Ramblings From Rappahannock Dear Folks, Mayor Martha Critzer has announced Clean-Up Week for Apr.l 27rh so let’s all get busy and be ready to go into full swing in our homes and yards and lany where else a little cleaning is needed. While on the subject of our town, I think the joke played at Halloween, taking the chain from around the town monument has gone far just about then—so listen closely! Ruth and Doug Keyser visited their son and new daughter-mdaw Magruder and Nancy,' at their home in Leesburg Sunday, Just know Nancy had a ‘Melic” dinner for them. I also went to *ee our new' «on-j?-}aw kah3' daughter last Thursday—-Evie served us a good lunch and their apartment is darling. Carlyle and Salty are back in Blacksburg; Carlyle in school and hard at work. So much for our newly weds. What a day. farst tne sun smnes and, you bum up, then ft goes under a cloud and you freeze to death hut guess that’s April. I went to the preliminary hearing for James Champ Friday. One of Ruth Dearing’s daughters age 7 was being questioned, but before Judge Miller began the questioning he asked the child if she knew what truth meant. She replied “Jesus”. He then asked if she knew what it meant to tell a story. “Yes, Fire House”, she said. Guess there are all kinds of names for the place we hope not to go to in the hereafter. Don’t forget to bring as many articles as possible as soon as possible for the reopening of the rummage sales sponsored by !the Ladies Auxiliary to the Fire Cb. on May 1st at 9 aan.

Exercise Successful Rappahannocks first participation in a National Civil Defense tracing exercise went well last 'Friday according to a report made by W. H. Lyne, Local C. D. Director. The warning was sent out from local headquarters to the Washington Fire Department promptly at 11:30 a.m. As previously arranged, the following cooperating citizens,, upon hearing the siren in Washington assisted in passing the warning along to the communities indicated: Mrs. Roberta Spalding, Flint Hill—30 seconds required to make connections; Miss Phyll<s Hudson, Castleton—5 minutes required to make connections; Siren being sounded when party reached, Mrs Frances Thornton, Sperryville—party reached at 11:31 a.m. signal lasted for three minutes. Only one child seen on school grounds. Mrs. Mary Miller Payne Amissville,— line out of order or busy; Finally reached party a t 11:40; siren had already been cm i At Sperryville school pupils and teachers were in most protected parts of buildings within two minutes after signal first heard. Pupils upstairs went to auditorium, those downstairs and in smaller building faced inside wall. All windows and doors closed. Rappahannock High, all pupils, in place within one minute fifteen seconds. Flint Hill School—all pupils and teachers in part of building affording most protection within one minute after alarm first sounded. At 11:45 a.m. the checkerboard alert was received’ at local headquarters (County Agent’s Office) from Front Royal Police Department who had received the warning at 11:34 a.m. The delay in receiving this message was due to the department calling 2201 instead of 2231. A fire alarm received from Amissville at .11:20 a.m. served as an additional test in recognition qff the meanings of local sireni signals. Through the cooperation of Mrs. Russie Miller, persons in different parts of the coifhty were asked to tune their radios to Conelrad stations (640 K.C. and 1240 K.C.) Mr. W. A. Dulaney reported no reception at all at Woodville. Mrs. Barbara Gentry pould not get any reception at Flint Hill, however, Mrs. Eva Smjth of the same town reported 640 clear and 1240 silent. M. A. Greeley of Chester Gap reported reception at 640 K.C. was “fair" and at 1240 K.C. “very good but much static both stations. Mrs. Ethel Cooksey reported “no reception" at Amissville. No reception either station at local headquarters. It would be interesting to learn the results' any other listeners may have had in attempting to get messages via Correlrad.

