RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virgu 1a r TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 2851 f .BASIL C. BURKE, JR. Owner * MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM. Managing Editor Entered as Second Claae Mail at the Poet Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance).-. 82.50 PER YEAR ; Letter To The Editor 2807 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Fredericksburg, Va. December 16, 1961. To the editor of the Rappahannock News, Washington, Virginia. Sir t j On December 1, 1961, a person was brought into Rappahannock, Co. court charged with unlawfully hunting on posted property. The person charged with unlawful hunting on posted property had a gun, a hunting license, was oi> posted property and did Not have written permission to hunt on the land where he was questioned or the surrounding territory which was also posted. His defense was that he was not hunting only passing through to get to his car. The decision of the court: Not Guilty. COMM.E.IN 1 and QUESTIONS If it is a good defense to claim, “that I was not hunting only passing through to get to my car”, then what protection does a landowner have under the law, and why go to the trouble and expense of placing posters on your property? It would appear to me that this decision of the court would open the door to every hunter who desired to hunt on posted property by the mere pretext that he was not hunting only passing through to get to his car. ' There' are hundreds of persons who can assure you that die decision of the Supreme Court was pi error when it handed down the decision" that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and there are even those who can tell you what God intended concerning it. I am more than willing to plead ignorant of what God’s intention was about anything and everything and accept the ruling of the Supreme Court without reservation, but I cannot agree for an instant that a man on posted property, with a gun, a hunting license, in hunting territory, at 10:45 a. m. the first day of hunting season was not hunting. The fact that he had not fired * a gun, to me would have no bearing on the charge. Every deer, hunter knows, only too well, that he may go for days, weeks, yes, and even seasons without ever fifing a gun, AND the reason it obvious: he had not an opportunity to sight in on a deer. HENRY C. GORE. Merchandise Mart It all started with gold and frankincense and myrrh. . . . Since the time of the three wise men, Christians have celebrated the j birth of Jesus Christ by exchanging gifts. But the exotic fragrances have disappeared and the wise-men have been almost crowded out of the Nativity scene. In many European countries, re ports World Book Encyclopedia, gifts are believed to come from Saint Nicholas. TfTiis kindly bishop lived in .Asia Minor in the A.D. 300’s and became famous for his generosity. Children receive toys and sweets on December 6, his feast day. Americans added a bit of fur, a reindeer-driven sleigh and a few extra pounds to the saint to create Santa Claus. His name comes from the mispronunciation of the name which Dutch settlers in New York called the saint. U In Italy it’s La Befana, a kind of aging fairy queen, who cornea down the chimney, and in France the bearer of gifts is the Christ Child Himself, known as the Petit Noel. Children in South America, however, still wait for the three wise men. And to compensate them for their' long journey from the East, they leave water and hay on SQUARE DANCE Friday, December 15, 1961 AT FLINT HILL FIRE HOUSE Benefit Flint Fife Company ^ MUCIC BY RHYTHM RAMBLERS , Admission $1.25 Per Person HOLIDAY GREETINGS WE STILL HAVE MANY VALUES FOR LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE, i LEE ROSENBERG CULPEPER, VIRGINIA NOTICE The Sheriff of Rappahannock County haring resigned because of HI health effeetire December 31, 1961, candidates to fUl the two-year unexpired term will be interriewed at my office in the Courthouse in Washington, Virginia, Tuesday, December 26th from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

