Rappahannock News, February 7, 1963

NorthernVirginia Fo The Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association, by invitation from Sam Hall, Sheriff of Fauquier County, will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Court House at Warrenton on Friday, February 15.While details were not available at our last contact with President Bob Apperson a program which should prove most interesting was in the process of development. Bob also r eported there was a strong possibility the Virginia Foxhunter's Association would accept the invition from our group to hold the State Field Trials and Bench Show in this area the last week in October. Directors of the state organization will look over the proposed hunting grounds either the latter part of this month or early in March. Tentative plans, should the Northern Virginia be successful in their bid, call for the Bench Show to be held at Culpeper Enterprises where hounds will be kenneled. In recent years the Virginia State has been held at South Boston and Chase City. A very colorful event, this trial usually attracts 275-325 of the best foxhounds from Virginia and bordering states. Derby hounds, those whelped after January 1 of the preceding year, and All Age hounds are cast together but scored separately for three hunts held on consecutive days. The cast for each hunt is at daybreak and lasts for five hours unless the Master of Hounds deems it wise to call the hunt off earlier due to weather con. ditions. It is customary to have 1 field Judge for every 20 hounds entered. },N o r t h e r n Virginia Membership Cards are available the County Agent Vfor the following Rappahannock foxhunters: James A.

The figures were contained in a report to the Board of Directors, Friday night by Administrator John D. Phillips. E. Jackson Eggborn, was named president to succeed T. I. Martin. The report also listed 277 births, 1256 emergency room visits and 580 operations performed, both major and minor. Despite the fact that percent of occupancy rose from 48.2 per cent in 1961 to 57.1 per cent in 1962, the hospital reported a deficit of $4,413 for the year ending Dec. 31, 1962. This took into account a total of $14,019 in bad debts as well as depreciations. Gross earnings rose from $291,097 in 1961 to $352,990 for the past year, with total assets reported a s $1,257, 232. Complete depreciation on all equipment was taken. The hospital staff is comprised of 40 area physicians and specialists. Textbook Adoption For 1962-64 Session A number of teachers to consider in the WarrenRappahannock Public School System are now actively reviewing new textbooks. This is the year to consider changing textbooks in the fields of Elementary Arithmetic, Elementary Health and Elementary Science, Dictionaries, also. High School Mathematics and Physics. The State Board of Education has supplied the local school division with a list of the books that should be reviewed. A selection will be made from this list to be used by our pupils, beginning with the new school term. Subsequently these textbooks will be used for a six year period. About thirty teachers are involved in this process of reviewing new books. They met at the Warren County High Sehool on Wednesday, January 30, to receive preliminary instructions and samples of the many textbooks that were supplied by textbook publishers. The meeting was conducted by O. A. Norton, Division Superintendent of Schools, and James W. Eavey, Director of Instruction. The committee members will be hard at work during the months of February and March trying to determine the books that will be most suitable for local use. wmm Looks as though Ernest Lillard has his hands full.

Final I score for the boys-was Warrenton 71 - Rappahannock 25; ! girls, Warrenton 27 - Rapi pahannock 15. In a prior game the local girls had triumphed over Warrenton but this was the second defeat handed the boys by Warrenton. Conference standings at present for the boys are Marshall and Warrenton tied for first place and Rappahannock one step down, followed by Nokesville and Cedar Lee. Warrenton’s girls hold first place, Rappahannock and Marshall are tied for second and Nokesville is in third. Cedar Lee does not have a girls team. Rappahannock has two more conference games to play. They will meet Nokesville February 14 at RCHS and on February 22 they play Marshall at Marshall, said. The Shenandoah National Park and a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway lie in the 7th District, represented by Mr. Marsh. Burke Resigns As County Jailor After over 22 years service Guy Burke resigned Jan. 31, 1963 as custodian of Rappahannock County jail. Mr. Burke became jailer May 1, 1940.