Virginians this week put the news of summit meeting-* and revolutions ana national appointments in the background. All eyes turn, to Richmond where a strange tight drama has been developing. By a vote of 20 to 19, the Sen ate turned itself into a committee: of the whole and has prepared the way for a local option law that, will pass, pre sumably by the same narrow marginTo us it seems absurd for such an important question a> the future of Virginia’s schools to be settled by a 20 to lu vote in Richmond. We are of tne opinion that the -question is one of such a local nature and of such complicated and delicate substance, that eah County should have the opportunite to decide for itself the one great issue remaining: shall we integrate our public schools or shall we .dose them The Senator from Giles County should not decide this for the people of Northumberland county and visa-versa. No should the pattern for the entire state be set, irrevocably, on a 20 to 19 vc.te. This is a local county issue that code! have best been decided on a county basis. B.C.B.Jr. YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS g, R, t>. Burr P. Harrison Washington—The soil ban k, which has been a minor factor in Vi rg nia agriculture, continues to be a heavy charge on the tajcpayep, and to catch headlines with reports of mismanagement, windfalls and sharp practices. , President Eisenhower s budget includes an item of $360 million to carry forward the consercation reserve part of the soil bank. In addition, $1 million is asked to wind up loose ends of the acreage reserve part, which ended with the 1958 crop year. In recent budget testimony, Congress heard again how the soal bank not: only had failed to bring about any substantial reductiojK'tn agricultural production.—its original stated purpose—but also had paid handsome u aims to shrewd operators, who capitalized on loopholes in the law and regulations In 1958, a House Appropriation Subcommittee was told, there were only 480 soil bank conservation reserve contracts in force m Virginia, as against;19ol2 contracts in Tens. Id Tc .according to a General A counting Office report, admir ti.n of the »«W IV* v -- one point, rites of p..y nent were miscalculated, and approximately $800,000 was oblip *ed improperly before the mistake w\: discovered. Another bidden: r.'d to the ' committee was the .<• ~ of State lands iff Colorado f< ','1 P® acre a year by individual, who then planted grass, 80 per c;nt of the , ,st of which was borne by the 1 -deral Government, and rented i c tand to the soil bank for $6.50 t $7.50 per acre a year. Department of Agriculture of,als assured the committee they i ,! plugged up some of the loop\ V with changed regulations but i cnowledged that they could not oid contracts already in force. One way to raid the soil bank > > as to divide up land among re* atives to get ardund the $5,000 limitation on annual payments on • single farrrting operation. In Texas where the soil bank has been very popular, one family’s soil bank income was raised from $5,000 to $19,6% per year by sUth a maneu~ ver. The 10-year contract will pay out $2000,000 in this case. Selling land at inflated paces -he understanding that the buyer* could pay for it with the soil twu-. money they could obtain from the Fede-r («.\ eminent also has been popular. In oft case cited, a landowner who could expect to obtain not more than $50,000 in soil bank money over a 10-year period was able to dispose of his holdings at a fine price, and could afford to let the 12 buyers off with out any down payment or interest charges, because they would be getting nearly $500,000 out of the soil bank over the 10 years for the same land. Rep. jamie L. \Vh,tten o; M.> sisippi, whose subcommittee has charge of Agriculture Department appropriations, said it also was his ■ •rt.tjfcrcfan/tmix that certain timber and land companies had bought up unproductive land, rented it to the soil bank, obtained additional payments to help meet the cost of planting seedlings, and were able to look forward to owning, in 15 vears, a cost-free stand of timber 'em a cost-free tract of land. In noting that another $1 million or so still will be needed to wind up the affairs of the defunct acreage reserve part of the soil bank, Mr. Whitten said that the acreage reserve had cost the taxpayers approximately $1.7 billion. In May, 1957, I offered on the floor of the House of Representatives and amendment to the Department of Agriculture appropriation bill to end the soil bank acreage reserve at the completion of the 1957 crop year. In final House action taken on the bill, my amendment was adopted by a roll call vote of 192 to 187. The amendment was stricken by the Senate, however, and the acreage reserve program continued into the 1958 crop year. Even the Secretary of Agriculture then acknowledged that it should be ended. The extra year, which my amendment had sought to avoid, cost $700 million. CHARCOAL STEAKS CHICKEN .