Farm Lighting Aid To Safety Lighting the yard of the farmstead contributes to safety and convenience, says J. L. Calhoun, agricultural engineer at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He adds that this type of lighting does not require an expensive array of lighting fixtures. Only a relatively small amount of light is needed—just enough so objects can be seen during hours of darkness. Planning a lighting system is simple, says the engineer. There are two main points to consider. First, the selection and location of lighting fixtures, and second, the location of switches to control the lights- A fixture called a bracket light is often used. It consists of a reflector, socket, and We've Framed A Christmas Wish For You — May It Bo tho Perfect Picture of Gifts Galore — Health, Wealth. Happiness and Abounding Good Cheer Throughout tho Year. JitXG Farm II Clarke Hardware Company CULPEPER, VIRGINIA burb supported by a short piece of pipe, This unit can be mounted on either a pole on the side of a building. The bracket fixture is designed to light a large circular area. With a reflector of 16 inches and a 300 watt bulb, it will light an area within about 200 feet of the unit. A bulb especially designed for outdoor lighting is now on the market. Called the “Par” bulb, it has a built-in reflector and won t break when exposed to rain, sleet, or snow because it’s made of heat resistant glass. . This bulb, says Calhoun, is a good choice for lighting a long narrow area. It can also be used to light a large circular area by installing several on a centrally located pole. Calhoun advises that in using PAR bulbs, they should be instilled in adjustable spotlight bases of the waterproof type. These bases can be adjusted to throw light where needed. On many farms, switches are needed at the house, banu and garage. Install the wiring sO yard lights can be turned on or off from either switch location. If several switches are planned, consider remote control for the yard lights instead of conventional wiring, says Calhoun. JVCiiHJic UHiuui ya tu consists of a control unit usuallymounted on a centrally located pole. Inexpensive wire is run from this control unit to various switches. Low-cost push button switches are used with this system. The wiring to the switches can be buried in ^the ground or supported on poles and buildings above ground. Says the engineer, “Select carefully the location for yard lights. Bear in mind that trees, buildings, and the pole itself cause shadows that present full use of light. Install the lighting units at least 15 feet above the ground.” Some farmers prefer to buy a yard lighting service instead of installing their own fixtures and wiring. Several electric power suppliers in the state offer yard light* ingservices. They install large lighting units, maintain them, and supply the electricity they use for a charge CENTRAL HARDWARE COMPANY, Inc.

Ante-Bellum Christmas in the Country A Christmas morn slow up the East is creeping,! I wake—Ah me! how nicely I’ve been sleeping, And lazily I turn and strive to wrap My senses, in a last sweet morning nap, But like the oftime quoted mice, and men I find I’ll have to lay my plans again. For from the room o'er head breaks on my ear Such chattering and laughter sweet, and clear, Like warbling of summer birds at dawn ! In fluttering welcome of the coming morn, *•>«. Then pit-a-pat upon the nursery flqor, Then helter-skelter down stairs to my door Little white feet are hurrying. Five little stocking hung up over night Five sweet, shrill voices, eager with delight, Make all the air with merry laughter ring, At each discovery of some goody thing. On the wide hearth, blazing is the Christmas log: i On the side-board, foaming, is the rich eggnog; In the crowded pantry Mother’s set away The richest frosted plum-cake to be cut to-day; And the great gobbler, monarch of the year Through murder “fowl” helps on our merry cheer Gathering around the door-way, their ivory teeth shining; With rolling eyes, and kinky curls dose twining, Crowd the urchen darkies, proud and swift To catch the white folks “Christmas gift”. Hark! from the parlor, clear and sweet, The music of the fiddle, happy feet Chase through old measures, winged time Nor weary 'till the midnight chime < And so, we farewell Christmas and Christmas cheer, And set our hearts upon the coming year. The above poe mtuas sent us by Mrs. William Meade Fletcher. It was written by her grandmother about a hundred years ago. Mrs. Verner To Visit Here Christmas Mrs.-, A. M.

Farm production coats will likely continue to climb through 1962, say agricultural economists at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The index of prices paid by farmers for production goods in September was one per cent above a year earlier. The index has shown a 27 per cent increase since 1950. ... v': Next year, most of the upward pressure will be in higher prices for some purchased non-farm items such as farm machinery, machinery repairs, improvements and supplies, as well as farm taxes. The economists say cost control is becoming more important as farmers continue to use more purchased non-farm inputs per farm. Some farmers can reduce costs by using inputs more efficiently.

