YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS fir Rei. Burr P. Harrison Washington—May 27. now has been Well publicized as! the date ^on which the grim' Berlin crisis WiU reach its climax. At that, time, Soviet Russia intends to* turn over - control of all traffic entering Beilin to the East German Government_a puppet regime which the United States does not recognize. -The-situation contains elements of terrible danger, combining into a real possibility of aimed conflict, , either localized or catastrophic general war. Needless to say, the most, earnest diplomatic efforts of th^ nation.of the Free World are being expended to preserve this planet from nucear scourge. It is probabe, too, that the Kremlin does not want war at this time. After all it has been making good progress toward its objectives without direct engagement in bdftje, *nd it knows Russia could not beprott**ed fully from our retaliation in case a Soviet attack were launchedThe peril, then, is that one side or the other might stumble into war through a miscalculation of the opponent's determination and capacity. We have made plain that we Intend to continue rrnd'ng military and civilian syppl'cs to West _Berlin. Except during the airlift of 1949, vve have been using rail a n d highway” corridors through Communist-controlled East Germany to reach Berlin from the ' free nation . which is West Ger-f. ■ many. 'There have been squabbles I CUSTOM / PICTURE FRAMING BLUE RipGE HARDWARE Warren ton. Va. from time ta time, but the Russians, who ha’ve manned these routes to Berlin have been nernvtting us to pass. Beginning May 27, the Russians say, it will be up to the East German regime to decide whether or not we may pass. Area’s*; prepared for a showdown which might produce war? President Eisenhower, in submitting to Congress his budget figures for the new fecal year, used language of confidence in outlining progress in weapon development and in streamlining our armed forces for icreased mobility and firepower. - “This budget assures that essential defense needs are met,” Mr. Eisenhower said. In die budget, of course, the President was dealing with spending plans for a fiscal year which will not begin until July 1. Not everyone in offical Washington, and, from their guarded statements, not even all of our defense chiefs in the Pentagon, are satisfied that we are doing all we can and should do to deter the Kremlin from the rashness of attack, or to counteract such assult, should it come. These critics, with varying credentials as defense experts, contend that, (a) we should be spending more on Argent research toward more powerful and accurate guided missiles! (b) we should concentrate on I building more at the missiles we now know how to build; (c) we should concentrate on building up our so-call ed ‘^conventional”, or non-nuclear, forces because the chances are greater for a limited war than for an all-out atomic battle, or, (d), t}i|t we should do several of these things plus some others. Be that'as it may, we shall have to depend on what we have if we are forced *nto the eventuality we pray against. Published data ii to the effect that the United States has five divisions of troops in West Germany and that 16 other divisions, composed cf West German, British, French, Dutch, Belgian aand Canadian forces, are available there. .

As to missiles, the weight of published information indicates we do not have many big ones ready to shoot Mr. Eisenhower told Congress : “The Adas intercontinental ballistic missile has successfully completed a full-range test and the first operational Atlas missiles will be at launching sites by the end of the current fiscal year. Additional missiles will be- put in place in 1960. The first units of the intermediate range missile Thor have already been deplbved to the United Kingdom and additional units of both Thor and Jupiter will bo deployed during the next 18 months. Construction already is well along on the first five submarines which will be equipped to fire the Polaris solid fuel ballistic missile, and the. first such submarines will go Ihto operation in the calendar year 1960”. As the crucial efforts to avoid war continue, we can ponder the comments of Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Army chief of staff, made to a Senate committee several weeks ago, when asked if We could face up to a showdown over Berlin: “We have all the strength that is necessary if we are willing to mobilize and do so in time”. Did he mean “mobilize the entire nation?” “Yes”, General Taylor replied, “you cannot play around in this business unless you have a lot of blue chips in your pocket. This is unlimited poker.” , “Blarney” Chances the blarney will be as thick as the shamrocks when the Irish honor St. Patrick on March 17th. But the original “blarney” wa9 an Irish chieftain who proved that you can win even if you lose. When the castle qjF Blarney was besieged by the English, the lord of the manor concluded an armistrice with the English commander. He promised vto surrender the old homestead to an English garrison in Cork on a certain date. .The Englishman waited politely for the terms of the armistice to PITTS’ THEATRE CULPEPER, VA.

