Rappahannock News, April 30, 1959

RAPPAHANNOCK B, V. H. Lfnt County Agent t Livestock and Poultry Population and Income Rappahannock livestock industry is essentially beef cattle production with she*-p as a supporting enterprise. Generally speaking swine and poultry production are confined to production of feeder pigs and production for family use. In recent years a] few commercial laying flocks have been established and there has bet» small increase in production of market hogs. As related to our total agriculture economy, sale of Livestock and Poultry and their products has been a major source of Rappahannock's income throughout the years: : iv4u $514,588 1950 $1,240,123 This income n lowing percentage income from sale 1940 1945 68 45 j Livestock 1943 $859,423 1955 $915,682 -epresents die fol* t of gross farm of all products: 1950 1955 72 44 Cattle: During period 1940-55 die fifteen years Rappahannock's cattle population has increased 40 per cent as compared to the statewide increase of 67 per cent during the same period, | In our countWtyMgcjpSse IMS been essentially id fact the increase is a pkenoorinal 311 % ; or from 1419 head ini 1940 to 5886 head iji 19551 The remaining increase has been in replacement heifers and bulls as the milk cow population in 1955 was ^tt its lowest during this period* although not sigrrificandy lower than 1940. Froth 1945 to 1955 our milk cow population dropped 33%. | i It is felt this increase in beef cows was the result of jincreascd feed production as a result of improved cultural practices, and especially an inclining market. Also it was apparent' that the increase in herd numbers as well as size of cow herds leveled off during 1956 and 1957. During 1958 there appeared to be an i increase in the number of replacement heifers being kept as evidenced by the marked increase in Batig’*s vaccinations. This increase is not expected to increase the total] cow population but rather will tend to lower the average age pu ww wiuuh i^*ua which had grown older during periods of peak heifer prices at feeder calf sales. Assuming 35 cows per bull and a 3 year average bull servicability Rappahannock cowmen rtsed to purchase 78 beef bulls per year. Milk cow-wise there are but three grade A dairy herds in the county therefore this part of our cattle population is essentially made up of family cows and small herds of predominant dairy breeding from which: barn-yard milk and cream are sold. Two of the Grade A herds (the largest) are using services of Rap^ pahannock Artificial Breeding Association. In 1958, 412 cows were inseminated artificially, which represents a 17% increase over 1957 but just 19% of the milk cow population. From the stand points of disease control, (getting more efficient producing milk cows, protecting die excellent reputation of Rappahannock feeder calves, a <fo> Continued on page twelve Vital Red Cross Meeting May 44 Art open Red Cross meeting of (interest to all county residents will be hdd Thursday, May 14th at 7:30 p.m. in die Court House at Washington, Va. The Rappahannock Chapter of the American Red Cross has no county chairman to head the program, and so far no one has consented to fill this position. As the situation stands, die chapter can not function properly without a leader to assume responsibility and designate definite jobs, the end result is “everybody’s business is nobody's business” or “let George do k.” ■ _ ; Fortunately, a capable chairman has always been found to head the annual fund drives in March and art present aj jhhirman for the Bloodmobile is in office. Since no one will assume over all responsibility as president of the chapter, what then, is the solution? Shall we, as many small chapters are doing, consolidate with an adjoining county which has a strong chapter? Is this feasible? -Will interest degenerate even more if it goes out of the county? Have YOU a better solution? If so come to die meeting May 14th and express your views. NOTICE The Forest Grove P.T.A. will . .meet the first Monday inMay instead of the usual time.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Pot- Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) . —... $2.50 PER TEAS YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS B- Rr*. flu’r p. Harrison Washington—-This year, the Army Engineers are spending $230,00t> on a “review’' of their former recommendations Concerning the building of dams on the Potomac River and its tributaries. Last year, $166,000 was used for this purpose. President .Eisenhower’s budget for the next fiscal year includes $490,000 to continue the “review.” Eventually the Engineers will prepare and submit to Congress a report setting .forth the thin® which this federal agency thinks should be done in the Potomac River basin to insure an adequate water supply, improve flood protection and increase power- generation facilities Whenever tms report is maae public, there will be particular interest in our area in the locations of dams and reservoirs proposed to be built, because such projects inevitably put under water many acres of private land. The $490,000 which Mr. Eisenhower has requested to^ continue this protracted “review” of the Potomac is just one it«n in the $9 million whirls the Army Engineers want for “general investigations” leading to construction for which money will be asked in future years. For general construction by the Engineers,, the fiscal year 1960 bpflgef calls for $660 million, an increase of $57 million over the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year, and. an increase of $2J0 million over the amount voted for the past fiscal year. Approximately 69 per cent >f the requested appropriation woild be applied to 38 major project;. Among the smaller ones is a channel-w.denin't job in Norfolk Harbor. lis:ed fm* $3.7 million. Examples of bigge' allotments are $43.5 million for reservoir in South Dakota and 33.5 million for a lock and dam in the State of Washington. In many cases, of course, the work stretches over several years, so the amounts shown in the budget represent only a part of the cost, It will take an estimated $8.7 billion to finish all the authorized construction projects of the Army Engineers. There is another agency of the Federal Government engaged in planning and building dans and reservoirs..the Bureau of Reclamation. For its general investigations .....planning what to A) next.thi9 agency has an item of $5 million in the President’s, budget.....an increase of $440,000 over the axnount appropriated for this year. For actual construction, the amount sought is down $11 million from the current year, but still stands at a whopping $135 million., The. Bureau reported that it will require more than $1 billion over the years to finish the general projects on which it is working. The planning money, of course, will produce requests for new” authorisations which, if voted, would push die total upward. ,Jn addition to the $137 million of general construction money, the Bureau wants a separate appropriation of $77 million for the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund, an increase of $9 million from this year’s figure. This will go toward building a tremendous system of dams, reservoirs and power facilities which eventually is expected to pay back substantial amounts to the Treasury from earnings. The budget contains the statement, however, that, “the 1960 appropriation request of $77 million will leave a bala/ice to complete the authorized work of $861.8 million.” For the purpose of appropriation by Congress, a distinction is made between money spent out of the general income of the Treasury' and money spent from special income earned by certain operations of the Army Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation. From the standpoint - of the taxpayer, however, it is qnly a technical distinction. All nwney going into the federal coffers, from whatever source, is part of the revenue of his government and he has a direct interest in its spending. He is not getting any free dams or reservoirs. a missviue news Sunday afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Payne and son, Billy were Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Giles of Warrenton and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gouldthorpe and daughter Candy of Bealton.