Slcteftfwort. • • r*~v Icy Roads Close School, Wreck Autos Rising temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday have somewhat alleviated the travel situation in Rappahannock. Monday schools were closed because of icy rural roads considered too dangerous for bus travel. Two minor accidents occurred also from slippery roads. Henry Wharton and Clyde Atkins of Sperryville collided head on near Rock Mills on Rt. 626 Monday morning. According to Trooper Paul Dicks, the two vehicles met on the crest of a hill on the narrow icy road. No one was injured. Mrs. T. C.

SHEEP CLINIC Increasing Profits will be the theme of a sheep clinic to be held Wednesday, Feb. 13th at the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. As suggested by a majority of local shepherds the program will get underway promptly at 10:00 a.m. Two of the best qualified speakers in the east will be present to lead discussions to be followed by “question and answer” periods. George Allen, Sheep Specialist at V. P. I. will cover “Flock Management For Profit* while Dr. Van Dresser will cover “Eradication of Sheep Diseases and Parasites.” Possibly the best proof of Allen’s abilities is the fact several states in the east have done their best to hire him from us. In addition he has the respect and recognition of all sheepmen who know him no matter whether they are purebred or commericial breeders of the big wig status or whether they be among the smallest of commercial flock owners. Van Dresser is frequently reported to be the best sheep authority in the veterinary line. Shepherds from Orange and Madison counties have recently referred to him as •Tops’. Why A Sheep Clinic? Our income in 1961, according to ASCS records, averaged but $13.55 per lamb sold. This is shamefully low ! and can be easily corrected. I No farm animal responds as jeconomically to a little j timely tender loving care as does a sheep! No farm animal will more consistantly make a profit than will a ewe; they are the mortgage lifters! Why was there a spread of $12.55 in income per lamb between high and low income flocks? What did the “big money" shepherds do that the low income shepherds did not? What part did internal parasite infestation play? Studies Made To Find Out | Composite fecal specimens were collected by your county agent last week from fifteen of the 35 ASCS record flocks; the five high income flocks, five middle income flocks, and five low income flocks. These specimens were turned over to Paul Nichols who very willingly agreed to make analysis on type and degree of parasite infestation. Also the flock owners were asked pertinent questions concerning flock management practices employed. These Results These results will be made available to those attending the Clinic. Shepherds will learn what type of internal parasites their sheep have, what ammunition is needed to get rid of them, and how to keep down re-infestation!

What Does It Cost? Its all for free...this is simply another effort on the part of our sheep committee working with your county agent to increase net farm profit. The discussions and demon* strations will be open to any one interested in sheep. You may have just a pet lamb, or several hundred, or maybe you are one of those think ing of adding sheep as a profit making enterprise. Come, you’ll be welcomed! Clean Up Garden Before Planting If you’re a good “housekeeper" in your garden, you’ll bypass lots of disease woes next season. S. B. Fenne, plant pathologist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, says organisms which cause many vegetable diseases live through the winter in plant refuse. Some live in perennial roots and stalks and in common weeds; others live in the soil. Much of the disease-causing material can be destroyed by proper sanitary measures. Fenne says sanitation is esp ecially important for home gardeners and truckers who grow vegetables intensively and in fields where rotation is not practiced. Many disease outbreaks can be traced to refuse that has not been destroyed. The best way to get rid of it is to.burn it. Where enough land is available to practice a three or four - year rotation, turning under plant material by plowing is generally effective. Many gardeners make the mis take of composting vegetable trimmings or garden refuse and then putting the material from the compost pile back on the garden. Fenne says disease organisms often live over winter in the compost pile, and putting the material from the compost back on areas where the same crops as are | contained in the compost are to be grown may simply prolong the disease cycle. Destroying weeds is also-,im portant. Many of them harbor plant disease organisms. Fenne’s list of diseases that may carry over the winter in plant refuse, weeds, or soil, is a long one. Best not take a chance. Clean up the garden and you’ll have less trouble with disease next season. Notice ! I have served as Captain of Rappahannock Rescue Squad since it was first organized.

