SOME OBSERVATIONS .. W ■ PRO 01J Con We have been trying to figure out the two orders the General Services Administration recently received from the Agriculture Department. One for “Penguin Milk’’ and the other for' “Cooties’^ The only solution we have come; up with is: , i i Alter a purchasing officer Jfor GSA had spent much time, I research and phone calls, only ,to be informed that penguins dp not give milk, ha sent out and, purchased a can of condensed Iniilk, got a GSA draftsman—at taxpayers’ expense—to draw a label on the can and sent it to the Agriculture Department, Then, When he received an order from Agriculture Department for some cooties he at once filled the order, for, ' realising that members of j that so very important branch of our government must have something to do, other than order Penguin Milk, with a supply of cooties on hand they would be kept busy, oooo No one gave us the correct answer to last week’s question: What firm were 5yex-presidents, Lincoln, Arthur, Grant, Cleyeland and McKinley, once connected with ?” The answer, Mercantile Agency, which later became R.

Harold Geest, is really a blessing for the children (and the parents) of the community. Comic strips arc often hooted and placed in the rank of the insignificant, and the superflolis. Most adults are frank enuf to "admit” they read and like them, but there’re always those who glance at you with a patronizing look for your childishness in reading them. Some, I believe, are; a waste of good newsprint. But there are many others which not only give good clean amusement, but also conduct a crusade (which you unconsiously take part in). R« , Morgan, M.D., is now in the early stages of a story concerning “emotional difficulties.” He hps recently had strips- exploiting quack doctors, and the stigma sur-j rounding leprosy, cancer and other diseases. Judge Parker is completing a , strip on slot machine racket. Joje Palooka is noted for his lesson to j young athletics. There are many more that likewise- do good.

