Rappahannock News, January 21, 1954

VOLUME 5—NUMBER 11 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAR SOME OBSERVATIONS PRO CON The weather we have been having for the past few days should make the mail carriers feel better—not having to wade through the snow to get to the mail boxes. I wonder how mdny thought to clean a place in front of their mail box during the snow of last week, so the mailman could get to the box without having to get out of his car—how many realize that postal regulations state that a mailbox should be so situated that a mailman can reach it without leaving his car. o o o o Last week I read an article in a city paper stating why Ickes’ diary would be published—I think everyone knew the reason $ $ $ $. Plus trying to detract from the past Democratic administrations. o o o o , If the present proposal to build a $300,000 home for the VicePresident is approved, the American people will not have to buy a map of the world to keep up with his travelings. t o o o o Well, It looks like the Hawaiian statehood question will be shelved for the present. Hawaii has always had a Republican leaning and 2 additional Republican Senators in Congress would have, suited the ins. But when Alaska was included in the bill with her 2 Democratic Senators, that was a horse of another color so I predict that the bill for. Statehood of Hawaii and Alaska will be forgot for the present. o o o o The fund raising campaign the local Rescue Squad has started is proving a success, according to members of the squad. To date $70 has been contributed by the citizens of the eounty, with promises of more forthcoming. The money contributed is to^be used to purchase equipment for the Rescue Car which will be on call after next week for emergency calls anywhere in the county. If . you wish to make a contribution to this worthy cause mail your check to C. T. Bruce, treasurer, Washington, Va. And remember ALL of this money stays in Rappahannock to work for you and your family. oooo What would we do without the P.-T. A’s. in the county? The one in Flint Hill seei to it that all fire extinguishers in the school there are filled and in proper working order. I understand they are trying to get the doors in the school repaired so that they can be opened quickly in case of an emergency. More Power To Them! Rabid Dog In County Gene Autry Hitt of Woodville was on the trail of a red fox while hunting the morning of Janury 6, when he noticed one of his dogs acting peculiarly. Thinking the antics were caused by a stick in the dog’s throat, Gene put his hands into the mouth of the dog attempting to find the trouble. Finding no stick and observing that the dog continued to behave in a peculiar manner, Gene took the matter to the local veterinarian, Dr. Wake. He was advised to keep the dog under observation, letting it die a natural death (if rabies were the cause). Immediately aftey the dog died, tests were taken and forwarded to the laboratory. The tests were positive and the boy, Gene, was given shots to prevent any infection that may have been prevelant due to sores on his arm which came in contact with the dog's saliva. UMIfiailiaCIIIIMflaMtMIMIMMIIIMMtlll RAPP - OH ATS By: W. H. Lyne County Agent Illffll Rappahannock farmers have been sent a sample copy of “Timely Tips For Farmers” which this office plans to assemble monthly and send throughout the year to those requesting it. These tips will be related to poultry, crops and pastures, livestock including dairy cows, and horticulture practices appreciable to the counties agriculture. Also we plan to include a schedule of coming events and list of new publications on agricultural research findings at our Experiment Station. All such matter going out from your county agent’s office under the franking privilidges must be by request so be sure to mail in your card enclosed with the January issue along with any suggestions you care to make. At present I’m encouraged by requests that have come in so quickly from R. V. Snead, Mrs. C. R. Hite, G. M. Black, Robert L.Brown. As resylt of inquires from local sheepmen your county agent is making studies of the pro and con pos^ sibilities of organized Spring Lamb Sales. Included is a survey report form which was sent to all sheep owners on our list asking for a report in their flock size, lamb marketing methods followed last year, management practices being followed etc. This is felt to be necessary to learn “where we are” which we must certainly know before we can make any intelligent plans in “where we are going.” Very interesting and pertinent replies to inquiries regarding the proposed sales have been received from the National Association of Food Chains, Swift and Company, Armour and the renowned sheep authority, George W. Litton, head of the Animal Husbandry Department of VPI. Upon completion of the survey which is also being conducted in Warren County meetings will be called to report on findings and decide on rules and regulations governing the sale should such findings prove possible. We have learned that marketing methods similar to our tentative plans have proven very satisfactory in North Carolina, Ohio and especially in Kentucky around Paris, Winchester and Lexington. Local producers who have indicated interest to date are: S. H. Martin, James F. Massie, Arthur Woodward, Mrs. M. L. Cheatham, Chas, Mills, James E. Yates, Mason Wharton, Earl Putnam, John R. DeBergh, Flora K. Jones, H. L. Manwaring, John H. Williams. A. H. Buckner, III, W. A. Miller, Glen Updike, Kelly Updike, Randall Updike, Lewis Farm, and Castleton Farm representing a total of 814 ewes. Please send in your flock report if you are not among those listed above.

