Food Grain Program Discussed By ASC The recently, enacted 1961 feed grain program applies only to producers of corn and grain sorghum, H. S. Barkedale, Chaiiman, Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. It dose not apply .to producers of other feed grain only. In reply to inquiries as to how the program affects farmers who produce “other” feed grains..such as barley, oats or rye, the Chairman explained that a fanner’s participation in the 1961 feed grain program will be calculated from records of his farm’s corn and grain soighum production during the base years 1959 nd 1960. From these records will be determined the “minimum” amount of acreage the grower must divert from such production into a soil-conserving use, and also the rate of payment applicable to the farm. For diverting acreage under the program, the corn and gQtin sorghum producer will receive a special payment, and he will be eligible for price support on the normal production of his 1961 corn and grain sorghum acreage and also on all his other feed grain crops— barley, -oats, and ryti"--1 - - wnere a ranner <na not piouuye either corn or grain sorghum in 1959 and I960, and where he does not intend growing these terops this year, the feed grain program does not affect him at all. Such a farmer will be able to obtain price support on his “other” feed grains just as in other years, without regard to the feed grain program. Producers of corn and grain sorghum will find it definitely to their advantage to participate in the feed giajn program, Mr. Barksdale declared. Besides qualifying for price support in 1961 feed grains, the cooperator will be assured of an income from the'diContinued on page five Prentiss Green*way Wins At Casanova i Prentiss Greenaway of Leeway Farm, Washington, Va. captured the trophy for The Tintern race Sunday at Casanova.

r RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING :> At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2861 BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. Average number of copies sent paid subscribers . 900 SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) „r.$2.50 PER YEAR WHAT THE MAILBOX CONFERENCE REVEALS Now that spring is Here and the North Wind a little milder, the “Mail Box Conferences” are on the increase. Some time back they were held daily—now twice daily as the paper-men come by in the morning and in the afternoon also. Notice we said men. Until recently members of the “Mail Box Conference” were satisfied with one paper_jiot so now. They want to know as much as they can what all the Editors and all the Columnists have to say—They want to know both sides of the many questions that affect their newspapers to help them. Clustered around the mail boxes are the paper tubes, and .do those grass roots fellows go for their papers! They prance around like young colts, sometimes scantily clad until they get their paper_then they settle down for a while until they have gotten “the dope” on the things they are currently discussing. They were all agreed this morning, April 20, 1961, on several points. They all wanted to hang Adolph Eichmann_although they thought hanging wasT too good for him. They expressed their admiration (for telling the truth) of John Peters, a 42 year-old pricing specialist from General Electric Co., who testified before the “Estes Kefauver Committee." Peters said, and was heard by many Tuesday evening on TV, “There is no question in my mind, that it is legally wrong, and morally wrong, to have price agreements.” "Then why,” asked Chairman Estes Kefauver (D. Tenn.) did you go to the meetings?” “I think I got into it in the beginning when I was young. I wa? naive. I was impressed by the manager of marketing inviting me to a meeting. I just don’t know,” Peters replied. “Pathetic,” was the comment of a in ember of the conference. “When fine talented young men go to work for a great company that proclaims itself one of the best, he has a right to expect that he can t;ust and respect his superiors.” Peters admitted that he learned a bitter lesson. He said, “I’ve been severely burned. I’m a young man. I have years ahead of me in business and I am not going to jeopardize my career.” “If we just had more like Peters,” said a member of the Mail Box Conference. “And like Kefauver,”* said another. irginia’s Art By Leslie Cheek, Jr. Director, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Hie nationally known director of the State Museum describes the great masterpieces of art in the Museum’s collections—the cultural heritage of all Virginians. This is one of a series of articles which will appear each week during the Virginia Museum’s 25th Birthday year. Clay and the Goddess ANCIENT CREEK VASE Clay has been put to an infinity of uses during the long history of mankind. The most noble of these uses was that given this lovely material by the Greek vase makers. Anyone who has ever worked with clay knows that it is impossible to improve on the shapes developed by these master craftsmen, shapes always so right and so respectful of the nature of clay that it is impossible to imagine anything more suitable or more beautiful. In addition to this basic rightness of shape, the Greeks also developed an equal nobility of decoration which was always worked out by means of various colored clays. The body of the vase itself was usually allowed to show through into the decoration, giving an added integration to the entire scheme. The Greek vase painters knew exactly how to shape their panels and their figures within those panels so that the total effect would achieve a triumph of unity. Many involved theories have been propounded during the last two centuries in an effort to explain this “system", but none of them have been thoroughly convincing. The VI Century B. C. black figured amphora in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, purchased in 1960 through the Glasgow Fund, is a vase which is noble both in shape and decoration. The panel on the obverse depicts the birth of Athena, the protectress of Athens where her special rites were celebrated during the Panathenaea, a process which carried the new robes nf the goddess through the city and which is especially well known to; us through the sculptured frieze of the Parthenon. On the vase Athena may be seen emerging, full grown and fully armed, from the head of the enthroned Zeus who had swallowed her mother because of a prophecy that the child would become stronger than he. Hephaestus split the skull of Zeus in order to facilitate the birth of Athena and she fulfilled the prophecy by becoming the goddess of war, of counsel, and the protectress of many Greek Continued on page ten Hillsdale DRIVE-IN THEATRE SHOW STARTS 7:30 P.