S. Barksdale, , Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. The announced minimum support rate will be in effect in tjhe commercial wheat States if wheat growers approve marketing Quotas in the referen^, dum on June 25. (Virginia is, a commercial wheat State.) The price 1 announcement followed an earlier statement by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson that | the minimum 1956 wheat support^ price wduld be es- ■ tablished before the marketing quota referendum. With this announcement, Wheat growers have all the necessary facts before voting in the referendum. . - 1 he announced minimum support for 1956'reflects 76 per cent of the estimated “transitional” wheat parity price of $2.38 per bushel. The support level is set In . accordance with the law which j. provides for a variable level on the basis of, the estimated supply of wheat. HThe minimum national average Bite of $1.8.1 per bushel for 1956-crop wheat will , not be reduced but will be increased -if a - . combination of j the wheat parity price and the supply percentage on July 1, 1956 indicates a higher minimum level of support. If two-thirds or more of the wheat growers wiring in the wheat t marketing quota referendum on June 25;. approvd, marketing quotas will remain in effect for the 1956 crop and price support will average not less than $1.81 per bushel to. growers in . the commercial wheat States who do not * exceed their farm wheat allotments. When quotas are in effect the producer whq exceeds his farm wheat allotment-!—if he has more than 15 acres for harvest—will be subject to a marketing quota penalty of 45 per! cent .of parity on • the excess production. Wheat from a farm on which the allotment has * been exceeded is not eligible for ^ price support. j. . If more than !one-third of the - growers voting ip the referendum disapprove, marketing quotas will not be in effect and price support will be available at 50 per cent of the transitional parity price, or • ' about $1.19 a bushel for those farmers who stay within their farm wheat acreage allotment. Those who exceed their farm wheat acreage allotment. Those wheat acreage allotments will not be eligible for wheat price support. Burr P.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Wash in (to a, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE,. ... —A— Publish*/ Entered a* tecood-dsM mail matter at tbs post office at Washington. Virginia SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) (2.00 4 PUBLIC EDUCATION . IN VIRGINIA • )*' Public education in Virginia is ai arge enterprise. The bosineseman realises this when be knows that in a sing-1 e year (1952-53) Virginians invested as much as f 195,000,000 in their public elementary and secondary schools. It 4s an enterprise which has enor. mo us potentialities for influencing life in the Commonwealth how and for years ahead. These potentialities are of interest to the Virginia > businessman, /to the educational , officials who operate our schools, and to every eitisen in the state. There are several oenspieuous aspects of this job that lie ahead. , 1. 8here will be persistent need for more classrooms to houA the anticipated further increases in enrollment. i. store teacners win De uemanded for the additional class* rooms as well- as for replacements. This cleanly means interesting a largerjnumber of our most capable young men and women to prepare for a career in teaching. 5. An extension of the program of state scholarships for students preparing to teach is clearly indicated as. a means of directing more capable students into teachin*. 4. The ever present need for improved salaries for teachers will continue until the profession of teaching is in a more favorable competitive position for the best talent among our young people. 4. The curriculum most continue to be made more effective in the education of all our youth. It will be easy in the years ahead for school officials to become absorbed in buildings, finances, and 'personnel to the neglect of curriculum improvement. It is imperative, though, that the educational fare with which the pupils are nourished bet of the highest possible quality/ 6. Means must also be foynd to upgrado the educationally retarded sections of our state. There exists a wide variation in educational opportunities among our counties and cities. Soma eountiea and cities do not have the wealth with which to support an adequate edu. cational program. Othefs have the wealth buta re unwilling to use it In the same proportion as their neighboring counties and cities to support schools. The unable but willing should have greater assist ance from the State'* tax reaourc. •a. The able but unwilling need carefully to examine the cost of their neglect. Even the most cautious must be convinced by the studies of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce whieh show that money spent for schools is a sound financial investment. 7. Virginia’s low rank among the states in peV cent of young people of high school and college age who are enrolled in school is disturbing. Further improvements in the high school curriculum through consolidation and diversification of offering should help. Rut the increased cost of a college education will continue to a keep many capable young men and women from continuing their education belond high school. Perhaps the establishment of college opportunities nearer home will be the answer for many young persons. The experiment in this direction now under way in the state should be watched earefully and expand. ed if successful. These demands for further progVess are not impossible ones. Virginia has the resources—both material and human—to provide a sound and adequate education for tbe youth of our beloved Commonwealth. Man Labor Can Be* Replaced With Mechanical Labor Many fanners are still doing things die hard way. A. J. Lambert, associate agricultural engineer at VPIt suggests doing some jobs mechanically instead of by the back-breaking method. For instance, it’s been computed that a dairyman spends about 75 percent of his time working arirand buildings. He will handle around 15 tons of produce, raw material, and waste per cow per year. A poultryman will handle around 10 tons of materials per 100 hens per year, and will likely spend more time in the poultry house doing it than the dairyman spends around the barn. Why not let conveyors or elevators do a big share of this work for you? Small portable elevators are easiest to use to move material either horizontally or vertically. There are many brands of small conveyors on the market—or you can build your own. They are used to handle bulk grain, litter,, bedding, ensilage, chopped hay,; potatoes, apples, vegetables, sand gravel, stove woods, and similar, materials. I The small conveyor can be constructed of ’aluminum or *ood with chain and flights, or * belt with dr without cleats. It is generally built in from 8 to 20 foot - lengths and will operate to 60 degrees up or down from the horizontal. A 3/4 hp or smaller electric motor is required, depending on length. Urgtr portable elevators for general purpose are available in lengths from 20 to 70 feet. They will handle the same materials the small elevators handle, plus baled hay, bagged grain, etc. The power needed ranges from Vs hp elertric motor at 200 feet to a 5 hp electric motor at 70 feet. Cost is about the same per foot as for smaller elevators. Other special purpose conveyors are used for cleaning bam gutters, feeding poultry, unloading wagons, unloading silos, etc. Cost on this type conveyor varies considerably depending on use made of it. Armyworm Outbreak Reported In Southeastern Va. Virginia’s first definite armyworm “outbreak of the year 'has been reported in southeastern Va. Arthur P. Morris, associate entomologist at VPI, says damage reported so far has been only to oats, but the pests will readily attack other small grains and grasses. If the worms remain unchecked, serious damage can be expected. Outbreaks are expected in other parts of the states, and farmers are alerted to be ready for them. Spot treatments are often practical when armyworms are found migrating from one crop to another. In such cases the insecticides can be applied to border strips, roadways, and hedge rows around infested fields. Toxaphene, TDE, DDT, -and methoxychlor at about the rate of two pounds actual material per acre should control the worms effectively. However, of these insecticides, methoxychlor is the only one t|iat should be used if the crop is fo be harvested, within three weeks of treatment and is to be eaten by animals. It may be slightly less effective against the armyworm than any of the other three materials. Alfalfa weevil infestations continue to be reported from additional counties. Reports of pea aphid infestations continue, but natural controls, such as disease, parasites, and predators, are now reducing numbers in various parts of the state. The number of different truckcrop' and garden insects is increasing and will continue to do so for the rest of the season. Flea beetles seem to be causing the most concern to growers on the Eastern Shore. TTiey’re on virtually all crops. * ; ' Social Security New$ ' Students who arc looking lor work should be sure to have a social security card, according to Robert E. Parsons, Assistant Manner of the Alexandria Social Security office. Mr. Parsons pointed out that because most jobs are now under social security, the need for a card is greater than ever. Employers will ask to see the account number card before putting the^ student to work. Some employers may refuse to hire unless the applicant has a card. The information on the social security card, the person’s name and account number, are needed by the employer for his records in sending in the worker’s social security tax. Mr. Parsons noted that the social security card represents an insurance policy with Uncle Sam. The social security tax paid by the worker is credited to his individual .policy, which is identified by the name and number onr the card. The amount credited to the policy, throughout the years, will help determine if benefits will be payable and the amount that can be paid. 32 nd State 4-H Short Course June 27 - July 2, VPl Winners of coveted awards in state 4-H agricultural and home economics contests will be announced during the 32nd annual state 4-H short course at VPl, June 27 - July 2. Dr. W. EL Skelton, state 4-H agent at VPl, says some 1,100 club members, leaders, and county agents from throughout Virginia will attend the sessions. The short course is the largest 4-H event in the state, and annually draws many visitors from out-ofstate. Also on hand this year will be five international farm youth exchange delegates from abroad, and several Virginians who have served as IFYE's in other countries. Tuesday morning, June 28, principal speaker will be Congressman Watkins M. Abbitt, representative of the fourth congressional district, who will discuss “Opportunities for Youth.” > Other highlights of the week’s program will include: an IFYE presentation Tuesday evening; the "House of Magic” science show by General Electric Corporation, Wednesday evening; the annual 4-H All Star presentation Thursday evening; and the 4-H ‘share-the-fun’ talent program Friday evening. I; Initiation of top 4-H’ers into the Virginia Chapter of All Stars, an honorary organization, also is planned for Friday evening.