Strength One of the great. r Life mysteries of fife is the mystery of pain. Over and over again we tyear people ask why did this have to happen to die, or why did that person have to suffer and die. Maybe we would be better able to understand the pains and disappointment of i life if we would keep one thing ih mind. Every possible blessing is also a possible pain. Let me illustrate. I bought my daughter a tricycle for Christmas last year. I could remember my own childhood and all the joy that came to me as my parents did the same for me and i wanted her to have that same enjoyment. I watched her as she tried to ride the tricycle on the sidewalk. Some time she would turn over and some times it would hurt and she would cry, In a sense you could say I caused her pain, but at the same time I increased the possibility of joy in her life. By giving her the tricycle 1 was allowing her to get hurt, but it was certainly not my will. Of course it would have been different if I had gone out and pushed her and caused her to turn over. Two young men were killed in an auto accident a few weeks ago. When the father allowed die boy to drive, he did not intend that the boy be killed.! No doubt he icould have said, “It is possible for one to be killed in a car, therefore because I love you, I will not let you ride or drive a car”. Orr the other hand the father wanted the boy to have the advantage and pleasure of the ca|r, and thus ho .permitted him to drive. God has provided so many wonderful things to bring us joy. Take the love of people for one another for instance. What joy a child can bring to he hearts of its parents but at* the Same time those we love can also bring great,pain to our hearts. way to avoid Maybe the best pain in a case like this is not to love. But would you change all the joys that come from loving in order to avoid thej pain? I would not and if you think it over I doubt if you would either. So it is, every possible joy is a possible pain. No doubt God meant them to be joys but because of our use or misuse of them we have made them into pain. In order for God to show us ' I • Designed for today's .. . and tomorrows’ most powerful pars.

TO THE 4-H CLUBS OF RAPPAHANNOCK WE WISH TO OFFER YOU CONGRATULATIONS MAC'S GKUuKl WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Why have we such a marked increase in broom-sedge burning this year? Back in 1946-47 it was a very common sight to see flaming hill tops silhouetted against the darkness of night. At that time I could understand why Rappahannock farmers were referred to as “the land burrtingest people in Northern Virginia”. This sort of reputation hurts the pride any county agent has in “his” farmers. We like to write about nice things like to brag about sound practices “our” farmers carry out. Now and then wc must write and talk about the bitter “pills”. This “bitter pill" had almost become an unknown until February 1959! A man from Greene County handed me the first ribbin’. Then came the report from pne of our preachers, “that he’d been about scared out of his wits upon getting the report that one of his churches was afire, which proved to be a broomsedge field fire”. Somehow we got careless or in too big a hurry, I' do myself—and itxost meMJad the kids haul the le^es raked from our yard last fall and spread on a part of thq garden to add organic matter to the soil. Started burning some damp cardboard boxes a few weeks ago on a bare spot and left it...-— along came a gust of wind nickm1* up a burning piece of cardboard, depositing it on the mulcted a:ea All leaves were burned over before my wife got theiire'out? When if” comes to bifrHtngJLthat is when burning trash, brush or refuse of no value_wexan’t be too careful. When it comes to burning broomsedge, there simply is no excuse or sound reason for doing so _to say the least, I haven’t found ■it nor been convinced there is. In fact research has shown: Broomsedge bunting (1) reduces the amount of grazing from the land during the following season (2) it does not get rid of, nor reduce the thickness of broomsedge (3) and further depletes the soil and increases run-off and loss of top soil by erosion. Broomsedge has rightfully been referred to by some people as a blessing......a hardy plant that will afford protective cover when the soil fertility has been allowed to become so low it will not support life or desirable pasture and forage plants. Qf course broomsedge will thrive on fertile soils too, so the “Getting Rid” process involves a combination of practices: (l)Graze according to the capability of the land in question, (2) fertilize and lime according to the needs of die plant or plants you wish to grow and according to fertility level of the*soil in question, and (3) mowing prior to broopisedge formation (just after it sdnds up shoots). Mowing broomsedge in the fall or winter has been proven an uneconomical practice.—die only benefit is that the land looks better. I*f there is a. thick broomsedge sod on die land you wish to replant, and depending upon the steepness of the slope, first lime die land if needed, kill the broomsedge by plowing or discing, (preferably in strips to reduce water run-off and erosion), fertilize and reseed. If die land is too steep to allow* such practices, then it is highly questionable whether the land should be in anything but forests. If (you plain refortstatioti brv steep land thick with broomsedge, it would seem better to get rid of die broomsedge and mouse cower fey using a caterpillar tractor and disc than to burn off the land. Trees need water to make growth.

