Nineteen counties were represented at this banquet which was sponsored by Cities Service Oil Company. Mr. Harry Dunn, Disrict representative of the Cities Service Oil Company, made the presentations.

Saunders, ‘4-H leaders; Miss Ruth Stevens and Randall Updike, Couny All Star members; and the county Extension Staff.

C. E. Johnson Makes Report On Apple Conference \ According to C. EL Johnson, Director, Virginia Farm Bureau, who was in Columb -i, Ohio for die AFBF National Apple Con- ' derence, the-meeting was quite a success. His report of the pneeting follows. Total attend iqoe was about 65. Seventeen apple states were represented, ranging from Maine to Virginia and west to California, Oregon and Washington. The principal states not represented were Massachusetts and North CaroPna. AH* told, about 90% of our commercial apple crop was represented. V T 3 program started at 9 am.

The meet-; tng closed with with an address on “The Road Ahead”. The meeting was interspersed with discussions, principally on matters of marketing, and promotion. ■ The geneal conclusion was thatthe meeting should be held in early March of cadi year. Since most State Horticultural Societies meet; from December to February, they would have on opportunity to instruct their delegates as to what should be brought up at the Farm. Bureau meeting. ■ ■ : " V' " -If' ‘ ' ■. *. ; Suggested services the Farm Bureau might perform were as. follows 1. Continue to represent the apple growers on legislative matters in Washington, D.C.; 2. Hifore the 1960 Federal Budget is approved, check on addiional research in apples and apple products. ; 3. send to each State Horticultural Society just what it; Would mean to have applesincluded in commodities under Federal Marketing orders? 4. Work with chain stores’ top officials ‘on policies and mark-up of fresh apples; 5. Bn connection with ,No. 4 above, work for lower mark-ups On all “Abundant Foods” with attention to additional sales made by such marketing practices.

All the good folk who have been Complaining, criticizing, defaming and causing a general uproar about'the manner in which the business of Rappahannock County is being conducted, come forth with your solutions now. You can urge competition for the incumbents. Lets see what you have to offer. You are the voters; the ones who elect the. officials. Make your choice this year. In other words put up or shut up! S. L. YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS ^ B R.eb, Bwr P. Harris** Washington—l^unng the Easter recess of the Congress, I have been visiting a number of communities in the Seventh Congressional District and talking informally with citizens. I have, found concern about the wtorld situation, particularly the Benin crisis, and a continuing interest in the prospects of cutting down on federal spending iit non-defense items. Few of tthe regular appropriation bills have come out of committee yet, but it might be of interest to review the action taken so far in the House of Representatives on these bills. The first to come up for a vote was the one carrying money to run the government of the Disttrict of Columbia during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1959. The House followed the recommendations of its Appropriations Committee and approved a bill provid* ing $237 million, of which $45 million would go for construction projects. This amount is $33 million above the District of Colum-( bia appropriation for the present Fiscal year, but $9.5 million less than recommended in President Eisenhower’s budget. The next appropriation bill to be considered in the li use was the one carrying funds for the Treasury and Post Office Departments. Again, the A-*' mriasions Committee recomme ’ l.uions werefollowed, and it s Voted to give these departmt $4.6' billion$518 million r - -e than the 1959 fiscal year figi- c. but $60 million less than requested by President Eisenhower. In the debate on this bill, the House was given figures illustrating the scope of the postal service.-more than .540000 employees; more than 41,000 owned and 4,700 rented vehicle:; travel of more than 1.6 million miles a day by 31JX) rural carr’r-s; 1.4 million . miles of daily t el by 2,400 mail trains; 2.1 million miles of daily travel by highway post offices and star routes. Following the Treasury-Post Office appropriation, the House passed the* bill for the Interior L'cp..i .mm As voted, this bill curriedi $23 million less than the Interior bill for the current fiscal year, and $19 million less than asked by the President. Reductions ere made in money for consruction of parkways in the vicinity of Washington, D. C, but there were increases in the money for campground, trailer park and picnicking facilities in the national parks. Just before the Easter recess began, the House voted a supplemental appropriation bill. This one, unlike the other three, carried money for the balance of this fiscal year, rather than for the new fiscal year. The total was $2.5biJlion— $285 r.ullion less than Mr. Eisenhower requested. In this instance, the House voted to put back into the bill $100 million of the $225 million in additional money for the Development Loan Fund asked bv the President. The Appropriations Committee had decided that mis extra money was not needed at this time by the fund, which is a part of the, foreign aid program and lends money to ^thery countries. President Eisenhow'er's spokesmen insisted that, while it might be true relatively little of the money previously appropriated for the fund actually had been spent, mast of it had been obligated by formaldoan i agreements or informal tnjle rstandings. Mr. Eisenhower also wants $700 million more for this fund for the new fiscal year. - The four appropriation bills, as voted by the House, provide approximately $373.5 million less than requested by Mr. Eisenhower. Of course, these reductions are subject to further consideration in the Senate. Historically, some of the items stricken out in/the House are restored there, and the appropriation bills eventually sent to the White House represent compromises between the House and Senate versions. In connection with the budget situation, the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation released last week estimates by its staff experts that the Treasury’s tax incone in the fiscal year which come’, to a close June 30 will be $1.1 billion less than the President predicted in his January budget message to Congress, and the revenue for the fiscal year beginning July 1 will be $13 less than the President’s forecast.

