourselves. The following suggestions are offered: CORN: Most upland corn is beyond recovery from the standpoint of making grain. Ensile it now. Step up its feeding value by using 80-100 pounds molasses as a preservative or if you have grain 150-250 pounds ground grain may be added. Should you not have a permanent type silo, suggestions for constructing a trench silo or one using' snow fencing are available from this office without charge and can be quickly constructed. •Emergency Hay or Ensilage: Sudan grass is the only crop which may be planted NOW with possibility of making feed before frost. At best seeding sudan is a gamble at this time of year, however, IF you can prepare seed bed and get it planted by not later than August 12 it could prove worth the gamble as an emergency hay or ensilage crop: Seed 20-35 lbs. of Common, Sweet and Tift variety per acre (a grain drill set at 2 pecks of wheat will seed about 2025 lbs.) Apply 600-800 Jbs. 10-10-10 or 9-9-9 or 5-10-T0 per acre. DO NOT GRAZE BEFORE 18” TALL AND DO NOT GRAZE, MAKE HAY NOR" ENSILAGE OF FROSTED SUDAN. IT WILL POISON LIVESTOCK IF FROST HAS HIT. EXTEND GRAZING by applying 400 lbs. of a 10-10-10 or 9-9-9 analysis fertilizer per acre now to orchard grass aftermath or by applying 200-250 lbs. of a 20% nitrogenous fertilizer. WINTER PASTURE: Seed a mixture of 3-4 bushels of small grains such as wheat, rye and barley or oats around 15-20th of August and apply 600-700 lbs. to the acre of 4-16-8 or 5-10-10 fertilizer at time of-seeding. Fifteen pounds of rye grass may be added if small grain mixture is reduced and depending upon prices. One acre of this pasture will produce 600 to 800 lbs of protein and provide grazing for 5 to 6 cows to the acre for 4 to 8 weeks. Farms whose pastures are extremely short may wish to seed two fields, one for late fall or early winter grazing and the other foe,.early spring grazing. It is suggested livestock be removed from such pastures daily after^getting their fill to prevent tramping down of forage. CLOSED SUNDAY Frand’s Kitchen will be closed Sunday, August 9. Mr. and Mrs. Eubank will be attending a family reunion in Limeton. Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Reynolds of Cleveland were guests last week of Dr. and Mrs, W. L. Wake.

Angus Farmers To Meet Rules and regulations governing our 1953 FEEDER CALF SALE will be discussed and decided upon at a meding of prospective consignors Friday night, August 7 at 8 o’clock in the county Court House.

Mr. Bruner is chief of the Hospitalization and Homes for Adults State Department of Welfare and Institutions. PMA Offers Loans On Farm-Stored Wheat As commercial grain storage warehouse and elevators rapidly filled this week with the current wheat crop, the Production and Marketing Administration announced that support loans will be made on wheat stored in suitable building on the farm. However, P. A Lewis, PMA State Chairman, cautioned producers that such on-fanftt storage space is sub— ject to approval of PMA before loans are disbursed. He also noted that a • farmer obtaining a farm storage loan is responsible for mantaining the quantity and grade of the wheat on which the loan was made. PMA has exhausted every possibility in trying to find commercial ware house space for storing this year’s wheat under Commodity Credit Corporation Loans, according to Lewis. The ten warehouses which have signed storage agreements with PMA have a total capacity of 1,006,000 bu. available for the storage of wheat under price support. Lewis said that this may be far short of the needed since considerably more wheat may go under loan than last year due to ‘the wide'difference between the support price and the market price. Virginia growers delivered to PMA about 960,000 bushels of 1952 wheat under loan. The current market price on wheat in Virginia ranges from $1.65 to $1.75 per bushel. The support level 4 on wheat, varying by counties, runs from $2.37 to, $2.41 per bushel for No. 1 grade. After deducting certain handling fees and grade discounts, growers can usually get loans averaging about $2.20 per bushel. With commercial storages full, wheat grower's - must choose between selling on the .