'• lM55¥^WS?sass Ramblings From Rappahannock BBS Dear Folks. It hard getting started on Monday making my rounds and this happens to be “one of those hard Mondays”. Oh well, it's all in a days work. The races as usual were more fun than a bushel of Monkeys, but it was cold, gosh it was cold! It didn’t seem to stop the folks ifrom far and wide from coming. We had hoped, to tell you about some of the good looking outfits, but everyone was dressed for comfort instead of looks.! * Edward Clop ton was visiting Cousin Gates, Ned and Byrd Jones over the weekend. He came over and chatted with us for a while. And Edward we promise to keep the crooked letter on folk. This is 4-H Club week in Rappahannock County. Lets all wish our boys and girls and their leaders congratulations, and our very warmest wish for "many full years of farming and homemaking. Rudolph Singleton came by tp see us Sunday. He is one of the old-time fox hunters. I know Arthur and Rudolph hunted over ev ery men ot land here and around during the visit, but they had fun. As I sit here in the office looking out the window, I can see signs of spring everywhere. Gardens have been plowed and some folks have planted peas, potatoes, and onions. We see our friends chatting on street corners, and in the yards. It’s good to be out again. It was a long cold winter. The litjrle crocus outside the office are in all their glory, as are the ones in a great many yards in town. The Easter flowers are just about ready to break into bkom. The sun is going to bed much later behind the mountains and waking us all up earlier in die mornings. It’s nice to be in the country where we feel God’s nearness; where the Iambe run and play in the fields. Have you ever stopped to watch little lambs play? Three or four will play together just like children. (It’s a great life, this country life. Its the way to be happy. Well enough for spring, believe I must have a touch of spring fcvci. So until next week folks, Stav happy, E.B.M. Monday, March 9, 1959 Rappahannock News Washington, Virginia P.S. Understand Wade and Country' Jack will be home this Week end.

'not prevent it ifrom coming baik and lessens water holing capacity of the soil. In conclusion I am reminded of the story of the rugged individualist who, having heard his minister preach on soil stewardship, repeatedly asked the minister, “why he couldn’t do to his land what he pleased? He had paid for it, he paid his taxe&._it was his own land and nobody’s else..why shouldn’t he do with it as he_well pleased?” In response the minister replied, “Meet me right here 100 years from now and 'I’ll answer that question.” G. M. Black, President of Rappahannock Artificial Breeding Association has announced that thd breeding fee charged for first services will be reduced to $6.00 per cow commencing May |st. Since the service was first offered some five or six years ago the breeding has ben $7.00. Gordon Thornhill will continue as technician. 1958 was one of the best years the* Association has had having 412 “first (services” and approximately 7 5 % conception rate on (first service. This conception rate is exceptionally good and as a result cow owners using the service are exceptionally pleased with Mr. Thornhill’s work. Reduction in the breeding fee was made with the belief that: (I) more tanners will breed more cows which will compensate for the one dollar reduction, and (2) those already using the service will be better satisfied as they will be getting it as cheap as any where in the state. The 1959 goal—a minimum of 600 ‘‘first services." As for your scribe’s experience with the service_...Gordon has serviced my cow three times in three years..for a 100% conception on first service!