S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee for Rappahannock, County, announced today. The signup period will extend through March 22, 1963. The voluntary diversion program for these three feed grains is generally the same as last year. Of the few provisions different from the 1962 program, the principal one is that special pr ice - support payments will be available on acreage grown on participating farms in addition to the regular price supports through loans and purchase agreements. Another difference is that barley this year is included with corn and grain sorghum in one program whereas barley was in a separate program last year. Here are highlights of the 1963 Feed Grain Program as set forth by Chairman Barksdale: Farms with a total feed grain base of 25 acres or less may divert the entire base acreage (1959-60 average acreage) as adjusted. The payment rate for such farms will be 50 per cent of the county support rate on the normal production of the diverted acres. The county support rates on the normal production of the diverted acres. The county support rates reflect national average support prices of_$1.25 per bushelfor corn, $2.00 per hundredweight for grain sorghum, and 96 cents per bushelfor barley. Farmers who divert the entire base may plant no 1963 feed grain acreage. v-mi idi mo uiai uu not aiveri the entire base acreage payment on the first 20 per cent reduction which is the minimum diversion will be 20 per cent of the county support rate on the normal production of the diverted acres. Any diversion above the minimum will earn payment at 50 per cent of the county support rate. The maximum diversion is 40 per cent of the base acreage or 25 acres, whichever is larger. | Feed grain crops on paiu ticipating farms will be eligible for price-support loans and purchase agreements as in the past. These price supports will reflect national ! average rates of $1.07 per i bushel for corn, $1.71 per hundredweight for grain Sorghum, and 82 cents per bushel for barley. There will be no price support on these grains to producers not participating in the feed grain program. In addition to regular price support , there will be special price-support payments on the normal production of acreage grown on participating farms, regardless of the use made of the grain or whether it is already under loan. These payments will be 18 cents per bushel for corn, 29 cents per hundredweight for grain sorgnum, and 14 cents per bushel for barley. To receive diversion payments and price support in 1963 a farmer who has signed to participate must divert an acreage at least equal to the total intentions shown on his agreement. Advance payments of approximately half the total T BISCUIT HEARTS 2 cups Triplett’s Self-Rising Flour 5 Tablespoons shortening 3-4 to 1 cup milk Ham Filling 1 cup finely cut cooked ham 1 cup grated sharp cheese 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons finely chopped green peppers 2 tablespoons catsup 4 tablespoons cream Combine all ingredients and blend well Cut shortening into flour.

