Gov. Almond Uraes Sales Tax At a press .conference in Richmond Friday, Governor Almortd expressed the feeling that a sales tax for Virginia is definitely imperatve. He disclosed plans to ask the lawmakers' to enact a 3 percent sales tax at,the convening of the General Assembly as they began their sixty-day session yesterday. Other major issues to come be’ fore the legislators is the strengthening of laws against drunk drivers and tightening billboard restrictions. The Governor addressed a joint session of the House of Delegates and State Senate yesterday on the state of the Commonwealth. We quote in part, “I extend to each and everyone of you not only the right hand of fellowship but my time and energy, and whatever assistance I may render in approaching a solution to any problem you -may have or which’ may arise at this session or thereafter. I invite you to confer with and to give me benefit of your helpful counsel and advice so that in mutual 'exchange of views we may combine and cooperate to better serve Virginia. I do not have the answers or the solutions to many of the problems which may confront us but working together we can and we must find and apply the right answers. Virginia demands this much but no less.,, Governor Almond went on to discuss the budget needs for the many departments which operate under the governmentof the State.

Legislators And Farm Bureau Get Together Legislators from Northern Virginia and Fanil Bureau Members of the Third District met January 6th at Warrenton for a “grassroots” discussion of the many problems the farmers of Virginia are asking the members of the Virginia General Assembly to consider when they meet for their 60-day gj%0 session. Farm Bureau members felt that such a meeting would be most helpful.promote a better understanding. They re-affirmed their belief that “NO representative fonn of Government can function successfully for long unless those who are elected to public office are willing..and ABLE. to accept and discharge their responsibilities courageously and.. INTELLIGENTLY.” For the information and convenience of the Legislators, (nine wens in attendance) a special booklet containing Farm Bureau Policies had been prepared, with the hope that the Legislators would keep them in their vest pockets and refer to them frequently. R. M. Ramey of Marshall, a director from the Third District, was chairman of the meeting and discussed briefly a number of farm problems. Others discussing resolutions passed at the State .Convention in Roanoke were C. E.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owher MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM,' Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (irt advance). $2,50 PER YEAR YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS fir Re1>. Burr P. Harrison Washington—Early response to the questionnaire I distributed by mail recently in the 7th Congressional Disrict indicates a rather substantial lack of confidence in the worth of the soil bank program. The acreage reserve part of this program, which was'brought to an *nd after a history of mismanagement, profiteering and political manipulation', no longer is an active issue, but the conservation reserve continues, and there are indications we shall have before uS in this session of Congress proposals for a substantial expansion of withdrawal with soil and water s'- conservation. ( Most farmers know, but it may br worthwhile to remind other readers, that the soil bank conservation reserve is separate from the so-called ACP program, under which payments are made to landowner for certain soil conservation practices.) TV Comptroller General, who is an agent of the Congress, recently submitted another in what has become a series of disturbing reports on soil bank operations. It reflects once more a picture of mismanagement and loose controls. Reading die lines, and between the lines, one cannot help but gain the impression that the soil bank, even in the conservation reserve phase, has been exploited by the shary operator, who has found it suddenly profitable to become a "farmer”. The conservation reserve may be of some value, and probably many lifetime ■ farmers have joined it in godd faith and tfave observed the letter and the intent of he program. Recurring reports by the Comptroller General and Congressional committees, however, give rise to substantial doubts that the problem of farm surpluses is being alleviated significantly by this experiment, or that the taxpayer is getting bis money’s worth. While some -of the shortcomings have been corrected by the Department of Agriculture when found, ir <diould be remembered, as the Comptroller General points out, that contracts made by the Government with indivduals within -the letter of regulations in force at the, time of signing bind the •Government to continue payments over a period ,of years. Here are just a few excerpts from the Comptroller General’s report (and it should be understood that, while he reports to Congress, he is an appointee of the President and lias no political reason to try to make Mr. Hensons department look had) : “Preliminary estimates by the Department of Agriculture show that about 5.4 million acres, or 23 percent of the estimated 2d million acres uiuler conservation reserve contracts, had been devoted to hay and pasture, had been idle or summer fallowed, or had a history of <rrdp failure. It is estimated