North Gordon. Va K»ttVK»a0OCKXKSKK*K)0OCKK planned and production items widely used if a fanner is to survive the cost-price squeeze. How can farmers keep costs down? For instance—machinery? The economists say to buy only the machines that will pay for themselves in the operation, reduce repair and maintenance as well as operating cost by careful attention and timeliness of repair, and decrease machinery costs per unit of work by increased volume of use through expanded farm use or custom work. Hiring custom operators to do certain jobs may be the , answer on some farms. Labor continues to pose a problem. Non-farm employment is becoming more competitive for the farm labor supply, and average farm wage rates are up 3 per cent over a year ago. However, the number of workers on Virginia farms increased about 5 per cent from September 1960 to September 1961, in contrast to the downward trend for the rest of the nation. The Virginia increase was in both family and hired help. Taxes levied on farm real estate rose 8 per cent over last year, pushing the average tax per acre to a new high of 1.20 on United States farms. Market values of farm real estate increased only slightly in the year ended March 1961. As a result, the marked rise in taxes levied pushed the tax-tovalue relationship to 99 cents per $100 of full value recorded since the early 1940’s, but is considerably lower than the record of $1.50 set in 1932. Taxes levied on farm real estate in 1960 absorbed nine pet cent of the total net farm income, Prices of feed grains will average higher in 1962 than in 1961 In the feeding year now starting the feed program is expected to rej duce moderately the carryover oi 1 feed grains.

The 1961-62 seasonal rise in the price of soybean meal and total protein feeds is expected to be much less than in 1960-61. High protein feed supplies in 1961-62 probably will be larger than a year earlier. Soybean supplies in 196162 are estimated up 13,000,000 bushels from 1960-61.

John W. Brown Promoted In Navy John W. Brown, RM2, U.S. Navy, son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Brown of Spcrryville, Virginia was recently advanced to Radioman Second Class as a re*' suit of the August Navy-wide examination in rating. Brown is presently serving with the Staff of Commander Carrier, Division Two aboard the heavy attack carrier USS Independence (CVA-62) operating with the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. USS Independence is capable of delivering nuclear or, conventional strikes against farranging enemy targets. Aboard ship Brown is a communications supervisor. His primary duty consists of insuring that radio messages are properly routed and that necessary action requirements are met. Prior to entering the Navy in June of 1958, Brown graduated from Rappahannock County High School in Washington, Virginia. He is married to the former Miss Shirey B. Keeney whose parents reside at 201 Mechanic Street, Luray, Virginia. Mrs. Brown is residing in Norfolk, Virginia during her husband's absence.

Asked if he had anything to add to the interview, Brown said, “Yes, tell my wife, parents and relatives that I’ll be home for Christmas.” The World Of 1962 The year 1962 arrives bright, fresh and unmarked to a world that has learned to take things pretty much in stride. There was, of course, worldwide excitement with the first man - into - space shots. Still, it wasn't long before folks ceased to herald these accomplishments and speculate as to the greater space achievements yet to come. We live in a world that looks to change ... a world that is not used to standing still. We live in a competitive world ... a world in which the science of ideas is no less important than the first moon shot. We live in a world of plenty . . . surrounded by luxuries, gadgets and playthings. We live in a world of need . . . with great areas and many peoples poorly fed, ill-housed, uninstructed, without hope for tomorrow, without the blessings of Christianity. What changes will the year 1962 bring about? Who can say? Certainly we will open new vistas in space; medical research will advance the cause against sickness and disease; and, let us hope, something will be done to advance the cause of world peace.

PENDLETON 4-H Boys Discus^ Project Feeding of brood sows was the topic of discussion last week with 4-IH1 boys conducting this project We were pleased that several of the Dads and older brothers also attended. ' The discussions were prompted because of improper and costly feeding as revealed by the project record books turned in. Feeds being bought proved too costly and were unbalanced as a ration. By balancing die ration, selective buying, and feeding proper amounts at the proper time, it was shown feed costs at present prices could be reduced an average of $39.00 per soW per year with more rewarding performance results. - If these sows represent an average, and with approximately 800 sows in the county, the above saving amounts to $31,200 were all sows fed properly. In other words, feeding properly certainly increases your chances for making a profit and saves money. Come by and let's talk sow rations, or rations for any type of hogs, for that matter. For the second time our 4-H Achievement Program was weathered out last Saturday nigh. We, (my wife, son and myself) were all set to leave when a call came from Mrs. Russie Miller advising not to get on the highways.