*-■ market at a price below support level and storing wheat on the farm. Lewis4 urged farmers who have not yet disposed of their wheat to reexamine their on-farm storage facilities. Upon request, the PMA county office manager will have an inspection made of any farm building to determine its suitability for storing wheat. It is not required that the wheat storage space he located on ‘ the same farm operated?iby the wheat producer taking out the loan, the PMA chairman added. CCC . wheat loans are available through the PMA county office through January 31, 1954, and mature April 30, 1954. Loans may be called by PMA at any time prior to the maturity date if it is determined that the wheat is going out of condition. • LADIES SPONSOR SALE The Ladies of Trinity Episcopal Church will sponsor a combination Bake and White Elephant Sale, on Saturday, August 15 at the Court House beginning at 6 p.m. —Mrs. D.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 T LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE_— Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia • SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance)-$2.00 a year A Tribute •Since June 26, I have wondered if wc as citizens of Rappahannock County fully appreciate our county agemt, the office, what it has done for us, and what it will do for us, if we are eager for the assistance. The farmer alone is not the only person who may benefit from this source. As a teacher, I am most grateful for aid given to me recently. On Friday morning, June 26, Mr. Lively of Rockingham County, spoke to a Madison College Science Class of which I was a member. Following his talk on Soil Conservation, the class, was taken to different farms showing applied principles. Many questions as to types of soil came to my mind, but at that point there was no time for questions. A week-end trip home had been planned for that week end, so after class dismissal, I was on my way toward Rappahannock. I was alone arid my thoughts were flying with the car wheels - why - why - More and more questions* Therefore I went directly to Mr. Lyme’s office when I reached Washington, Va. Mr. Lyne was not in hut Miss Jenkins greeted me with “I •thought that you were in summer school.” I replied that I was very much in school, and while I was supposed to be taking a science class, I whs rapidly learning to become a beggar. "Do you ave any material on Soil Conservation?” Miss Jenkins laughingly pointed to two large monoliths asking if I could use them. Had she let me have them, 1 dare say she —would no longer lx the county agent’s secretary, for I later learned the effort and vast amount of work that is . put into making a monolith. While Miss Jenkins was searching for. the literature, 1 was observing what I learned later to be the “sock” boxes of soil—“good ole Rappahannock soil”—and some parent rock. As a result of this observation Miss Jenkins contacted Mr. Lyne by phone and I was allowed to take this to my class at Madison College; however, when I reached my house, I realized after reading the slips in each box that without further help from my county agent, I could do nothing for the class. That night was my only opportunity to be in town; therefore after dinner, iregrettingly and apologizing to Mr. Lyne for taking his time after a hot day, I asked for^ his help. Mr. Lyne was most gracious and if after two hours he was disturbed by my visit, I was not made aware of it. I have never had a more enjoyable nor a (more instructive evening. Not only were my questions answered, but illustrations, and applications of experience applied were given in a most interesting form of information. The contest of his assistance gave me an excellent report on soil conservation berofe the class on Monday morning. 1 expressed to the class my regret that it could not get the report from Mr. Lyne directly as I had; however, at the close of the report ithe instructors were very complimentary and numbers of the class, strangers to me, came to tell me how much they had enjoyed the report and to “sock” their fingers into the Rappahannock soil. These also expressed themselves as to how fortunate the county was to have a man whose heart was apparently in his work. Indeed, we are fortunate and I hope we realize this fact, not only is the farmer 'benefited but business and j professional citizens can acquire information and assistance if they will make use of their opportunity. * There is nothing more important than soil, and there must be knowledge concerning soil and soil types ^ in order to keep it with us and to get the best results from it. It is my hope that all may work with Mr. Lyne in his efforts to make Rappahannock a more profitable place in which to live, for in my opinion, ft is already the most -NMlNnMIlHIItlllllllllHINHIItlfftlNIIIIIItaiMIHIIIWIMiaM tt Time Hom Come,9 | the Walrus said • • • | Washington’s Fireman's Carnival furnished entertainment all right. The sidelights were more interesting than