Research in disease of large animals is relatively new in Virginia. But already it’s paid off handsomely. In the last three years, for instance, have been: the discovery that a mysterious malady Called hyperkeratosis (X-disease) Was caused by contact with highly chlorinated naphthalenes; and the development of a new vaccine for leptospirosis. These two projects alone have returned to Virginia fanners around $40 for each 50c spent in research. The benefits, which will keep; on accumulating through the years, are not easily measurable on a national scale. I Both of these diseases with the tongue-twisting names had puzzled arid plagued cattlemen for many years. Research on X-disease was dope primarily by Dr. W. B. Bell, now associate director of the Experiment Station; on leptospirosis by IW. G. Hoag, who now heads up| the three-man animal disease research unit. The books haven’t been closed yet, Research on various phases of both diseases is continuing. . ■ jibe veterinarian delve into trouble as it arises. Of immediate concern is the appearance in Virginia of musosal disease—really a grcjup of diseases characterized by fevjer, diarrhea and respiratory ailments. Highly infectious, mocosal disease has caused some extensive worry among national defense agencies because of its similarity to | rinderpest. Rinderpest could wreak havoc in U. S. livestock herds if introduced from abroad, and is a “natural" for use in bacteriological warfare. Mucosal disease itself has around a 25% mortality rate, and affects mostly tattle under one year old. There are many question marks. Why have mucosal diseases suddenly come to the fore? Is; there some relation to the widely known VE disease of swine? Or even to some human diseases? As yet nobody knows. . j; There’s nothing like it for beautiful, smooth ' room decoration.

