Wind, Rain Lash Ben Venue And Amissville Area A rain and wind ■storm lashed Rappahannock County late last Thursday afternoon, with the most severe portion centered in the Ben Venue and Amissville areas. A large hay-filled barn at Bunree, the farm of D. G. Laing at Amissville, collapsed with hales of hay tumbling from its rent sides. A tractor was pinned inside the building. Mrs. A. C. Latham reported a locust tree in her yard blew over onto the porch roof. At Horner Hill Farm, owned by J. Richard Latham, on the Richmond Road at Ben Venue, fences were blown down, twothirds of the tin was ripped from a shed roof and hurled 350 yards across a field. The roof was completely torn from a large horse burn, ei'-ctric wire- downed, guttering *wisted fron, the house and boards blown from a wagon were tossed 10 or 12 feet away. Trees were uprooted and topped and limbs were strewn over highway Route 211 between Amissville and Benvenue. One fell across the road between Washington and Sperryville. Highway Department emergency crews quickly cleared all debris. The firemens parade at Flint Hill was temporarily delayed but resumed about eight o’clock.

Regular Board Of Supervisors Meeting The Hoard of Supervisors of Rappahannock County met Wednesday, /. .'jfti ;t 3 for their regular meet;:. ; of the month with alE membr: •. p . or. Ch ' n.:n, E. M.

A report—was given on the controversial Moffett Building as to renting it for use other than thg^ of the county,, with the ruling that the county cannot rent any public building to a third party if the county has use for it. At a prior meeting letters from Judge R. V. Snead and J. W. Fletcher requesting the building be used as a record room and library for court officials were read by Mr. Jones, and at that meeting a committee was appointed to see what repairs and improvements the building needed. No report was given at Wednesday’s meeting and no decision as to the use of the building was reached. Arising again was the matter of dog owners being liabel for sheep killed by their dogs. From the heated discussion ensuing, came a request for Commonwealth’s Attorney, George H. Davis, to write to the Attorney,General for a ruling which will be presented at the September meeting. Dog Warden Jack Bruce entered a claim for two sheep valued at $20 each, killed on the farm of F. R. Taylor at Sperryville. Motion was made by E. M. Estes, with a second by Herbert Foster and carried to pay same.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 8851 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).. $2.60 PER YEAB Some Economic Truths Great truths have a persistence about them that defies all the political and economic fakery and quackery that ill-advised men can contrive to circumvent and thwart them. No mattqr where we hide or how hard we may try to alter it for our purposes, truth ultimately survives, untarnished and unchallenged. We are in debt to a Midw’est business man’s group for a list of such truths that should be reviewed periodically by all of us, but perhaps the beginning of the 90-day political campaign makes it particularly appropriate to weigh and ponder them at this time. We offer for your consideration, “Ten Pillars of Economic Wisdom”: 1. Nothing in the material world can come from nowhere, nor can it be had free. Everything in our economic life has a source, a destination and a cost that must be paid. 2. Government is never a source of goods. Everything produced is produced by the people, and every thing that government gives to the people it must first take from the people. : 3. The only valuable money that government has to spend is money taxed or borrowed out of the people’s earnings. 4 When government decides to spend more than it has thus received, that extra unearned money is created out of thin air, through the banks and, when spent, takes on value only by reducing the value of all money, savings and insurance. 4. In our modern exchange economy, all payroll and employment come from customers, and the only noteworthy job security is customer security; if there are no customers, there can be no payroll and no jobs. 5. Customer security can be achieved by the worker only when the “boss” is allowed to do things that win and hold customers. Job security, therefore, is a partnership problem that can be solved only in a spirit of mutual understanding. 6. Because wages are the principal cost of everything, widespread wage increases, without corresponding increases in production, simply increases the cost of everybody’s living. 7. The greatest good for the greatest number means, in its material sense, the greatest goods for the gratest number, which in turn means the greatest productivity per worker. 8. All productivity is based on three factors: (a) natural resources whose form, place and condition are changed by the expenditure of (b) human energy (both muscular and mental), with the aid of (c) tools. 9. Tools are the only one of these three factors that man can increase, and tools come into being in a free society only when there is a reward for the temporary self-denial that people must practice in order to channel part of their earnings away from purchases that produce immediate comfort and pleasure, and into new tools of production. Proper payment for the use of tools is essential to their creation. . 10. The productivity of tools—that is, the efficiency ot the human energy applied in connection with their use—is highest in a competitive society in which the economic decisons are made by millions of progress-seeking individuals, rather than a state-planned society in which those decisions are made by a handful of powerful people— regardless of how well-meaning, unselfish, sincere and intelligent those people may be. (Chicago Daily Drovers Journal) Letter Dear F.. U.'F Imagine my humiliation ami sense ot not having done the things I should have done when 1 read in your column last week the message that vour neighbor had just given \ou! This good neighbor's message was concerning her grandchildren, two Mefhodist, two Kpiscopalians and one Baptist. Since this statement was made publicly , 1 feel that 1 should answer publicly, although she is sure 1 have no answer. Now I am writing this with her consent. 1 believe that she is the most broad-minded, liberal person I have ever known concerning the choices of the different denominations her children have made. Her only concern being that each church function as it should. While we as Methodists acknowledge and bemoan our shortcoming in teaching our children the good old Methoidst hymns, we do feel we have not been en tirely remiss in our instruction. Just to prove this, I ain giving urn a little incident that happened sometime ago when her oldest grandson was much younger than he now is. One Sunday morning he came running into her home full of the things he had been learning at Sunday School. He immediately sought out his grandmother to discuss the Scriptures with her. After trying first one piece of Scripture, then another and another and getting no knowledgeable response, he cried out in despair, "Ain’t you never heard of Jesus?”. (His English then was not as good as his Biblical knowledge.) The grandmother then in astonishment exclaimed, “Son, where did you learn all this?” "Oh,” he said. “Down at the Methodist Church!” 1 rest my case and leave the defending of the two little Episcopalians to my good friend Etta B.

