'There Is nothing wrong with the Governor's formula; in fact it la a good formula,* said Superintendent of Schools, O. A. Norton, last Thursday night, concerning a new plan for the proportionate distribution of educational costs between the counties and7 the state. He said that Rappahannock County is at a disadvantage, largely because of the Tax Commissioner's increase of 67% in .the true real estate values since 1956. The State has paid, and will continue to pay, 60% of the '% instructional costs of education, based on average dally attendance. The counties are ’'expected to pay 0.60 per $100 of the true value of real estate. The Federal Government through NDEA contributed $557.00 last year. When money from these three sources are added, and subtracted from the total cost of education in the county, the State has heretofore paid the difference, from *■ a special fund. With the aforementioned increase of real estate values from $18,626,000.00 in 1956, to $25,866,000.00 in 1963, the county's proportionate share will be much larger, and the difference, paid by the state, much smaller. Rappahannock Cpunty could lose up to $46,307.00 in state funds. Superintendent Norton has been promised a review of the figures by the tax board. The State has guaranteed that no political sub-division will receive less state revenue than it receives in the current year. While both of these measures may be temporarily beneficial, they are not remedies, and they make no allowance for the ever-increasing costs of operation, repairs and replacements.

S. Department of Agriculture's Farmers Home Administration in 1963 to improve farming operations, buy and enlarge farms, build homes, install water systems, and for other development pup poses, J. Phelps Walker,local supervisor of the agency reported this week. A total of 38 families in the area used credit from the agency during the year, either as individual borrowers or members of associations with a Farmers Home Administration direct or Insured loan. Loans are made by Farmers Home Administration only to qualified borrowers who cannot obtain credit from banka Production Credit Associations and other conventional lenders. Under an insured program of the agency, these lenders also provide about 80 percent of the funds loaned by Farmers Home Administration and secured by real estate. Approximately 90 families paid the agency (Culpeper Office) $248,241 in interest and principal on loans outstanding during the year, a 11% increase over the amount of borrower payments for 1962. He singled out the farm operating, rural housing and emergency feed loan programs of his agency as being of particular importance in the area served by the Culpeper office last year. Mr, Walker also reported that management assistance to Farmers Home Administration borrowers in the county and area is the most important aspect of his work. "The „ efficient management of farm resources, now is the crucial factor in the success (Continued on page 6) Hay Barn Burns On Reed Farm X hay and Btorage barn on the farm of Donald Reed near Flint Hill was destroyed by fire Saturday night, February 1. The Reed farm is located on Route 522 between Flint Hill and Massles Corner and is the former Jake Keyser place. This is the second barn in that area to burn within a week. Sunday night, a week before, a barn on the Paul Nicholas property burned to the ground. The fire was discovered by a passing motorist, and Flint Hill, Washington and Sperryville fire companies responded to the alarm. However, the structure was too far gone to be saved but nearby buildings were watered down to prevent burning. Around a hun dred bales of hay in the barn burned. Cause of the blaze is undermined. There was no electricity in the barn. Dwyers Purchase Old Cooksey Place; Cary Home Sold One of the oldest cattle-gra» ing farms in Rappahannock County, the 470-acre Cooksey Farm just south of Flint Hill, has been sold to Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer of McLean, Virginia. The Dwyers also own a 600-acre cattle farm near Chester Gap known as Black Rocks Farm. The Dwyers, both of whom are attorneys,bought the