After we read the paper we pass it along r the journalism class in our high rchool, now studying various newspapers printed f ropi all over the United States. We were especially interested interested in the Mystery Farm n'cture of the February 19th issue. This was the farm, now owned by Mrs. Earl Combs, called “Mountain View”, formerly owned by my husband’s great-great grandfather, Captain Joseph Botts, who built the house there about 1800. Of the children of Captain Joseph Potts and his wffe Jane Ford, 3 stirs moved more than a hundred years ago to Missouri, bringing their wives and families: Peyton Botts married Elizabeth Lewis r Armistead T. Botts married Martha E. Spiller; James Ford Botts married Margaret P. Kinsey, the last being my husband’s great grandparents. We recall how gracious Mr. and Mrs. Combs were tc us when we appeared (unanncunced!) at “Mountain View" op a vacation trip some years ago. Mr. Combs showed us his copy of “My Rappahannock Story Book”, written by cousin Dolly Hite (a most delightful person!). We obtained a copy of this bode, and have practically worn it out reading it re-reading it and referring to it for all kinds of data and information. I even tried to figure, out from it who E.B.M. is who writes such facinating and interesting letters each week called “Ramblings From Rappahannock”! which we thoroughly enjoy. I am enclosing a check for our renewal of your fine paper, with credit to go to the senior class. Our son Tom is a senior in our high school here and we know so well how much these money-making schemes mean to them.

jj'or Life buildett' « new .Strength "When thou house, then thou shait nuke k. battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.” Deuteronomy 22:8. „j This scripture! refers to a parapet or low wall which was built on oriental housetops as a safety measure to prejvent falls. In a broad sense of die word, these homes were fortified by the presence of these walls. What is a home? According to Webster it is a social unit crated by a family living together. To meet God’s standard for a home, mere physical unity is not suffi cient. It must be as well. While we -today do not need the literal walls around our homes for protection, yet there are many "ramparts” that we can and should use the physical and the home. Firet of all, a established in every home. In his day Joshua said, day whom ye sha in spiritual unity to preserve both spiritual unity of religion must be Choose you this 1 serve_whether the Lord or other gods,” meaning the false idolatrous gods of his day. Home can be an entirely different place depending on whether we serve God or cater to the things! that are ungodly.; The relationship of the Sunday School, and church to the home is very important. We maintain our! physical fitness ty eating nourishing foods. Without food we would be sickly and eventually die. The same is true spiritually. In order to! remain healthy we must partake of spiritual food, and the place to Meat and Two Vegetable* 8 Sc WHILE SHOPPING IN FRONT ROYAL HAVE LUNCHEON AT THE Blue Ri RESTAURANT Front Royal, Va. S.