Williams, executive director of the Life Insurers Conference, Richmond, Va., a native of Rappahannock County, who ocntered the insurance business by way of the casualty route with one of the country's great companies—The Travelers—is the recipient of The Insurance Field’s 1953 award of Man-of-TheYear in Life Insurance. Announcement of the award was made Dec. 31 by The Field’s editor and publisher, Fred C. Crowell, Jr. Martin Braxton Williams, son of a Methodist minister, at the age of 40 thus becomes the youngest man to * receive this industry honor in the 12-year history of the award. Always a leader, Martin Williams was president of his high school graduating class; worked his way through Duke University and was a Rhodes Scholar candidate. His college yearbook, of which he was editor, was picked for All American lating. * He was the youngest president o! the Richmond Association of Insurance Agents and during his administration that organization won the.coveted Bernard Carter Trophy for outstanding contribution to the insurance business in Virginia. His civic activities in the city of Richmond are too numerous to mention. He was elected president of the Richmond Junior Chamber of Commerce three months after becoming a member. He was catapulted to the presidency of the Virginia State Jr. Chamber of Commerce. He is currently president of the Richmond Chapter of the American Heart Association and is president of the Current Affairs Club of Richmond. For three years he has served as Santa Gaus for Richmond’s crippled children, a local Kiwanis project. And at the recent meeting of the executive committee of LIC in New York he was made a Kentucky Colonel. Of Martin Williams, The Insurance Field said editorially in 1951; “It is safe to assert that no organization in the life insurance business has as spectacular a record of progress, development arid growth during the past five years . . . and it has become increasingly clear t oall that one man has been primarily responsible for this enviable record. He is LICs very capable and personable executive director, Martin B. Williams.” Mrs. Grace Williams Mrs. Grace Hart Williams, 77, wife of^the late Joseph B.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) _$2.00 a yfear More Gamma Globulin Plans for tripling the amount of gamma globulin available to the public for fighting polio in 1954 are being pushed by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis “despite the encouragement of recent vaccine developments,’' it was announced today by Raymond H. Barrows, executive director. “No vaccine can be made available to the general public until, its effectiveness has been proven ip trials we will begin next February,” Mr. Barrows said. “The results of the trials will not be known until after the 1954 polio season. “This means that gamtna globulin, the human blood derivative that provides a degree of temporary protection against paralytic polio, is our only present weapon against infantile paralysis.” Mr. Barrows said the National Foundation would turn over 15,000,000 ccs. of GG to the Office of Defense Mobilization for use next year at a cost of $79,000,000 in March of Dimes funds. In 1953, he added, the National Foundation appropriated $5,500,000 for 5,000,000 ccs. of GG, blood fractionating equipment and needles and other supplies used in mass GG inoculations. “Thus in the two-year period, 19531954,” Mr. Barrows said, “the National Foundation will have allocated $24,500,000 for 20,000,000 ccs. of gamma globulin and attendant expenses." The effectiveness of GG against polio was first established by National Foundation research tests in 1951 and 1952. It was actually used in combating polio for the first time this year. Becausfe of its scarcity, all allocations of GG in 1953 were placed under the control of the ODM. The ODM apportioned GG for household contacts of diagnosed polio cases and for mass injections of 235,000 children in 22 epidemic areas. Final results on GG’s performance t in 1953 have not yet been completed, but preliminary reports from health officers who used it for. mass inoculations have been encouraging.

