In Washington, the townspeople saw a cloud of smoke hovering over the W. F. Moffett property, and noting the darkness of it, thought it to be from a brush fire. The alarm, however,-was soon called in an3 the, Washington Volunteer Fire Department rushed to the scene. Though unable to save the house, the firemen prevented the fi’-e from reaching outbuildings and from escaping into the woods, Generous contributions, of food, clothing and furniture, have been pouring fnto the Qatterbuck fam- ' ily, from individuals and organizations, including a $100 donation from the Rappahannock Chapter of the American Red Cross. * Po8trfla8ter* Attend Convention %TnVetroif i Mis* Hilda Brown, Mr*.

D. Work is world-wide. “Country Women of the World” was organized in 1930 for the.purpose of promoting a better understanding among all Homemaker’s organizations of all nations. One of its aims is to stimulate interest in the international aspects of rural life and development. What a valuable organization to have’ in these days of international tensions and misunderstandings! It is financed by annual dues from the constituent societies and “Pennies for Friendship” (collected each year from H. D. members' ahd sent to the county treasury to forward. From the international we come to the national level with the - “Council of Country Women” composed of the constituent 'societies. of the international organization, ini the Uunted States of ‘America. Its aims are to bring these societies into closer relationships and to further the aims of the “Association of Country Women of the World.” The‘National Home Demonstration Council, is an organization of the State Federation designed to provide a pooling of their judgment and experience for the progressive improvement of home and communin’ life, and to offer a means by which homemakers may initiate, interpret, and promote extension projects of national and international importance in the protection and development of the American The Home home. Virginia Federation of Demonstration Clubs (bringing us to the state level) has as its msjor interest a better life in rural Virginia. To this end it is affiliated with several organizations having this common interest— Agriculture Conference Board, Virginia Food Council, and the Virginia Council on Health and Medical Care which the Federation was nstrumental in forming. Rappahannock is one of 92 counties belonging to the Federation in Virginia. Through this association, the latest information gained by scientific research is available,, to even- resident in the county to suit his needs. From the Virginia Agriculture Extension Service this is brought to us by the Home and County Agents. The information, guidance and assistance is n'be had for the asking with no expense to the recipients. Home Demonstration is that portion tjf the Extension program conducted in the counties under the leadership of the H. D. agents. Its over-all objective is to strengthen home and family life, raise the standards of living and stimulate civic action. Work to this end. is conducted with* both adults and youth through both organized and individual effort. If Rappahannock is to grow and prosper (it needs to) it will do so Sily by attaining the goals of H. i. work. Instead of abandoning the foundations already laid for this needed work, let each resolve to build on these foundations— build a; stronger, healthier, happier and more enlightened citizenry who can be relied upon in any emergency and will con 1SE BUYS!

Because' of the increasing number of children going to school it is very important fpr every member of the community to help in this job, for a community is measured by its citizens, and its citizens are made in school. We are fortunate in having two of the necessary requirements for good teaching, i.e., a substantial building and good teachers, Miss Mary Bruce .and Miss Dorothy Spicer. We need, to help them in their job, more books, records, and other teaching aids, and we are in great need of playground equipment such as swings, seesaws, and a sandbox. To raise money for the books, etc., the Forest Grove' P-TA is giving a Harvest Dinner on Friday, November 18 at the Amissville Firehouse from 5:30 P.M. to 8 P.M. Remember that date! you are cordially invited to attend! Any donations by interested citi sent of materials and services foT the playground equipment will be greatly appreciated. We will need lumber, chains, sand, and cement. Please get in touch with Miss Mary Bruce, at Forest Grove School. Amissville. * Sincerely, Mrs. I. L. Parrish i Viewtown, Va. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: The headlines in the News of October 12, reporting on our 1955 Angus Calf Sale, read 62 per cent Fancy and Choice at sale. Calves do not just naturally „ grow that good so some one must wonder — how did this happen? , This is my answer to How Did This Happen? First — Rappahannock Angus Breeders have learned over the years through efforts of the County Agents that good cows and the best purebred, bulls produce fancy and choice calves. Second—The Rappahannock Angus Breeders Association Weeding and Sale Committees have had tremendous influence on the quality of calves produced for the sale and the quality of buyers who attend the sale. I was not a consignor when the sale was organized but have sold through the sale for the past ten years. It seems to me I have heard that Lewis Turner had something to do in organizing the sale then Bill Lyne came along and continued to improve the work begun. I have also heard that Rhodes Brown and Jim Yates have been on the Weeding and Sales Committee from the beginning — so when you call names the Angus Breeders here are much indebted to the men named above. They have put money in your pocket each year—I say Thank You. Sincerely, A Menrfoer of Rappahannock Angus Breeders Association. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. and Mrs. James H.