Cancer Fund Drive The American Cancer Society estimates that 8,900 Virginians will develope cancer during 1961 and, at present j rates, only onethird will survive. Even though a third will be saved, the figure should and could be “one-half saved.” Earlier and better treatment is saving the lives of two out of every six persons who get cancer today, but the survival rate couldi be three out of every six. That is, if more persons would have annual medical'check ups and if they would heed the danger signals of cancer and see their physicians promptly. In Virginia, several hundred persons die of cancer each month. Preliminary figures for the state show that in 1960 there were 4,627 deaths from cancer. In the United States, cancer is the second leading cause of death. The national death rate has been rising steadily aind in 1960 about 265,000 Americans died of cancer; in 1959 the figiure was 259,000. This year about 270,000 Americans will- die ofi cancer and 785, 000 will be under medical care for AUCTION At the farm located 2 miles west of Catlett, Va., on Rt. 605 or 2 miles north of Calverton, Va.!, on Rt. 603.

Card Of Thanks We wish to thank our friends, neighbors and relatives for their many acts of kindness during our recent bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Anderson Sawfly Less Prominent In Pines The Virginia pine sawfly, which has been epidemic throughout much of eastern Virginia since 1958, is expected to be less active this spring. An insect survey recently completed by the Virginia Division of Forestry indicates a possible drop in sawfly damage over the Piedmont section of the state. Predictions are based upon an extensive sampling for over-wintering eggs of die sawfly laid on pine foliage last November. Ten trees were sampled in each of one hundredforty selected pine stands in eleven counties with branches being shot from trees for sampling. A 650 mile road survey was also made outside the sample areas to help delineate the range of die infestation and to predict its future course. Virginia pine sawny causes extensive defoliation of pine trees in the spring of the y$ar when the larvae feed upon the old growth needles before the new needles develop and grow. Pine trees are not usually killed by this insect but the trees become unsightly, generally lose their vigor after repeated attacks and show a decided slow down in growth rate. Trees repeatedly defoliated by this insect often become susceptable to attack by other insects and to disease which may kill them. The larvae, which feed heavily on the needles of pine trees in the spring of the year and particularly on Virginia Pine, are about one inch long, light to dark green in color and have black bands down their backs and sides with some black dots. Sawflies get their name from the characteristic saw-like blade which is used by the adult female insect to lay her eggs in the edges of pine needles. Forester William C. Vernam stated that Virginia Pine sawfly defoliation in Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties is expected to be light to negligible this spring. Considerable defoliation (over 50% of the foliage removed) is still expected in the counties of King Sc Queen, Essex, Announcing GORHAM STERLING 130th Anniversary Spectacular Save 25% On CHANTILLY The World’s most famous Sterling design Now through May 13th For the first and only time you can own famous Chantilly at a wonderful savings All place settings and serving pieces included In sale Four Piece Plaice Setting NOW 321.00 Regularly $28.00 Dont miss this marvelous opportunity to either start your sterling or add to it.

It will also probaably be quite evident in portions of the counties lying to the east and south of those just mentioned. Defoliation should be considerably lighter but still noticable (20% to 50% of the foliage removed) in eastern Mecklenburg and western Brunswick and Dinw i d d i e; southern Cumberland; southeastern Buckingham and Louisa; and parts of Amelia, Notto way, Lunenburg, (joocniand, Powhatan, Hanover, Chesterfield and Henrico. i The Virginia pine sawfly usually hatches during the last week in March in central Virginia and about the middle of April in Northern portions off the state. Larval feeding usually covers a period of about 5 to 6 weeks with signs of defoliation being noticed about a week after feeding starts.

Mountain Riin Watershed Wins National Award At Congress In Utah The Mountain Rujn Watershed, located in central Culpeper County. Virginia, was selected as the National Award Winner at the Eighth Annual Conference of the National Watershed Congress, which is meeting in zona this week. Culpeper Mayor T. I. Martin and L. Soil Conservationist Conservation Servicje, United States Department of Agriculture, received the award the Culpeper Soil District, the Town and the Mountain Run Watershed Association. The Honorable Jack Daniels, Delegate to the General Assembly from Chatlotte County and Chairman of the State Soil Conservation Committee also attended from Virginia. B.

