Rappahannock News, October 29, 1959

RAPPAHANNOCK By W. H.Lyne County Agent Last spring I wrote a series of articles in an attempt to give readers a better over-all picture of our county. Now that harvesting and planting of cover crops aref rapidly being completed I feel it is time to study the picture some more. Before a new prospective is disclosed let’s review,! or summarize, some of the major points brought out.iiV tfie previousj articles. VvlF population trends continue as they did from 1930-1950 there will be no one living ini the county in less than 100 years from now. 2. Our educational levels are: male population 2.2 school years below the state average and *our female population 2.0 school-years belipw the state average. 3. j'rom available-data, there are approximately 900 people in the county of employable age who are not gainfully employed. (A survev is the only way; of determining with accuracy what die available labor source is). - If t? in iiuc mciuan xvappahannock family income was $1111 as aompned to $2602 for the state. 5. Livestock and Crops (including fruits) ate principal sources of groqR .farm income. Since 1940 income from livestock has represented fi'oin a low of 44% to a high of 72% of grass fatal income while that from crop* has. fluctuated from ? low of 262% of 53;'6% of 'gross farm income. Beef cattle increased -311% .duting this time while from 1939 to 1949 t the number of apple trees declined 33%. - For a number; of years Rappahannock County )ias had planning committees in Horticulture, Agronomy, livestock, Forestry and 4-H and Older Youth. All of these committees has had a common goal _to increase net farm income today and during the years ahead. Their efforts have brought results. They need to continue to plan, renew their efforts and must have increased support from the people in general. Such helps a county, as is evidenced by our | recent calf sale. Where the results of committee and Extension Service personnel amount to but 1c per pound such would be $6168.63 increased income. But as one cattleman put it _“Our markets couldn’t handle the feeder calves we produce were it not for our! organized effort which has brought in buyers whose feed lots are 400-500 miles away.” Then too, organized feeder calf sales are price setters.” This is silted as a result of planning and putting a plan to work. Is it enough? Should the county have more? What about our young people? With increasing operational costs ini running our county, how are we going to finance this increase? By increasing income, but no one wants increased tax rates. it can or none du i wn.n.± IS THE BEST FOR US? It can be done by increasing our ability to pay. [| 'lit can be done by capitalizing on what we have.—.natural—unmolested beauty! It can be done by bringing in desirable industry. In fact whether we do or don’t want change, change is taking place. It has been suggested: /‘Lets plan to accelerate some of the desirable change that is taking place; Continued on page six . , r.-pv. • • 4. Honey Of A Way To Stay A Honey By Louemma Moffett When movie-lovers go to Hillslale Drive-In on Sunday and ruesday (and you will be sorry if .’ou don’t) to see “Ask Any Girl” :hey will be interested to know :hat the grandmother of Shirley VlacLaine, star of the show, also » star in “Around The World In Eighty Days” and in “Some Came Running”, was born and reared it the old Partlow Home Place on Battle Run, just a few miles from Hillsdale. Shirley’s grandmother was Ada Partlow Beatty and it was from • rer, so says Shirley, that she learned to eat honey. Hollywood’s Pasternak says that ‘vivacity" is a girl framed Shirley MacLaine. “She is always full of bounce. “Ask Any Girl”, a howling and fast-moving comedy is the nost arduous Shirley has ever portrayed, yet she always manages to look daisy fresh even at the end af a long day before a camera.” The MacLaine formula for perpetually pretty motion is one every girl should know, and luckily Shirley is not the type to keep a good thing to herself. When asked how she managed to always look “naturally animated”, “full of bounce and ready to laugh” she said, “See this Jar, pointing to a sunny colored bottle on her dressing table, “It i? oldfashionedhoney.