Cook’ sey land to expand their cattle operation. The Cooksey Farm has been owned In recent years by William J. and Floftsa LaBllle, who will retain their country home and about 20 acres. Mrs. LaBille Is a niece of the late Tucker Cooksey, who was well-known In the county as a cattle-grower and farmer The Cooksey Farm has a long frontage on the beautiful Jordan River, and has been the scene of many Boy Scout outings on the riverfront, usually under the leadership of Judge T.C.Lea. The transaction was handled by Edward A. Harris & Associates, realtors of Huntly.Vis gin la. It was also announced that Mrs. Maxine Cary of Flint Hill has sold her attractive town house to Mrs. Mary Cleverley of Washington, D.C. Mrs. Cleverley also owns “Little Red,“ the remodeled schoolhouse about three miles east of Flint Hill, and a farm there. Mrs. Cleverley, a consultant for housing, for elderly people, is making plans for a housing program for the aged in Flint Hill. She was formerly an official of the Federal Housing Agency. This sale also was negotiated by Edward A. Harris & Associates. Mrs. Cary is building a new home in Woodstock and will move there as soon as it-is completed. Local Teacher, Several Students Injured In Two-Vehicle Collision Two Rappahannock school teachers and three students sustained minor Injuries in a two-car collision Monday morning, February 3. Afourth student was not injured. All were from Washington, Va. Miss Mary Miller Wood, driving a 1961 Chevrolet, was struck by Robert W. (Buck) Brown in a 1959 Ford as he made a left turn in front of her into Hampton Inn on Route 211, according to Trooper K. L. Miller. Miss Wood was enroute from her home to Sperryv ille Elementary School where she teaches the third grade. She received a lacerated chin. Mr. Brown was not hurt. Mrs. Matilda Walker, a passenger in the Wood car and a teacher at Sperryville school sustained lacerations of the right arm. Other passengers in the Wood vehicle were Judy, Janet and Wayne Burke, children of Mr. and Mrs. John Burke. Judy and Janet had cuts inside their mouths and Wayne was not injured. Another passenger was Mary Miller Wood II, daughter of Mrs. Downing Wood, who sustained abrasions of the forehead and minor injury to her right leg. The accident victims were treated at Culpeper Memorial hospital and released. Rep. Marsh Urges Apple Disease Tests Washington — Representative John O. Marsh, Jr,, has urged Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman to consider favorably an intensified research program on the causes and control of York Spot, a disease affecting the York Imperial apple. “While- considerable research has been done, it is obvious that the work must be accelerated and expanded*,the 7th District Representative wrote Freeman. Marsh noted that many Virginia orchardists had been affected adversely by this disease, which is peculiar to the York, an apple grown extensively in the State. In the letter to Freeman, he stated: "Because the York Imperial represents a significant fraction of apple production in the Appalachian Belt, York Spot is causing substantial econom ic loss. It is my understanding that the horticultural societies and processor organizations of the Appalachian area will present to you a proposal for an intensified research program aimed at pinpointing causes of York Spot and developing effective controls in order to minimize losses from this disease. I am taking the liberty of writing you at this time, therefore, to ask your most careful consideration of the material which will be presented to you in this matter.* A three-vehicle accident occurred Sunday afternoon about 4 p.m. at the intersection of Routes 522 and 211atMassie8 Corner. According to Trooper Paul Dicks, L. C. Groover of Castl©. ton driving a 1963 Covair, was struck head on by Barbara Baker of Silver Spring, Md. operating a 1962 Mercury She made a left turn across the highway into the path of the Groover car. The impact of the collision pushed the Baker vehicle into a third car which was following it. An unidentified passenger in the Baker car sustained slight injury, contusion of the right forehead.

