Rappahannock News, September 9, 1954

VOLUME 6-—NUMBER 45 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1954 KXXXttXX O.N.T. struck a familiar cord with many, people last week. This we came to realize as phone calls poured in, individuals stopped us on the street and letters, one from out of state, all agreed that the letters, O.N.T., used as the trade mark on spools of threadbare the initials of Our New Thread. “Sewing machines began to come ■■ into general use about the ttime of the Civil War. Their introduc' tioh made it desirable for manufacturers to produce a thread thatwould be suitable for machine as well as for hand sewing. In 1862 .;_the Clark Thread Company developed such a thread and marketed it as Our New Thread. Two years George A. Clark decided to abbreviate the phrase to O.N.T. with a view to arousing curiosity as to its meaning. The thread was then advertised as Clark’s O.N.T. Spool Cotton and O.N.T* became one of the most popular trade . : i . . -■ tt - Three persons volunteered the correct answer at such close intervals that all of them are being sent a free year’s subscription to thcf Rappahannock News. They are Miss May Johnson of Culpeper, Nelson Nethers of Sperryville and B. M. Miller of Washington. For this week’s question we choose: Who is Mrs. John Workman? (Maiden name - Mary Arlene Higdon.) Supply the correct answer and you will win a free year's subscription to the Rappahannock News. ^ ; • O O O '"'Q... •• • ■• s' The following tribute to Sena^ tor A. Willis Robertson was pub* lished in the Virginia Record, and we feel that, every Virginia voter will want to read it: * A Willis Robertson was recently — declared the nominee of the Democratic Party in Virginia to succeed himself in the United States Senate. The fact that opposition ‘ within the party faded out or failed to materialize is a tribute to the hold Senator Robertson has on the people of this State where .. his nomination is practically tantamount to election. This tribute is readily understandable. His constituents realize that their representative places devotion to duty above personal convenience and comfort. At his f work from early morning to late evening, the business of his responsible office comes first. In this day when being a member of the Senate is really a full * time job and when it is virtually impossible for a Senator to fully . acquaint himself with all the questions that come before that body, Senator Robertson has a remark■ i able grasp on major subjects of ^ . legislation. In matters of finance, ' taxation and trade he is a recogvf nized authority. - Witness for instance the fact < that he was chosen in June to lead ' the debate on the Senate floor for a larger measure of reciprocal trade. His interest in this question, so vital now to the world’s well being, dates from his early collaboration ih the program with former Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Yet with all of the important matters-that call for his attention, there is no constituent who cannot freely call upon Senator Robertson ' for samll things and be assured that they will receive prompt attention.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNINGAt Washington, Rappahannock Count/*'Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE.Publisher # Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) _1_$2.00 a year Tomorrow and Tomorrow Michelangelo was seventy-two years old when he was appointed chief archietct of St. Peter’s,' and commissioned to embellish the greatest temple in the world with his paintings and statues. For eighteen years he continued this work which made his fame as imperishable as the church itself. Toward the end, when his eyesight failed and he had become feeble, he had his servants carry him into the great halls and galler—ies and chapels where he had labored with such vim and enthusiasm. He would run his hands over the statues and carvings, feeling out with his dexterous fingers the details which his eyes could no longer see, and having done so, he often exclaimed, “I still learn.” We are told that he smiled when _he said it. ss^The-i^gaFwhSh^msuallwds tas= ken from this sidelight is that man is never too old to learn—or should not be. But there is a better tip for all of us in the indication that he was happy in the realization that progress was still ahead The grumpish man lives in the past and defies improvements over the superiorty of the yesterdays. Some men arrive at the deadline of knowledge at sixty, some at fifty, and quite a few at forty. Age alone has little to do with it. It is reached when one no longer can smile as he compares his past perfor_mance with the prospects of further improvement. —Alfred W. Brandt THE RURAL MAN'S “ENLIGHTENMENT" -One week on a real farm is about all that’s needed to take the conceit out of a city boy. He soon finds that the country lad knows almost everything he knows about the city—and a great many other things that the city boy never realized were worth knowing. sumption of superiority is the more The urbanite’s complacent aspathetic because it’s so naive. Intelligent people who live in rural communities often are better informed than those who dwell in apartment houses. Obviously, the reason is that the rural cousins come to the city to do their shopping, see the good shows ,and attend the important concerts, while city people go to the country only to kill time or look at nature. Farmers and small-town folk nowadays read metropolitan newspapers, listen to the radio, look at the television, see the current magazines, and buy the latest books. Because they don’t waste so many hours in getting to and from their work and enjoy all the conveniences of this electrical age, they have more time for thought _and reading—with the result that . they know as much as the citydwellers about world affairs, baseball, the movies, politics, dance orchestras, Broadway premieres, and night clubs—and have an intimate acquaintance with fried chicken, fresh eggs, dairy products, tractors, soil conservation, apple cider, and an atmosphere undefiled with factory smoke.— —William Feather in Tree to Trade. GRASS ROOTS OPINIONS Colfax, Calif., Record—“There are many—who constantly resolve to improve their minds by reading intelligently written books, in the hope that they will become better equipped to understand the many issues that crowd upon them as they try to keep pace with this modern world ... The Bible has long been recognized as preeminent in the field of. . . improving human beings. It might be a good idea, then, for all of us to give a little more diligent study to the great truths that are set out in the Book of Books.” the comfort of self-delusion The best advice is often more than we can bear. It takes courage to face the impact of truth, and firm resolution to form new habits to fit the facts. Your doctor is sometimes confronted with the stern necessity of advising restrictions in your usual routine. Your favorite dessert or that comforting — cigar may be denied you. There is a strong temptation to treat such advice lightly, to feel you know your needs better than your doctor. Such self-delusion may be comforting, but it defeats the very ends* you seek'.