Quotas have been in operation in 1954 and 1955. If growers approve the program by at least two-thirds vote, marketing quotas for the 1956 crop will become effective and wheat growers with acreages in excess of 15 acres and the farm allotment Will be subject to penalties on any wheat marketed. Wheat will be considered to be marketed If milled or used on the farm. v When Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson announced marketing quotas for 1956, subject to growers’ vote, he announced a national allotment of 55 million acres, the minimum level specified by law and the same national acreage allotment in effect for die -1955 crop. ' , Because only growers or over 15 acres of wheat will be subject to marketing quotas, they are the only growers eligible to vote in the referendum. However, any and all producers who will be interest* ed in a wheat crop of 16 or more acres in 1956 may vote. The referendum will be conducted under supervision of county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committees. These committees are at present computing individual farm allotments and such allotments, as well as facts on the referendum, will be in wheat producers’ hands prior to the date on which the vote will be held. Growers will merely vote yes or no on the question of marketing quotas in 1956. A favorable twothirds majority will mean that marketing quotas will continue for „ farms with wheat acreage of more than 15 acres; penalties will apply on wheat excess production; and the' price support level to be announced shortly will probably' be between 75 and 82 percent of parity Vo farmers complying with their allotments. If more than one-third of the votes cast in the referendum op' pose quotas, there will be no penalties on excess wheat allotments will remain in effect for price support eligibility; and price support will be at 50 percent of parity to those producers who comply with farm allotments. The Virginia wheat allotments for 1956 is 261,043 acres and there will be probably about 48,000 individual farm allotments.

Make Plans Early • For Fall Pastures Plan early for good fall pastures suggests John F. Shoulders, associate agronomist at VP1. He says plans for fall pasture seedings should include selecting the field, having the soil tested, making arrangmeents to have lime and fertilizer on hand when needed, preparing land early, and selecting a pasture mixture which will provide abundant grazing. After selecting the field, take's representative soil sample and send it to a soil testing laboratory for analysis. Take samples from _1 ,-1_.1..__ mix them together thoroughly, and send a pint sample of the mixed soil to the laboratory. . If part of the field has received a different lime, fertiliser, or cropping treatments, or is a different soil type, make separate samplings. Soil recorded sheets. and cartons for sending samples to the VPI soil testing laboratory are available from county .agents and other professional agricultural workers. Lime is important. Apply enough to bring the pH to between 6.0 and 6.5, preferable 6.5. The nearer the pH is to 6.5 the longer it will be before liming is necessary again. Apply at least half the lime 30 days before seeding. If the soil is extremely acid, apply half the lime before plowing, then plow it down. Most fields can profitably use 800 to 1,000 pounds of X complete fertilizer such as 2-12-12 or 5-1010 for seedings of tall grass and ladino pastures. Seeding time is' the only time fertilizer and lime can be worked deeply into the soil. Deep placement of lime and fertilizer will encourage deeper root development and the (feature will be better able to withstand drouth.

' The U. S. average price received by farmers in mid-April was 29.1c as compared with 33.1c last April.

To make things even better, storage stocks are likely to be well, below last year when the 1955 marketing season begins. Virginia G. Miller •ku 21*1 WASHINGTON. VA.

Cows mostly steady. Hogs progressively higher. BROILERS Virginia broiler prices dropped off about a penny a pound last week, reacting to heavy marketings of light weight birds. The average was 26 Vi to 27 Vi cents. However, Georgia was up to 27 cents and North Carolina up slightly to 26Vi, putting the three areas about on a level once more. The usual strong June demand appears to be continuing even though potential supplies are on the up trend again, after reaching a nlatMii. . It looks as though broiler prices should be steady to a little weaker for the next two weeks or so. Eggs set, which have been climbing week by week, dropped off a little last week, but still were 14% above a year ago. HQGS As expected, hog prices advanced about $1 a hundred in Virginia auctions last week, averaging $20.20, the first $20 hogs in some time. , Western markets also increased 50 cents to $1 averaging $20 to $20.25 for the week. After the jump, hog prices probably will level off this week, but the general trend is slowly up until mid-summer. , OATS Tfyre >* a good feed demand for oats in Virginia this year. It might pay to sell some if you can get it to market soon. Virginia prices last week averaged 60 to 70 cents, against a loan rate of 72 cents a bushel. Virginia’s crop is about the same as last y<*ar, based on acreage planted, but probably will be less owing to oats cut for hay. The national crop is expected to be about the same as last year.
