Study of 1939-60 Local Persdncome Personal income in Rappahannock County for 1960 was $6,151 compared to $1,561 21 years previously. Total personal income in Virginia was 7,371 million dollars in 1960, reports a survey on personal income in Virginia for 1960. In 1939, Virginia’s total personal income was 1,128 million dollars. * The per capita income here was $1,150 compared with $217 in 1939 says the report by John L. Lancaster of the Bureau of Population and Economic Research at the Uni vet sity of Virginia. Arlington County had the high est per capita income in the state, $3,455, and Lee County in southwest Virginia, the lowest, $776. Income from salaries and wages was the major source of Income in the state accounting for 73 per cent of the total. Other income sources were: income of proprietors (self-employed persons), property income (rent interest, dividends) and trans. fer payments (insurance, inheritance, etc.) In Rappahannock County, net labor income was $3,586 farm proprietor’s income $1,332 non-farm proprietor’s income $39(i property income, $299 and transfer payments, $544. In 1960, 16 counties in the state derived more than 15 per cent of their total income from farm ownership. Purchasing power of those farm owners is increasing whereas it is declining in the rest of the state Those counties were Highland, Amelia, Cumberland,Hal ifax, Surry, Brunswick, Charlotte, Lunenburg, Rappahannock, Sussex, Madison, Mecklenburg, Pittsylvania, Floyd, Rockingham and Southampton. Their sources of farm income vary from the sale 6f'fruits, to livestock and livestock products, peanuts and tobacco. Farm proprietors* income accounts for less than 3 per cent of the total state income. In 1939 it was nearly 9 per cent. Lancaster suggests that this change resulted in part from the decline of farmers from 127,524 in 1940to58,761 in 1960. Fire Co., Res.

The six to eight inches of snow which fell in Rappahannock Monday night and Tuesday apparently did not satisfy Skyline Ski Area, for Tuesday afternoon they were busy making more. Seriously, the snow delighted the ski area operators after several weeks of unsasonably warm wea'her but winds drifted the snow leaving bare spots on the hillsides. Artificial snow was made to cover the bare places and add a crust over the natural snow. New snowmaking equipm ent has been installd by Snow Makers, Inc. with larger nozzles which will make snow at higher temperatures. The artificial snow is made by blowing compressed air and Water together. VIRGINIA HIGHWAY TRAVEL VP MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT I Richmond— A State Highway Department survey shows travel on Virginia's primary and Interstate systems increased by more than five per cent in the last fiscal year - one of the biggest jumps since World War II. According to the Department's tabulations an average of 24,209,677 miles were driven every day in the 12 month period ending last June 30. The state’s 1,330,000 passenger cars, which accounted for 80 per cent of all travel on Virginia highways, showed a 5.9travel increase while out of-state passenger car travel jumped 5 per cent. Fairfax County registered the most vehicle miles of travel for the counties although Arlington County was the most congested because the number of vehicle miles of travel were on fewer miles of road. Henrico County was second to Fairfax in vehicle miles of travel, Chesterfield was third and Arlington fourth Charles City County had the lowest vehicle miles of travel with 30,355 miles per day. US Route 1 continued to be the most heavily traveled through highway in the state Teddy Hodge Earns Scholastic Recognition Teddy Hodge of Amissville a student at Carson-Newman College, Jefferson City, Tenn. has earned special scholarship recognition for work during the first semester there.

The house which was unoccupied, was completely destroyed, but the store knd mill were saved. and US 11 the second. Interstate highways are being built in the corridors of both of these major routes and when completed will drain off some of the congestion; however, historic trends haifts shown that new traffic on the older roads soon replaces the drainoff and necessitates other improvements. While US 1 had only 2.24 percent of the primary system mileage, it carried 7.88 percent of all primary system traffic during the year. The annual traffic tabulation with various graphs and tables is available at the Highway Department at a nominal price Garden Club Meeting Scheduled Feb. 19 The Rappahannock Garden Club will meet with Mrs. W.

Let's Have A Party! Look up at your wall calen- dar! What days are marked in color, to give them special attention? Sundays, yes. Each Sunday is marked for special celebration of Christ’s triumph over life and death. But look again! There is another day marked to celebrate the birthdate of Abraham Lincoln, and a day in color to celebrate George Washington’s birthday. HistoVy has preserved these traditional days of celebration, as meaningful. Without them, you and I would not be possessors of our present blessings. Though to you individually, they may only mean holiday from school, or the bank being closed, or some other pleasure or. inconvenience, depending on your point of view. They help us remember, if we consider our blessings, that these days should recall for us our great dependence on the past. We are part of the fabric of the past, and you and I can help determine by our own lives, the fabric of the future. Those whom we recognize nationally, helped found, begin, create, something worth remembering. Another day in February seems worth celebrating too! It marks the birth of recognized concern, on a national scale, for a greater spirit of cooperation* between teachers and parents. It marks the formal beginning of seeing that the framework of cooperation, must be more pro** nounced in education, than the spirit of competition. This day is Founders Day, of the National Congress of Parents , and Teachers..February 1897. • Your first reaction might be, that's a long time ago. $ U I’d been born that year, be already eligible to draw Social Security...so how can their old-fashion ideas be worth perpetuation? What were their purposes: "To raise the standards of the home, not to criticize it. v;-,,: To raise children better, not ■' to raise them more easily. To cooperate with schools, not to operate them. To give every child a chance, not to make each a prodigy. To make lives, not to make money." Are they any less important to you today? In celebration of this being Founders Month, the PTA of the Washington Elementary School, has invited the District Director of the Shenan* ■; doah District. Mrs. Richard K. Goode, of Winchester, to discuss with our parents and teachers, how the Virginia Congress of Parents and Teachers can aid us in our . common purposes.