Strength jjor Life Who Touches Jetut “And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, Who touched! my garments?” (Mark 5 JO) - Jests had only recently gone “to the other side of the sea, to the country of xfhe (Jtrasenes—and now returned, being met by a great crowd”. And as he walked, the great crowd thronged, about him; and, like most crowds were undoubtedly noisy,j .^nd excited; and pushing about1 him almost as one. And yet, in all t*he confusion, and beingjostled about, Jesus suddenly asks, “Who touched me?” Tfte disciple must have thought such a question perposterous 1 “Can’t you see a crowd is jostling you”, they exclaim. “And yet you ask, “Who touched me?” But Jesus replies, “But somebody touched me.” And turning about to see who had done it, he sees a woman, in fear and trembling, come and fall down before him. It was such a timid touch I There is a real difference between thronging Jesus and touching him. Those who throng him get little; those who touch him get everything! And so he looks upon die woman: “Daughter,” ho says, “Thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace.” Never did the thought of die world so throng Jesus as now. There is more interest than ever before. Other ways arc breaking down, and we wistfully turn to him. And yet, perhaps we are more thronging Jesus than touching him. Inspiration? Yes. But not life! Sunday after Sunday the multi tudes go to church and listen. Their thoughts often throng Jesus. Butt how many of the thronging multitudes really touch him? How many touch him so that they’ go away not merely better, but, as the woman who touched his garments, go away well?

VA. val" of our* undoubtedly has had, and is having, a terrific impact upon die thinking people of. this country; and, undoubtedly, it has produced 4nuch good. But many of our religious scholars, however, havef been taking a second and sometimes dubious look at this revival. For there seems to be a tendency to make Christianity a shallow thing; or, to quote Dr. R. M. Brown of Union, “a gimmick for getting what we want.”. Others have expressed similar fear that this revival is weakening the relationship between God and man. Dr. Roy ■Eckhardt, of Leigh University: “The lamentable thing about the current revival is the growing tendancy of people to expect God to serve them, rather than the other way around.” Reinhold Neibuhr: “It (the 20th century revival) is involved in self-worship rather than the worship of God.” Rabbi Elliot Grafman: “God is for many men today a sort of glorified bellhop, to be summoned by the buzzer of prayer.” Perhaps we truly are thronging Jesus, and miss completely those healing words: “Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.” The faith of which Jesus spoke, and the woman knew, is an adventure of the spirit It is the going out of the whole inner life in response to something we believe to be supremely worthwhile. It is-a wagering of fhe life, not a mere nodding of fhh head. It is not discussion it is decision. It is a launching out of the highest hypothesis known: life! One cannot say that he believes in something unless he acts upon it. One cannot say he believes in Christ unless he is prepared to wager all to follow him. That is faith 1 And this is what the woman had.

Monday, April 27, 1959 Rappahannock News Washington, Virginia RAPPAHANNOCK (Continued fom page One) cided increase in the number of cows being serviced to the excellent bulls in the Virginia Artificial Breeding stud might well be in the interest of all Rappahannock citizens regardless of what might constitute their major type of cattle enterprise. Since Rappahannock was declared under Area Brucellosis (Bang’s disease) test all but 1 of her cow herds have beer tested at least once. During 1958 an estimated 84% of our heifer population was Bang’s vaccinated. At the last cencus Rappahannock farmers were producing but seventy odd calves for every 100 cows kept. This is extremely low and raises the production per calf terrificly. The Bang’s disease control program should tend to lower this cost. Steer-wise little change has taken place in Rappahannock during the tenure of your county agent. Two feeders have marketed their fat cattle, iduding some heifers, at the graded fat cattle sale held during winter and early spring months at Fredericksburg. Generally speaking points to consider in the steer game are: (l)use of stilbestrol implants in yearlings just prior to turning on grass; (2) administering tranquilizers just prior to shipment and (3) feeding out to lighter weights which will likely mean more feeding of grain on grass. More of this same article concerning sheep, hogs, etc. will appear in next week’s issue.