Wje veered a tenth of a mile off the trail to reach Mary’s Rock. From atop the Rock, the view was \ breath taking and the mountains and baileys impossible to describe. Panorama lay below some 1200 feet with the heavy Sunday traffic appearing as miniature toy autos. The highways to Luray and Washington, winding down the mountain,] could be seen in spots miles tain away. Back" on the trail, we followed it tq the cut-off down the mo unside to the tunnel. The steep decent was rough and rocky *nd at times we traveled slowly and cautlbusty.

LATHAM, Maaacin* Editor Entered u Second Claae Mefl et the Poet Office at Washington, vs. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance)-— -— f2.M PRR YEAR Hat In Hand Tuesday voters throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia go to the polls to elect their County and City officials. This year, there seems to be an unwary lar*e number of contested elections, a sign we regard as meat healthy. We have heard from time to time, references to County offices as being Mr. Smith’s job, or Mr. Brown’s job or Mr. Jones’ job. We have even heard the absurd lament that, its a shame Mr. Jones is running for Mr. Smith’s job. No elected office belongs to any one-man- Jt is a very dangerous thing indeed when people in a free country begin to think of an elective office as one *»au 8 partacnJar Job. All public offices belong to the people, and it » the P®£P*® whoP at their pleasure, select their tanduktos to fill these jobs for a set limited time. A contested election is a normal, healthy democratic process. At the end of every term, we would like to see each office holder compelled to go, hat in hand, to his electorate, seeking their approval. This can only be done by a contested election. B.C3.Jr. — YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS Br Re*. Bn" P. Harrison Washington—A small, specialized school will open in the Nation’s Capital next month. The subject matter will be tax law and economics. The faculty will P*! composed primarily of economists, tax lawyers, and educators in thee fields. The students will be the members of the House Committee on Ways arid Means. As a matter of fact, it will not be a formal educational institution but a seminar planned by the Committee to inform itself on all shades of economic thought with respect to practical and desirable remodeling of our tax structure. The classes will take the form of public hearings, beginning November 16 and continuing through December 18. The invited witnesses, including some of the most prominent economic theoreticians, as well as leading practicioners of tax law and accounting, will offer prepared statements, a^tjrr which they will be available forfouestionimg by members of die Committee. The perpared material later will be published, and should provide a valuable eross-section of current professional thought on tax policies in the United States. Much of the testimony is likely to be heavy going for students. Taxation is not a light subject, but it touches every citizen—at his podcetbook—and deserves a calm and conscientious treatment Our hope is that, in this seminar, taking place while. Congress as a whole is in recess, we can obtain a little light, and not too much heat, on the problem of devising a more equitable mechanism for providing the required revenue of the Federal Government. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas, in announcing the tax hearing plans some months ago, made these comments: “The immediate objective of tax reform is reduction in tax rates without sacrificing revenues required for responsible financing of Government. At die same time, tax reform must seek, among other things, (1) a tax climate more favorable to economic growth; (2) greater equity through closer adherence to the principal that equal incomes should bear equal tax liabilities; (3) asurance that the degree of progression in the distribution of tax burdens accords as closely as possible w*ith widelyheld standards of fairness; (4) an overall tax system which contributes significantly to maintaining stability in the general price level and a stable and high rate of use of human material resources; (5) a tax system which interferes as little as possible with the operation We Are Now Open For Business i AT OUR NEW LOCATION 211 E.

To a substantial rxtent tiiis criticism is directed ajainst provisions enacted over a ong period in the past, many of hem during the early years of World War II, to meet specific iroblems arising at the time. These jrovisions result in significant differentials in tax treatment among :axpayers depending on the source >f their income or the dreumstan:es under which they receive it.

