Rappahannock News, June 2, 1960

Industry Fledges Now Total 95 Percent The Rappahannock Industrial Committee, at a meeting held on Tuesday evening, May 31 at the courthouse in Washington, reported that 95% of the goal of the $40,000 needed to establish an industry in Rappahannock County, has been pledged. The remaining sum of $2,00 is all that is needed to assure the location of a manufacturing plant in the county. A labor survey is progressing very satisfactorily with over a hundred replies the first week, stating interest in employment. If you have received a survey card and have not returned it, the committee requests thaf you return it to a member of the committee as soon as possible. A meeting with a representative of the manufacturing company is now beingarranged for some time in June. The date of the meeting will be announced in this paper. 4-H Clubs Annual Rural Life Sunday Sunday morning, May 29, the 4-H Clubs of Rappahannock, held their annual observance of Rural Life Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church. Using the liturgy of the Epi.^popal church, the foMowing 4-H members conducted the service: Tish Kilby, Tommy Lillard, Janice Dodson, Judy Kay Lillard and David Lyne. The choir, made up of 4-H members, sang a special anthem at the offertory. They were accompanied by Dana Snead at the organ. Four articles, soil, seed, bread and material, especially symbolizing the life and work of the 4-H members, were offered. Those participating in this offering were: Virginia Bradford, Kathryn Nalls, Harrison; Powers and Mark Harris. LTshering for the service were Ronnie Hawkins and David Palmer. Feeder Pig Sale The first Feeder Pig Sale in this area was held at Culpeper Enterprises Mpy 26 with 508 head averaging 6 3pounds, fetching $23.01 per hundred weight or $14.46 per head. The entire lot went to seven buyers with the majority going to Oakland Stock Farm of Richmond, Va. and J. W. Wells of Delaware. All pigs were graded by representatives of the State Division of Markets and sold by grade and weight wjith a 10 pound spread by pens up through 60 pounds and a wider spread thereafter. Forty-one and one half percent of the offering graded No. 1. Rappahannock producers having pigs in the sale were: IH. S. Barksdale, J. F. Massie, J. E. Yates and Updike Brothers. Future sales are scheduled for July 28th, September 27th and November 30th. Several producers predict such sales will mean as much to the swine industry as the reeder Calt Sales mejan to the cattle industry. Rappahajinock County could well be a feeder pig producing county, however,; like our cattle business, market hog production fits but few of our ^arms because of scarcity of top quality corn land. Producers who will have feeder pigs to sjell weighing from 30-120 pounds arid are interested in marketing them through an organized sale should contact Jim Yates of Boston, Jim Massie of Amissville or your county agent’s office.