Let’s Quit Worrying About Fall-Out Let’s quit worrying about radio- ] active fallout from the 1961 bombj tests as a health hazard for awhile and concentrate on getting ready for Christmas. 1 There are two things to think about in this business of fallout and its effect on humans— j The scientists are by no means' in agreement as to how much ra-j dioactivity we can absorb without; bothering us. ' There isn’t very much that us! average folks can jo about it anyway . In spite of all of the bopibs set, of fin the lats few months, the chances are that there still isn’t enough radioactive fallout in the, United States to constitute a health problem. This no one knows for sure, but a majority of the men who know most about the problem have said many times that they don’t think we need to start worrying yet. * -r , -r* -t _rWhether you are in favor of fallout shelters or flBt, we can’t just retreat to a shelter this winter. The man of the house has to; go to work, he lady has to go shopping and the kids have to go to school. We have to be out in all kinds of weather every day. If there is radioactive fallout in the air, we’ll get some of it, and there’s nothing we can do about it. The American Medical Association recently conducted a survey of seven of the top experts in the nation. All seven agreed that fallput was not a health hazard. Since that.time, more bombs have been exploded, but the principle remains the same. The best opinion of a majority of the experts is that we * ? hr KIJH ■m it for job ^ kaffiien ' tkii Stun! LR.

The uses of nuclear fission Will continue to expand and potential radiation hazards will increase accordingly. The need for conservative management of all radiation sources is obvious. There are still many unknowns, and research on a wide front is going rapidly ahead. As new information is gained, man can expect to derive increasing benefits from the release of nuclear energy with a minimum hazard to himself and his descendants. All of us are living in a world in which nuclear energy will be used more and more in the years to come. Learning to live with radiation all around us is something we cannot escape. Meanwhile we can keep from becoming panicky over something we cannot control, something whose harm to mankind is still largely an unknown factor.

Scholarship s Available For Food Science ■ And Thcchnology Study High school seniors interested in studying food science and technology' are eligible for consideration for 10 scholarships of $300 each offered by the Institute of Food Technologists. Announcement of the availability of the scholarships was made by Dr. Anthony Lopez, professor of food techonology in the department of horticulture at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He said candidates interested in the scholarships being offered should request application forms from his office at VPI, Blacksburg, or from their high school principals. Deadline ' for applications is March 1, 1962. ; Dr. Lopez said this is the second year that the professional society of food technologists has sponsored I FT undergraduate : scholarship awards. Ten recipients ' of the 1961 scholarships are now attending schools in various sections of the country. In addition to the 10 scholarships being offered students enter •a HOLYflflD HAPPY ar H. and P.

A vast opportunity awaits young men and women in the field of food technology, according to Dr. Anthony Lopez, a researcher in food technology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Lopez says salaries offered are at the same level as those offered chemists and chemical engineers. Presently there are many more positions open to trained food technologists than there are people qualified to fill them. Food technologists are concerned with develonins new products and processing methods, and with improving flavor, consistency, appearance, tenderness, and nutritional value of foods during and after processing and marketing. They are employed in canning and freezing plants and in other food industries in production, quality control, research, new product development, and technical sales. Federal and state governments also employ food technologists in teaching, research, and Extension work. Allied industries use them in customer technical services,sales, and quality control work. In 1900, many processed food products taken for granted today were unknown. Two examples are fruit juices ready to drink, and packaged frozen foods. Advances by food technologists made possible these products, says Lopez. He adds, “The food industry is the greatest of all industries which manufacture products to sell. Come •boom or depression, people must eat, and since every day there are 7,000 new mouths to feed, the food industry grows steadily in more or less the same proportion. "Its annual sales now total over $70,000,000,000. This amounts to about $400 per person and dwarfs the annual per capita expenditures on any of the glamour industries such as automobiles, airplanes, electronics, or steel.” A recent survey by the Institute of Food Technologists showed: Food manufacturing firms would have hired 61 percent more technologists in recent years if they had been available. During the next five years, industry wants to hire more than twice as many food technologists as are now in training. One-third of all food items now on supermarket shelves did not exist 10 years ago. Now in the development stage are half of all food products which will be in supermarkets in 1970. Being poor has its advantages; the keys to the car are never in your other pants.

