Lyne, County Agent .Announcement of the FederalState Drought Emergency Hay Program has been received as follows: “THE RAILROAD RATE REDUCTION—The railroads have agreed to reduce by 50% the freight rate on hay shipped from out of state into drought designated counties of Virginia as a result of the drought.” Rappahannock farmers are eligible. As of November 6, this reduction applies only on carload lots of hay. • In most cases, it applies only on cars leaving shipping points on bills of lading dated November 7 through November 16, inclusive. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR RAIL ROAD RATE REDUCTIONS— Any farmer who needs hay and will use it in a drought designated county is eligible for the rail road rate reduction. Farmers who are declared eligible for the U.S.D.A. freight allowance by their County Emergnecy Drought Committee are eligible for the railroad freight reduction too. Farmers who are eligible for the U. S. D. A. freight allowance hut., who produce livestock or conduct livestock feeding operations are also eligible for the railroad freight reduction, provided they use the hay in a drought designated area and do not resell it. HOW THE REDUCTION f WORKS—Cars will be shipped at full freight rate. When he pays his freight bill, the dealer to whom the car is consigned will present la special railroad certificate signed by the^cuunty agent. ‘ . ' This certificate entitles die- dealer to half rate on hay coming into a drought designated area ahd sold to farmers eligible for the railroads rate reduction.I". RAILROAD RH® REDUCTION' ; AND U. S. D. A. FREIGHT* ALLOWANCE—Under the FederalState agreement setting up the Drought Emergency Hay Program the amount of the U. S. D.

%'y'' I 4 i I NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY HORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia' ’ li t * <V' l DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE...Publisher Entered as second-class myil matter a? th* post office at Washington. Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year Critical Contrast I recently had occasion to visit both the Flint Hill and the Sperryville Elementary Schools. One, with a spacy downstairs auditorium aforded abundant room and convenient exits for the school children; the other contrasted sharply with a small upstairs auditorium, doubling in the day as a class room as well as general activity room.. The two exits lead to steep stairs ascending into a cubbyhole hall and hence to the front hall leading out&de. As I decended the stairs, slowly, due to the pressing crowd, and came to a halt in the hall into which both streams of traffic empty, the horror of the situation struck me. Double this crowd by two, add the excitement of frightened children and you picture the havoc a fire would reap under these conditions. I neither reprove Flint Hill school. nor do I praise Sperryville school. I merely remind the citizens of Rappahannock County of ^—danger everpresent in their midst. It is the responsibility of we who are older to protect these, our youths.

We Salute You Only recently has construction on the Amissville Fire House been com* pleted and already it has become a meeting place for civic groups in that area, as well as for the firemen organization. Cooperation was the keynote in every cinderblock laid. Some helped with donations, more with manual labor. Little by little the building took shape with many hands, white and colored, masculind and feminine, molding its shape, until now it stands a credit to the community by whom it was created. We doff our hats to the Amissville community for this sturdy symbol of determination plus cooperation. ■.—.i ... . — . .

Much of the freedom that we have, and should hold dear, is due to our newspapers.

Dealer? must sign "Agreement to Participate in the , Federal-State Drought Emergency Hay Program” and be approved by the County Drought Relief Committee of which the county agent is a member. Local dealers who have had the program explained to them by the, county agent and who have been approved are: Culpeper F a r m e r s’ Cooperative, Southern - States Front Royal Cooperative, Oscar Beach Feed Service of Warrenton, Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative, Herbert Bryant Inc. of Warrenton, and Waters & Co. of Culpeper. These dealers are now ready to take orders from any Rappahannock farmer feeding livestock who are in need of hay. Farmers are urged to see one of the above dealers of their choice immediately in order that they may receive the benefits of the railroad reduced rates which will amount •to about an average reduction in hay price of about $8. It is felt the railroads may extend this reduction beyond the 16th of Nov if farmers indicate at once they will use the offer. Remember the dealer must .the tray which' must be rolling before the 17th. You do not have much time to ponder. The county agent’s office is now reaady to take applications for the Federal-State Drought Emergency hay from farmers who sineerely • consider themselves eligible.

f 't % In Amissville Increasingly favored as a meeting place for civic groups, the new Amissville firehall will be used by at least three this month. , The , Home Demonstration Gub Amissville Baptist Church and the. local Polio Chapter_have already arranged to use the firehouse for special affairs. “The Amissville Volunteer Fire Department is pleased that the firehouse is getting to be a popular meeting place - for local organizations,” said Thomas Tear, president of the VFD. “In this way we can serve the community in a double capacity” At a meeting last week, when firehouse use by groups other than thfc Ladies Auxiliary was discussed, sentiment favored unqualified use by civic and religious groups but was chary about others. It was felt that restrictions should be placed on use of the firehall by individuals or private organizations in order to safeguard the fire department’s reputation and the firehouse and its special equipment itself. A committee, headed by Col. J. N. Caperton, was appointed to study the subjects and recommend regulations for the entire membership to discuss and vote on at a future meeting. Other committees also were named at the meeting. The Finance committee will be chairmaned by Floyd Hitt who will be aided by Graham Hackley, Elmer Jenkins, Edward Tapp and A. J. Bailey. Captain Mitchell Green as chairman and Chief Charles Compton, Paul Smith, John Tapp and Leedy Pullen will comprise the Standing Kitchen committee, and the Enter See the new line of HOJA JEWELRY For ladiei and men Guarantee with every purchase Earring Seta Bracelets, Pina in Yellow and White Gold and Rhinestone Cuff Links and Tie Sets EXCLUSIVE DEALERS K M.