RAPP-CHATS I 0 I /By: W. H. Lyne I County Agent i i .r— -mi ilium I iiiiiinim iiimimmmiiiinimniM— A goodly portion of the Virginia Feeder Calf Exhibit winning national recognition by talcing first place at the Ohio State Fair at Columbus last week were produced at James W. Fletcher's Thornton Hill Farm. There were 28 calves in all put on feed Aug. 1st after being selected by C. P. McClaugherty of the State Division’s Margets, Allen Randolph of the Virginia Beef Cattleman’s Association and K. C. Williamson of the VPI Animal Husbandry Department. Nine of these calves were from Thornton Hill, nine from Carlton Clore’s herd, two from Brandy Rock, one from Bending River, three from Mr. Loving’s herd, four from Mr. Sims’ herd, all of Culpeper county. Last week twenty-three head were chosen to go to Columbus where, upon arrival twenty were selected for the exhibit open to-national_ competition. Need more be said than—they won! A grand boost to the quality feeder calves offered in this section. * * * Speaking of feeder calves—-1403 head have been nominated for the Rappahannock Angus Sale scheduled for October 12 at Front Royal by 49 producers. New consignors are: Woodmar farm, Walter Slavik, W. R. Burke. W. F. Kesler, W. C. Williams, W. F. Moffett, L. W. Buckley, D. L. Miller, J. R. DeBergh and Vernon Gatley. Nine Hereford breeders have nominated 266 head for the Northern Virginia Feeder Calf sale scheduled for October 8th at Winchester. New consignors include K. H. Quasebarth and J. A. Burke. Herbert Barksdale will consign to the Page County Sale also held at Front Royal on October 19. Thus Rappahannock though comparatively small in area will sell methods this fall besides those going through the Winchester spring sale. The outlook is good—we hope prices will be that way too! # * * If Tom Henry yelled when he wrote “Ouch,” what did you yell when you read his last week's Quiz Column? Quote: “How much does it cost the United States to store the $6 billion worth of wheat, corn, cotton, butter, skim milk and other farm surpluses? $500,000 a day.” Are we selling our freedom or is freedom worth as much as your wheat, corn, or butter, etc?