LYNE Count* Agent Gordon Thornhill, Technician for Rappahannock Artificial Breeding Association, has been employed to inseminate all of thte cows at the Front Royal Beef Cattle Research Center. His services will still be available to Rappahannock Cow owners. The Research Center is sending several of their better sires to the Virginia Artificial Breeding Association’s bull center at Rocky Mount. Services to these bulls will be available the same as the services from the Gumsey, Holstein and Jersey bulls owned by V.AB.A. Artificial breeding of beef cattle is on tthe increase especially .n purebred herds as a means of expanding the serviceability of an outstanding bull or in controlling diseases. While there is an increase .n awareness of the possible advantages in artificial breeding of beef cattle among local cowmen; one breeder feels its best to hold off until more outstanding bulls can be ‘uncovered’ through record of performance testing. While “Record of Performance” is becoming a more and more fami liar phase among feeder calf producers it is felt additional “know how” is needed when it comes to selecting a bull based on his performance records. In the first place just because a bull is a R.O.P. bull doesn’t necessarily mean he is a good bull to buy. Performance Records are essentially a means of selection and culling. It is the best tool cattlemen have ever had for; improving a cow'herd, proving the potenti al value of a future herd sire, or one presently in use; but lets consider what the records mean and how they may be of uSe in selecting a bull. In selecting a R.O.P. bull there are five records to consider: his total index, the type score, his adjusted daily rate of gain while on dam, his average daily gain on feed, and his life time rate of gaii\ All are important.

The performance index of the average herd of beef cows in Virginia is 100 therefore the index of the bull you select should always be above 100.

If the average index of your herd is 100 and you select a bull with an index of 120 you can count on him raising the index 30% of the difference; or to 106.

By now it has been checked over and probably paid. But, did you notice one item on your bill that waa shown as a separate amount from the charge for service - the 10% Wartime Excise Tax on local and long distance telephone service your telephone company must collect from you and turn over to Uncle Sam? ?. Whether you noticed it or not, telephone users have been paying this unfair tax month in and month out for over 13 years* Actually it was started in its present form during World War II - when emergency funds were needed and telephone facilities were scarce. However, the war has been Vver for nearly 14 years and telephone facilities are now reasonably plentiful - but this so-called temporary Wartime Excise Tax still appears on your telephone bull, adding a full 107c to the amount you pay for your telephone service. We have made our thoughts on the tax known to those m Washington who have the power to legislate the laws that govern this big country of ours. But, we believe action will be taken only^when the nation’s telephone subscribers speak up and urge their Washington representatives to end the 10% Wartime Exc’se Tax on telephone service. We say this because there is now a movement underway wmcn can tie the 10% Wartime Excise Tax on Telephone Services even more deeply into the tax structure. „ Here’s what’s being planned: (1) It has been proposed that 40% of the money from the present tax on local telephone service be diverted to the individual states; (2) under the proposal each statewould levy its own tax (up to 4%) on local telephone service; (3) the federal exeise tax on local telephone service would drop to 6% *, (4) the total effect of the two would still be that of a 10% tax, and the present 10% tax on long distance service would still remain. If this all happens you can bet your bottom dollar on two tilings: (l)you as a telephone userNvill get no tax relief ; and (2) the unfair Wartime Telephone Excise tax will become solidly entrenched in your state tax structure. The time has come, we believe, for the telephone users of America to join with the telephone industry in its endeavers to convince the nations lawmakers the 10% Wartime Excise Tax levied on telephone users should be repealed. Here’s how you can help: (1) Write your Congressman or Senator and protest the continuance of the: 10% Wartime Excise Tax on the use of telephones; and (2) condemn the proposed plan of giving 40% of the telephone tax on local telephone service to the individual states. If enough of the nations telephone users do jrust that we believe the day may soon come when you can pocket that 10% tax you are now paying because you are a telephone user- ; Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Co.