J Edgar Hoover, head of the F.B.I., had thisto say concerning the effectiveness of the training received in Sunday Schools. "A child that is brought up in Sunday School is very seldom brought up in court." The appalling thing is that four out of five Americans do not attend Sunday School regularly. This figure indudes 28 million children, 22 million youth and 73 million adults. If our faithfullness to church and Sunday School as any indication, then we .Americans are not doing much to keep the United States a Christian nation, • Prayer can be defined as communion with God. As such it is an important "embattlement" for the home. Enoch was called the man who walked with God because he maintained a close relationship with God. Cannot we t credit at least part of his success as a homemaker 'to his faithfullness to commune with God? What part, if ,any, Joes the Bible play in the home? In the very beginning God instituted the home by the creation of Adam and Eve. In the cool of each day Ho came to talk wih them in the gar den. In other words, He was giving them the truth concerning! Himself. Today we have the truth concerning God in the Bible. It is God’s “measuring-stick” for our , lives. The degree to which we adhere to its teachings determines how God must deal with us, both now and in eternity. A parable in Matthew (7:2527) tells of two.homes. One home was built upon the sands. As the floods came this home was beaten to pieces and fell. The second home was built upon a rock. It too was buffeted by the storms but it did not fall. It Was firmly built" and fortified from the storm. What of your home? Will it withstand the tests of the storm of life or will it be beaten to pieces and fall? Serving God,, attending church, reading the Bible and praying daily will make the difference between a home that will withstand the storm and one that will not. Ethel E.

Unfortunately our fanners, as a Whole, neglect planting adapted com hybrid seed more than any othtejr crop. Too'many wait »too long to get their seed order in. There are com hybrids to fit any of our elevations, soils, methods of harvesting, or use to be made of the corn (silage or grain). ' ’ Recently one f>f my good friends was by the office—_his seedsman) had suggested he try a. "new 13”. There is no such com on our recommended list. if. S. 13 was included a few years ago; has been re-., placed by VPI 426. Adapted hybrids are: Yellow, Medium Early, VPI 426; Funk G 76; Ohio C 54 and Wood V26Y; Full Season™ VPI 648; VPI’ 645; US 505; Funk G 134; Wood V44; DeKalb 630; Pioneer 301 A; Funk G91; VPI 646; VPI |653 and Pioneer 312 A.(C 54, 645 and 646 will not be included after this year). White hybrids: Full season: Pioneer 510 and Southern States 903 W. Any of the above full season hybrids are suitable for silage. Also U.S. 262, US 262A and US 578. These three hybrids are not suited to mechanical picking. Planting Rates j for rull-seasoni hybrids I/.UUU eo 14,000 kemelk per acre; for medium-early hybrids 14,000 to 16,000 kernels per acre. If planted on poor soil, without sufficient fertilization, the rate of planting should be decreased. The thicker planting will give higher yields if ' fertilized properly and adequate moisture is available. ° Some farmers allow for some corn being pulled up by crows when such is a significant problem. Be sure you have the right planter plates for the size seed you buy. Fertilization The best over all analysis fertilizer on the market today for corn is 10-10-10. Rates of application (for optimum yields varies with soil type, however, 700-800 pounds per acre is considered optimum for our soils generally. To avoid killing germinating seed, never apply over 150 pounds of this analysis in-the-row. The remaining amount should be broadcast or drilled on, the land. By using this analysis, and method, top dressing will not be necessary.

The primary reason we cultivate corn, as most realize, is for weed control; however many people cultivate soil in corn fields much too deep and in doing so prune off the, roots which aft vital to growth. Two inches is plenty deep. When chemicals are not applied as pre-emergence sprays cultivation with a spike tooth harrow or rotary hoe from time com starts to come up until it is 2-3 inches high is very effective. Keep in mind it takes about a 40 bushel per acre corn yield to meet production costs. To make a profitable yield; select your best com soil, use an adapted com hybrid, check your planter for the right plates and be sure it is putting down desired rates, .use proper fertilizer analysis applied at optimum rates, and control weeds. If you'don’t have soils which rate as “fair” com soils or better, you’d better not try to grow it.