Your freedom-*— American freedom! U. S. dollars are tax dollars. * * * Many Rappahannock farmers have been asking about this subsoiling idea. At the Four-State Farm Field Demonstration held recently at Frederick, Maryland Extension Agronomist from both Maryland and Penn. State advised the thousands in attendance that their research showed that subsoiling did not „ pay. Here is what our Agronomists at VPI have to say about the subject: WORK IN OTHER STATES Following the renewed interest on the part of the farmer and the implement manufacturers and dealers in subsoiling, your institution contacted approximately 12 states to check on the available re.— . -.JL search information in regard to “the use of subsoilers. With one exception, all of the states indicated that they had received no appreciable mcrease in yield from the use of subsoiling or deep tillage implements. Research material is available from other states than those which we contacted which has been reported in various scientific publications. We are giving below certain of the information representing the good and the bad which was used as a basis of our conclusion. Woodruff and Smith in a study of subsoil shattering and the use of lime and fertilizers on the shattered subsoil have reported the re suits given in the following table for the 5 year period 1943-47. Subsoil treatment (9-18” depth) Crop—Corn; Non bu. acre, 27; Shattered bu. acre, 30; Shattered and deep treated** bu. acre, 33S. Crop—Oats None bu. acre, 30; Shattered bu. acre, 31; Shattered and deep treated** bu acre, 31; Crop—Barley; None bu. acre, 24; Shattered bu. acre, 19S. Shattered and deep treated** bu. acre, 22. As the yield of corn would indicate, these results were obtained with a very low application of fertilizer on the surface soil which consisted of a 100 pound per acre of 20% superphosphate on the small grain. To determine what would happen with adequate surface fertilization, new treatments were applied both to the subsoil and surface and the results checked for the 6 year period 1948-53 inclusive. The base treatment applied to the surface 9 inches, consisted of 3 tons of lime, 1 ton of rock phosphate with 100 pounds of muriate of potash, start fertilizers on all crops and extra nitrogen on corn and wheat. In addition, 4 tons of lime and 1 ton )f rock phosphate were put in the shattered subsoil in 1947. The results from this test are given in the following table: (Continued on Page 6) Woodville News Notes Miss Louise O’Bannon and Miss Mary Stark were in Culpeper on Friday shopping.

Wooster Plowing The Ordinary Way Crop—Corn,, Bu.; 7^/2 inches only. 61.1; 7 J/2 inches plus 7 l/z inches subsoil plowing. 61.3; Spalding Deep Dish Plow 15 ins., 59.5 ; Crop—Oats, Bu.; 7 Vs! inches only, 49.0; 7 J/2 inches plus 1 x/z inches subsoil plowing, 49.0; Spalding Deep Dish Plow 15 ins, 49.3; Crop—Wheat, Bu., 31.5; 7 J/2 inches plus 7 Vz inches subsoil plowing, 31.6; Spalding Deep Dish Plow 15 inches, 31.5; Crop—Clover, Tons; 7 Vz inches only, 2.7; 7 */2 inches plus 7 Vz inches subsoil plowing, 2.6; Spalding Deep Dish Plow 15 inches, 2.5 , Quoting from the Ohio report “Deep rooted plants such as alfalfa and sweet clover grown either with or without grass still offer the most practicable approach to making a deeper unit of soil capable of furnishing air, water, and plant nutrients to growing crops. The process of root decay furnishes channels for water percolation . and air penetration. Furthermore, this process can be made practically continuous if land is reseeded back to meadow a year after plowing the existing legume-grass sod for corn or their cultivated crops.” liie only state contacted wnicn indicates a decided increase from deep subsoi^ing and applying fertilizer to subsoil is Indiana. As far as we can tell, this experiment did not have the comparison of an identical surface treatment to the subsoil treatment; which would indicate whether or not the. fertilizer applied in the upper soil as was done in the case of Missouri results would have given as good as results as deep application. Quoting from the Indiana report “Yield increase from subsoil fertilization can only be expected on soils with dense subsoils that are deficient in nutrients. Experiments on such soils on the Purdue Agronomy Farm have resulted in 29% yield increase for corn (75 bushels to 97 bushels per acre) and 9% increase of .soybeans (33 bus. to 36 bushels per acre). So far wheat has not shown any benefit from subsoil fertilization. Illinois quotes the following results from a 1925 experiment: Illinois quotes the Results - Corn Yields, Bushels per Acre III. Agr.

Rotation on Sisne silt loam - corn, soybeans, wheat, red clover. In conclusion they had the following to say: “Many other references on subsoiling could be citecf, but the conclusions would still be the same as the one reached in 1918 (Jour. Agr. Res. 14:481521) and quoted in a recent book (Soil Conditions and Plant Growth, 1952): ‘Yields cannot be increased nor the effects of drought mitigated by tillage below depth' of ordinary plowing. The quite general popular belief in the efficiency of deep foundation of fact, but is based on misconceptions and lack of knowledge of the. form and extent of the root system of plants and of the behavior and movement of water in the soil.” R.