Culpeper FHA Loans More In 1959-60 The Culpeper Farmers Home Administration Office loaned more initial operating loan funds in fiscal year 1959-60 than any of the other 26 FHA offices in the state. In addition, this office made more Farm Ownership loans than any other office in Virginia. This represents an increase in money loaned of $270,000, with over five times more loans made this year than in the previous fiscal year. To farmers in Rappahannock and surrounding counties this means more purchasing power for equipment, livestock, seed, fertilizer and real estate improvements. These essentials for success are being obtained at terms the fanner can meet. To merchants and businessmen in the area, all of whom are affected by the role of the farmer, this means more cash sales. It means that more of their customers are following sound farm practices. These farmers will be able to withstand the price-cost squeeze and remain as customers indefinitely. The Farmers Home Administration is not competitive witk commercial sources of credit. The agency stands ready to assist farmers who cannot obtain the credit they need at terms they can meet from commercial lenders. More farmers are becoming eligible for FHA assistance each year due to the rising cost of farming. John (r. Castle, County Supervisor in the Culpeper Office, states that one of his greatest problems is that fanners do not apply for assistance early enough. Many farmers become so heavily indebted before they apply, it becomes difficult. if not impossible, to assist them. Mr. Castle said “The Culpeper office has a tremendous potential for business. This potential has been limited in the past by lack of personnel, lack of loan funds at times, and failure to apply for assistance. The personnel and loan fund limitations will be less of a problem this year. If the eligible farmers who need assistance will apply, this office will have one of its most successful years.” The Culpeper Office, located at 505 North Main Street, Culpeper, serv es the counties of Culpeper, Orange, Fairfax, Fauquier, Greene, Madison, Prince William, Rappahannock and Stafford. 8hop«iiJS| Local erowj THIS IS TO ANNOUNCE Qofin OF THE LAKE MOTEL WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Is Now Associated With THE REAL ESTATE FIRM OF <£icj[zr 1011 K Street N.

■__ Ramblings From Rappahannock Dear Folk* Bflieve me the Ladies Auxiliary and Fire Company of Flint Hill are really on the ball. After a record breaking crowd for the 4-day carnival, they have already set the dates for next year’s carnival— August 2, 3, 4, and 5. We certainly missed getting there. Arthur and 1 had fully intended going Saturday evening, but it was a little too rough for me. I’ll be there next year, “Lord willing.” This morning when Mr. Butler - came up for breakfast, he brought me a 1 Vz lb. tomato—it is beautiful. We have the most wonderful garden a little too good. As fast as I can empty the back porch (freezing and canning), Mr. Butler fills it up again. After all the weekend rain, everyone is cutting the grass. Tom Massie just started to work on theirs and Charlie Bruce has been working on his. Guess the Keatings will come home from Georgia this week. I certainly have missed them. Hate to think about the family moving to Washington, D. C. Today at lunch Arthur and I had a real nice card from Edward Clopton. Haven’t seen much of Edward this summer. We will certainly call the next time we are in Baltimore. Why don’t you and Alex come up and visit your good friends in Rappahannock? Cards and letters from btew and i'vie. They are happy and seem to like Formosa. Of course, they have not seen any country as pretty as Virginia. They have a little dog, black cocker. Can’t remember its name, but it is a Chinese name that means “Happy.” Told them Heidi was glad to have a cousin, even if it was Chinese. I was asked to tell you folks that there was a very large attendance at Hint Hill carnival from the south end of Sperryville.Do you know what this means? I don’t. My sister, Mary Caskie Lindenblad and family are coming tomorrow with her family from New Jersey. Hard to realize she is all grown up with a family. Guess I’m older than I realize, when I stop and think about it though, all the “Tattler” gang from here, Mary (Campbell) Paulson, Frances (Miller) Wood, Dave Miller, Kit Price, Wallace Critzer, grown with families of their own. Roy! The “Tattler” used to really be hard on Arthur and me, but it was such an interesting paper.jlist couldn’t wait to get it each week and believe me, those kids said what they wanted to. It was a real “newsy” paper. Two young ones I would like to “Ramble” on about and no connection between the two, are Sandra Menefee and Richard Burke. But all I can tell you is Sandra just loves carnivals and Richard certainly does like a high mountain. Well get ready for the Amissville Firemens carnival next week. You have a whole week to rest up and be ready. By popular demand, the Culpeper Players will present “The Spider” again this weekend at Ann Wingfield- Theatre in Culpeper. I hear from those who saw it that it is wonderful. THE BIBLE Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Happiest they of human race To whom their God has given grace To read, to fear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch, and force the way; And better had they ne’er been bom Who read to doubt, or read to scorn. —Walter Scott So, until next week.