KEEPING TIME WITH SUN IS OLD PROBLEM Sweethearts may be more interested in the moon but for centuries calendar makers have devoted plenty of attention to the sun. In fact, the sun caused the year 46 B.C. to have 445 days—the longest year in calendar history. The Roman Calendar, supposedly created by N uma Pompilius, in the seventh century B.C., was revised several times. Yet, when Julius Caesar nut his experts to work on the Julian calendar, they found the Roman calendar was two months behind the sun. This presented them a problem: they had to catch up with the sun before the Julian calendar could take over as the official method of marking time. They solved the problem by adding two extra months to the year 46 B C-, inserting them between the months of November ai d December.

Rose, Sugar, Orange, Cotton . . . can you jiame all of the post-season contests? f Probably not. Chances are someone is starting a new bowl game and the word hasn’t gotten around yet. ’ You should know, however, that the “daddy” of all the bowl games is the fabulous Rose Bowl game, which started as a supplement to the Tournament of Roses, way back in 1902. On January 1 of that year, barnstorming Michigan overwhelmed Stanford 49 to 0. This lopsided conquest of the west representative may or may not have had anything to do with it, but the following year chariot races were substituted for football and it was not until 1916 that collegiate football returned to the Tournament of Roses via a contest in which Washington State j defeated Brown University. Since that'time, the Rose Bowl has gained in prestige and annually attracts crowds in excess of 100,000. ) 1 When unexpected guests arrive, reach for a can, jar, or package of dried beef.

Rapp-Chats By IV. H. Lyne County Agent Though not enough, many of our farmers are bringing in soil samples for chemical analysis, Results will be a valuable part in determining fertilization and liming needs. Knowing past performance of the field and the crop to be fertilized are equally important However, knowing the soil type or types being dealt with is just as important. How? Let’s assume the soil test comes back showing a pH of 5.5, which is not an uncommon result. Right off we know the land is too acid to grow Red Clover, Alfalfa or barley ... a shade too low to have good grass. A pH of 6.5 is a good sound range to shoot for How much ground limestone is needed to sweeten the soil to this pH level? | This depends solely on the soil I type; whether it is a sandy loam, | a silt loam or a clay loam. We have all four here in Rappahannock: Congaree fine sandy loam is a first bottom soil type, Louisburg sandy loam i s throughout our Arkonsic sandstone belt which lies from The Kennels in a southwesterly direction to Round Hill and on to the county line. There are four or five other sandy loam types. Loams are our predominating types, however we have twelve silt loam types scattered all over the county as well as five clay loam types Remember our test resulted in a pH of 5.5; the following shows the amount of limestone per acre reqquired to raise acidity to the desired 6.5 pH. Sandy loam__1.25 tons Loam_2.0 Silt loam_3.0 Clay loam-4.0 So, when you bring your soil samples in, make sure to take time to check our soil survey maps to learn what soil types you are dealing with and see that this is listed on your Soil Test Record Sheet; it what soil types you are dealing with and se that this is listed on your Soil Test Record Sheet; it will save me time and you money. Soil type also helps in determining optimum fertilization rates. In other words it is plumb foolish to get a soil test without knowing what soil type you are dealing with. < Were I to make recommendations for lime and fertilizer without this information, which is simple to determine, it would be about like shooting in the dark at a silent black object.

Precautions Necessary In Preparation And Care Of Holiday Foods How you handle and care for meat products during the holiday season — or any other time — can have a lot to do with die health and safety of your family. Dr. E. O. Essary, poultry scientist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, says many housewives will be preparing turkey with dressing, ham, and other meats for the holidays. And there’s danger herein, if not done properly. For instance, you may decide to cook a large turkey or ham in two installments—starting it one day and finishing it the next. Dr. Essary says cooking should be continuous. Partial cooking may produce a dry bird or ham and a lieheated flavor. If you want to partially cook the meat ahead of time, be sure to observe certain precautions. When a turkey with dressing, ham or roasts are partially cooked, the temperature at the center of the meat or dressing might rise to between 50 to 120 degrees and stay |. within this temperature range for | several hours. This range is often referred to as the “incubation zone” for bacteria. The Staphlococci organisms which produces toxins that are responsible for outbreaks of common food poisoning or intestinal upsets thrive in this temperature. If the bacteria are present, toxins may be produced between the time the temperature of the partially cooked meat is between 50 degrees and 120 degrees until the temperature at the center of the meat is chilled back to below I 50 degrees F. Any bacteria present will, of course, be destroyed by the second cooking process, but if these toxins have been produced, they will not be destroyed by cooking and may cause illness. , To prevent this bacterial action, the temperature at the center of | the partially cooked meat should j- be lowered to below 50 degrees within four hours after partial May Your Christmas Ba Bright As Holly Barrios! .