A special committee for the VFD turkey shoots, at which a shotgun will be given away, and which are scheduled for the first and t^ird Saturdays of this month, was also appointed. W. A. Laing, Jr., who is vice president of the department, will be in charge of the shoots. He will be helped by Carl Padgett, Manuel Pullen and A. C. Latham, Jr. All receipts are for fire department benefit. With only a little over $1,000 in the treasury, the department feels it i cannot afford a new firetruck costing anywhere from $10,000 to $12,000, even though its present fire engines sorely need replacement. . One of its engines is a condemned one acquired from the District of Columbia fire department for only $50, a wonderful machine in its day but now almost ready for museum display. The other is a light Ford chassis firetruck purchased from Round Hill for only $200 when that community got a better one. The fire department at Pocomoke City, Md., has offered the Amissville fire fighters a 1949 firetruck with only 3,000 miles use for $2,500 and the District of Columbia has another truck available for about $500. Both are being considered. Members are making a special trip to both cities Jo inspect them. Among smaller donations to the department was one for $25 anonymously, Treasurer Barron "announced at the meeting through— his deputy, Floyd Hitt. Selective Service News Major General Lewis B. Kershey, director of Selective Service, today announced the fourht series of Selective Service College qualification tests will be given on Thursday, November 19, 1953, and Thursday, April 22, 1954 at more than 900 testing centers. Approximately 483,000 students have already taken the test. Well over a half million students will have been tested by next spring. Students currently deferred on the basis of test scores or class standards number approximately 162,000. Students whose academic year will end in January 1954 have been urged to take the November test so they will have a test score on file at their local boards before the end of their academic year. Applicants for the tests will mail applications for the November 19, 1953 and April 22, 1954 administration to educational testing service in selfaddressed envelopes which will be given to relistrants by local boards. Bulletins of information concerning the test are also available at the local boards. Applications for the November 19, 1953 . tests must be postmarked no later than midnight Monday, November 2, 1953. Applications postmarked , after midnight of that date cannot be ^ accepted for that test. To be eligible to apply for the Selective Service tests the student must: (1) intend to request deferment as a student; (2) be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction; and (3) must not previous.Ay i The present criteria for consideration for deferment as an undergraduate student are either a satisfactory score (70) on the qualification test or specified rank among the male of the class (upper half of freshman class, upper two thirds of sophomore class, or upper three fourths of junior class). Students accepted for admission to / or in attendance at a graduate school prior to July 1, 1951 satisfy the criteria for consideration for deferment if their work is satisfactory, graduate students admitted orattending after July 1, 1951 must have ranked among the upper half of the male members of their senior class or make a score of 75 or better on the qualification test. Use o| tests by the Selective Service System, along with class standing, was originally* based on recommendations of the six scientific advisory committees appointed by Gen. \ Hershey in 1948. The committee’s re- * port, printed by Dr. M, H. Trytten, chairman, was made in the fall of Timber Demonstration . At Meadow Grove By IV, H. Lyne, County Agent “Leave 'em alone and let 'em grow* is not enough and can easily be costly In any average stand of trees there are some that have reached their maximum amount of growth, either because of agef a result of soil con* ditions, or simply due to over crowding. It’s sorta like growing pigs in a —pen—that—will—hold—a—dozen—fifty— pounds satisfactorily for a while but let these same pigs grow to one hundred and fifty pounds * each and something’s got to happen. in our larm wood lots, we can t enlarge the boundary, nor is there any practical way of transplanting a 30-foot tree six to eight inches in diameter in order to make more room. If we adopt the plan of “leaving ’em alone and let 'em grow” we will lose some merchantable timber that simply gets crowded by more ingerous trees and dies; we will allow the growth rate of the others to slow to a mere fractional of an inch in diameter; and too the more hardy weed trees may take over and ruin our chances of ever making any real profitable timber to market. Now who wouldn't like to have a nice stand of “forest pine” to sell? What lumber man wouldn’t like to be able to find a nice uniform growth of big, thickly populated “forest pine”? Mose of 'em are gone. . . . BUT at Meadow Grove there is a nice young stand of short leaf or Forest Pine. Lumbermen and pulpwood dealers have been after Wade. Massie to sell it. Thank goodness Mr. Massie didn’t do so. One day while in the vicinity of Meadow Grove looking for a lost 4-H heifer, my eyes fell upon .the tops of these pine and immediately I made a mental note to 'check more closely, at my first opportunity. Last summer our Extension Forester, A. Jo. Lyon stopped by so we grabbed Mr. Massie and off we took for Meadow Grove. The pine proved to be much nicer and more abundant than I expected. Mr. hfassie knew they were nice but didn’t know that pine that most local farmers called his pine were the short leaf yellow 'forest pine.’ A. B. got out bis increment borer mtd commenced to check growth rate showing us how it had slowed from an inch every eight years to an inch every twenty years. He pointed out trees that would have made a nice 2 x 4^or that would have fetched quick money as pulp wood but trees that were now dead. There were others which would soon follow as food for insects or just plain long fall and create a fire hazard. Yes, 1950. After a subcommittee had prepared general specifications for a suitable test of scholastic aptitude educational testing service, Princeton, New Jersey, was designed as the testing agency to carry out the construction of the test and its nation-wide administration. On the basis of competitive bidding, educational testing service, which has prepared and administered the prevxious three series of tests, has again been awarded the contract to prepare and supervise the forthcoming tests and to send each examinee’s score to Selective Service Local Boards. iS i_ , ■■■ __= idlSS RIBBLE and MR. MASSIE HONORED Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Massie III entertained at their home, Hampden Hall, Friday evening honoring Miss Beverley Ribble of White Post and James Massie, whose marriage will take place Saturday afternoon at four o'clock. sir, A. B. Lyon opened my eyes where I could see the trees as well as the forest and I’m sure Mr. Massie will admit the same. At one thirty o’clock this afternoon A. B. Lyon will conduct a timber stand improvement demonstration at Meadow Grove among these pine and you can bet your boots Mr. Massie and his help will be on hand to see and learn. what Mr. Lyon has to show. Indeed so, and he will welcome the presense-of any one else who might be interested in learning how to improve his own farm wood lots. Remember too that cold weather is almost upon us. When you go to the woods just to get fuel make every blow with the ax count. To learn which trees to take out—which to leave—come to Meadow Grove at 1:30 p.m. today. To get to these pine follow route 729 south from Ben Venue until you get to thej State Highway garage then turn wlSI^on route 622. The pine are in back of the Pentecostal Church.