By the first week of November, they will be only about eight per cent a|x»v.c last year. , j Right now, the poultry industry is selling nearly 18 per cent more broilers than last year at prices 10 per cent above last year, indicating continued strong demand and probably some storage buying. The only real dark Spot is] the continuing rise in eggs set. Week before last, they reached 27 I per cent above last year.

By November, a lot of old hens will have gone to market, bringing a reduction in egg supplies. Also, demand usually picks up about this time of year. it seems good advice to hold onto old hens as long as they are making feed costs. Egg prices will be relatively high through next month. CATTLE to $2 Prices have improved $1 at Virginia’s feeder calf sales in the past two weeks. Best steers were bringing i$22 to $25 with some over $30. Heifers showed most improvement with an average of $17 to $18 and a top over $20. This , still leases a good price gap between heifers and steers for a feeder who can handle heifiers. Once again, it’s time to unload those cows. Cow prices dropped another $1 last week to $9.40. There is still more drop in them when a good freeze kills off the grass. I Steers'dropped off $1 last week too, reaching $18.10, about the same as the same week a year! ago. Steer prices probably are near bottom. ] Veal prices jumped up $1.50 to $24, with choice and prime bringing $26.50 last week. Except for minor drops like the recent ones, veal prices probably will continue their usual climb until the first of the year. lily ? fling pay irces of information: the woven label at the back of the neck; a pin ticket either pinned or stapled—for store use primarily; and the hang tag, usually’ found around, a button or through a buttonhole.