Do not let partially cooked meat stay within the 50120 degree range for more thaw 4 hours. If you decide to cook the dressing inside the turkey, handle it carefully to avoid bacterial contamination. Usually dressing is warm when prepared, so cool it immediately to below 50 degrees. Do not hold it until the following day without chilling. Only chilled dressing should be placed inside a turkey. The turkey should also be chilled before it is stuffed. And the stuffed turkey should be refrigerated until it is put in the oven. Dr. Essary says to hold leftover turkey, ham and roasts in the refrigerator to prevent contamination and spoilage. CHRISTMAS DECISION Christmas is always the most important day of the year and one particular Christmas day, in the year 1776, greatly affected the course of American history. On Christmas day of 1776, the struggle of the new American republic for independence seemed almost hopeless. Tattered, hungry, riddled with dysentery, the American Army was barely hanging on, with little left but hope. Along the banks of the Delaware River, some 2400 men huddled, many shoeless, this bleak Christmas night. In this setting, General George Washington said to his command: “This is it, gentlemen—victory or death. That is our only watchword. "Notwithstanding the discouraging accounts, I am determined to cross the river and make the attack on Trenton in the mornThe rest is history. Washington and his ragged army ignored the snow, ice and sleet to make a dangerous river crossing and an agonizing march to Trenton. Under Washington’s inspired leadership, the Americans humbled the vaunted Hessian mercenaries and wrote one of the most glorious pages, in the American history book. ing Tips For Quiclc\ Pie Making You can have your favorite pie ready for the oven in a few minutes if you follow this quick trick of rolling the pastry and putting it in the heme freezer. Cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the pastry and cover it with waxed paper. Roll the pastry and place it on the cardboard. If you use two pieces of waxed paper between every two pieces of pastry, you can wrap several together. Use aluminum foil or cellophane to package the pastry, or seal it in a large plastic bag. Press as much air out of the bag as possible. Let the pastry thaw 10 or 15 minutes before using.

As A Safety Reminder “Follow the example of the professional truck drivers—keep your lights on for safety during die holiday weekends." This is the urgent message that is being extended to all drivers of motor vehicles, says the Virginia Highway Users Association, the state trade association of the trucking industry. Following a practice that was put into use Labor Day weekend this year, when traffic fatalities in the nation were significantly fewer than a year earlier, truck drivers will bum their lights ’jound the dock the two approaching holiday weekends. The two periods will run from Friday, December 22, through Tuesday, December 26, and Friday, December 29, through Tuesday, January 2. In the nation there were 415 immed iate deaths from traffic cradles during Labor Day weekend in 1960. In 1961, when the lights on for safety program was put into practice, there were 350 immediate deaths. These figures do not include unavailable statistics on deaths that resulted later due to injuries. The truck drivers have asked all drivers to cooperate with them during the Christmas and New Year weekends. They believe that motor vehicle drivers will be reminded again and again by oncoming lights that a hazardous situation exists during these peak travel periods, and that extra alertess ad caution are necessary. Special studies by the Federal Government show that the risk of fatality in Christmas driving is 70 per cent greater than for a comparable nonholid ayperiod. .t This season, Christmas and New Year are three-day weekends, which will tend to promote a greater volume of holiday traffic. Many drivers will wait until the last minute to start, and want to get there in a hurry. Lights on might slow them down.