Final diversion payments and special pr 1 cesupport payments will be made after compliance has been determined. He urged farmers to get in touch with the ASCS county office for further details on how the 1963 Feed Grain Program may affect their own farm operations. Veterans Asked To Complete Questions William J. Powers, manager of the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Roanoke, said today that as of the end of last week, about 27,645 veterans or dependents in Virginia had returned their pension income questionnaires properly completed. Powers said of those received, 2,645 had to be returned to the pensioner because they were incomplete, unsigned, or failed to give proper information. Inasmuch as there are approximately 34,583 veterans or dependents currently drawing pensions in Virginia, about 6,938 others will have to complete the forms and return them as required by law to the Regional Office before January 31 or face possible suspension of payments. Questionnaires were mailed with November checks, which were received by pensioners about December 1. Powers urged all those who have not completed and mailed their income questionnaire forms to do so imV mediately. Unskilled Workers Advised To Train For Future Jobs By 1965, demand fqr highly trained workers will be so great that for every five professional and technical persons there will be seven jobs, according to Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. But, the magazine adds, for the unskilled and for those whose training has gone out of use there will be only three jobs for every five such workers. An article in the current issue of the magazine reports that persons under 18 or over 45 with no special skills will have a difficult time. 'The best guarantee of a safe future is to upgrade yourself or, if you already possess a marketable skill, to be sure to keep it current,'' the magazine advises. “At least 10,000,000 adults are studying in a variety of school and nonschool courses. Some are doing it for fun, some for general education. But a good many people at all ages and all levels of ability are receiving specific job training or retraining, and are then helped to find work to fit their new skills." Ways to get in these programs, suggested by the magazine, include: The Manpower Development and Training Act, enacted in 1962 and designed to pinpoint types of skills that are badly needed, state by state, and then train people to meet the needs. The Area Redevelopment Act, which set up a program In 1961 to cope with chronic unemployment in depressed * areas. The National Defense Education Act, enacted in 1958 to provide federal and state funds for a wide variety of day and evening courses for students and working adults who want to become highly skilled technicians. Information on all three programs is available from state employment offices. In addition, according to Changing Times, valuable new skills or additional training can be learned by taking courses under a wide range of other programs. Over 300,000 people attend evening classes at about 100 colleges where they get training in accounting, chemistry, economics, office management and hundreds of other subjects. In many communities, free evening courses in job skills are given in the public high schools. Worthwhile courses are available by mail in subjects ranging from business correspondence through landscaping, mineralogy, data processing and controlsystems theory, to engineering and physics. Costs run Fears Ruin to Nature’s Beauty If Army Dams The Rappahannock, umce again tne Army engineers Corps is hell-bent on building an imnvame dam on the Rappahannock River at Salem Church, six miles above Frederick stourg. Several years ago this project came up and was nearly pushed through. When the opposition, at the last moment, became aware of what was happening they got busy, got help and stopped this vast project by showing that there was no reason to dam the Rappahannock and the Rapidan. The opposition showed that the day of getting electric power from small rivers is long past. Not everyone up until then was aware that one four-foot diameter pipe took the whole flow of the Rappahannock to the old power plant at Fredericksburg in summertime. They also refuted the other reason for this immense dam—that of flood control, to save Fredericksburg from a bad flood about every 15 years. The plan of this “flood control” project was to permanently flood out 21,000 acres of land and hundreds of farmers to save a few small businesses in Fredericksburg from occasional flooding. When these reasons were shown up as unjustified the Army .Comes up with a brand new excuse to build this great and expensive dam. It says we need it for recreational purposes and therefore the taxpayers must put out oountless millions to build a dam and pay for 21,000 acres of land and hundreds of homes and thousands of acres of timber, all to be bulldozed to make this lake at our expense. When the Army Engineer Corps wants to make this "recreational” lake they say is needed so badly, they are blind from $25 to several hundred a year. More than 75 percent of all big American industrial corporations run workers training programs. Subjects range from algebra through zoology and from introductory courses in machine operation to courses in advanced mathematics and top level management. DEFEND FREEDOM BUY US. SAVINGl BONDI ; (o tne ract in&t ww 1 Fredericksburg' Is the tidewater section of the Rappahannock, lapping at Its very door Aep and stretching a hundred miles away on out into the Atlantic Ocean. : This recreational lake is al- j ready there, beautiful and vast I and not costing the taxpayer : one cent Great and free as is j this age-old tidewater lake at ; Fredericksburg, not many peo- ] pie use it for boating and fish- j tag. So why destroy the valleys and natural beauty of the Rappahannock and Rapldan and flood out hundreds of families to make more water that will not be used? Who wants this great lake anyway? For one, the city of Fredericksburg because it will save expense on a new water system for the town. Another great force pushing for this dam is the Army Engineer Corps. They need to keep their Jobs and are looking for great projects to keep a tremendous force of personnel. This is like the old admirals who wanted to build more costly battleships with taxpayers’ money In order to keep their jobs and their floating palaces, while playing j down the. fact that airplanes had ‘made battleships useless. This great self-perpetuating lobby is continually looking for ways to Justify its immense payroll before Congress. Another great lobby wbrking steadily in the halls of Congress and the Senate is the powerboat lobby—the more lakes the more equipment they can sell to the public. Hence they want every river, no matter how naturally beautiful, dammed to make a new sales area. These 21,000 acres the Army wants to flood are already a great recreational area. It affords excellent hunting and natural park areas. It has the only beautiful fast water river left on the Atlantic Coast that is not ruined either by dams or city sewerage. Why destroy this last white water river ? It is unsurpassed for canoeing and fast water fishing on the East coast. It is now used for these purposes, and many otner out-» door activities, by thousands of people, and it does not cost tf*s taxpayers one cent as it is. One of the moat beautiful areas for fishing, canoeing and general outdoor enjoyment of fast dashing water—the fisherman’s paradise—would be lost forever. This is the Kelly's Ford section of the Rappahannock five miles below Remington. This beautiful fast and tumbling section of fast water, one and a quarter miles tong, should be saved. No one who sees this and enjoys its beauty would want it flooded out to make a few more acres of flat dead water. We should remember that the government can make thousands of acres of flat dammed up waiter. But K cannot make 100 feet of beautiful fast water, dashing and plunging ovqr^lts ledges and rocks. When fast water is destroyed it is gone forever. It can never be replaced. We have very little of this moat beautiful type of river given to us by nature. We should keep it. Once gone, It is gone forever. And If recreation Is wanted let's build a parkway along the Rappahannock, on each side, and let more people see this river, fish in its fast water, canoe in it and walk along it and enjoy it as it is, at one-hundredth the cost of damming and destroying it. If we do not get busy when this proposal of the Army Engineers comes before Congress it will be pushed through, our last river in this immediate area will be gone forever, and the taxpayers will have to pay for the destruction.