NEWS v * ''' PUBUfiHBD THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, ftappahannock County, Virgin^ m TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 28|1 m BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor — ---1--—-— -;Entered as Second Class Mail at the Poet Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (4 advance). 12.50 PER YEAR Letter To The Editor To The Editor of the News: Residents 6f our county generally are hoping that the new industrial enterprise, for which capital is being raised, will prove successful. This would mean that many local people, who could be trained to perform the jobs that would beprovided, would have gainful employment' This in turn would mean more money circulating in the various communities, to the benefit of tradesmen and others. It would be advisable, however, for prospective investors in the project to realize that any business proposition necessarily involves i isks. ^Market conditions change. Styles change. Business trends change. It is not always possible for business managers to forsee and adjust to such changes. It is unfortunate to note the following statement appearing in the News of May 26, concerning the new project, “your investment will pay S (,/r interest for ten years, at the end of which time the pledge w ill be repaid.” Without question the promoters hope and sincerely believe that these expectations will be fulfilled. The honesty of their convictions can surely <be assumed. And many will no doubt feel that the chances < are such results will be realized. Rut there is still a difference between probability and certainty.^ The future of no business enterprise, or for that matter, any other type of enterprise, can be spelled;, out with such positive finality as. this. B. H. Patterson Dear Reader* As the quote go<S, “Nothing’s sure but death and taxes.” My job as an editor is to report the news as I see it or as it is presented to me. When I state in the paper that such and such a meeting will be held on such and such a night at such and such an hour, I can not solemnly swear that this will occur for there is a force greater than I in control. Could I definitely predict the future 1 surely wouldn’t be in the newspaper business.' However, I. firmly agree that anyone investing money should calculate the risks involved, whether it be in a factory, a herd of cattle or a crop of apples. I appreciate your letter and like to hear the views of the readers on any and all subjects 1 wish more readers would express themselves. The Editor CHARCOAL STEAKS CHICKEN IN-THE-ROUGH Entrance to SKYLINE DRIVE Belle Boyd RESTAURANT Front Royal, Va, YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS />r Rr/. fiurr p. Harrison Washington—John J. Rooney, a Brooklyn (N.Y.) lawyer, has been for some years chairman of the IHouse of Representatives subcom'mittee in charge of appropriations for the Department of State. Mr. Rooney is a painstaking man. He takes his work seriously, although he is not without humor. As he moves down a list of appropriation items, one gets the impression that he has the old-fashioned idea that $50,000 is a considerable sum of money. Congressman Rooney would not win any popularity polls in the State Department’s huge new headquarters building in Washington’s “Foggy Bottom” section, and it is likely that his name has been mentioned in a tone of contemptmore than once over cocktails and canapes when our diplomats ease their cares at a Georgetown soiree. He has the annoying habit of suggesting that the diplomatic service should not be regarded by its members as a sort of worldwide country club, in which an individual’s cultural and recreational opportunities overseas permit him to forget that the taxpayers of the United ^States have placed him where he is to represent their interests. Mr. Rooney recognizes the need for a State Department, but he believes in a “no nonsense” operation with a minimum of frills, and he does not recognize any diplomatic immunity from accountability for waste of public funds. His attitude has disturbed some persons of standing in his own party, including Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, but Mr. Rooney continues to put on the record, for the Congress and citizens generally to evaluate, the often lame “justifications” of individual appropriation items. Mr. Rooney is not the only capable interrogator on appropriations, but these excerpts from his questioning of Assistant Secretary of State for Peisonnel Aaron S. Brown during State Department appropriation hearings this year are of interest as an indication of why Mr. Rooney spurred to continue digging into the figures.and why tile cost of running our Federal (iovernment is approaching $80 billion a year: Mr. Rooney: 1 find a gentleman here, a foreign service officer, class 6. He got an “A” in Chinese and you assigned him to London. Mr. Brown: Yes, sir. That of1 icer will have opportunities in London not as many as he would have in Hong Kong, for example. Mr. Rooney: what will he do? Spend his time in Chinatown? Mr. Brown: No, sir. There will be opportunities in dealing with officers in the British Foreign Office who are concerned with Far Fastern Affairs. The British have foreign language specialists as well as we do. Mr. Rooney: So instead- of speaking English to one another, they will sit in the London office and talk Chinese? Mr. Brown: Yes, sir. Mr. Rooney: Is that not fantastic? Mr. Browp: No, sir. They are anxious to keep up their practice. Mr. Rooney: Pan you describe to me how this would happen? This officer, who is an FSO-6, probably would not be on too important a mission to the British Foreign Office, would he? Mr. Brown: That is correct. Mr. Rooney: But he has a counterpart in the British Foreign Office who also is studying Chinese and they sit down and talk Chinese together; is that right? Mr. Brown: Yes, sir.

LYNE j County Agent \ lotsooaocooopoooooocsootc? Charlie Funkhouser, one of Clark j County’s more successful farmerjs, has a wide reputation as an outstanding sheep producer. Along With some recent correspondence, ] Charlie sent me orte of his attractive ‘‘hand-outs” pertaining to his Sheep business. An impressive exerptjis as follows: Facts You Can ‘Ewes" 1. Sheep are the most efficient utilizefs of farm roughage. 2. Sfieep give a better return per dollar invested than any other type livestock. 3. Most farms have sufficient equipment to run a small flock of sheep. 4. The grain and concentrate requirements per sheep are very small. 5. Sheep are very docile animals and safe to have around the homestead. 6. You can produce and market a crop of lambs and wool in less than twelve months after purchasing ewes. 7.Sheep graze well with cattle. We suggest an equal number of ewes and cows on the same pasture. The sheep wTT*eat some plants that cattle do not and a cow with calf-by-side helps protect the sheep from dogs. In his article. “Possibilities For Commercial Sheep in Virginia”, which was published ini the 1960 VPI Block and- Bridle Annual, George Littleton, as always, gives some facts you can "ewes”, in such a way as only George can send the message; therefore I give you the article verbatum: ‘‘For the good of Virginia’s agriculture, the commercial sheep business should be increased on many farms and included on many others not now growing sheep. In a recent comparison of the evaluation of sheep with the revenue produced for our State, every ewe in Virginia handled under every kind of management whether up hill or down, low land or mountain, lacked only 35c each of returning annually the total amount invested in them. This is important when you can buy a flock of sheep and with one year’s production pay the total bill. There is no other forage eating livestock that will come as nearly paying back every dollar of its investment year after year as will sheep. “The one agricultural product underproduced, especially in the East and South, is sheep. In general, the United States divides it self into two thirds. One third of the United States produces from 3 to 8 % in each state of the total lambs and wool produced in the country. Another third produces from i to 3% and th<* poor old East and South produce less than 1 % in any state except Virginia. We are not gikers, though, when it comes to eating lantb, for the East and South is closest to the greatest consumption area in the United States. On the average size map of the United States, you can place a dollar bill over the greater New York area and a 50c piece on the two big cities in California and with these two pieces of money you have covered 80% of the lamb consuming area of the United States. “The Kosher trade in the East which produces lamb meat for Jewish folks is the greatest blessing the sheep business has. This trade require high quality Iamb which we produce in the East and Sonth. It requires that they be eaten within 72 hours after they are slaughtered. This plays right into the hands of our nearby sheep business, we are only an overnight run from these killing centers that can deliver to the New York area. The imported lamb from New Zealand and other countries must come in as frozen carcasses.