As , Viewed By Your Senator, A. Willis Robertson LABOR AND FARM LAW CHANGES PROPOSED Because of the speed with whjch President Eisenhower has been sending special messages to the Congress, supplementing his general “State of the Union” adress, it has been impossible to give any one of them detailed study. On Monday of last week we received messages on labor and farm legislation; Thursday there was a message on social security and this week started off with the lengthy and vital budget message, containing the President’s recommendations for spending during the fiscal year which starts next July. Most members of Congress are reserving opinions on a majority of the President’s recommendations until the Committees to which they have been referred have had time to study them and tQ hear witnesses, but the situation this year, with Committees going to work at once on important legislation, is in happy contrast with last year when we marked time for several months because the majority leadership was waiting for recommendations from the Executive Department. As was to be expected, the President's proposals for amendment of the Taft-Hartly Act did not please either those labor leaders who have insisted it is a “sl^ve labor”- law which ought to be repealed or the business leaders who have argued that it needs strengthing to preserve a reasonable balance of power between labor and management. It is obvious that there must be lengthy hearings and much debate before any significant changes in this law can be made. Labor is particularly dubious about the proposal for the Government to conduct secret votes to determine whether strikers want to remain on strike and management is doubtful about the effect of proposals to relax restrictions on secondary boycotts. One feature of the message which, at first glance, appealed to me was the suggestion that neither party to a valid contract shall be reqtired to negotiate during the term of that contract unless the contract so provides or the parties mutually consent.Labor and management both have a right to assume that when they have agreed to a contract they can relax and devote themselves to business until its term has run. I also agree, in principle at least, with the President’s suggestion that the la#' should make clear that it does not invade States’ rights by preventing States from dealing with emergencies endangering health or safety within their borders. •The Senate Agriculture Committee acted promptly on the President’s We enjoy helping "week-end carpenters’* and "fixeruppers”.

East Street Phone 9988 - CULPEPER recommendations for farm legislation by starting hearings this week with Secreatary of Agriculture Benson as the first witness called. But, here again, the road to agreement on specific changes in existing laws appeared to be a rocky one, with membres of the President’s own party immediately indicating their lack of agreement either with him or with each Other. When I addressed several farm groups in Virginia last Fall I pointed out that in spite •f all that has been done to allow fanners to obtain so-called “parity prices, their income level never has been as high as the average for the nation as a whole. Last year, for example, the 20 percent of our population which is directly dependent on agriculture, received only 6.3 percent of the total national income. Since the individual farmer has less control over the prices he receives than producers of most commodities, and the production of food and fibre is so essential to the natoinal health and security, it is a proper function of the Government to help stabilize farm prices—a type of help rendered industry by the Government through tariff laws for the past 125 years. The toughest problem, of course, is to balnce production among crops and to dispose of the surpluses which,, as I predicted last Fall, are reaching the point whre the President must ask for more money for the Commodity Credit Corporation to handle them under existing law. I have frequently suggested that we need to find a way to get our surpluses to that large proportion of the world’s population which goes to bed hungry every night and I was pleased, therefore, by the President’s promise to ask for adequate funds to strengthen the work of the Agriculture Department in developing markets at home and abroad and for legislation to reduce tariff barriers.