Opencilouse At Flint Hill Firemen’« New Fire Hall Most of „the families in and around Flint Hill met at the fire hall for a “family open house”, Saturday evening, October 15. There were about 150 people in. eluding thore than 30 children present. H. S. Barksdale welcomed everyone. There was dancing to music from the juke box and a record player and some participants vow- . ed they hadn’t danced for many years, but all appeared supple enough as the gay music played. Some of the more sedate sat on the .< stage and played “set back” and other card games. The children indulged in carefree gambs of tag as well as dancing. There was a willing and able committee in the kitchen preparing hamburger, hot dogs and ham sandwiches and coffee. Some of the firemen manned the bottle opener on the “pop” box and refreshments were on the house. Since the building is not completed and there is very little furniture, there were no decora**00** and guests .sat on apple boxes (eburtesy of Foster brothers). * Everyone agreed that “family night” was a great institution and that the fire hall would “do" for size and convenience and it is probable that this activity W iftplwwd,periodically. <_rs y>- t tziis The official “grand opening” will be planned when all decorating and building is finished. No admission was charged for the open house Saturday night but it will be in any subsequent events. Among the guests were Mrs. Billy Kendrck and son, David of Roanoke, house guest of Mrs. R. L. Massie; Mrs. D. B. Smith, Jr., •of Amissville, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Massie, Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Bruce and John Divers of ' Washington, and Mrs. Murphy of Washington, D. C. _ HOMEMAKERS’ ITEMS The black widow spider is caus•'Tng concern in Virginia these days. Arthur P. Morris, associate entomologist af VPI, says reports of large numbers of the spiders have come from southeastern and southwestern counties in particular'. and fher likely are a state-wide * problem. At least one man (in • Bedford county) has been bitten, and the result was considerable pain for several days. All black spiders aren’t black widows. The only way to be sure .is to turn the spider over, and look for a pipk or red "hourglass-shaped spot on its underside. If one black widow is found, most likely there are more, so it’s best to use a house hold chlordane spray on possible spider harborages, such as roof eaves, piles of lumber, trash, rock walls, etc. If possible, remove the harborages entirely. The black widow is poisonous, more so to some people than others. "“"Extreme pain, nausea, and -swelling may result. There have been fatalities, .but they are rare. If you are bitten, place an ice pack on the affected area and call a physician. In many cases, the spiders may ■ be cleared out of an area simply by searching for them, crushing them, and destroying the egg masses. Details'on control of the insect art available in USDA Circular “The Black Widow Spider.” Ask your county "agent about it or write the VPI Agricultural Extension Service, Blacksburg. OCTOBER IS GOOD TIME TO TRANSPLANT ORNAMENTALS October is an ideal month to plant or transplant evergreens, junipers, hollies, and yews. A. S. Beecher, associate horticulturist at V.P.I., says to get your order in immediaitely and set out ; the plants as soon as you receive them. f There are two types of evergreens—broadleaf and needle. The first is characterized by the rhododenron and mountain laurel, latter, by the native hemlock, juniper and arborvitae. No simple answer can be to the question as to which evergreens to use. This will depend largely on cost and personal wishes. The broadleaf evergreens are more informal in the way they grow and in the character of their foliage. The needle-type evergreens are more formal in general outline and foliage characteristics. Broadleaf evergreens -such as boxwood and Japanese hollies may be pruned to, formal shapes. Fortunately, this does not destroy their foliage characteristics. There are .tall, medium and low plants in each group of evergreens. So there is little excuse for the common practice of using spruce, fir, and similar tree-like plants for foundation plantings. They look innocent enough when small, but remember that they grow up. If you art planning to plant this fall, get your order in now. The nurseries will fill orders in rotation. ‘ Late Cutting of Alfalft Matter For Careful Thought Alfalfa should be cut late in the season only after a careful choice l^as,,bev J«ad* between future benefits and the present need for ■ & *apmk ■ ■ ■ s* Agronomists-at VPI say cutting alfalfa later 'than three to four weeks before the . average date of the first killing frost does not allow time for maximum food storage before growth is stopped by cold weather. If you cut late, you can expect weaker stands,-reduced yield the next year, and increased winter injury. Since alfalfa will withstand a fairly severe frost, some growth will usually be made up to two weeks to a month after the average date of the first killing frost in the fall.

