For several years many people in Rappahannock hvae been concious of the need of a dentist in the county. During this school year die need has grown greater for it has been most difficult to find a ren| tist who could give appointments j to school chidren. As you know the practice has been to have a school bus take a load of children weekly to Culpeper to get their work donb. Last year was the first year this service had not been offered school children. Also it was hoped when children reached high school age, they could get a dental appoint* ment ion their own. It is now impossible to get dental appointments for a group of children of any age at any one time.At the beginning of the 1955-56 session at RappaHhnnock High School there were : 325 children, including those . in grades with dental defects. At the | end of the year but 40 children had their dental defects corrected. What are the conditions in other schools of the county? The schools are faced with a real problem....dental carr.j ] In fact anyone in our county has great difficulty finding a dentist ; who can give them an aooointmrnt in less than six months. ting an appointment, residents find they have to travel a distance of 20 to 50 mies. Defective teeth may not only cause discomfort directly but, as many people realize can result in other physical ills. AH of this points to a need for a dentist in Rappahannock. On February 22nd the State Health Department will make a dental survey in the county checking the teeth of each child present in Rappahannock schools. With the health department group will be a young dentist who graduated last month. ‘He has requested the State Health Department let him work with them for five or six months for experience. We understand he wishes to locate in Virginia. In the next week’s issue of the Rappahannock News >vil appear in ad. WATCH FOR IT. If you are interested in having a dentist come to Rappahannock and will give him your support, will you please clip, paste to a postal card or put it in an envelope-and mail to RAPPAHANNOCK HEALTH DEPARTMENT. WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA. By doing so vbu could easily be helping to influence a dentist to open a business here in the county, Dates to Remember by Mrs. W. F. Moffett, Sr. Feb. 8th H. D.

ITEM 1. The need for a building that is, whether or not overcrowding exists in our high school at Washington. Inspection shows that the Rappahannock County High School is crowded now and wil be more crowded for the next four years. After 'this period, according to census'figures of our present grade schools, the Humber of high school students will be gradually reduced. It should be - noted that repeal of the compulsory education law would probably reduce enrollment by 5 to 10%. The rooms in our present high school are poorly arranged. Having, three primary grades in the high school building is a disadvantage to both groupsj The lunch room is sub-standard. The building needs coosiderable repairs. ITEM 2, If found to be crowded the solution that they, would suggest. r Since additional construction before next September is impossible, we ^ s , suggest that the county try to rent additional room nearby. We further suggest that another high school teacher v.-ould improve the matters of instruction and discipline, andtend to reduce confusion in the present . facilities. % ITEM 3. If they determine that a building or buidings should be r , constructed, suggest locations, whether a large building should be built or a series of smaller buildings. .. I e r We believe there is a need for new high school facilities and suggest that the Board of Supervisors and the School Board start on definite plans for same, on property now owned by the County near Flat Woods. We suggest the following order of construction: Grade land, provide ~ v water, build shop immediately; then proceed with class rooms, general f t5; purpose room, and lunch room. , , • ITEM 4. The cost of any building or buildings suggested. The following estimates were secured from the office of our Division Superintendent of Schools. It should be borne in mind that these- are estimates only. . s..

Whether or not a building would have to be built in ac- , ... cordance with state specifications in order to gain aid from the Battle. Fund and approved for the building. < ' . We quote from Rules and Regulations Governing School Construction Fund, as amended April 26, 1951: Acceptable Unit. An Acceptableunit shall include proposed classroom area, including administration; *' • offices, aqequate utility facilities, clinic room and library and the plans. - ' ■must show that provision has been made for subsequent* addition of auxiliary facilities, which may include a gymnasium, an auditorium, and/or cafeteria .if the school board contemplates such additions. A county, town _ or city school board and the governing body shall certify that such county, town or city is able to and will complete construction of an acceptable unit. , 5 _ . . 1 It appears to us that the State Department of Education has definite ideas as o what constitutes an “acceptable unit” for a high school of, • say 275 pupils. However, it does not appear that""it goes so far as to state tiie exact type of building material that shall be used ; for instance, it isour understanding that a cinder Hock building is acceptable. ' — ITEM 6. The possibility of aid from the Battle Fund should it be determined that a small building should be built, that is to say if it was ; tdtermined, (or example .that a shop only should be built at the present “■ time so as to make available the shop building for additional classrooms in the high school at Washington, as has been suggests} by one member of the school board, could the Battle Fund be used for building such a building? . I Money from the Battle Fund can be used for any new construction items except: 1. Purchase of land. 2. Purchase of equipment that b not fastened to the/budding, such as desks. Money can be secured from l ! the Battle Fund for the immediate purpose of grading the landand erecting a shop. However, according to Item 5, above, we would need to furnish assurance that ultimately an “acceptable”unit” would be comi pleted. We have not been able to determine Ac exact length of time allowed for the completion of such a project. The amount now bed irt the Battle Fund for Rappahannock schools is $160, 393.67. According to Item 4, above, total estimated cost of an acceptable unit would be approximately $260,000.00* We suggest that an application be made for a Literary loan of $100,000.00, payable over a period of 30 years. However, we must point out that present applications for money from this Literary Fund exceed by $10,000,000.00 the amount available in > The prsent school debt of our county is $49,900.00 and is being retired at the rate of $3,200.00 per year. When this debt is paid, the county wil have paid off its share of the cost of construction of the George Washington Carver High School. Funds are now available for the purchase of two new busses. Any funds derived from die possible sale of any of die small outlying grade schools will b needed to repair the buildings and equalize the facilities of the remaining grade schools in the county. : ;.-y. - (To be continued next week) V :