The Heart Fund: A Unique Health Course u important ior everyone to realize that the Heart Fund, conducted here and throughout ;the United States during February, is something more than “just another health drive*. The Heart Fund is uniquely important. Essentially, it is a combined appeal supporting the nationwide fight against a great complex of diseases and disorders — heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, rheumatic fever and inborn heart Refects, to mention only a few. Diseases of the heart and circulation, which your Heart Fund dollars help to fight, are responsible for more than ; T. B. and Health Assoc Name Committee I The nominating committee for the Tuberculosis 'and Health Association of Northern Virginia has been elected. Ray Hockman, Maurertown, is Chairman, with other members being Mrs. Eric Myer of Boyce, Dr.A.C. Wagner of Was. renton, Mrs. Joseph Sharp, Middletown, Henry Lowry of Winchester, Mrs. Bartlett F. Johnston, Jr. of Hamilton,G. H. Clark of Luray, Mrs. W.A. Gentry of Flint Hill, and Warren H. Goolsby of Front Royal Virginia.

Nominations for officers will also be presented by the nominating committee to the membership at their annual meeting in April. '_ <T. 925,000 deaths in the United States each year. That is more than the combined total resulting from cancer, accidents, tuberculosis, diabetes, pneumonia, ,and all other diseases and causes of death. In fact, these cardiovascular diseases account for over 54 percent of all deaths. The heart problem is no distant abstraction. Although national and International in scope, it exists as a painful and costly reality right here in this county. You’ll find that our local mortality experience closely parallels national figures; that on the average, about half our death notices will mention “heart attack," “stroke* or “heart disease”. All too often these terms are applied to family breadwinners in the prime of life — men in the 45 - to 65-year age bracket. There is only one practical way to fight the heart diseases, namely, by supporting your Heart Association's balanced programs of research, education and community service. You can do this by contributing volunteer service or Heart Fund dollars. Truly, the Heart Fund deserves a place at the very top of your “giving for health* list. STATISTIC- During 1962, a driver known to have been drinking was involved in 32.2 percent of all fatal crashes. In December, the comparable percentage was 39.4. Both percentages are most conservative since all facts are not known in all cases. National Picture Through October, the nation's 1963 traffic deaths stood at 33,170 as against 33,420 for the corresponding period of 1962. Undoubtedly, the 40,900 deaths of 1962, an all-time high, will be considerably exceeded when all 1963 reports are in. Letter To Editor Dear Editor: A state commission headed by Senator William F. Stone of Martinsville reports that an additional $25 million is needed by the state of Virginia to improve the primary highways of the state. In principal we might all agree that improved highways would be a valuable asset. However, as with any expenditures, there is always the problem of where to obtain the funds. The proposed measures are: 1. A 2 percent title tax or all motor vehicles registered in the state of Virginia (would apply to all new and used vehicles including trailer units and even house trailers which may be towed on the highways) 2. Increase in the cost oi state license plates by $5. 3. Increase In the cost of driver’s permit by $3. The last two of the proposed measures are reasonable in the effect that they would have on the family budget for transportation and in proportion to other states. However, it is the title tax that needs some consideration. There are only two states in the nation that impose a titling tax on motor vehicles alone and not part of a general sales tax program. Suppose you are purchasing a $3000. automobile. Immediate ly you would be liable for a $60 title tax, in additloncto the usual personal property tax that will be due at the end of the year. If you happened to have a trade-in worth $1000 your title tax will not be based on the $2000. difference that you are paying for your new car but on the full $3000 purchase price. Actually this tax is more than a 2% tax because it applies to the selling price of the car regardless of how many times it is soldi If a $4000 car were sold several times through the years, the accumu lated tax would be more than 5% of the original price. And there would be undue hardship on many companies with a fleet operation who nor mally trade every year or two, not to mention the outlay involved for truckers who have a substanlal investment in each unit they purchase. In this day of suburban living and commuting, a car is almost certainly a necessity of life as is having a roof over one's head. Why then should we be further taxed on this necessity?

Children's Home Society Seeks Adoptive Parents Richmond, Jan. 31 - The need for more couples who wish to adopt children was stressed at the annual meeting of the Children's Home Society of Virginia here today. The Society last year was forced to turn away more than one third of the babies needing homes. Miss Lois Benedict general secretary of the Society reported. Richard H. Catlett of Richmond was elected president of the Society. He succeeds W. A. Roper, of Richmond, who served as president for the past two years. Catlett has been active in the Society's affairs for over ten years and has headed the executive committee since 1961. New members elected to the board of directors were Mrs. Norvell O. Akers, Abingdon; Mrs. Burton P. Short, Jr., Petersburg; Mrs. Nelson T. Overton, Hampton and Evans B. Brasfleld, Mrs. Hunter H. McGuire, Jr., and James E. Covington, Jr., of Richmond. A new member elected to the board of sponsors was Miss Mary M. Wood of Rappahannock County. Miss Benedict reported that the Society during the year placed 148 babies in homes for adoption. This equals the record number placed in 1961. "While much has been done r Newly Acquired Vols. At County Library For Juveniles: God's Stars by Fritz A.