These tasty drop cookies contain one of their favorite foods -— peanuts, plus a subtle spiciness of ginger. You’ll have no difficulty preparing these easy drop cookies. Be sure to use enriched self-rising flour with the baking powder and salt already added. And because this flour has added nutrients — three B-vitamins and iron, plus calcium — it will also make a nutritious family snack of these Spicy Peanut Crisps and all the other baked foods you prepare with enriched self-rising flour. Spicy Peanut Crisps are good children’s party fare also. Serve them with ice cream and mugs of white or chocolate milk.

Either Sex Shooting Boosts Deer Kill Despite a sharp drop west of the Blue Ridge, the 196263 Virginia deer kill hit a new record mark of 38,701, an increase 2,585 over the previous high ma^k of 36,166 set two years ago. The increase could be attributed almost entirely to the liberal either sex seasons which were in effect in all but two of the eastern counties. The 24 counties which jumped from bucks only seasons in 1961-62 to either sex shooting last year showed a gain of nearly 10,000 in the number of deer killed. Although this was spectacular, either sex shooting usually yields 3 to 4 times the harvest achieved with bucks only seasons. Not so spectacular but probably more important to the deer hunter was the fact that 30 eastern counties which had liberal either sex seasons in 1961-62 as well as last year, the kill nearly held its own dropping from 10,767 to 19,660. Technicians point to this as strong evidence that either sex shooting can continue at this rate in future years without decimating the herd. The most spectacular increases were noted in Albemarle, Amelia, Buckingham, Charles City, Fluvanna, New Kent, Nottoway, Powhatan and Prince Edward Counties where the kill more than tripled. A marked increase occurred in 12 more of the 55 counties which comprise the^. Eastern portion of the Biolcfg*fs\s report that range conditions are good throughout most of Eastern Virginia and should continue to support high kills like these chalked up this year.

OBITUARIES Omar Hopkins Graveside services were held at Sperryville Cemetery January 31, 1963 for Omar Hopkins, 81, native and former resident of Sperryville who died in a Harrisonburg hospital on January 29th. Mr. Hopkins, son of the late John and Ella Hopkins had been making his home in Harrisonburg.