Outlook For 1954 fairly Good, But Some Problems What’s ahfad ? Gross farm income may decline next year, but net income is expected to remain near the 1953 level. That's the outlook as seen by Dr. Harry Love, head of agricultural economics department at VPI. He says individual farmers Jikely will find more ways to improve their net incomes by reducing production costs. However, he warns agaihst trying to do this by such means as sharply reducing the use of fertilizer or some other item of cash outlay. The most ominous cloud of the economic horizon for farmers in Dr. Love’s belief is the problem of controling production and finding profitble uses for the resulting idle acres. Acreage allotments have already been indicted for wheat, -cotton, tobacco, peanuts and probably corn. The land to be liverted from the production of these crops may total about 35,000,000 acres. A producer of one controlled crop can’t shift acreage diverted from that crop into another controlled crop. Since the controls apply to such a large part of the total crop acreage, there will be limited opportunity for making profitble use of diverted acres. It is possible, Dr. Love says, that in shifting the diverted acres to other uses farmers may add to the difficulties of others and fail to help them selves very much. For instance, many farmers will undoubtedly tend to shift diverted corn carege into soybeans, because the crop fits in with their farm organization and equipment. But unless something happens to increase greatly the demand for soybeans, it would not take much acreage increase to get that crop into serious trouble. Unless some other solution is found, it probably will be necessary to extend the web of controls next year, and continue to expand them in the future as farmers try to find uses for diverted land. The effect of these and other man-made barriers to more efficient use of productive resources may be to create more problems than they solve, Dr. Love says. The future will be one of adjustment—some inequalities and personal inconvenience. “The extent to which all groups and individuals accept this challenge and act wisely is al-limDr. Love*concludes. portant in determining the outlook,” Mrs. Henry S. Hitt, Mrs. Horace Scott, Charles Hitt, Lorena Hitt and Hildery Settle were Sunday visitors in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood t Clatterbuck of Clifton. Later in the day Mrs. Henry Hitt, Mrs. Horace Scott, Miss Lorena Hitt and Mrs. E. F. Clatterbuck called on Mrs. Elmer Clatterbuck.

Saw (don’t remember where) that the fall pig crop is about 9% lower than a year ago representing a total of 3 million pigs or so. Thus hog priqes should held up well through the first half of ‘54. The larger spring crop expected will probably cuse a declining market in the fall. It looks like next year’s turkey crop will be the largest in history. R. “J. Krueger, Assoc. Extension Agricultural Economist and Poultry Marketing Specialist of VPI, reminds turkey growers of the 1952 price situation when the U. S. turkey crop was 60i million birds. Growers intentions indicated in December pointed twoards repetitin of 1952 prices. Air. tvrueger is Dasing ms prediction on the fact that to November 1, 86% more Beltsville small white turkeys and 3% less heavy birds had been officially blood tested for breeders in the U. S. as compared with one year earlier. CORN COBS REPLACE HAY The lowly corn cob can be used to replace part of the hay in dairy cattle rations when the cows receive alfalfa. In a test at VPI Agricultural high quality corn silage and good Experiment Station, when ground corn cobs were used to replace on half of the usual allotment of hay, milk production was maintained satisfactorily. In the test one group of milk cows received 11 pounds of alfalfa hay, 33 pounds of corn silage, and a suitable grain mixture feed according to the level of milk production. Another group received 51 pounds of ground corn cobs, 33 lbs. of corn silage, and the same grain mixture fed the first group. After a 30-day period the groups were switched so that all cows were on each ration for a 30 day period. Both milk production and body 7 Forest Fires Reported in ‘S3 With only seven fires, Rappahannock ranked second from the bottom , in a1 compiled list of the number of fires reported in the Northern Piedmont District. These 7 fires burned 63 acres of land. In contrast, Albemarle ranked high with 55 fires J which burned over 14114 acres.Though Nelsno had less fires than Albemarle, 23, these extended over 305J acres. Three hundred and eleven forest fires were reported in 1953 in the Virginia Forest Service sixteencounty Northern Piedmont District, according to District Forester D. G. Wilfong, Jr. This is an increase in the number of fires over 1952, when 232 fires were reported. Although the number of fires was weight remained