In 1964 the Society must reach more of the families who need a baby if it is to give to babies the homes which they need. Of the 391 mothers 147 could not be offered service because of lack of resources. In the decade before 1948 a denial of service due to lack of agency resources practically never occurred. The number has increased each year since then. More staff would be needed to counsel with mothers and give preadoptive study to babies, “The number served has increased, but the number needing service has increased at a far more rapid rate,* Miss Benedict emphasized. “When one mother in three cannot be offered service, we,know that the task ahead is larger than can be completed in 1964.Working together we can begin.* On Forage Testing By W. H. Lyne I To date analysis of thirtythree Rappahannock tor age samples have been made. What do these analysis, reveal? Of what value Is a forage test? First, forage tests allow the live stockman to apply economics to his feeding program by (1) budgeting feeds to his livestock in such quantities that nutritive requirements to do a particular job are met. By this we mean the livestockman can figure the exact amount of feed to satisfy the animal requirements in digestible nutrients and protein to produce 50 pounds of milk daily; make 3/4 to 1 pound daily gain; or in the case of a beef cow, to maintain her body weight and produce a healthy normal calf, or to suckle and raise a calf. Secondly in knowing the percent digestible nutrients ant percent digestible protein in his forages, a livestockman ir in a better position to buy, o. use his concentrates produced rt homo more wisely. Some people will say they have been feeding livestock for years and by looking at hay and ensilage they can deter mine the quality and judge tl.e amount of feed. We'll agre^ there is no replacement fo. the “eye-of-the-master* yet the facts are that on one can look at forages and come close to estimating feed values. Farmers themselves have proven this. When samples are submitted ?or analysis each farmer reports whether jhe considers the quality to be; Excellent, Good, Fair,-or Poor. A summary of all samples tested shows that the TDN and Digestible Protein content to be about the same no matter |what the eye-test rating made ■by the farmer was yet there are considerable differences in all types of forages submitted for test. Then too, I challenge anyoao to look at an animal and oil whether he is over, or under feeding protein or TDN with any degree of accuracy. For sure there are some eye guides: whether the animal is thin or fat, has normal body function or is as loose as a goose (excessive amounts of protein will scour calves, etcj But when a llvestockman combines keen observation with feeding balanced rations composed of the most economical ingredients on a budgeted basis, then he is more likely to produce at below average costs. Remember prices of most products are about equal to the average cost of production. The business man who survives is the one who produces at below average costs no matter whether he be an automobile manufacturer, farmer or a maker of buttons. Another advantage the livestockman gets through forage testing is insight on how he may adjust his management practices that will enable him to have higher TDN or digestible protein in his forages. The variety grown has some Influence, however c.* all fac-i tors influencing quality stage of maturity at harvest is the greatest. If the forage is Orchard grass. . cut it i.i the j early head stage (boot); / lfalfa when 1/10 to 1/4 bloom except first cutting (after the orchard grass in the mixture has headed but before it has bloomed.); Clover - 1/2 to full bloom; corn for ensilagehard dough stage. Still other advantages forage testing can be to livestockmen are in saving labor and in holding down fixed costs. In forr^e production a farmer Is striving for the greatest amount of TDN or digestible protein produced at the lowest cost per acre.

Besides the bulk (not less than 3/4 lb. daily of hay equiv* lent per 100 lbs. live weight) in silages he wants TDN and digestible protein. In corn silage our main concern is "HON per ton while in a legume grass silage it is both digestible protein and TDN. Now lets take a look at our six corn silage analysis. Aver age TDN content was 17.6 with a high of 23.7% and a low of 12.9%. This figures 83-8*% difference in amount of digestible nutrients! What about amouncs of tl^ese silages to feed? To satisfy the nutritive requirements of a 100 lb. dry beef cow only 40 lbs. of the highest quality silage is needed as compared to approximately 73 pounds of the lowest Think of the difference in labor .lauling, etc. into and out of storage. This difference of 33 >ounds per cow per day figures up right fast when we consider .he possibility of their being 30-40 or as many as 100 cows in the herd to feed. What about storage space. We must charge this annual cost to the cow too. Thus we see the/difference of TDN makes difference in fixed costs. WHAT ABOUT HAYS?; was there much difference? Yes. Here the big difference was not in TDN but in digestible protein. High protein content is desired. This is why we grow legume grass mixtures or even straight Alfalfa, etc. The hay analysis summary quickly tells of the difference.

All tests do show there is little spread in the amount of TDN no matter the kind. Take the ears off and there would be little differences in TDN of corn silages. Note the percent spread between high and low in protein. These differences aren't necessarily expected to remain the same, however, they did exist as shown. Just so no one will accuse me of using the extreme of the extremes, I’ll holdfurther comment to the differences in Alfalfa-Orchard grass. Here the low contained 8.0% protein. the high 11.7%; there wasn’t much difference in the amounts of grass or Alfalfa. A ton of one hay contains 160 lbs. digestible protein, the other 234 lbs. digestible protein. Whats the difference in value per ton on a protein basis. With 41% cottonseed meal (34% digestible) quoted at $4.65 per hundred this figures 13.7(5 per pound of digestible protein; therefore a difference of $10.14 per ton in these two hays! If you rather, you can compare the two samples as regards the amounts needed to satisfy the daily protein needs of a 1100 pound dry beef cow. This cow should have eight tenths of a pound of digestible protein before calving, 1.3 pounds after calving."