S. Department of Agriculture today announced a marketing quota penalty rate of $1.08 per bushel on ‘‘excess” wheat of are 1960 crop. As directed by law, the rate of the marketing quota penalty is 45 per cent of the parity price per bushel of wheat as of May 1 of the calendar year in which the crop is harvested. The current parity for wheat is $2.39 per bushel. Growers approved marketing quotas for the 1960 wheat crop on July 23, 1959. When wheat marketing quotas are in effect, a farmer who does not comply with the wheat acreage allotment established for his farm is subject to a penalty on his farm marketing excess, unless he harvests 15 acres or less or has signed an agreement permitting him to produce up to 30 acres of wheat for feed use on the farm. Wheat produced on a farm on which the wheat acreage is in excess of the allotment is not eligible for price support. The national average minimum support price for 1960-crop wheat is $1.77 per bushel, which was 75 per cent of parity as of July 1, 1960, if this is higher. M. C.

The poor quality lambs produced in the West cannot easily enter the Kosher trade because they demand more finish and better shape and eating quality than is possible with non-mutton lambs. “Successful future farmers will be doing personality farming. It will be balanced in every respect and sheep will be one of the balance wheels. Sheep will furnish the insurance for beef cattle because when pastures are properly stocked with beef cattle, which eat few wild and undesirable pasture plants, we can stock one sheep per animal unit of beef and balance out the grazing in the fields because of their love of weeds and wild plants. In a recent USDA test, the association of sheep and cattle together in a pasture field caused both to gain better. The people in Virginia who discourage sheep and cattle running together upon the premise that the parasite problem becomes too great, must simply take another look because research will not back up the claim. In almost every respect ,sheep will add to the balance of a modern, effic FOR SALE—Baby bed, stroller and teeter-babe. Mrs. Wallace Critzer Phone 2101 Washington, Va.

To me the positive approach is more realistic. I believe that sheep ought to be recommended as a dignified, profitable, sound system of agriculture that has a contribution to make and can stand the financial reverses of depressions and hard times. Students can well be proud to hold their chin high and boast of being interested in sheep and ready and willing to make a career out of this class of livestock. ‘‘Sheep comply completely with the conservation philosophers in that they must have 90% at least of their living from hay and pasture. These forages naturally are soil and water conserving crops and tend to hold the earth together. Sheep are likewise proponents of making running water walk because they will not drink of swiftIv running water. They wait for it to become pooled. “So because of the soundness of the investment in sheep and their profit making possibilities and due to their having been underproduced in the United States at present, it is logical to believe firmly that the economic safety of them. Because of greater consumption close to us and due especially to the Kosher influence, there can be no lessing of consumption by people close to our sheep pastures. Their contribution to balanced farming and their strict compliance with conservation practices make them likewise acceptable in modern agriculture. We can be confident in our sincere interest in the soundness for the future.’’ i Rappahannock’s sheepl population is dwindling. The cost-price situation of many of our other “natural” is making net profit smaller and income cases nil. Finding sheep shearers is no longer a problem. Our cow herds, which must always be the main enterprise on a farm, are the best natural protection sheep can have against dogs. Both types reproduce at the same time, are put out from the farmstead to graze at the same time and so a cow with a calf at side hating a dog more.than any other time afford the most protection to sheep when it is needed most.