the events that met the eye. The two young men who operated the rat race were reduced to whispers hy the third night of the carnival.. They had screamed and yelled themselves hoarse—but, as one of the fellows said, “I’ll yell myself hoarse again for that much money for the firemen.” Skippy Giles had his eyes and heart set on taking home the grand prize at the bingo game. It was a boy to ride—and it had a zooming siren! Skippy practically drooled every time he saw it. When the carnival was over Saturday might, Skippy rode the toy right down the middle of the street! “He should have had it,” commented his father, “his mother has parked herself right there at the bingo toble every night.” There were many heart-warming scenes at the carnival To begin with, the crowds showed the fine spirit of helping out the firemen. Many people wouldn’t take their prizes when they won them. “Take it back,” they would say, “It’s for the fire company.” Several times during the evenings, people were heard to comment, “It’s a nice thing to have. It’s a good gettogether; folks are having a good time and they know that every penny they are spending is'"going to stay rij?ht at home with their own fire company.” ^ It was a friendly crowd. The local people were having a good time themselves; and they felt their responsibility of being host to visitors from other communities. The results are good. The firemen made some much-needed money; the rest of the town’s citizens are proud of the firemen for their hard work and for the success of the carnival; the spirit of cooperation shown on all sides is reward in itself. The firemen did not beg for a cent. They announced that they would welcome donations, but this announcement was made through the newspaper and not one soul was asked for anything. They did not beg from the merchants. Prizes and materials were bought. They went to the merchants telling them that they wanted to buy articles and that a percentage of reduction would be appreciated. Most of the merchants were so shocked at not being asked to give that they stood aghast—and then usually gave some extras after the buying was done. There were many surprises. The firemen had no idea that they could make over $25 just letting the children ride the fire truck. It had been supposed that the bingo game would make the most money for the firemen—but the top cash-collection weTit to the stand run by Wade Massie and Dick Miller; they proved that people enjoyed knocking down milk -bottles as much as playing any of the other games. This soon after the event, While •the firemen and the ladies of the auxiliary can remember how tired they were and how much work had to be done they will probably throw up their hands and 'say, “Never again!” but they don’t mean it. Gossip says they are going to have another carnival in the early fall. Miss Jo Ellen Worth and Buddy Moore, both students at Madison 1 College* sang at an Insurance Company banquet at the Hotel Roanoke, in Roanoke on Monday morning. Whild home over the week end, Miss Worth rendered a solo at morning services in the Trinity Episcopal Church. desirable place in which to establish a home. '• —A.- M.

J. Slaughter of Washington, Va., about 60 years ago, Albert Slaughter of Front Royal has found a hobby which has yielded some of the most professional appearing leather-work ^doneHby a hobbyist.—-—— In working on leather the pieces are held together in the sewing horse while being stitched.. All sewing is done with an awl and two needles on waxed thread. A sewing horse is a strange animal. It has four legs like most other horses. The neck of the - horse is actually a vise to hold pieces of leather together while stitching them by hand. The vise part is operated by pushing down on the lever under the right foot. Stitching is done by punching holes with an awl and sewing through the holes with two needles on opposite ends of the same thread. One needle is pushed through from each side of the leather. During the sewing operation, as demonstrated in the picture, the awl is held in the right hand. A beautiful sample of Albert Slaughter’s work is a pocketbook he made for his wife. The clasp and initials on the pocketbook are made from a piece of solid brass. Mr. Slaughter worked it out with a file and hacksaw. The pocketbook has a welded seam around —the front and is carefully stitched on the inside. Albert Slaughter attended school in Washington, Va. He is now employed by the American Viscose as a shift foreman in the power house. \ Washington News Notes C. M. Price and Miss Helen Elliott of Washington, D.