fairly constant throughout the test. “Son” Coleman, in charge of the soil survey work in Rapphannock, was by the office recently asking if there was any particular section of the county where I felt the work should be started. My reply was no, since I felt farmers in one scetion of the county were just as eager as in another consequently “Son” plans to start in heavily wooded areas in order to get as much done as possible before leaves come out again as it is much easier when trees are dormant. lrger in 1953^ the total acreage of forest land burned decreased from 4,690 acres, in 1952 to 1,563 acres in 1953. Wilfong stated that this was remarkable due to the Severe drought condition which existed for the last half of 1953. Over 150 of the total fires in 1953were reported during the months of July, August, September and October. This is very unusual, Wilfong stated, as in a normal fire year there are rarely over 15 fires during these months. In the sixteen-county, Albemarle County has the greatest number of fires, with 55, followed by Spotsylvania, with 36, and Fairfax reporing 32. Three-hundred an sid xacres were lost in Nelson county, followed !by Culpeper with 220 acres burned over, nd 215 in Spotsylvania. In 1952 in Nelson and Fluvanna counties over 1,200 acres were burned by single fires. During 1953 it was necessary to man the Forest Service lookout,, towers forty days more than in a normal fire year. Wilfong estimated the total loss fro mmroest fires, buildings, stock, game, soil and forests in his* district to be approximately $100,000.

Nutritionists at VPI have come up with tasty egg recipes. For instance— a top hat suoffle, which can be used as the main dish of a meal as a meat substitute. Ingredients—1 cup grated cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons flour, i cup milk, 3 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt butter, add flour and salt. Make a smooth paste. Add milk slowly stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Remove from fire, add grated cheese and egg yolks, stirring until cheese is melted. While still hot, pour slowly .into stiffly beaten egg whites, floding carefully with a spatula. Pour int oan ungreased baking dish and bake 45 min. at 300 degrees. To make a “top hat” on your souffle, draw a line with a teaspoon around the mixture in the casserole one inch from the edge. This forms a crease which when baking makes a “top hat.’’ Serve souffle immediately after baking. * * * Cooking with eggs ? Here are some hints from VPI nutritionists for best results.

Soil Management The Culpeper Soil Conservation District has on hand a limited number of mukiflora rose plants. All farmers who are cooperators with the District are eligible to receive these plants. Multiflora rose is rapidly gaining popularity as a “living fence’’ in Rappahannock and Culpeper conuties. At the present time there are approximately twelve miles of these fences in the two counties. It is capable of forming a fence that requires no wire, needs no hard-to-maintain braces to follow contour lines and does not require trimming or pruning. It is fast growing and attractive, makes good wildlife cover and has some value as an emergency wildlife food. These “living fences” also have an economic aspect. Rising prices make, these fences more desirable since the planting and main- tenance costs are small compared to a barb woven or wire fence. The cultural practices required to develop such a fence are simple and require little attention. Multiflora rose is not tolerant to wet, poorly drained soil and therefore, careful consideration should be given to the site. After the site has been selected plow four furrows and order. The plants should be spaced from 12-18 inches apart in the row, and until there is an abundant foliage they need to be cultivated in order to control weeds which compete with them for moisture and plant nutrients. Under favorable conditions three-four years growth is necessary before a fence suitable for turning livestock is obtained. If any additional information or literature is desired, please contact your lcoal Soil Conservation Service 'echnicians. A Meditation Rev. G. M. Profitt There comes to each in all walks of life, - Moments of darkness and inward strife; Moments that all but rend us apart, Moments which seek to break our heart. But there are also moments of joy and love, Sent to us by the Father above. To cheer us along in life’s battle strife, Lest we become faint and despair of life. God gives us assurances in His Holy Word, Which to some seem old-fashioned, even absurd, But His presence is even about us, as the sun in its height, ^ea even in he darknests and in the light. So lift up your head weary one, And look to Jesus the Father’s Son He’ll see you through your troubles and pain You have nothing to lose, but Heaven to gain.

