RAPPAHANNOCK By W. H. Lyne . Count* Agent Livestock and poultry Population and Income j Rappahannock livestock industry is essentially beejf cattle production with sheep as a supporting enterprise. Generali^ speaking, swine and poultry production are confined to production of feeder pigs, and production for family use.. In recent years a f«w commercial laying flocks have been established and there has been small increase m production of market hogs. As related to our total agricultural economy, sale of livestock and poultry and their products has been a major source of Rappahannock’s income through out the years: 1940 1945 514,588 859,423 This income lowing percen income from 1940 1945 68 45 LIVESTOCK Cattle itage sale 1950 ’ 1955 . 1,240,123 915,86 -epresents the fol; of gross farm of all products: 1950 1955 72 44 During the ttftcen year f™. 1940-55, Rappahannock’s cattle population has increased 40% as compared to the state-wide increase of 67% during! the same period. ,vliiiwuF-count* this, increase has been essentially in heef cows: in fact the increase is a phenomenal 311 % ; or from 1419 head in 1940 to 5886 head in 19551 The remairting increase has been in replacement heifers and bulk as the milk cow population in 1955 was at its lowest during th.s period although not significantly lower than 1940. From 1945 to 1955 our milk cow population dropped 33%. It is felt this increase in beef cows was the result of; increased feed production as a result of improved cultural practices, and especially an inditing market. Also it was apparent that the increase in herd number* as well as size of cow herds leveled off during 1956 and 1957. During 1958 there appeared to be an increase in the number of replacement heifers being kept as evide nced by the marked increase in Bang’s vaccinations. This increase is hot expected to increase the total cow population, but rather will ( end to lower tire average age per cow Within herds which had grown older during periods of peak heifer prices at feeder calf sales. Assuming 35 cows per Dull ana a 3 year average bull servicability Rappahannock cowmen need to purchase 78 beef bulls per year. Milk cow-wis«; there are but 3 grade A dairy herds in the county therefore t(iis P* rt of our cattle population .s essentially made up of family cows and small herds of predominant daily breeding from which bam-yiird milk and cream are sold. Two of the Grade A herds (the largest) arc using services of Rappahannock Artificial Breeding Association. In 1958 412 cows were inseminated] artificially which represents a 17% increase over 1957 but just l*)% of the milk cow populations* From the standpoints of disease control, getting more efficient producing milk cows protecting the excellent reputation of Rappahannock feeder calves, a decided increase jn the number of cows being serviced ot the excellent bulls ir the Virginia Artificial Breeding stijd might well be Continued on page nine Tka FJLA. officers for tka coming yaar ara I v installed at a candla ligkt caramony.

County Board Votes To Build High School At their 'meeting Wednesday, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors voted to borrow ad- ' ditional money over and above the funds already available £o build a new county high school. _ Superintendent of Schools Q. D. Gasque appeared before the Board and explained why an additional $25,000, over what was, already available was necessary tor -construction of a new high school building, whereupon H. B. Wood made the motion to secure an additional loan of $25,000 from the Literary Fund' at 3% interest. This was seconded by A. H. Buckner and was approved by all supervisors present. The county aad many years ago purchased a building lot on Route 211, between Washington and Sperryville and last year it was cleared and graded.

NOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At W«shiaj*oi»,'Rappahannock County, Vir^tmn v TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2861 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owmt j Mrs. SARAH C. LATHAM. Maaaffkw Editor . Entered aa Second Claae Mail at the Poet Offioe at Waahington, Va. ' SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) IlH LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of the Rappahannock News: I wish the readers of this paper to have a factual statement relating to the recent Rappahannock County Court Case of Roberta K. Spaulding and Virginia Smith against the Virginia State Compensation Board in which the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock i.iought the county’s^ i n te rest should be repr^swted^. since local taxes are used tiTpayy-j of the salaries of the above mentioned county and state empoyees. ' N e it her the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors nor any members took any action o.i the salary request of the Commissioner ,of Revenue of Rappahannock County untpl the " regular January 1959 meeting which was held on January 7, 1959. At the January meeting the Board by a 2/3 majority opposed the Commissioner's salary increase and requested a hearing before a 5 man board composed of the three members of the State Compensation Board and two members of^he County Board of Supervisors. At this hearing the Compensation Board took the following action and I quot from a letter of the Secretary of the Board. This is to confirm the action v of the five member Boad (Code - Section 14-63) on March 17, 1959, namely..... Annual rate of Compensation for the Commissioner of Reve' nue effective April. 1, 1959 $3600. Annual rate of ^Compensatjpn for the Assistant! to the Commissioner of Revenue effective April I,' 195^ $1680. This action gave a salarv( increase of $100 to Commissione - and $480 to the assistant for 1959 in excess of 1958 salaries. When the case was appealed the Board of Supervisors at its regular May meeting voted to employ an attorney to represent them since ■ our Commonwealth’s Attorney had disqualified himself. At the meeting the vote was 3 for and 1 member not voting. The member not voting requested that his vote be changed after the meeting to a vote against. The writer was not present at the meeting due to urgent county budget business in Richmond, but would have voted for the motion had he been present. The county and state lost the case but the two other principals in the case did not get any salary increase since the ruling of the court gave them the exjact salary they had been making. The / place of employment for one of the principals is changed effective June 1. 1959. The gross saving to the County and State became of County' Board action is $600 an a 50-50 basis to County and State. The cost to the County is less than $300. I do not know-what the cost is to the State, but I estimate it also to be dess than the saving. The cpst to the Rappahannock News on its machinery and tools (composed of two linotype machines, a printing press and various other items assessed at $630) is about 4 cents. Sincerely, E. M. Jones. Chairman Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors Editor’s Note: If Mr. Jones’ figures are as inaccurate relative to county affairs as they are inaccur* ate relative to Rappahannock News costs, they are merely 75% off.

During 1958 an estimated 84% of our heifer population was Bang’s vaccinated. Steer-wise little change has taken place in, Rappahannock during the tenure of your county agent.

Thus our boar needs shouldn’t be over 60 at aany time and assuming a two year serviceability span, a 30 boar turn over per year would be ample.

Sheep Rappahannock’s ewe population trends as compared to that of the state is as follows: 1940 1945 Rappahannock 3745 3859 State 319,282 262,464 1950 1955 Rappahannock 2226 2549 State 229,202 248,642 Assuming the accepted rule of thumb, "that one sheep can be pastured for every 100 pound cow or steer a farm will support” Rappahannock’s sheep population could be more than tripled without over grazing our pasture lands in their present condition. Be it also remembered: (1) * Research shows cattle, sheep, and horses make just as satisfactory gains whether they be pastured separately, rotationally or together and (2) during time of armed conflict our wool ranks second only to food and ammunition with respecj to needs of troops. Wool production per ewe creased 1.2 pounds in 15 yi Thjp is probably the result in the increased western ewe population and to some extent, not to be overlooked, to better shearing as result of our annual 'sheep shearing school. Assuming the servicable life of a ram to be two years, and 35 ewes per ram, Rappahannock sheep owners would need 72 ram per year. Income per ewe in value of sheep ant lambs sold has increased from $5.56 to $12.39 from 1940 to 1959. While this—iS^a significant improvement not entirely attributal to price fluctuatons it is still pathetically low especially when records of 4-H flocks show approximately a $20.00 per ewe income from sale of lambs.

Ramblings From Rappahannock Dear Folks, Whatt a nice day for ducks. We * have certainly gotten what we have been asking for and 4 little bit more I* guess. Everyone ia hollering they have worlds pi peas in the garden and can’t get in to pick them. We just are never satisfied. Dump Massie had a b rthday yesterday. (Congratulations Dump, and may yovi have many more. Heard th& cutest story when I went by GuyV yesterday. It seems a friend of Guj’s was in tjhe restaurant one diy when he was cooking poke/salad. The | friend asked Guy ymat in the wirld he was cooking and he told him poke salad. So the n^xt day the! friend went out and cut a nice “mess" of poke. A day later the iellow’s wife calls Guy- and said, “don’t yen e' er mention any funny things to eat like that to my husbapd. He w..s “gruntin’ and squealing all night long. Ms. A1 me! V.-.'S just in the office and told us she was getting people from all over the county, but mighty few from Washington at the Hillsdale Drive-In Theatre.' They do have good movies, so let’s try to turn out a little more. We at the News of fee wish to offer our full hearted congratulations to the tlass of 1959 at! Rappahannock County High Schijiol, and may you find contentment and happiess in your years aheajd. Most of our boys and girls are home for the summer or {will be home irt a few weeks, before finding jobs or leaving on trips. Since last summer there have been four marriages, others have left, so the old gang has dwindled down to very tew. I for one will miss the gang and I know all of yoq will. What a terrible wreck we had in town last week. A tractor and trailer went out of control and ever the bank and caught fire. The driver died that night. Heard smeone say he had 25 children. ' The big question is Shall Rappahannock build a new high school? Guess everyone interested will be at the Supervisors meeting Wednesday and still others will just let it drift along one way or the other and not bother, but still make plenty of noise if it doesn’t go their way. Marty Critzer just came in to pick up some water bills she had printed here. So you know what to expect in your next mail.

