All declared that they had a wonderful time and had certainly got their money’s worth. The itinerary, which was given in last week’s paper, was carried out to the letter without a hitch, and many places of interest in this huge city of great contrasts were visited. The homemakers, from rural Home Demonstration dubs, had a glimpse of the way, of life of millions of people in a great city. The very rich, the very poor, the elegance of Park Avenue and the revolting atmosphere of die Bowery. According to our guide, who really knew his city, Governor Alfred E. Smith, whose home was on the lower East Side, said,“There’s nothing to equal the smell of the fish markets except politics.’’ Fortunately for those in the party, their “slick bus" didn’t stop in this section only passed through. Longer stops were made in more, pleasant, and inspiring places like the Cathedre! of Sri John the Divine. ' N The entire program Tuesday evening at Radio City Music Hall, showpiece of the nation, will not be forgotten. The high spot of the trip, for practically all of the party was the visit to the United Nations. The group was most fortunate in its guide, a brilliant young student from Pakistan. She was in native costume and spoke our language beautifully. When asked if she had been educated in die states She replied, “no in one of your Mission' Schools in my own country.” It was evident that her reply pleased several in the group and mindful of the spirit of the United Nations surrounding them, not one was heard to ask, **What de-' nomination?" . A? 'i It would be impossible to de-"' scribe the numerous conference rooms with their furnishings from many lands. The mural paintings must tell their own story. One must go see for herself. The United Nations was die last guided tour of the Rappahannock Home Demonstration Club trip. The best was saved for the,; last.- As the bus pulled out, die many flags of member countries around the globe, all flying at the same height,was a colorful and impressive sight, and fodd for earnest thought.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia DIAL: WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE Manager Entered as second-clan mail at the post office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (inadvance)Iff..___ |2.00 a year YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS By Rep. Burr P. Harrison The income of farm operators in the United States has dropped nearly $4,000,000,000 during a three-year period in which wages and salaries have increased $25,000,000,000* the income of busiBess and professional persons has increased $1,600,000,000, and corporate profits after taxes have advanced $5,500,000,000. This is a serious trend for farmers, but is aso a dangerous state oij affairs for the national economy as a whole. When farm income slides so does the purchasing power of farm families, on which our industry depends in substantial measure for its markets. Ahy set of economic circumstances which operates to place agriculture at a special disadvantage in relationship to other groups sharing in the proceeds of the national energy deserves the most Careful* nonpolitical appraisal. Unfortunately the financial problems of agriculture continue to be approached largely on a political basis. Particular attention is directed to areas in which the agricultural activity is concentrated in a single price-supported crop. There are frequent reference to the small family farmer as "the backbone of our agriculture”, but he usually finds little tangible assistance in the farm legislation passed by Congress, or administrative edicts of the Secretary of Agriculture. So it is that the average farmer in the 7th District of Virginia can find small cause for rejoicing in the farm bill sent to the President last week. , The bill carrjed a price tag of more than $3,000,000,000 a year, F^= — -5 which amount would have to bo provided by the taxpayers, including fanners, in addition to well over $2,00,CK),000 a year in price supports and related payments required by existing laws. The relatively few farmers in our area who would receive any direct benefits from the legislation could be pardoned for wondering why this whopping increase in the tax cost) of agricultural “stabilization would net them so little. Last week, the President signed legislation providing for a huge reclamation project on the Colorado River in the West which will bring thousands of and acres into agricultural production at tremendous cost. The 'farm bill then provided new encouragement for maximum production on allotted acreage of the basic price-supported crops by its high rigid supports . But, in direct contradiction of these, the farm bill also set up the soil bank experiment at an inital annual cost of $1,200,000,000 in an effort to take thousands of acres out of production. All the leading farm organizations supported a trial of the soil bank in one form or another, and I was impressed by these indorsements. It was, and is, my thought that the soil bank, as an experiment, might be worth a trial. In the form in which it finally was presented to us in the farm bill, however, it generated doubts and misgivings. I could not find in the costly trial program contained in the bill any substantial advantages for farmers of this area. There appeared no practical way in which a livestock farmer could participate and continue to be a livestock fanner. How could a poultry farmer make land deposits in such a bank ? Unless a fruit farmer ripped out his trees and crossed off an investment of years ill their development how could he withdraw land from production and put it in the soil bank? If the bank actually got into substantial operation in tne grain belt, the principal effect in this area would appear to be increased feed prices for fanners haviW livestock and poultry to feed. Particularly disturbing to me was the broad authority given Secretary Benson to say where and how the $1,200,000,000 would be used, and the instructions given him in the conferees’ report not to hesitate to march a farmer into a Federal court on charges of violating the highly-technical regulations which Washington bureaucrats admitted would be required to administer the bank. As a matter of fact, this patchwork farm bill with such gadgets as its two-priced certificate plan on wheat and its requirements that general farmers be experts on different sets of rules for each commodity if they hoped to stay clear of stiff penalties, forced me to rile conclusion that it was a legislative monstrosity which would be a costly and cruel joke on the farmers of the Valley and adjacent areas of Virginia. Party lines were split on die voting on both the conferees’ bill and the last-minute alternative < whipped up at the instance of Secretetary Benson. The failure was bipartisan. From the standpoint of the farmers of this region, I could not, in good concience, support either misadventure in agricultural legislating.

We won’t try to speak for the automobile industry. But we certainly can speak for Buick. And let us announce in no uncertain terms—it’s the newest thing on wheels. The Styling is-New Sure, it looks like a Buick. But it has a new V-prowed grille that says 1056 and no mistake. The hood’s new—the fender ports are new—the sweepspear is new— and it all adds up to a new sweepahead look that ends in a sassy new slant to the rear contours. But that, friends, is only the beginning. The 1956 Pynoffow* is New It introduces what the engineers call “double regeneration”—which means a doubleactioir take-off. It gives you new, split-second response in the first inch of pedal travel — plus the "switch the pitch* at full acceleration, which no one else has yet approached. The Kith Is Ntw | To coil springs on all four wheels, a brawny X-braced frame, and torque-tube drive, the engineers have added deep-oil shock absorbers to give new softness, new buoyancy, new comfort, and a brand-new “sense of direction* handling response. The Power Is New All 1956 Buicks have new 822rcubic-inch V8s—with record highs in power and compression —with unique new double “Y* manifolding to step up efficiency —with new carburetor “deicing* —and a host of other new feature* to make owning a Buick pure pleasure. * The Thrill it Nm* . f ~ And the surest way for you to find out how right we are, is to sample a 1966 Buick yourself. As we said before, this is the best . Quick yet—by a wide measure— and when you learn the prioes \ were quoting, you’ll know why , this Buick is one of the three best sellers in today’s market..

Ljim County Agant Alfalfa Weevil were found in four out of eight Alfalfa fields in* spected in Rappahannock last week. In every case the larvae were found on the protected or southeastern .slopes and were yet quite small. Growers are advised to be keenly on the alert as this insect is expected to begin its onslaught any day now Dr. J. G. Rowell, entomologist of V. P. I., says insecticide should be applied as soon as most of the alfalfa plant tops show injury. A single, properly timed spray should control the alfalfa weevil. Rappahannock Sup pi y has stocked emulsified Heptachlor which is the only insecticide for controlling the insect that hes been approved by' the Pure Food and Drug people. One fourth pound per acre being the application rate. Mutt Clatterbuck of Flint Hill has agreed to do custom spraying with his low-pressure, low gallonage boom sprayer which type Rowell states is ideal for weevil control. The Rev. J. W.