Royal Ave. FRONT ROYAL Day PhoMi 217 Night Phona: 358 or 879 Soil Saver Notes “Conservation of valuable rainfall is of vital importance in growing com on my farm,” says Ueorge Crookes, dairy farmer in the Lakota <area. Several years ago George purchased a 238 acre farm, constructed a dairy bam and started dairying. Recently he added another 367 acre farm just across the river on which he will grow corn, sittall grain and hay as well as graze dry cows and young cattle. All crop rotations on the Crookes’ farms are being established in contour strips, thus conserving both valuable rainfall and indispcnsible top soil. As we walked over the rolling hills on the farm recently purchased, George called attention to the old corn rows running up and down hill, and the gullies between each row. “This all took place in 1953, a year with less than average rainfall,” said George. What would have happened for family and iarm use, all because not enough water was stored in the soil. Needless to say, a deep soil in a high state of fertility will hold many times more water than an eroded, shallow low producing soil. The soil, water, pasture and forest resources of the U. S. are the foundation blocks in the structure of n&tional^economy. From that base comes our food, most of our clothing, paper and other fiber, ^and much of our shelter. How well we protect and improve these resources in the years ahead will have a direct bearing on our standard of living in the towns and cities as well as on the farms.

Polio Vaccine To Be Studied A nationwide study to determine the effectiveness of a polio vaccine in preventing paralytic polio will get underway in one or more southern states during the week of February 8, 1954. In a gradually expanding program, more than two hundred counties throughout the United States will be involved before the mass vaccination project ends by June 1, 1954. During that period, 500,000 to 1,000,000 *1*1 J__ e ii. _ _ f ... i JV.WVU1 V.UIIU1VU ui lilt JVwIlU ^ldUC will have taken part1 in one of the largest studies of its kind ever undertaken. Participation will be on a voluntary basis with the consent of the child’s parents or legal guardians. Final results of the evaluation study are not expected until some time in 1955. In general, school children of the second grade will be vaccinated during a non-epidemic period and then observed during a subsequent polio epidemic to evaluate the protective effects of the vaccine. The basic factor for determining the protective effects of the vaccine will be a comparison of the incidence of paralytic polio in the vaccinated group with that of children in the first and third school grades. In announcing the vaccine study, Mr. O’Connor emphasized that the uniqueness of the project was not merely its size. “For the past sixteen years,” he said, “millions of Americans have actively supported scientists in the laboratory helping them create this new potential weapon against polio. And now they will continue .. that cooperation and help - prove whether we have really reached our goal—the conquest of polio." In the counties selected for the study, local physicians will administer the vaccine under the supervision of the county health officer. Members of the National Foundation’s 3,100 chapters will participate as volunteers in providing the many non-professional services required in the mass vaccinations. Other community and civic groups also will play a leading role in easing the task of vaccinating a half million or more children in hundreds of communities throughout the nation. The two hundred or more counties to be included in the vaccine validity study are being selected mainly on the basis of a previous polio history that will provide a statistically significant result. The criteria are: 1. High polio incidence for the past five years. 2. High epidemic rate nn past five years during June through September. 3. High attack rate in specific age group. 4. Adequate health and education facilities. 5. Socio-economic factors, geographic location, etc. to provide a significant cross-section study. The vaccine to be used in the study is composed of killed virus of all three polio virus types which have been grown in test-tube cultures of monkey kidney tissues. The virus is killed bp exposure to formalin and is prepared in a watery solution. This is called the aqueous type. Each child will receive three injections (1 c. c. eslch) of vaccine, the first two doses at weekly intervals and the third or “booster shot” four weeks later. The injections will be given* in the arm. The object of the vaccine study is to determine whether the amount of antibodies resulting from vaccination will prevent paralytic polio in a child who is exposed to the disease under natural conditions. An integral part of the vaccine study is to determine how long such immunity lasts. Before being administered to any children, each batch of the vaccine will undergo triple safety tests.