The calves, being sought primarily within a 25(Hnile radius of Washington, D. C., can be either purebred or high-grade animals of the five major dairy breeds. They can be of any age up to 20 months. Owners willing to sell identical twin heifer calves are requested to write Dr. R. D. Plowman, Dairy Cattle Research Branch, Animal Husbandry Research Division, Beltsville, Md. An inspector will be sent to check the calves before purchase. Identical twin calves are rare. They develop from a single cell and are always the same sex. The twins look very much alike and react- in much the same manner. Their markings often are repeated on the same or opposite sides. Identical twin calves are useful in research because of their similar physical reactions Farperiments with a single pair give results as reliable as tbbse from rests made; with several animals less closely related. CHRISTMAS ROSES One of the most beautiful of the legends associated with Christmas is that of the Christmas rose. According to the story, MadeIon, the child of a shepherd, saw the Wise Men pass toward Bethlehem, laden with gifts for the Christ Child, and she wept becasue she had no gifts to offer__ An angel appeared before her and asked, "Why do you weept" "Because," Made Ion replied, as she brushed away her tears, "I have no gift for the Christ Child.” "A gift of the heart is best of all, but / will give you something to carry to the manger'" and with this the angel disappeared, and in the same spot there appeared a beautiful rose, filled with white blooms. Madelon gathered the blossoms and joyfully went to Bethlehem. At the manger, she stood in the background as the Wise Men offered their gold,'‘frankincense and myrrh. She hesitated, doubting that her small gift would be acknowledged or appreciated. Mustering her courage, she stepped forth and lay the roses before the Christ Child, Immediately, the flowers turned from white to a most beautiful pink, the first Christmas rose. Calends To Calendar In ancient Rome, the priests called the people together on the first day of every month, known as Calends, and announced the sacred days and festivals to be observed during the month.

After-Holiday Care Of Potted Gift Plants ' Flowering pot plants are popular for holiday giving but too often they are allowed to bloom and die. Paul L. Smeal, assistant horticulturist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, has some tips for people who would like to see their Qiristmas plants survive to bloom another day. The poinsettia is a Christmas favorite. It is not the easiest plant to grow, but will respond to good care. It is extremely sensitive to temperature changes, so keep it out of drafts in the 60 to 75 degree range. Use water of room temperature. Set the plant back from the window at night so it won’t chill. During the day give it bright light, but no sun while the bracts last. After blooming is over, gradually withhold water, store the dried-off plant in a cool basement until April or May. Water tt lightly once a week. When all danger of a late frost is past, sink the pot in a protected sp^t in the garden. In July or August prune it into shape by cutting back overlong branches. You can root the cut pieces to start new plants. Early in the fall before the weather turns cold, bring the plant into a south window where it will get sun, water, and feed regularly. The kalanchoe has bright scarlet red clusters of flowers and is ideally suited for holiday decoration. Its compact shape is useful in group plantings, in table centerpieces, indoor window boxes and 'small containers. The plant blooms longer than any gift plant available. To keep the bdanchoe for another year, transplant it to a larger pot, using packaged potting soil, when root* become crowded. —*4 ----— F LEASE ACCEPT OUR SINCERE THANKS FOft YOUR FRIENDLY GOOD WILL AND PATRON* AGE THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR.

Give plenty of water when the soil is dry. The plants will continue to flower year after year, often growing into mature specimens. When repotting is needed, use a soil of equal parts packaged potting soil, leafmold, and granulated perlite. Apply a soluble fertilizer bi-weekly- lyThe azalea is another common Christmas plant. It grows in bright light or sun and needs a uniform supply of water. Remove the flowers as soon as they have faded. After flowering, the plant may be kept in light where it will grow, and it is necessary to pinch back the new growthfl After danger of freezing, it can be planted in the pot in the garden and kept moist during the summer. Before frost, bring it inside but keep it cool at 45 to 60 degrees until the buds start to swell. Some varieties sold at Christmas time are of the hardy type which could be planted outdoors. Ask your local florist or nurseryman about this. Apply Endrin Now For Moose Control The sooner the better now when it comes to applying endrin for mouse control in Virginia orchards. Dr. Frank Horsfall, horticulturist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, says relatively good control can be obtained through March, but it’s best to remove the mouse hazard as early as possible in the dormant season. 1 The horticulturist points out that failing to control mice is a major problem in fruit production. Poisoned baits have rarely given satisfactory control of orchard mice in Virginia. But the development at V.P.I. of the endrin ground spray method has provided a much more effective means of control. Details on the endrin ground spray method are given in Circular, 747, "Mouse Control with Ground Sprays.” Ask your county agent or write the V.P.I. Agricultural Extension Service, Blacksburg, for a free copy.