Farm Census Sent Questionnaires far the 1959 Census of Agriculture are now in the mail and will be in the hands of local farmers within a few days, it was announced today by Fidd Director John G. Gibson of the Census Bureau’s regional office at Philadelphia. The farm census guestionnai res are being ma^ed from Chicago, Illinois with the distribution timed so that the report forms will reach farmers about a week ahead of the date when census takers will begin the Ifield canvass. The advance mailing is for the purpose of giving farm operators time to consult their records before filling in the answers required by the questionnaires and getting them ready for the census takers to pick up. This procedure is designed to insure greater accuracy of reporting and to save time both for the farmer and the census taker when the latter calls at the farm. The 1959 Census of Agriculture questionnaire is designed to provide information on the number and size of farms, acreage and harvest of crops, livestock production and inventories, selected farm facilities and equipment, selected farm expenditures, farm values, and mortgage debt.

A card of congratulations from another “October Baby”, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, highlighted the occasion.

Only the remains of the house arc standing now, according to Mrs. Pavne .The house was described as being on the SperryvilleCastleton road, j but it is located closer to Castletjon. As a tiny girl jVliss Cunningham saw Union Soldiers ride through the countryside! near her home., and in later years described their activities to her children. Her ■mother was a >iery energetic woman who worked in the fields with the men after the Civil War to help keep a home for her two daughters. At the age of (24, Miss Cunningham married John Thome, a carpenter, who died in January 1940. They had five!children: Charles V.

Rappahannock Continued from page one having as an objective increased, urban and recreational development.’* 1 DID YOU REALIZE In one area, along less than four miles of road, there were eighteen purchases of mountain land in the past ten years. The total sale value of land and improvements thereon approximate roughly $150,000.00 The improvements are still going on and will continue. Severn houses are in the planning stage at this time. In the process telephone and electric service has been added for the convenience of all along this four mile route. , The availability o /electricity has created sales of numerous appliances, has meant better preservation, of foods. Kappanannockans nave oenemed. Grocery stores, gas stations, novelty shops, restaurants, carpenters, stone masons, construction contractors, Fanners Co-op, etc, have benefited. Each dollar spent in the county is again spent over and over and over again, making more and more business for some one. What about the county? What about you ? You may not be in any one of the businesses mentioned, you may not be one of those living along this four mile streatch. YET YOU HAVE BEEN BENEFITED! Think of the increased revenue to the county without a penny’s increase in operational cost. With out it you may have had an increase in tax rate. Think it over. For example one land owner who purchased a small plot of land which ten years ago was yielding $4.55 in"taxes to rile county today adds to the county treasury ap-, proximately $60.00 per year. A couple of tracts totaling about three acres in now yielding on a per acre basis, almost five times more than it did a few yean ago. Remember these represent only one sixth of the change and change is still taking place. When you paint your house roof you pay more attention to the rooves of other houses. Improvement is contagious and attracts! Note the houses on this page: on the left is the. house as it was when No. 1 buyer came along, less the bushes he had to cut to even get to it. Trim was added to the porch, a new roof on'the back end, chimney improved. On the right was what buyer No. 2 bought. That was several years ago.

Halloween Means If8 Chestnut Time Louemma Moffett With Halloween just around tl die comer the C. £. Johnsons maj be running a risk in advertising their wonderful chestnuts. Child ren who have heard of tthe won derful “Chestnut Hunts” of yean ago, and have been pleasure because a terrible blight hestnut trees has killed all the clt may be dropping in for the traditional “trick-or-treaty on Halloween! denied that Those chestnut hunts were the high-lights of the Fall season for young_and old_.and when a sympathetic and understanding farmer cut a tree (he would use the timber for fence rails) and invited the children to come out, their joy was unbounded. The sight of the glossy brown nuts showering down was a sight never to! be forgotten. The late Bartow Brown, affectionately called “Bart” and “Cousin Bart” always cut) a tree every fall. Not only did the chestnuts afford healthy and wholesome recreation and food for country children, but they were quite a source of revenue. School books for large families were often bought with chestnuts, as well asi other items. Thousands of pounds were shipped from Rappahannock to city markets. And then the terrible blight struck. On high hills along the roads could be seen the great trees, shorn of their foliage, bark peeling off, their bare, scraggy limbs silhouetted against the sky. A sickening sight. The blight had done a complete job. But let's get back to the Johnsons. “Believe it or not”, they have been gathering chestnuts, already 75Q, pounds of theijn from their blight-proof trees, |set out some years ago. They set put 100 trees, lost only one and they are hoping to enlarge their orchard. The Johnsons have three varieties and more orders for the fresh sweet nuts than they can fill. The small chestnut is jthe most popular so they are doing a lot of grafting. Cuttings from the small variety are grafted to the trees bearing large nuts. The trees were sprayed three times during the past season. This is most important, says Mr. John STOP! AT THIS SIGN , • Designed for today**. . , and tomorrows' moet powerful •an. J.