CONGRESSMAN REPORTS (Continued from page One) Moscow newsstands. !It pays for teams of folksingers to wander about the tiny country of Laos “singing the news.” It makes a newsreel in the Somali language to show to African natives. These are random items from the program of what amounts to the international propaganda agency of the United States Government. While officials of the agency dislike the word, it is generally acknowledged that propaganda— or the dissemination of information intended to influence other people favorably toward us—is part of our foreign policy, as it is part of the diplomatic activity of feirtually all nations, on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Throughout its existence, the USIS has been a storm center of criticism and controversy. It ha* been defended as an essential, and substantially effective, instrument for the neutralization of Soviet propaganda efforts around the globe. It has been Called, on the other hand, a wasteful and useless drain on the Treasury. History will have to make the true assessment of the role of USIS in the cold war. When director vjeorge v. .r\ilen came before the iHouse' Appropriations Committee to justify the request for funds for he USIS for the next fiscal year, he outlined what he regarded as the reason for his agency, in part, as follows: “Under all conditions, we would need to give an account of ourselves overseas. The need is particularly pressing in these times. Where political stresses and strains make normal, healthy interchange between people and between government difficult, the Agency needs to bend every effort to keep open the channels of information and of ideas. It needs to keep books, magazines, films and discussion before the, people of other countries. We need to show others an advanced, democratic nation in action. We need to demonstrate sympathy and understanding of social, economic and political problems. We need to give people everywhere a sense that here is one great active nation dedicated to Man’s best aspirations.” Mr. Allen offered the Appropriations Committee some examples of what he regarded as successful efforts of USIS: Mexico—“The local people asked us if we would help them put on a series of programs—13 of them—to teach English by television. Our USIS office there put together the material and helped them produce the show. It turned out to be the highest rated—I believe cf ar.y television show that had ever been shown in Mexico City.” (Unfortunately, die “local people” weren’t able to get the USIS free time on the Mexican television station, and, when the show failed to attract a sponsor, the USIS had to suspend it, because the TV time charges were taking too much of its budget.) Russia—‘""his magizine (USIS “America Today”) continues to be most eagerly sought after by the Soviet people every time it goes on the stands. We had a specific example of that when the last ..ssues went on sale a few weeks ago. We had two or three, people at our Embassy standing at proper places to see the main newsstand—the kiosks— when the magazine arrived. When the delivery trucks came up, people waiting to make purchases did not know that the American magazine was going to come on the stand. When bundles of the magazine were delivered to the newsdealers, practically everybody within sight insisted upon having a copy. They went like _hotcakes”. Germany—“In our American House in Berlin, which is located right next to the principal stop on the interurban railway that comes out of East Berlin, we have a special roan for East Germans to come and see our documentary films, and a special reading room. I went there to see a newsreel and watched 200 or 400 East Berliners in the room at the time. After the film showing was over, I went into the reading room for the East Germans. There is a round, elevated sort of counter behind which a girl stands. She has leftover copies of the daily newspapers of West Berlin, as well as magazines and periodicals. She was doing a landoffice business. Just as fast as die possibly could, she was handing out these 2-and-3-day old news Used -Tractors And Equipment 8N FORD—62 MODEL 1 8N MODEL 1961 WD 45 AC with PLOW WD AC with PLOW AC COMBINE OLIVER COMBINE NEW HOLLAND FIELD HARVESTER NEW HOLLAND 77 BALER All Priced To Bell Quick To Make Room For Inventory Browning Tractor & Equipment Co.