Grazing or removing a part of the last growth after growth stops in the fall is better than cutting during the critical period of from three to four weeks before the average date of the first killing frost and the time growth stops. The agronomists recommend leaving some growth or a mulch for protection of the crowns when alfalfa is cut or grazed after growth has stopped. The problems is one of the most critical in alfalfa management; and is being studied by the VPI Agricultural Experiment Station. ITEMS OF INTEREST TO FARMERS drain sorghums may be the next important hybrid farm crop in America. Hybrid grain sorghum seed is expected to be available to growers in limited quantities for the; first time next spring, U. S. Department of Agriculture scientists say. In the next five years, they expect that most of the more than 10,000.000 acres now annually planted in open-pollinated varieties of grain sorghums may be planted with new superior hybrids. Some experimental field trials have given yields for hybrids that are 20 to 40 over varieties currently in use, a gain at least equal to; that which farmers obtain from hybrid corn. Most noticeably, scientists; have done these things: Dwarfed the stalk. making a plant easier to harvest and handle and less of a drain on plant /ood and water; straight ened up the goosenecked head, also a handling advantage brought out varieties resistant to root-rot (periconia) ; and, very important, cut down the time of maturing. Fall treatment of tobacco plant1 beds will help in control of weeds and many soil organisms. 'S. B. Fcnne, plant pathologist at VPI, recommends fumigation with methyl bromide. The material may be used either in the fall or in the spring, but it should not be used on soil that is very wet or extremely dry. Many farmers, he said, have been overlooking the recommendation for fall fumigation, then running into serious difficultes because of bad weather in January and February. Fall treatment is advised because farmers have a wide choice of dates, and because^ with little or no vegetation in the plant bed. the fumigant can go to work maximum effect. The treatment is most effective when weed seeds have a high moisture content. Methyl bromide should not be used if the temperature of the soil at a 4-inch depth is below 50° F. Best results are obtained when the temperature is above 60°. Circular 437, “Tobacco Plant Bed Management.” gives complete details on using methyl bromide. Ask your county agent for a free copy. .*' I Prussic acid poisoning of livestock may result if Sudan grass is grazed after a frost, warn VPI specialists. Sudan and sorghums have prussic acid present at certain stages of growth. The concentration is higher during early stages, and in new growth that may occur after • frost. By the time sudan has reached a heighth of 18 inches under normal conditions, the prussic acid content is low enough to permit grazing without injury to animals. After a frost or freeze however, new growth that occurs is likely to contain an extremely high content o£prussic acid. If frosted sudan grass was safe to use before the frost, that is if it was 18 inches tall or taller, it can be used for hay or silage if cut immediately after the frost before new shoots have a chance to start.

Insect Pests On the Move Corn earworm infestations anddamage to soybeans seem to hav£ dropped considerably, but farmer* are advised to keep on'the alert for another brood of larvae that may yet damage the late crop. Arthur P. Morris, associate enj tomologist at VPI, says corn earworms continue numerous on snap and lima bean crops in eastern areas, and are present to a lesser extent on peppers. Many insects are causing concern on forest trees, shade trees, and ornamental plants. It is quite! late in the season to apply control measures this year, but watch thej plants for the first signs of infesta-j tions next spring, and apply con-j trols at the proper times, Morris advises. iAnts, clover mites, crickets and! European hornets are appearing ini homes across the state. Box-elder 'bugs will soon start entering sonje homes in search of winter hibernation sites. It will be better to control all these pests both outside homes and where they have already entered now if possible to eradicate the infestations before cold weather. j Several kinds of insects are damaging truck crops in eastern Virginia. Fall armyworms, yellowstriped armyworms, cutworms and loopers are doing severe Injury to cabbage and - kale crops. Leaf miners are worse than usual on cucurbits. Pickleworms are starting to infest fall plantings of cucurbits, and are doing seveite damage to some varieties of pum kins. When someone offers you something valuable for little or nothing it's time for you to remember that the price may be too high.

That’s the warning of home equipment specialistsin the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Though hot water would do the ’job quicker, it’s taboo because refrigerant pressure would build up in the evaporator and cause difficulty in starting the compresspr. | If summer heat and humidity left your home freezer with a big deposit of frost—even ice—follow these defrosting instructions: Defrosting should be done when more than one-half inch of frost Jias accumilated over a large area of refrigerator surfaces. And, if you can, defrost when the quantity of food in the freezer is relatively low. » About 12 hours before you begin the job, turn the temperature control of your freezer jto its coldest position so that the food won’t thaw as quickly when you are defrosting. | If no ice has formed, merely scraping the surfaces with a spatula, putty knife ,or similar tool while the freezer is running will be satisfactory. Ice, however, calls for more work. Remove all food packages and disconnect the freezer. Food packages should be placed compactly on chilled trays or in chilled baskets. Chilled blankets or other insulating material should be wrapped around the trays or baskets of food. Then work rapidly to get the defrosting done before the frozen foods start to thaw.

An electric fan blowing room air into the freezer or add air out of it will help. Removing ice as it loosens also speeds defrosting. But don’t chip it off with a sharp tool which might damage the liner or coils. - j ^ Liners should be cleaned with a solution of 1 tablespoon of baking soda' to 1 quart , of lukewarm water.