Did You Know This? Any baseball fan can tdl you the number of home runs Mickey Mantle belted last year or the salary of Ted Williams. But lean he tell you who wore the first baseball glove? Or what player was the first to catch a ball dropped from the Washington Monument? Statistice will be flying thick and •fast now that the baseball season is here But for those who really want to impress their wives or girl friends, here are some baseball) firsts. The first clash between a player and his archenemy_the ufnpire.— occurred June 19, 1846, when the Knickerbocker Club of New York played the New York Baseball Club at Elysian Fields in Hoboken N. J. A player named Davis was •fOwMaUi. WMifcMwITa C. ROY JONES jew fj .er Culpeper, Virginia fined six cants for cussing. The umpire was Alexander Cartwright, a leading player for the Knicks, who had chosen to umpire instead. That game was also the first instance of teatn baseball as we know it. The Nkv York dub won 23 to 1 after four innings. The Knickerbocker Club; formed in 1845, was the first regular baseball organization. And in their season, the members donned blue and white uiforms to become the first team uniformly outfitted. A breach of baseball etiquette made A1 Reach the first cpaid ball player. In 1864, it was considered unethical for a player to “jump” from one team to another. Reach, however, deserted the Brooklyn) Atlanfcics when he was offered money by the Philadelph a Athletics. Five years later, thi C.ndnnati Red Stockings turned professional and became the first salaried team. In those days, baseball was far from the gentlemanly game the Knickerbockers had played. A player might leave the fidd bleeding or unconscious after stopping a fast ball, but he refused to baby himself by wearing protective equipment. In 1875, however, Charles Waite, first baseman for Boston, put on a glove.flesh colored, 'so the fans wouldn’t notice it. A. G. Spalding finally wore a dark brown glove, adding stuffing to it a little at a time. The first catcher’s mask was developed in 1878 for a Harvard player who preferred being called a sissy to having his fine Barry more profile smashed. Still wondering about the Washington Monument? Well, Billy “Pop” Schriver of a Chicago ball club caught a ball dropped from the 500-foot level of the memorial in 1892. Just a grandstander but_that’s baseball. Sperryville News J. B.

The “Golden Milestone” unit will jbe a Ford passenger car. As of April 29, it will have taken Ford Motor Company 55 years, 10 months and 13 days to build its first 50 imillion cars and trucks. The Iiklfhood is it will take the company less than half that time to produce its next 50 million. Completion of its millionth car was in September 1915 and the five millionth vehicle,wqs produced in 1921; the 10 millionth in 1924 and the J5 millionth in( 1927. The end of fhe fabled Model T era came dufing the period when Ford output totaled between 15 and 20 'V million vehicles. Due recognition was given the 20 millionth Ford vehicle, a Model A town sedan produced in 1931. With World. War II delaying things for a number of years, the ,40 millionth unit was not produced until 1953, the company’s golden anniversary year. Until 1922, when Henry Ford purchased, the Lincoln Motor Company, he manufactured only Ford passenger cars and trucks. Mercury was added to the line in 1938 and Edsel in 1957.

VAMOOO are producing and should always select- a bull of equal or higher grade. R.O.P. grade (type score) is more strict than feeder grade. You can pretty well tell whether the bull in question is out of a good milker or not from his" adjusted daily rate of gain. If his adjusted daily rate of gain was made on a nurse cow, mark him off your list. If his adjusted daily rate of gain while on dam is 1.9 pounds per day or better you know his mama was a good milker. As this daily gain is lo’vtred the bull’s dam either produced less milk or he simply didn’t have the ability to convert milk into beef. On the other hand, if the bull with the low daily rate of gain while on dam came up to 2.5 pounds per day or better while on feed you know for sure his mother was a poor milker. If his feed efficiency stayed low—he’s not the kind of hull that will help the breeder and the feeder that buys his calves is not apt to be a repeat customer. If the bull has had a good adjusted daily rate of gain while on dam and good rate of' gain yhile on feed then his lifetime rate of gain will be good unless there was a prolonged (4-6 weeks) break between the time K was weaned and the time he went on feed. If your herd is average and you buy a herd sire with an index of 120 what is the investment worth? First of all a bull with an index of 120 could have a type score of 19 l niinn^ fln daily rate of gain of 1.95 pounds per day. When used on average cows (indexes averaging 100) you can count on him transmitting; 30% of the difference or rhe average index of h's calves will be 106. This means he has raised the type score by 0.6 of a point and the daily rate of gain by 0.07 pounds. Based on last falls calf sale prices this would mean his calves would be worth from $6.00-$12.00 more depending cn the sex of the calf. H. D.