The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. James B. Grimmer. Records Important For Soc. Security Farm records are extremely important, Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, Manager of the Winchester, Va. District Social Security Office declared today. No farmer should put off his record keeping. Now is the time. Last year some farmers kept only brief records, or no records at all. As a consequence they had difficulty in preparing their Social Security report of farm employees and their own selfemployment tax returns. The reporting of farm work- | ers is important, Mrs. Daly ' stated. Every farmer should j be aware of the law per- j taining to the coverage of I farm employees. The Social j Security law states that cash wages of $150 or more paid 1 to a farm worker during a calendar year must be reported. Also, cash wages j figured on a time basis, such as by the hour, day, or week, paid to a farm worker who is employed on any part of twenty days during the year must be reported regardless of the total ; amount. ; Some reasons given by farmers as to why they failed i to report their farm workers | are: “The worker did not ! want me to report his wages,’ j or I didh’t know I was sup- | posed to.” Farmers who fail | J to deduct the employees j share of the Social Security taxes are liable for all the taxes. Failure to keep adequate records of farm wages could cause even more serious difficulties for farmers, since labor expenses report- ; ed by the farmer are subject to verification if challenged - by the Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration. Adequate records do not i mean elaborate bookkeeping, Mrs. Daly said. Most farmers are able to use the simple farm record book available through his county agent. Entries of income and ex- j penses on a day-to-day basis provide the essential information. Bridge Club Meets ' With Mr$. Massie Mrs. Wade H.

Advises On Restoring Clover If ladino clover is fading from your orchard grass or tall fescue-ladino pastures, and the stand of grass is still satisfactory, you can reestablish the clover fairly easily, says W. H. Lyne county agricultural agent. Procedures for reestablishing the clover are outlined in Leaflet 21, now available from Lyne’s office. The agent says keeping a balance of about half ladino and half grass in tall grassladino clover pasture will improve the quality. Further more, the clover will furnish nitrogen for the pasture. In a beef grazing test at the Northern Virginia Pasture Research Station at Middleburg, the daily gain per head of steers was slightly over 1 / 10 pound more on ladino - orchard grass or ladino-tall fescue than it was on the grass without clover. The experiment further indicated that the clover furnished 150 to 200 , pounds of actual nitrogen per iacre annually. Applying j slightly over 200 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre to I straight grass each year, in \ applications ,rol . about 50 pounds each, resulted in an ; average of only 43 pounds of beef more per acre than was obtained from the ladino-tall grass mixtures without the application of additional nitrogen . Phosphate and potash were applied to each experimental pasture at the same rate. Birthday Party Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

Veterans Asked To Complete Questions More than 3100 pensioners in Virginia have about one week to return their questionnaires to the Veterans Administration or have their pensions cut off. Some 2700 others had their income cards returned for correction because they were incomplete or illegible. A VA pensioner must return his card even though he knows his pi 963 income will exceed his limits, or face the possibility of paying back to the government all pension received during the past year. Entitlement of veterans and their survivors to VA pension benefits depends largely on the amount of their outside annual income. By means of the income questionnaire the VA determines whether each pensioner is entitled to continuance of the pension, and in some cased, upward or downward adjustment of the amount. I lie v n lias idoucu tiuai warning to those who have not taken action because there is little time remaining. Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal Office of the.

Front Royal, Va. 4* Virginia Afield By Robert Gooch Jim Fauber of Staunton was recently elected president of the Staunton- Augusta chapter of the Izaak Walton League. In accepting this post Jim has identified himself with many other Virginia sportsmen who enjoy the out doors, but realize that a responsibility to this tremendous natural resource parallels the pleasure we desive from it. There is a noticeable and disturbing lack of organization among the sportsmen of Virginia—particularly in the rural areas. And this is unfortunate as sportmen's organizations are the most effective media for getting before our lawmakers the clear cut needs of the fish and game resources of the state. Old Dominion sportmen's license money foots the bill of the million dollars plus budget of our commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, but all too often legislation directly or indirectly affecting hunting and fishing is .sponsored by people not interested in outdoor recreation. With the general hunting season now behind us, but with its problems still fresh in our minds, its a good time to join or organize a club—or to regenerate a sagging one. A club may be campletely independent or it may affiliate with one of the two state and national organization the Izaak Walton League of America or the Virginia Wildlife Federation membership in which also includes membership in the National Wildlife Federation. In addition to legislative activity, club projects should include conservation, education, sportsme n-landowner good will and fellowship among the members. Quail Hunting Through Feb. 15 East of Blue Ridge With the East of the Blue Ridge quail season extending 15 days beyond the closing of the general small game season, the bird hunters have the fields to themselves for what could be 2 wonderful weeks. With all other hunters in temporary retirement their fate lies pretty much in the hands of the weatherman and the local game warden's interpretation of what constitutes “ too much snow".