ROY JONES JEWELER Davis Street Culpeper, Va. That the cost of medical care has risen, no one can deny. But the rise has not been out of proportion to the general advance in the cost of living. At the same time the quality of medical service has been immeasurably Improved:. Consider that today your physician has invested from eight to ten years and about ten thousand dollars in his education alone. He has no chance to earn until he is twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He must have an office in a good neighborhood, good equipment, a car, good clothes. ’ V ■ Pharmacy, too, has stepped up its standards. Almost . every state now requires four years of college and a year or two of practice before registration. All this adds up to better medical service for you. , LEWIS PHARMACY DIAL 8322 CULPEPER, VA.

M. A. NEWS Price support on Virginia’s short 1953 corn crop will be at a base rate of $1.76 per bushel, the Productionand Marketing Administration has announced. W. T. Powers, State Administrative Office for PMA, said that the rate reflects 90 per cent of the October 1, 1953 parity price for corn on a national level, adjusted to various areas. The rate of $1.76 in Virginia compares with a national average rate of $1.60 per bushel. To be eligible for support corn must grade No. 3 or better, except for moisture, or No. 4 solely ori test weight. There will be a premium of one-half cent per bushel for No. 2 corn and a premium of 1 cent per bushel for No. 1 corn. Powers said that price supports on corn will be effected through farm-storage and warehouse-storage loans and purchase agreements available through PMA county offices through February 1954. Loans will mature July 31, 1954 but it is customary in Virginia for PMA to commence accepting deliveries of loan corn at an earlier date since the hazards of infestation are enhanced in warm weather. According to the BAE October 1 crop report, Virginia farmers will harvest only 25,083,000 bushels of corn this fall, the smallest since 1930 and nearly 14,000,000 % bushels below normal.* r* 0-0 o County offices of the Production and Marketing Administration have just been issued a bulletin which tightens eligibility requirements under the Commodity Credit Corporation’s 1954 wheat price support program. County PMA Chairman Barksdale said that the bulletin gives official notice to wheat producers that the following conditions of eligibility will apply on the 1954 wheat crop which is being seeded this fall under strict acreage controls. (1) To obtain price support on 1954 crop wheat a farmer must comply with the 1954 wheat acreage allotment determined for his farm. (2) . No producer will be entitled to wheat price support even though he is within his wheat allotment, unless he complies with the 1954 acreage allotments for all other crops in which he has an intefest and for which 1954 acreage allotments will be established. (3) No producer will be eligible for price support on eligible wheat until he is entitled to receive a marketing card on all wheat farms in the county in which he has an interest. (4) The producer’s appliction for wheat price support must be accompanied by a statement that he has not or will not exceed the 1954 acreage allotment for any commodity on any farm on which wheat is offered for( price support.