that the payments on this land will amount to about $54,(XX),000 annually. or about $270,000,000 over the 5-year average life qjf the con1 tracts. The soil Bank /Act establishes an extremely broad authority as to the type of land that is eligible for conservation reserve participation, but it s restrictive in , that it applies to specific acreage regularly used in the production of crops.” “We found instances where unrealistic land value estimates were used by the county committees, where the county committees accepted the applicants’ estimates of land value, where applicants were in effect encouraged to increase their land value estimates.” “Land leased from the States of" New Mexico, Texas and Colorado at low lease-rental rates is participating in the conservation reserve at substantially higher rates.” “Many producers are selling cattle and mowing pasture for hay to make land eligible for conservation -reserve. ITiis land is already in peYennial grasses and legumes and would remain except for conservation reserve program.” “In July 1956, a farmer purchased about 280 acres of land, including 139 acres of cropland for $5,000. Ij the entire purchase price was assigned" to the 139 cropland acres, the cropland cost would be about $36 an acre. Substantially all the cropland acres were placed in the conservation reserve under a 5-year contract. Under this contract, the farmer will receive am nual rental payments of $9.70 for each acre of cropland placed in the reserve, or a total of about $6,400 over the period of the contract. Through the conservation reserve participation of these cropland acres (about 50 percent of the land purchases), the farmer is able to more than recover the full $5,00 purchase cost of the entire acreage.” Concerning Custom, Clothes And Color h Louemmr. Moffett Some years ago a friendly young man came to Rappahannock to live. As was to be expected, he made friends quickly. Among them was an old bachelor who lived near where the young man worked. He lived alone and the friendly young man stopped by often to see him, visits that were much appreciated. Then.the old man med. Naturally the young man was much distressed. He was asked to be one of the pallbearers and felt that he wanted to do, properly, this last thing for his friend. But, he had no suit, suitable to be worn by a pallbearer, so he hastened to Front Royal and bought a black broadcloth suit. This hristmas, 1959, one of Rappahannock’s highly respected and loved “boys” received a gift from a much loved relative. He wanted her to know that he appreciated it very much and tried to make her understand. So, he wrote thusly: (we take the liberty of paraphrasing) Dear ' Thank you so very much for my wonderful Christmas gift. It was -sweet of you to remember me so thoughtfujly. As you know, I only wear a tie on the most important occasion, the funeral. I feel, that at such a time one should always be properly dressed out of respect for (he deceased, so I shall, at the next funeral I attend, wear,-|he beautiful- bright red tie you so thoughtfully gave me. Interest Increasing In Civil War Centennial It is increasingly apparent that an entirely new attitude towards the Civil War Centenriial is developing in Virginia and in the entire South. Interest is being taken in places where some time ago they just didn’t seem to care. What has bought this about is a matter of opinion. However, there are a number of facts that are highly significant. One is, that Karl S. Betts, Executive Director, has announced that the Post Office Department has 'been asked for thirty commemorative stamps over the Centennial period and the south has reason to believe now, that the Confederacy will have their share of them. They have been very' unhappy for some time about the “stamp situation.” Another fact that has added up to enthusiasm is that South Carolina’s request that her Commission be called.not the “Civil War Commission” but the "Confederate Centennial-Commission”, was granted. The South’s humor is improving and snatches of old war songs are being heard with no touch of bitterness. “Old Horace Greeley, He writes very freely, His abolition sentiments recording, But.just let us catch him down South, We sure will shut his mouth. And land him on the other side of Jordon.” Rock Mills News Mrs. Barbara Reid Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pawley were in Front Royal Saturday and in Culpeper Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy Reid and children were Sunday visitors of Mrs. Warren Corbin and Mrs. Francis Reid in Sperryville. Week end guests of Mrs. Corbin and Mrs. Reid were Mr. and Mrs. Davis Nicholson of Baltimore. Weekend guests of Mrs. Josie Wharton were her daughter Miss Lillie Wharton and Johnny Johnson of Washington, D. C. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy Reid and family and Mrs. Elsie Griffith were in Front Royal last Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Southard and family were in Front Royal on Saturday and visited Mrs. Ronnie Burke and baby in Warren Memorial Hospital. Mission Work In Cuba Continuing Mission work in Cuba was studied Tuesday by members of the Woman's Society of the Baptist Church at Washington. Recent developments in Cuba were discussed and the opinion of members was that it was impossible to get a true picture of conditions there at this time, however, mission work there is continuing. It was stated that items totaling approximately $180,000 for Cuba are included in the 1960 Annie Armstrong Christmas offering. Miss Margaret Compton, treasurer of the Society, reported that the Washington Society had contributed $100 to that fund. The land reform laws of Cuba proved most interesting, as they are so closely related to the welfare of the people they are there to help. It was pointed out that some farms here contain 500,000 acres, while hundred of thousands of Cubans are barely existing on very small portions of land. In spite of the unrest in Cuba, the Baptist Home For The Aged outside of Havana, , has become a reality, even during these troubjed times. The Cuban Baptist Hospital in Havana is growing in usefulness and nfluence. Mrs. Gilbert Updike was in charge of the meeting which was followed by a social hour with tea. tBOOPtSaOOPPPBOOOPQOPOOOi Rapp-Chats By W. d. LYNE County A«ent [KXXX»XX»**X<*X*XXXX%X%: . Presently there are five Rappar hannock cow herds enrolled in the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association’s record-of-performance testing program. Two of the herds were enrolled in 1954, two in 1956 and one in 1958. As of January 1960 these herds represented 384 cows and 19 bulls. Since these herds were entered in the program 86 cows and 6 bulls have been culled because of poor records of performance. Because of superior performance records, 194 heifers have been retained as herd replacements. In reply to a questionnaire* each member felt other feeder calf producers should enroll their herds. Increased costs in herd management, labor, etc. was indicated as being negligible. Other comments regarding the program: “Believe it pays and that is what we are after.Profit”; “Best tdol for selecting. best cows”; “My herd income trend has been obscured by other factors, my herd has just reached the desired number of head, except to do extensive culling in the next two years.” Actual feeder calf sale consignContinued on page ten FARM BUREAU Continued from page one giving aid to illegitimate children. He recommended a closer study of the Old Testament...,..especally the Seventh Commandment. (M r. Johnson was a trifle worried during his talk.explaining that he had left his umbrella somewhere). There were those who* didn't quite understand but assumed that it was all right. Others discussing resolutions were: Captain Gaines, Sales Tax; M r. Kemper, Forestry; M r. Campbell, Gas Tax and Mr. Wheatlcv, the Water Situation. Mr. Ramey brought to the attention of ' those attending the meeting a serious problem that had not been previously considered by the Virginia Farm Bureau.i.e. Drivers of Emergency Vehicles. He described in detail a careening ambulance, patient inside, that passed him three times on the road from Warrenton to Charlottes*ville. Mr. Ramey suggested that drivers of emergency vehicles be more carefully selected. All of the Legislators gave their undivided attention to all that was said and agreement apparently existed on the sales tax, forestry', education and water conservation. There was a difference .of opinion as to how the refund on gas for farm use was to be handled. The question: should the farmer have three, four or twelve months to put in his bill? The four month period seemed to be favored by the majority, but there were no positive commitments by members of the Assembly. An excellent dinner preceedetl the “get-together” at the “grassroots level” and everybody seemed to be interested and to be having a good rime. CHARCOAL STEAKS CHICKEN IN-TH E-ROUGH Entrance to!

RAPP CHATS Continued from page tux* merit records of one of these herds shows that in but four years the grade iipproved 42 c/c and the average weight had come up 121 lbs. per head. This represents useage of B.C.I.A. records. It meant culling 49 cows from a 75 cow herd in five years. It meant selecting from B.C.I.A. herds 96 superior heifers for herd replace' ments. One herd bull was culled because he did not sire calves of d&irable performance. Selection of two herd bulls was made because of .desirable performance which is highly transmissable to their calves. All five of the herd owners reported the keeping of records was “no” or “not” serious trouble. With cattle prices on a downward trend these men are scotching the reduction of net income in so far xs management practices are concerned; things within their control. Costs are not high per calf as comparer! to unit costs in other similar here! improvement programs practiced by producers of other types of livestock. What producer can not afford to invest 63c75c per calf, or even a couple of bucks, which is considerably above B'.C.I.A. rates, if he increases his income $15.00 per calf? Remember one Rappahannock County man has already increased his calf value bet/ ter than $30.00 per head. I say the commercial breeder can’t afford not to have his herd in BICA .if you think otherwise, you’ve got to show me. As far as when is the best time to enter a herd is concerned, my answer is most anvtinte Before the calves are bom. If plan to start NOW._..start keying birth dates and identifying calves with their dams by use of metal par tags. For further information copie by the office and let’s talk it over. But all remember there is nothing in the near future for beef cattle but lower prices. You can offset a lower .price per pound by a BCIA program that will increase the weight of your calves.