Library Lines Books were not always plentiful in this Country. In Colonial days many homes were without books of any kind. The only reading matter available to most country folk was the Farmers Almanac. As the Country grew books wepe brought in by many families of means, but these were considered most precious items and the head of the house was the only one allowed to handle them. He usually did the reading to'the family around the fireplace in the evenings. As time passed more families got more books and a feeling of sharing began to develop. About 1700 Rev. Dr. Thomas Bray of Maryland in order to make his Ministers as well as his parishioners more literatq established Church Libraries in thirty of his parishes. These were perhaps the first public type libraries in the Colonies. The first non-church library probably should be attributed to Benjamin F ranklin who some, thirty five years later formed the Philadelphia Library Company. This was a plan by which anyone who had a few pennies could join and rent books. Many families poa sessing books would lend or give their books to the Company. But the important thing that came out of Franklin's plan was that a system of lending rare and important books to anyone able to read and pay the small fees was to become the pattern "for the next hundred years. Library Companies sprang up all over America some under general patronage some under Church, and many under school sponsorship. In Alexandria there was such a Library which was established in 1794. It was a subscription type where members enrolled for a fee. On the early lists of subscribers were illustrate names like Washington, Dr. Dick, Fitzgerald, Aide to Gen. Washington, Stabler and many others. The Alexandria Library Company sought public participation as is indicated in this interesting request made in the Gazette of j 1797: “Desirous of pfo^noting | the influence which tWdy* conceive eminently calculated to diffuse useful knowledge, establish the morals of the calculated to diffuse useful knowledge, establish the morals of the rising generation and afford rational entertainment for a vacant hour, earnestly recommend it to the attention and support of their fellow citizens. The utility of a public circulating library is too obvious to need arguments to demonstrate it. The friends of literature, and refinement of manners, will, no doubt duly appreciate its value and interest themselves in its advancement". Interesting enough is the fact that this very Library Company was revived in 1957 with many of the Company's original books still available for research. The Company has also revived the early custom of holding lectures and discussions. This pleasant practice we hope to adopt soon in our Library. The New England States also made great strides in circulating the scarce commodity of j 9 STOP! At This Sign • bostgriod tor today's , #i and tomorrow*' moat powerful ATLANTIC »BMYVIIfl>, VA. J.

It was noi until 1835 that the Legislature of any State legalized a Library - this was New York, Massachusetts was the first tc provide tax support when 1) authorized $5,000.00 for the Boston Library, this was 1848. From then on the idea of ta> support to public libraries spread over the Country, There is more to this story of library beginnings which we may return to in a later issue. For now let us appreciate the wealth of books available to us without cost through our free public libraries. Let us not fall into the error that because they are available we can await another day. Yes, the books will be there, but will we? Flint Hill News Miss Judy Lillard left Tuesday to enroll for the spring semester at Ferrum Junior College.

Future Timber Crop Being Planted A future crop of timber being set out with the aid of a mechanical tree planter. Under the older hand method, two men after a Iona, hard day may plant from 1,500 to 2,000 seed lings. This machine is pulled by a farm tractor, and two men (one riding the machine and one driving the tractor) may plant from 7,000 to 9,000 seedlings in one day. The Virginia Division of Forestry has a limited supply of these machines, which for a nominal fee are used by tree farmers to plant abandoned fields. The conversion of idle land to tree farms is a big business. Last year Virginians planted more than 30 million tree seedlings and even more may be plant ed this spring. If you have an abandoned field, ask your near, eat Chief Forest Warden or forester why is pays to plant pine tree seedlings. The chains of habit are too weak to be feit until they are too strong to be broken. —Dr. Johnson Mr*. Schaefer Hostess To Group for Bridge Mrs. Fred W.