Established 1928 Phone VA5-932U BRANDY STATION, VIRGINIA Weekly Farm Price Outlook Look for eggs to resume ther seasonal rise during the next two or three weeks, perhaps moving up as much as three or four cents. Last week’s price drop apparently was an adjustment after a rapid five-six cent rise since early July. Big variable in egg prices is disof replacement pullets is well below last year and will be until about November, but with ffeplacerying a little profit, producers are hanging onto older layers. They did start to move in July. During the first three weeks, slaughter of hens was up 22 per cent from last year. The big part of these birds will be gone by November, and even though replacements will be at about last year’s level, they won’t be enough to compensate. This should keep egg prices good th rough the first quarter of 1961. Actually, total egg production in Virginia is running just a little above last year now, but the picture could change if a spell of really hot weather hits the older layers. Virginia's price for Grade A large eggs last week was 40- \A to 41 - '4, with mediums at .14 to 35 cents. New York Grade A large were 42-to 46-Va and mediums at 35-to 37-VaTurkey prices look as if they may hold for the next two or three weeks, with some possible strength in Beltsville type broilerfryers. Supplies of all type birds are below last year, and the trend over the nation seems to be to hold the birds that will make it for what looks like a rosy ThanksgivingChristmas market. This coupled with early buying of frozen birds by retailers as a hedge against fast-iising Fall prices is keeping the current market above last year and so far has prevented the summer price slump that was evident for the past two years. Slaughter of Beltsville Whites for the first three weeks of July was 16 per cent below last year and has been below for the last five months. Slaughter of heavy birds for the same three-week period was up 21 per cent from last year but hasn’t depressed the turkey market. But slaughter ot broiler-fryers, though it is below last year, has More THAN EVER ...The Symbol of Tractor Quality! More than 120 year* ago John Deere established the policy of the Deere organization when he said, "I'll never put my name on an implement that hasn't in it the best that is in me." Rigid adherence to this basic policy has resulted in a world-wide confidence and respect for John Deere products. Today, more than ever, tractors and equipment bearing this symbol fulfill this reputation. For unmatched tractor quality, come in soon and look, over the new "30" Series Tractors '. . there's one just right for you. HOFFMAN Implement Service “Service IVhen You Need It" 120 West Culpeper Street Settefo JOHN DEERE QUALITY FARM EQUIPMENT been running higher than the indicated supply of Beltsville birds, indicating that producers have been letting dual purpose whites go at the light weight. Only possible fly in the ointment seems to be that everybody is counting on a good ThanksgivingChristmas market, which might have a depressing effect this fall. Heavy tom turkeys in Virginia were 22 cents last week with hens at 24 cents, and mixed heavies at 23 cents. Beltsville types were bringing 24 to 24-</j. Don’t Be “Hit Or Miss” With Crops If you use a “hit or miss’ approach in applying fertilizer to your cropland, you're by-passing profits. Bill Lyne, County Agent, says efficient crop production calls for using the right analysis and amount of fertilizer. Crops need a proper balance between all the fertlizer nutrients to produce top yields. A total of IS elements are needed for plant production. Farmers are most concerned with three, nitrogen, phosphate and potash, Lyne says. These are the three main plant nutrients found in fertilizer. The question is whether or not every farmer is using the proper amounts of these elements that are needed for his crops. The proper balance can be obtained by using the analysis needed. Such anaing the analysis needed. Twentyeight analysis of fertilizers are sold in Virginia. A soil test will help determine the right analysis of fertilizer to use. Rased on this test and information about the soil, past history and crop to be grown, an intelligent recommendation can be made. The county agent assists many fanners each year with their fe - tilizer recommendations. Sbil boxes, soil record sheets and instructions for taking the sample can be obtained from the county agent’s office. Don't guess, but have a soil test. Most Rappahannock soils are lower in phosphate than they are in potash. For this reason when seeding small grains, mixed hays, pasture, etc., a 1-4-2 ratio may be needed. Also in many cases a 0-2-1 ratio is advisable in seeding Alfalfa. 1954 Pontiac Convertible $395 Sport Model CLORE PONTIAC CO. Fh. VA 5-9000 Culpeper ^ Va. MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET Madison Mills, Va.