Additional pieces are always placed so that pieces to be used first are on the outside edge of the row of silver. In other word, place silver from outside towards the plate in the order that it will be used. Napkins go to the left of the fork. They are folded in rectangular shape and placed with the open corner towards the fork. All silverware should be placed in a straight line inline with the bottom of the plate and napkin. If the table has a straight edge this line will be verticle to the edge of the table. If your centerpiece is to be located in the center of the table, it should be short enough for people to see over it. An easy test for checking height when making a center piece IS to put your elbow on the table edge. If the centerpiece is no higher than the height of the palm o f your hand, it will be short enough for the table. These rules are just a few of many concerning table setting. Perhaps they will give you some suggestions for setting a prettier, neater^ table.

Ho* Muffins For Breakfast—M-M-M-Good Take two and butter ’em while they're hot." No one wilt need - further prompting when you pass this advice along with a basket or piping hot muffins at breakfast. You can serve tender, nutritious muffins for breakfast often when you reach for the bag of enriched self-rising flour. Because the baking powder and salt are already in the flour, no precious minutes are taken for measuring and sifting in leavening and salt. For perfect muffins, be certain the melted shortening has cooled almost to room temperature before adding to milk and egg. Try blending the liquid and dry ingredients with a rubber spatula, folding slowly 25 to 30 times to avoid peaked muffins. Then, to save diswashing and for easy school lunch packing, bake your muffins in colorful paper cups. Try these tasty Walnut Muffins real soon, to serve with fried eggs and crisp bacon strips. WALNUT MUFFINS * cups sifted enriched selfrising flour 2 tablespoons sugar cup chopped walnuts 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons melted shortening or oil 12 walnut halves Sift together flour and sugar.

Agency Office Nearly $209,000 In 1962 farm families of the nine Northern Virginia counties served by the Culpeper FHA office repaid nearly $209,000 in principal and interest on loans from the U. S. Farmers Home Administration, Stuart H. Barrell, County Supervisor, of the agency announced in Culpeper this week. The amount repaid by farm* ers of these counties in 1962 was ten percent more than the amount for the preious year. A total of 11 farm families from these same counties completely repaid their Farmers Home Administration loans last year. Mr. Barrell also reported that in 1962 his agency had its biggest year in history. Nation-wide, Farmers Home Administration lending totaled $754 million, an increase of 50 percent over the amount for 1961 and 120 percent over the total for 1960. A total of $512,610 in loans to Culpeper area farm and other rural families were made by Farmers Home Administration during the year. This was a 53 percent increase over the amount for 1961 and 98.6 percent over the 1960 volume of loans.

Farm Ownership loans totaling $190,610 were made to eight families to buy, develop, or enlarge their farms and to. refinance debts. Private lenders advanced all of these funds under the Farmers Home Administration’s insured loan program. Rural housing loans totaling $93,940 were made to build or improve houses and service buildings on farms and in rural communities. The Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, signed by President Kennedy in Setpember, added a number of new loan authorizations to the Farmers Home Administration program of supervised,; crfedit in the sffete.

I eluding development of recreational facilities. The Senior Citizens Housing Act of 1962 established a Farmers Home Adminstration program ol loans to individuals, corpora tions and groups to build rental housing for the elderly in rural areas. Loans were also authorized to individuals over 62 to buy, build or renovate housing for themselves. These new authorizations were in addition to a general modernization of Farmers Home Administration existing lending programs brought about by the Agriculture and Housing Apt of 1961. All Farmers Home Administration loans are accompanied by technical advice on farm and financial management. Loans are made only to applicants unable to obtain needed credit from conventional lenders.