From The Home Agent*$ * ■* — Pen By Harriet Goode Homemakers today have a wide range of furnishings and accessories, both traditional and contemporary, which they may combine in almost any way for a comfortable home in the transitional style. President Kennedy’s famous rocking chair has started a trend for rockers. There are styles from the traditional Boston rocker to a new Danish contour model. Replacing the all-but-forgotten old fashioned attic are important storage cabinets of all types. They may be low, high, of any period style, and in any wood. They may stand on legs, on platforms, be suspended from poles, or attached to walls. And they should be large enough to accommodate such a variety of household items as linens, china, glass, and silver, to hifi, stero, record players,and TV. Shelving suspended from poles or bracketed to the walls in many wood finishes is also being used for books, objects d’art, or displays of hobby collections. Color and Interest of books against the background ' make bookshelves an Important feature in the decor of tlMMroom. The'once lowly window shade has become a major decorating tcol. Shuttters, louvered, grilled, curtained, painted, or stained, continue to be used. Venetian blinds are still the best means of light control, and the new vertical blinds are beginning to be accepted. Accessories are varlet, interesting and distinctive, Japanese hanging lanterns,. Chinese vases, and tea cannisters are used for lamp bases. Trays, vases, and boxes imported from Mexico, India, Tunisia, Thailand, and all over the world are being used as decorations on tables and shelves. Homemaking Hints Lumps in evaporated milk are formed by the solids settling during storage. Dairy specialists of theU.S.D.A.say these lumps do not barm the milk. Soggy biscuits are the result of too much liquid, too little fat, or baking at too low an oven temperature. Approximately one-third of the minerals and vitamins in a canned vegetable is lost when the liquid is poured off; Choose deep-orange sweet potatoes for maximum vitamin A value.> A" 3 way milk plan" of part Iresh, part evaporated and part dry skim milk will stretch jy ATTENTION —Automobile Owners 1W General Assembly ef Virginia now has proposals calling -- hr certain taxes which will affect aB automobile owners ef the Can* aseawealth.

That's durability! In the Rallye*s five special Alpine sections, Falcon was first overall in four, tied for first in one. That's roadabilityl In the Rallye's final test around the Monte Carlo racing course, Falcons wdre first and second. That. s maneuverabili tv / „ MONTE CARLO-The 83rd Monte Carlo Rallye started with 299 can. Some 241OO miles and OH days later, only 163 were still in the rally when the field struggled into Monaco—but they included all eight of the specially equipped Falcons that originally started! Thiaeight-out-of-eight record was perhaps more remarkable than the fact that, despite a handicap formula that favored the smallest cars, a Falcon captured second place overall. One car can have luck . . . but eight have to have total performance. Because the Rallye samples every variety of weather and road conditions the continent can provide, and because it winds up on the most remote byways in the French Maritime Alps, it is a supreme test of all the car’s abilities. Falcon steering had to be flawless on glare ice above a 1,000foot drop. Those fabulous V-8’s had to run like dynamos. The final results in the Monte Carlo Rallye gave Falcon 2nd place overall, 1st in Class 8 of the Touring category, 1st and 2nd in Class 5 of the much tougher Grand Touring category, 1st and 2nd in the final three-lap test on the Monte Carlo circuit. The best finiah N by a Valiant was 88th overall. Falcon \ gained invaluable experience in how to ouild a car better, make it tougher, sharpen up its total performance. That’s the real reason Ford is interested in open competition—and why Ford-built cars have got so much more to show drivers. Drive one and aee; it won’t have six lights, or a horn you can hear for four miles in stormy weather, or the other special rally equipment— but it’ll sure surprise you!