' Mr. and Mrs. B/owning were very much interested in the trees, not only for the nuts but for the timber and fence rails. “Is there anything prettier than a rail fence j around a green meadow”, said the mistress of “Greenfield”, who loved to paint rural scenes. Mrs. William Meade Fletcher : also has a few trees at “Thornton Hill’ that are doing very well, so perhaps we will have plenty of chestnuts in Rappahannock before many years as people are getting j more and more interested in the blight-proof varieties.

Here’s A Sad, Sad Story............ Horticulturalists at VPI have always preached safety, at apple harvest time —> and now they’re" it reusing it a little more than usual. Their timely awareness that it pays to be careful when you’re picking apples was prompted by a letter which crossed their /(desk. : The author, they say, is unknown. “Dear Sirs,” the letter begins sedately enough, “I have a prob* lem to describe to you. I have an , apple tree which must be the biggest apple tree in the world. So, to harvest it I rigged up a pulley and connected a large barrel tp one end. I pulled the barrel up’to the top of the tree and secured the rope to the truck on the ground. 1 then went up the tree and picked the first barrel of apples then climbed down the tree and unhooked the line from the truck. Unfortunately, the barrel of apples was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happennig the barrel started jerking me off the ground. I decided to hang on ancKnarrway up I met the barrel of apples coming down and received a severe blow on the shoulder. I then continued to the top of the tree banging my head or* the limbs and getting my fingers jammed in the pully. When the barrel of apples hit the ground, it burst its bottom and all the appl« spilled out. I was now heavier than the barrel and so started down again at high speed. Half way down 1 met the empty barrel coning up and received severe injuries to my shins. Then when I hit the ground 1 landed on the truck rigging, getting several painful cuts from the sharp edges and corners. “At this point 1 must have lost' my presence of mind because I let go of the jine. The barrel then came down! again giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in the hospital.” This sad story really is not mudt fnore ridiculous than the things that happen all the time to people who don’t watch what they’re doing, the horticulturalists say. |jOOAL«TORi( 4-H Club Doings —.

