RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 BASIL C. BURKE, JR., Owner ROBERT E. MANY, Editor and Publisher Mrs. SARAH LATHAM, Business Manager Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) . 22.50 PER YEAR " UP TO THE STATES President Eisenhower belongs to that fast-growing group of authorities who believe that one way to bring abut tax reduction is for the states to assume responsibility for some of the costly activities that are now carried on by the federal governmentThe President proposes a “task force for action” which would have a three-pronged job: 'To dseignate function* which the states are ready and willing to assume and finance, that are now performed or financed wholly or in part by the federal government; to recommend the federal and state revenue adjustments required to enable the states to assume such function ; and to identify functions' and responsibilities likely to require state or federal attention in the future and to recommend the level of state effort or federal effort, or both, that will be needed to assure efective action.” As specific examples of programs in which there should be greater state participation, the President cited slum clearance and disaster relief. It is an obvious fact that the federal government can only spend money which it has first taken from the people and the enterprises of the states. It is also a fact that a substantial proportion of that money is absorbed by federal admin* istrative overhead—and that in most instances the states would get more concrete return out df each dollar if they did the work themselves. Moreover, the money saving, important as it is, would be only a part of the benefits that would result. If the states knew they had to do their own financing, they’d examine spending proposals with much more critical eyes—instead of seeking government aid for all manner of unnecessary projects. Then, best of all, there would be reaffirmation of the largely forgotten principle that local needs should be met so far as possible by local action-a principle which lies at the Heart of free, representative government. FEET OF CLAY A gentleman from the Pacific Coast who had to spend some time in Washington, D. C- recently, trying to get cnsideratoin of needed harbor improvements for his community. came home a disillusioned man. He said: “Every move made in Washington is based on politics first—facts second.’’ That is a pretty rough statement but the evidence leads one to believe that is not too much exaggerated. A late and glaring example is the very evident swapping of votes by the “Civil Rights”—“Hell’s Canyon” Senators to pass their pet bills. Apparently principles involved in both issues were of secondary consideration-lawmakers on either side could change their votes as easily as a snake can shed its skin. :t is a sad experience for a citizen to see the feet of his public servants whom he has considered a cut above ward politicians, suddenly turn to clay. Who would knowingly have dealings wth a man who followed these tactcs in private business transactions? ' letter to the EDITOR 1 Those attending the Methodist Camp from July 8-Id from Washington. Sperryville and Flint Hill were Joan ?nd Joyce Nethers, Bettv Jean Settle. Paula Miller. Eleanor Atkins, I>oris Atkins, Julian Brown, Shirley Brown, Jean Lil’iarj; Frances Foster and Mvrla Anu'U pdike. Ihere were three daises which we attended each day. Thev were a class in the study of M. V. F.. one in Bible study, and one in handicraft. During the afternoon we went swimming and had recreation. We had Vesper services after breakfast in the morning and after dinner at night. We all enjoyed a hike which we rook on Wednesday and Thursday up the White Oak Canyon Trail which leads up to the Skyline Drive. After dinner each night, we had group singing, square dancing, and recreation. We had a wonderful group of counselors. Everyone who attended this veal said they had a wonderful time. The highlights of our worship service was on Friday night when everyone attended a candlelight communion service which was a real inspiration to each and everyone who attended. Mvrla Ann Updike I Rapp - Chats ; By W. H. LYNE ' County Agent / A Suffolk consigned by Willow Brook farm of Front' Royal topped the Winchester Purebred Ram Sale held Monday at $135.00. Two rams, a Suffolk and the Champion Hampshire consigned by Owens Thomas of Round Hill brought $11 5.00 each. Considering the quality of the offering prices were considered reasonable. Eight Suffolk rams averaged $88.75, while the ave.rage of the 17 If amps was $76.32 with the 4 Shropshires selling at $61.87 each. Tlie U. S. D. A. has announced, that shorn wool payments under the 1056 Incentive Program will amount to 40% of the dollar returns each producer received from the sale of shorn wool during the 1C)S6 marketing year. The payment rate on sales of unshorn Iambs to compensate for the wool on them will be 71c per hundred weight of live animals sold. According to the “National Wool Clip’' ASC county offices will begin ntaking incentive payments this month on the basis of the application filed on or before April 30th. Obviously surface soil moisture is becoming critically low, however, pastures and crops in most of Rappahannock are lush compared to those in the pirts of Orange and Culpeper which I have seen. To date pasture is critically short in some sections of theBcounty and corn is beginning to curl. If high temperatures and ' low humidity’ continues through next Week or ten days yields of corn, fall hay and apples could be decidedly reduced and cattle owners may be forced to commence feeding. “Never before has there been a time when hog producers can justify thej purchase of good breeding stock as now. They can see the $ value bf quality hogs at the market plat*e. as well as on their table.” These are the words of Rqi Gjodsev. Swine Specialist of Virginia Tech. The only purebred ho<r breeders we know of in Rapnahannook County are our 4-M hdvs: (iuv Standish of Castleton, Mike Vest.