VkiMa Quarterhorse Week In Front Royal Quarter Horse Week will be celebrated in Front Royal beginning February 24th. The announcement was made last night by Paul Hockman,President of the Chamber of Commerce of Front Royal and Warren County, and Lamarr Bishop, Lexington, President of the Virginia State Quarter Horse Association, Inc. Highlights of the week will include a banquet.sponsored by the Quarter Horse Association, at the Hy-Wy Restaurant on February 28. Front Royal buslnessmen,un> der the direction of the Chamber of Commerce, are donating a registered Quarter Horse colt to be given away at the end of the special Quarter Horse sale at the Front Royal Livestock Market. The Virginia State Quarter Horse Association, Inc. will sponsor its first Quarter Horse auction at the Front Royal Livestock Market on Feb. 29th. The Chamber of Commerce is hoping this special Quarter Horse Auction will become an annual affair for Front Royal, The Association has 110 active members in Virginia, according to Mr. Bishop, who will direct the week’s activities. The Quarter Horse originated in Virginia and went West with the early settlers. These horses were a great factor in building the West as we know it today, Mr. Bishop said. The Quarter Horse is re turning to Virginia, its place of origin. Mr. Bishop explained that the name. Quarter Horse, was derived from the fact that the horsemen in Colonial days did not have a more suitable distance than a quarter of a mile to race their horses, thus their horses were bred for quarter mile racing. (Continued from page 1) FHA LOANS of farmers here in. the area and throughout the state, *Mr. Walker said. Following is a summary of loans made by Farmers Home Administration in the Culpeper ynit during the 1963 year. A total of $58,380 went to 20 farmers to pay for equipment, feed, seed, livestock, for other farm and home operating needs, and to refinance chattel debts. Farm ownership loans totaling about $62,720 were used by three farmers to enlarge,develop, and buy farms not larger than family size, and to refinance debts. Emergency loans amounting to an estimated $36,150 were made to seven farmers to assist in maintaining normal farming operations following the spring and summer drought. Rural housing loans estimated at $78,750 were made to eight farmers and rural resi dents. ” The Farmers Home Admlnlstration office serving Orange County is located at 608 South Main Street, Culpeper.

Security Noie$ Some self-employed farmers believe that they do not have to file a federal Income tax return if they do not owe any income tax.. Mrs.Hazel F. Daly. Manager of the Winchester District Social Security Office, reminds farmers that this belief is Incorrect She emphasizes that if a farmer’s net profit amounts to $400 or more in a taxable year, the farmer must file a federal income tax return and pay the social security self-employment tax due on his net profit. Some farmers in this area are falling to take advantage of optional methods of filing their tax returns, which are provided by the Internal Revenue Code and Social Security Act. If a farmer's net profit from his farm is less than $400 for a taxable year and he has gross receipts from sale of farm products in amounts of from $600 to $1800 he may elect to pay self-employment tax on two-thirds of the gross amount. He will thus obtain retirement and disability and survivors insurance for himself and eligible members of his'family. Mrs. Daly also said that if a farmer's gross receipts are over $1800 and his net profit is less than $1200 he may use the option of reporting $1200 as his net profit and obtain better social security insurance protection for himself and his family. None of us know when death or disability may strike us and insurance benefits are likely to be of vital importance Everyone who has questions or desires Information about his social security is urged to contact the District Social Security Office at Winchester, Va. The office is open from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,Monday through Friday. Telephone No. 662-3846. 1964 Signup Nears Feed Grain Program Farmers will have an opportunity to sign up in the 1964 feed grain program early in February, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agri cultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. The signup period will be for 7 weeks, from February 10 through March 27. As in previous years, the Chairman explained, the feed grain program will be voluntary and each individual producer on farms growing one of the three feed grains covered by the program will make his own decision about whether to take part. The program is available for corn, grain sorghum, and barley. To take part in the feed grain program, the farmer will agree to take out of production and devote to an approved conservation use at least 20 percent of the total feed grain base (for all of the three grains grown on the farm). The farmer may divert the acreage of one or more of the feed grains, but his payment will be figured according to the rate applicable to the crop diverted. Farmers who participate in the program will be eligible for diversion and price-support payments, and for pricesupport loans on their 1964 production of the three grains. The price-support payments will be made to participants whether the feed grain produced in 1964 is fed on the farm, sold, or placed under, a price-support loan. Early Ford “T's* bore stickers on the windshields warning that they should not be driven over 20 mph for the first 500 miles and that oil should be changed after the first 400 miles and every 750 miles thereafter. Since they had no speedometers — or starters or temperature gauges — determining mileages and speeds must have been difficult. Chairman Barksdale points out that two major improvements have been made in the 1964-crop feed grain program as compared with programs of previous years; (1) As much as SO percent of the total feed grain base may be diverted on any farm (the 1963 maximum was only 40 percent of the base); and (2) the average payment rate per acre for diverting 40 percent or more of the base will be sul^stanNOW thru SAT, FEB. 8 Today at 3 - 7:30 Elizabeth Taylor, Rich.
