' Of course the extent of its value will depend on grower cooperation and the accuracy of their reports. All figures will be summarized and published by counties and areas only. U Rappahannock fruit growers are reminded spray service cards lean,, be sent only to those requesting them. Call Washington, 2231 or write me stating whether you wish to receive the Apple, Peach, (or both) spray cards. Such is required by postal regulations.

nr t YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS TO YOU . . (This is the first of a series of articles in which Mr. Harrison will comment on activities in Congress.) During die adjournment of Congress, 1 did considerable travling in the 7th Congressional District . In talking with citizens in the more than 15 communities I visited, I received expressions of veiws on many subjects- die draft, . education, roads, veterans problems postal service, etc. “We’re reading all the time about the big deficit in the Post Office Department. Why, then, is the • mail box stuffed every day with advertising “junk” mail , that enjoys a reduced postage rate?” I had to agree with these’citizens. As a representative in Congress 1 have had to weigh repeatJ ed requests from the .'President and RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL; WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE Publisher WATCH FOR GRAND OPENING OF Stokes Clothing Store at New Location FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA die Postmaster General for an in* • crease in the 3-cent letter rate against the knowledge that first class mail now earns a profit, ot|ier classes of mail are carried at .loss. ' ? In the fiscal year 1954, for example, the books of the Post Off-J ice Department showed a profit of more than 63 million dollars on first-class mail. Third-class mail which includes the millions of unordered advertising circulars cluttering mail boxes throughout die nation, showed a loss of more than 147 million dollars. There may be justifiable exceptions to a policy under which each class of mail would pay its way, but 1 cannot believe that subsidized transportation of advertising material is one of them. It may be that citizens are willing to support out of their taxes some postal ser-' vices which they desire, but which cannot be provided on a self-supporting basis. I found no sentiment in the 7th Congressional District, though, for raising the 3-cent letter to 4 cents, while continuing a cut-rate " on unsolicited advertising. ,1 am sponsoring in this session of Congress, therefore, a bill to withdraw the third-class mailing privilege from advertising material distributed by establishments engaged in business. The effect would not be to bar advertising from the mails. Direct-mail advertising is a large and legitimate Dla/v oua. j@ay /Moyiatn- ••• !

There would seem to bd no reason, however, for it to use the mails under subsidy of all the taxpayers, when regular business and personal correspondence pays Sts way. at 3 cents an ounce. • There have been claims of great operating economies made in the postal service in the last several years. Careful analysis shows, however, that the bulk of the savings have been bookkeeping trans- , actions. The air mail subsidy to the air lines, for example, no longer-shows up on the books Of the. Post Office. Department. It has. been transferred to the Civil Aeronautics Administration ledgers, «e but the taxpayer still pays it. Similarly, the great volume of mail sent out by the Federal agencies without stamps formerly was carried as a loss item on the Post Office Department records. Now, each Federal agency is required to set up a postage item in its budget and pay this amount to the Post Office Department. Obviously, this arrangement does not mean an actual saving to the taxpayer His taxes continue to pay the postage of various agencies. As to economies m the handling of the mails, the complaints reaching me indicate that many of these savings are small in dollar amount, but involve substantial reductions in postal service in small communities and rural areas. Taxpayers resent, very proprly, waste in any governmental operations. I believe they feel even more strongly, however, their objections to subsidizing functions from which they do not benefit, such as the transportation of junk mail. ,j I am not a member of the House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, to which my bill will be referred, but I will do my best to obtain active consideration . of it FLINT HILL 4-H NIGHT CLUB MET WITH JEAN LILLARD The 4-H Night club met in the home of Mias Jean Lillard Monday night, with eight members present and two adult leaders.

RAPP-CHATS By: W. H. Lyna County Aftat With many of the qualifying A.S.C. practices regarding the application of both lime and fertilizer being based on soil tests and the crop to be grown, and especially the number of farmers involved the methods being used in taking soil samples has me much concerned. In fact I’m very much disturbed because it is evident that something is wrong somewhere. In casse where no lime and no fertilizer have been applied in the past three years results of tests should not be high in Ph, calcium, magnesium, phosphoric acid or potash. Also test results should not be low where liberal applications of these materials have been made in recent years. Yet results are coming in daily showing results that one would expect to be too high or tOQ low while about half are the results that you would expect. This half-way business frets me. I plan to get repeat samples myself from the same fields that test results were received on yesterday. After asking questions on soil sampling proceedures employed by the farmers concerned and getting another test we should know with a fair degree of accuracy whether the WATCH FOR GRAND OPENING OF Stokes Clothing Store at New Location FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA mistake is being; made on die farm or in the labratory at V. P. I. Ill let you know the results through this column but right now it appears mud) work needs be done on teaching people how to take a soil sample. Certainly no test is better than the manner in which the soil sample was taken. Hold open Friday, February 3. W. J. Nichols Jr. of the V, P. I. Ag. Economics Department is to lead a discussion oh "Federal. Income and Self-employment Social Security Taxes” as applicable particularly to fanners. It is reported that the late D.