Others are diplomats, couriers, for■ eign aid program personnel or members of Congressional investigative or study missions. How much of this travel is essential ? How much can be branded fairly as joyriding on public funds? Under the present federal accounting system with respect to travel expenditures, it is not easy to get the answers to these questions. Unquestionably, it is necessary for us to spend large sums of money to move our military personnel among the many bases we operate around the globe, to send men home on leave and to send forth replacements. In addition, our farflung foreign aid establishment and our hundreds of diplomatic posts produce a recognizable need for considerable official travel. If a bureaucrat takes a plane for steaming Burma in the rainy’ season or for .Greenland in midwinter it is reasonable to assume thar legitimate government business, rather than a desire for carefree, cost free travel, has lured him from his native-heath. On the other hard, heavy official travel to Ha vana in January might produce raised eyebrows. From time to time, Congressional committees studying the expenses of federal bureaus have found flimsy excuses being used for official travel by bureaucrats of high and low degree—and by military brass. There have been indications that weather conditions in Washington at a particular season influenced the planning of an “inspection trip’’ or “conference” in a distant clime. Homebound taxpaying citizens can be pardoned too. for grumbling when they read, during the adjournments of Congress, that fixe Senators have just landed in Paris, or that a like number of Representatives have reached Rome, with the purposes of their visits treated vaguely in the press dispatches. In general, the citizen outside of government has little basis fpr determining whether a particular trip is justified or not. Because members of Congress apparently are considered ‘‘newsworthy, their travels are likely to be reported more faithfully than those of the assistant foreign aid adnvnisfrator in charge of free pogo sticks for Hottentots, and it tun: be possible for the latter to ston off on the French Rivera, unnoticed. for a few weeks of “consul tatiops.” The fact remains, however, fhar there is. at present, no detailed public accounting of either Congressional or Executive travel—nr for that matter, of travel bv members of the Judicial Branch. TV resnlr is that taxpayers can pav unknowingly for trips of convenience rather than necessity, and AUCTION SALE Personal property of the late Wm. F.

Dear Editor: 1 would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude, anil 1 feel sure this feeling is shared by all members of the Washington Fire Department, to the Ladies 'Auxiliary of our Community. As one of the earliest members. 1 remember our early struggle to get organized and to raise money for the equipment that we needed. Then with the organization of the Ladies Auxiliary, this job became easier. Not only are we grateful for the hours of toil that they so graciously contributed, but for the moral support we received knowing that our wives, daughters, and other ladies of the communities were working along with us for a common purpose. Our Washington ladies seem to know how to most effectively raise needed funds and at the same time give the community interesting and varied entertainments in the process. In our own projects, we can, always depend on the needed ladies' touch to make them successful. Not only do the ladies contribute so generously of their time and talents all year, they also honor us with a delightful banquet each winter. I feel that it is time that we pay honor to them, at least in word, for their years of • devoted service, and express the hope that we may continue to work side by side in the future.

A Diazion-DDT schedule permits the use of sprays containing DDT up to a 14-day limit on apples and pears with exceeding the DDT residue tolerance of 7 ppm. Normally, full strength DDT sprays cannot be used closer than 40 days before harvest on apples and 30 days before harvest on pears. ON APPLES. Diazinon proides outstanding control of Apple Maggots and Codling Moths, including those Codling Moths resistant to chlorinated insecticides. Effectively controls Rosy Apple Aphids* Green Apple Aphid s. Woolly Apple Aphids, San Jose and Forbes Scale Crawlers. ON PEARS. Diazinon effectively controls Codling Moths. Pear Psylla, Aphids, San Jose and Forbes Scale Crawlers. ON CHERRIES. Diaz in on gives positive control of Cherrv Fruit Flies, Rlack Cherry Aphids, and San Jose Scale Crawlers. 1 Suppresses Afites In addition, Diazinon or Piazinon-DPT schedules recommended for control of the abov»insects tend to suppress the buildup of mites so that applications of a miticide will often not be necessary. Safety Factor Diazinon is relatively safe to humans and domestic animals in comparison with the highly toxic organic phosphate insecticides. However, a 11 organic phosphates are cholinesterase inhibitors and the precautionary measures shown on the labels should be followed closely. Economy Due to the effectiveness of Diazinon formulations against such a wide variety of insects, the Piazinori-DDT fruit insect control schedule is one of the most effective and economical fruit spray programs available. Since this combination controls practically all the major fruit insects and also suppresses mite infestations, it is not necessary to use several different insecticides to control the various insect species attacking fruit. This means a saving in pesticides, time and labor, which in turn means lower fruit production costs and, therefore, increased profits. Weekly Fnrm Price Outlook (This is thr nay Prospects for, 1’irginia fnrm prices looked to the I irginia Department of Agriculture on Friday_ The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and hr right alt the time.) FGGS Fug prices arr moving into the uphill swing normal for this time of vear. and continued gradual nick up is thr outlook for the next morph or so. June figures show the same "urnhe- of layers as last year, but new figures on pullet numbers aren’t out yet. Richmond price at the end of • week was 4<lc for Grade A I Roanoke 36 to 37c and !1 arr'sonburg, 36c. HOGS We think hog prices will have a few minor ups and downs for a short while, before the seasonal trend downward gets underway. Slaughter is at low ebb right new an,| due to begin moving up anytime. As we said earlier, the price dechne should be gradual, and on a higher level than last year. So we don't forsee any need tor rushing hogs to market be to re they reach prime marketing condition. The preferred weights are in rhe 1 to 225 pound range. Price' :t the end ot last week: Richmond yards, up 75c at $20.75 to $$21.25; Virginia auctions, up nearly $1 to $20.K5 average Western markets, up 50c at $21 to $21.25; and Baltimore, up $1.!>I* to a $22 top. WHEAT Newest figures on the wheat crop confirm our prediction that the post-harvest price rise should come maybe 2 to 3 months earlier than last year. So it looks even more advisable to hold on to good quality wheat in dependable storage. The July I forecast showed a drop of from June 1 putting total U. S. production around ft^r below last year. Virginia production is expected to be around JOOr below last rear, with most of that drop due to a 30/r lower yield per a re this year . . . 21 bushels to the acre average against 2-7 bushels last year. Acreage is down only about 8^,'. This will be Virginia's smallest crop since 188S. Current Richmond price. $2.02. \\WY //////✓ 'jvESTOCK MA Rtf.