Chairman of the Awjt tee, is an annual awa standing watershed the fifty states. The of a plaque accomp; tation. This was the third annual presentation of the awa'd. The first Watershed Project jof the Year was the Salem Fork {Watershed in Harrison County, VVest Virginia in 1959.«Last year the award went to Six Mile Creek ^Watershed in Logan and Franklin Counties, Arkansas. | The Upper West (Fork of Cypress Bayou Watershed in Bossier Parish, Louisiana which received second place honors in 1960, was selected as a co-win aer this year with the Mountain Run Watershed. The Mountain Run Watershed occupies an area of 28,700 acres in central Culpeper County. Culpeper, the county seat, depends on thia stream which flows through the town as their source of water for the municipal supply. The towa on numerous occasions has been plagued by both floods and water shortages. The Town Council was interested in co-sponsoring and developing the watershed not only from this standpoint but also from the angle of improving agriculture in its trade area, as well. All of these factors prompted the town to co-sponsor the project along with the Culpeper Soil Conservation District and to lend financial support to the entire project. The Mountain Run Watershed Project is basically agricultural with flood prevention and water storage as secondary features. The application of proper conservation measures to each acre in the watershed has been the goal of the Culpeper Soil Conservation District and the Watershed Association. Protection of lands above the flood retarding structures is paramount in preventing siltation of the lakes and ultimate loss of the water storage. The treatment of each and every acre of land in the watershed according to its needs and capability for conservation and improvement is the basic fundamental in the development of any watershed. MRS.

Phone 2121 Weekly Farm Price Outlook CORN Look for corn prices to continue close to present levels for the next two or three weeks. There probably will be very little gain until after mid-May. If you are wondering whether to sign up under the new government grain program, here are a few sidelights you may have missed. If you want a price support loan on your corn, you will have to have approved farm storage until at least next April, maybe until June. With Virginia support at about $1.31, this might be the year to build it. You can even apply for a loan to help build it. In figuring, “remember that the government will do everything it can to hold cash com prices low, maybe as low as $1 to $1.05. Big question is, can they do it, with sales from government storage limited to the equivalent of signup acreage plus “out-of-condition” grain. Apparently the government thinks it can, but the corn futures market indicates the trade thinks next year’s cadi com will be higher. Remember if you sign up to divert, you can’t harvest any crop or graze livestock on the diverted acres. You can plant a crop for harvest next year. If you sign up to divert but don’t want price supports, you can collect between $22 and $50 an acre for the diverted land, and still feed the corn. Ear com, corn silage and wet corn are all considered corn under the program. Payments, varying by counties, are listed in youir ASC office on the basis of county average yields. If your average is above or below, your acre rate will be adjusted accordingly. If you do sign, the ASC office will give you cash for your certificate at the time you get it, and it might be a good idea to take it, even if you want grain instead. There is no CCC corn in Virginia. The only place you can swap a certificate for com is with a grain dealer, and he may discount your certificate. Cash will always buy corn. Com in Richmond last week was quoted at $1.19 a bushel for Number 2 yellow, with the Valley at $1.30 to $1.36 and Norfolk at $1.15. EGGS Egg prices ought to hold close to present levels for another two weeks or so, but look for a drop before mid-May. Prices have been pretty steady now since the big drop just before Easter, but this is the time of year for seasonal price sags in eggs.

Phone WH 8-4460 Day or Nite of last year on March 1, but storage interests are still holding off, with an eye to fall possibilities. As of April 1, the total number of layers in the nation was two per cent less than last year, but a higher rate of lay gave us a few more eggs for total production. Egg-type chicks hatched during the past 10 months ending April 1 were up 28 per cent over a year earlier. The bulk of replacements came later la9t year, so there is little likelihood of producers turn-' ing diem loose this summer. However, it is still too early to tell what the additional replacements will do to total layers or to egg production. Eggs in Virginia last week were quoted at 33 to 34 for Grade A large, 31 to 32Vii for mediums and 20 to 22 for smalls. New York Grade A large were 34 to 371/ja, mediums 32 to 33.

The panel on the reverse of the Museum’s vase shows the first labor of Herakles, his struggle with the Nemean lion, one of the twelve labors imposed on him in expiation for his slaughter of his children by Megara. Thus the decoration on both sides of the vase celebrate the ascendency of nobility, that is strength, protection and veneration, jver murky and shameful acts through the performance of impossibly miraculous tasks.