Allan McLaren, County Agent of Madison, has extended an in* vitadon: “To attend a Field Day at R. S. Graves Brothers, Syria, (R. S. Sr.'s home) at 10:00 ajn., Thursday, October 29th, to hear a progress report of the summerlong stilbestrol trials of yearling steers an pasture and to actually see the steers. If you; graze or have an interest in yearling steers I know you’ll profit fajy this meeting that will be concluded before lunch. Curtis Mast, V.P.I. Animal Husbandman, will he featured. This’is the most comprehensive stilbestrol trials yetj conducted in this area. No one grazing or feeding eagle to slaughter grades can afford not to use stilbestrol, therefore I urge all local farmers with this type of enterprise to make a special effort to be at Graves Brothers October 29di. While I'll not be able to be there foyself, I know the Graves, Mac jand Rap will give you a warm welcome. The September “Livestock Health Bulletin" lists Rappahannock as having 1470 heifer calves. Of this number 966 head representing 65.7% had been vacrinated against. Brucellosis during the first eight months of the year! Vaccinations during September went high though not exactly known, in preparation for the van* ous calf ndec. To date 41 farms have requested 168 heifer* to be vaccinated in November I Ain’t that scrumptious! The first qualification of leadership is know-how. FED LAMB* Prospects for fed Iambs look more favorable this year than last even though prices of slaughter lambs are cheaper_the ratio is better. Any farmer ever thought of buying utility lambs, worming and feeding them for a quick profit? Think it over or better yet come by and 'lets talk it- over. LATE FALL MANAGEMEN Late Fall Management Of Alfalfa According to research: “The best fall management of alfalfa (when it is expected to keep the stand for next year) is to permit it to grow undisturbed from the last normal cutting until growth ceases in the fall. This period is usually from sometime in September until some time in November, when growth is stopped by odd weather, short days or a combination of die two. After growth stops a part of the growth may be grazed without damage to the stand, but some growth should be left for protection of the crowns and as an insulation against fluctuations in temperature which occur throughout the winter.” “Of couiee, the question of whether to cut for hay during thi* period «w* be derided between the present need for hay and the future benefit of a higher yielding, stronger and longer lived stand.” Calf sales shout over; time to think of winter management of replacements and the cow herd. Hero are a few tips considered to be sound management practices: 1. Allow the cow at (eats 30 days to ffeshen up before winter sets in. ■ ; 2, All bully should be in their pens away from the herd. 3. Make T.B. and Bangs herd tests and pregnancy tests before feeding time. 4. Cull and market poor producing cows and those to calve late (July on). 5. Worm replacement heifers and steer calves in November. 6. Spray for lice before odd weather. 7. Save best hay for young stock and for feeding cows late in season. 8. If you are in the cow-caM business you can’t afford not to have your herd enrolled in R.Q.PCheaper prices are ahead—your best way to overcome this reduction is by increasing: your percentage of a calf crop, quality and growth rate. i IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS FEEDER CATTLE SALE At Madison Livestock Marked Inc.

This change will be small but watch for some short time dips due to occasional heavy marketings. The latest (Oct. 1) estimate of cattle on feed in Virginia shows a total of 13,000 head ready for market. Of these, 66 per cent, will be marketed before the end of the year if intentions pan out. The number of cattle and calves on feed for market in 21 feeding states total 4,766,000 head on Oct. 1_an increase of 20 per cent from a year ago. Cattle feeders reported they evpect to market -approxi mately three-fourths of this number during October, November and December. If these intentions are carried out, marketings would be 24 per cent above the same period a year ago. And here’s another significant fact from the report.cattle and calves on feed in the nine North Central States are running 15 per cent over last year. So—feeder operations have definitely picked up Steam. In the next six months watch for more choice and prime cattle to come to market than the good and standard grades,—and the spread between won’t be as great. In Richmond last week choice cattle ranged from $26 to $27 with most of die good grade cattle in the state bringing $23 to $26. . HOGS We are now in somewhat of a price trough with some undertones of strength as supply rounds the hump and seasonal demand increases.

' Hu VA 64000 tthe nation last week hog receipts were up two per cent from the previous week and eight per cent from the same week a year ago. Slaughter for the last few weeks has been running above last year by about 15 per cent. And the next week or so we should reach top volume in slaughter. In Richmond last week hogs were bringing from $14.50 to $15. Southeastern Virginia was lagging behind at $13.75 to $14.50. Chicago prices last week were $13.50 to $14. TURKEYS Watch for Beltsvilles to continue to strengthen a little in price in the next few weeks. Total supply is down about last year’s level now and indications are that it will continue to decrease the rest of 59. By all means try to hit the December market with your heavy birds. It looks like slaughter will decrease for the heavies also during December and coupled with low storage holdings, Christmas market prospects look t better than Thanksgiving. In Virginia last week the Beltsvilles were bringing mostly 21 cents to 23 cents. This was one to one and one half cents a pound higher than the previous week. The heavy type hen turkeys were bringing 24 cents and this was also a penny higher. Toms were bringing 22 cents a pound. HCHT HEART DISEASE MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET JUdJson Mills, V*.