MANY Editor* and Publishers Unterad as Second Class Mail at ths Port Office at Washington, Vn. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)____>2.00 PER YEAR Orchard Grass A Double Barreled Crop By IV. H. Lyne, County Agent Orchard grass is a natural in Rappahannock County and what is more it, is the grass seeded most in our pasture and hay crops. Thus we are extensively using it as a double barreled crop and some farmers are wise enough to use it as a “three-possibility” crop, for hay, for pasture, and for seed. It is the opinion of our Agronomy Committee, and your county agent concurs, that we should and can do a better job of fertilization particularly of established stands, as a sound economic investment. Briefly this will mean earlier and later grazing, and increased yields of hay or seed profitably. Now is a mighty good time to be making preparations for either but before deciding what fertilizer. or fertilizers to use, or whether to drop the matter as so much bunk, lets consider what has already been proven for you. 1 refer to the summary- of orchard grass seed production experiment at die Piedmont Field Station 1949-1955 which had as its purpose to determine the value of different rates of fertilization in orchard grass production. Fifty pounds of nitrogen, 48 pounds of phosphoric acid and a like amount of available potash gave a yield of 335 lbs. of seed and 4138 lbs., of hay per kcre as an average for the 1949-55 test period. One hundred ■ pounds of nitrogen and the same amount of phosphoric acid and available potash increased the average yields per acre to 443 lbs of seed and 5204 lbs. of hay. Without the nitrogen the same application of phosphate and potash gave an average yield SQUEEZO MARKER 79c For teachers Students Office and Home use. An easy way to make posters, charts and maps.

CUL PEPER, VA. of but 140 pounds of seed and 1626 pounds of hay per acre. Now how does this figure? With a 20% nitrogen fertilizer selling at $58,00 .per ton and orchard grass costing 38c per pound for every pound of nitrogen you buy at present prices you get about 3 pounds more seed and 35 pounds more hay. In other words for every 14%c you spend for nitrogen you get back $1.14 worth of orchard grass seed. The important thing to do next month or early in March is to get the nitrogen; or die nitrogen phosphorus, and potash on the land. By doing so you’ll get the three way flexibility; either have earlier grazing make a good seed yield or be insured of a greater hay crop. If you are interested only in earlier grazing or hay, then the result summary of the Orange data dictates 400 lbs. of 2-12-12 and 200 lbs. of 20% nitrogen material or 500 lbs. of a 5-10-10 and 125 lbs. of 20% N or better yet about 500 lbs. of a 10-10-10 so you’ll not have to come back with additional nitrogen. If you’re figuring on widening your possibilities of income or just plain know you want to produce seed then put on 250 lbs. of 20% nitrogen in addition to vour 10-10-10. Before time to harvest tor hay or seed Henry Taylors figures on orchard grass seed carryover should give you a pretty sound basis in guessing what the seed will be worth in *5.8.

Feb. 16 Hint Hill 4-H Sewing Class at 1:00 At a special meeting on small fruits and vegetables, Mr. Bruce Aroian Extension Small Fruit specialist suggested every home garden to be complete should have a part set aside for the perennial plants, those that grow year after year without replanting. There should be some small fruit as strawberries and raspberries in this perennial garden. A good many varieties are available but the number of varieties used in the home garden should be limited. Those varieties which have proved most satisfactory in Virginia over a wide range of soils and climatic conditions were: Strawberries—Dixieland Early, Catskill, Pocahontas,. Tennessee Beauty and Robinson. Everbearing strawberries were Superfection, Streamliner and Gem. The everbearing varieties gave the nicest berries and largest quantity when all runners were removed throughout the season and flowers were removed until July. He suggested these be planted in early spring, one foot apart in rows of four. Tendays later mulch with 1 inch of sawdust to help hold in the moisture. | The June berry was recommended to be planted 3 ft. apart which will give ample room for the runners to grow and for cultivation. Blooms should be removed 1st year to insure a sturdier plant. About the time of the first freeze, mulch the strawberry plants with about 3 inches of straw or shredded corn stalks to protect during the winter.

Haywood Tharpe RFD 1 FVont Royal, Va. (CoBtinnad from pmg9 1) litter...count ’em. Needless to say Randall Updike is proud of this sow which will farrow next month. Mr. Clopton was so struck with the general appearance of Randall’s sow and the uniformity of her “first born” he couldn’t resist taking this picture for which we are indebted. Randall turned in a nice gilt pig from this litter, as did the other boys enrolled in 1955-56, to pay for the gilts placed with hm. Thiis gilt was drawn by Mike Vest, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Vest of Flint Hill. 1 Mike too is proud of his gilt and incidently got the top initial scoring on his management, feeding, housing and record keeping job for the first six months of the project. The final scoring will be made after the gilts have farrowed. * Above is Mike’s gilt as she appeared last month. While y^ji couldn’t pick her out as a pig in the litter of 12. Mease note her smoothness throughout, the clean full hams, length of body and ma-mary development. She is due to farrow March 18th. Other boys currently enrolled who will also have pigs to sell are: Lacy Dodson, son of Mrs. Jade Dodson, Terry Davis, son of Mrs. Ora Davis, Marvin Bradford, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Bradford, (all of Flint Hill) and Harrison Powers, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Powers who live near the Kennels and get their mail through Amissville, Virginia. FOR SALE-U. S.