WEEKLY FARM PRICE HOGS It will probably pay to hold off selling hogs until next week anyway. Virginia markets were steady up to last week while Baltimore and western markets were 25 to 50 cents lower under the influence of post-holiday marketings. This usually means that Virginia prices will dip. After this week, prices should begin a gradual rise totaling perhaps 75 cents to $1 a hundred by the end of the month, but not more than that. If you can get that much more on a temparary rise before the end of the month, better take it. Storage holdings will be unloaded with any rise, tending to hold prices down. I Hog marketings are about two weeks past the peak of the Spring pig crop, but slaughter is still running 15$ above the same time last year. Virginia’s auction average was $12.70 last week, with Richmond yards at $12.50 to $12.75 and Baltimore at $13. The top of the principal midwestern markets was $11.75 to $12. BROILERS There’s not much improvement in sight for broiler prices for the next two or three weeks. They will do well to hold their present 20 to 21-cent level. * There certainly will be no rise like the one of last January. Chief reason is steadily increasing supplies of broilers right on through February and into March. Supplies are now about 25% above last year’s exceptional low and still rising at over a million a month. Several markets over the nation reported receipts getting ahead of demand. The big question mark is what will happen to demand during the coming cold weather. Unusual demand kept prices up last summer and fall despite record supplies. Prices have been reflecting this uncertainty, bouncing around since well before Christmas as though looking for a place to settle. If you’re producing eggs for broiler hatching, take special care with the flock during the next few months. There fa a shortage of hatching eggs right* now instead of the usual surplus at this time of year, and by spring, there probably will be a real shortage of layers. EGGS Egg prices probably will hold for another week or ten days, but the usual price break is overdue. Ordinarily it comes in November. Prices are nearly twice what they were last year at this timeand production is almost the same. Usually strong consumer demand apparently has been resisting alt attempts at a price break. Also, there have been no hatching eggs turned into market egg channels; i . . New York has shown some weakness in recent weeks, but'its too early to tell whether this indicates a downward trend. Grade A large were 60 centsJn Richmond Jast week, 58 in the Valley and 59 to 62 in Roanoke. New York topped at 63 cents, after the drop before New Years Day. CATTLE A good bet is to sell off anything that will make a vealer now. Just be sure it will make veal—180 to 200 pounds milk fed. Virginia auction prices on veal reached $27.75 per 100 pounds last week, $2 above the week bejfore Crristmaa. Some vealer^ brought as much as $35. That makes a 200-pound veal calf worth more than the cow. * At that price, it might pay to finish some beef calves with dairy blood as veal instead of feeding them out. But be careful. If the calves go as heavy slaughter calves 200 to 400 pounds, instead of veal, the price is only $16 to $24. If you plan on selling some veal, do it before'the end of the month if possible. Veal prices usually hit a peak at the end of-January or first part of February and then drop off sharply. If you plan on buying some cattle to finish on grass this year and you have some feed, it’s a good time to start looking for feeders. You wont find prices any lower this season. Stockers and feeders in Valley markets were bringing $15 to $19 last week. Chicago prices were $17 to $18 for good and low choice. Social Security News There are some very important dates just ahead for most self' employed farmers, Robert E. Parsons, Assistant Manager of the Alexandria social security office, declared today. ' i He was referring to persons self-employed in any kind of agricultural enterprise, either alone or in a partnership or joint venture,, who had net earning* of at least $400 in 1955. They are requird to report those earnings up to a total of $4,200 for the year and pay 3 percent social security tax. Earnings for 1955 are the first that farm operators and other agriculturalists who work for themselves are required to report for social security purposes. The report must be iinade and . the social security tax paid along with the 1955 Federal income tax return not later than April 15 1956. Parsons pointed out that this is mandatory regardless of whether the' self-employed farmer owes any income tax for 1955. This would be the case if a farmer had four exemptions and net earnings for the year of less than $2,400. If that fanner’s net earnings were as much as $400 in 1955, however, he has an obligation to fill out ahd file a return and pay the social security tax.