Heart Disease Major Health Problem Diseases of the heart and circulation constitute our foremost local health problem. We are not dealing with a distant abstraction. We are concerned with a life-or-death matter that exists right here in Rappahannock County. It is a challenge that can be met only through collective action. You will also find that heart disease is no respecter of age* race, sex or occupation. It strikes impartially — the rich, the poor, the middleincome, the executive, the skilled workman and the laborer. No one is immune. The vast complex of diseases which your Heart Fund dollars helps to fight — heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, inborn heart defects, rheumatic fever and many others — also constitutes a national problem of very great importance. Essentially, that is why we are waging the fight against heart disease on a nationwide basis. Research, education and community service programs of your Heart Association are the spearheading forces in this fight. It is increasingly clear that your Heart Fund dollar carries with it the capability of reducing death and disability from the heart and circulatory diseases. Heart Fund investments made during the 1950s have begun to yield a handsome return. Among the most impressive achievements are those of your Heart Association. Heart Fund dollars have dramatically speeded development of heart surgery, drugs to help control high bood pressure, drugs to guard against repeat heart attacks, ways to prevent both initial and recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever.better ways to treat heart attach stroke and other forms of the heart and circulatory diseases Credit for these great advances does not belong along to the medical scientist and the physician. Credit must also go to the Heart Fund Volunteers — those dedicated individuals who leave their own firesides on the Heart Sunday week-end to advance this all-important fight. When you are requested to serve in the fight against the heart and blood vessel diseases, please answer: “Certainly.Heart is my cause* Mrs. Wood Hosts H. D. Club The Woodville Home Demonstration Club met for its regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. H. B. Wood, Sr., on Thursday, February 6. A demonstration on "Basic Sewing Techniques* was given by Miss Harriet Goode to the following members who were present: Miss Nellie Johnson, Mrs.Amo8 Butler,Mrs.James Falls, Mrs. Gale TltcheneH and the hostess. Delicious refreshments were served by Mrs. Wood following the program. HEAD THE WANT ADS Wildlife Report Sometimes the behavior of the animal kingdom — usual and unusual -- can furnish some tidbits for the conversational mill. And such conservation is a lot less damaging than if you discuss human beings. For instance, most people know that wild ducks fly north in the springtime to nest, lay their eggs, and hatch and rear their young. Apparently, there can be a confused duck just as a confused human being. A female Mallard named Fiorello by the biologist studying her, was sitting on 11 eggs in the middle of November along Maryland’s eastern snore. Biologists do not know why Florello’s reproductive urges are so far out of alignment, but it is unusual — tc say the least — for a female Mallard to lay eggs and attempt to hatch them- in the middle of the winter. It is common knowledge that the beaver when frightened or disturbed strikes the surface of the water a resounding slap wit! its broad, flat tail. Every beaver within hearing distance then disappears as ii by magic. Did you know, however, that the throat and ears of the beaver are equipped with valves which voluntarily close when the animal dives and open again when it comes to the surface? Frogs, too, are a form oi wildlife. They also supply food for those of us who have developed a taste for frog legs, We usually think of frogs as feeding most commonly on insects. Missouri bull frogs, however, in one impoundment along the Ozark River, have developed a taste for meadow mice. During one summer month about half the food volume for bull frogs in these waters was made up of meadow mice. Meadow mice, therefore, which can be so important as food for hawks and owls apparently are a stable item ir the diet of some frogs. While on the subject of frogs, did you ever wonder why frogs are able to sing when under water? Of course, if you try to sing while underneath water in your bath tub, you'll choke and drown if you continue tc try long enough. Frogs have solved this problem by keeping their mouths and nostrils closed while singing under water. Vultures and buzzards are health protectors in warm lands where they eat dead and decaying meat. Because rotten meat has such a powerful odor to humans, it was once thought that vultures and buzzards found their odoriferous food by sense of smell. However, this is not the case. Vultures and buzzards actually have amazing vision which permits them to sight food such as dead animals from great distances and they then move into the dinner table. They are also able to tell from the flying behavior of other vultures and buzzards when these birds have seen food and are then able to come to the genera] area of the rotten meat, ever though so far away that they could not actually see the meat. Did you know that a young and growing walrus, oceanic mammal, will eat approximate ly 100 pounds of fish each day? That’s a lot of fish to eat ever if fish is your favorite food. One of the most interesting bird oddities involves a bird called the Cuckoo, a bird not at all uncommon in Virginia, which places its eggs in the nests of other and smaller birds. The Cuckoo does this through necessity. The largest of the insectivorous birds it requires a large quantity of food, keeping it constantly on the search.

It Is Not Too Late to Join Christmas Toy Chib at Dedication of Cary Montague Home Dedication of the former Vir ginia Diocesan Home" in Richmond as the Cary Montague Home and presentation of a portrait of the late Rev.Cary Montague, D. C., Episcopal minister and social worker, took place at a tea at the home the afternoon of January 30. The Rt. Rev. Frederick D. Goodwin, D.D., retired Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia,con ducted the service of prayers and dedication. The portrait was a gift from Dr. Montague’s widow.

If it left its eggs, they would become chilled and not hatch. And do you know that just before the moulting period — which is the time when most birds shed feathers and grow new ones -- ducks and geese fly to bodies of water where they will be safe from land enemies? The reason is that they moult, or shed, their outer flight feathers all at one time and for a short period of about two to three weeks cannot fly at all. The only way they can escape enemies at this time is to swim under water, hide in vegetation, or stealthily sneak away from the enemy. Missionary from 1917 to 1952. During part of that time, 1931 -45, he was Rector of the Church of the Holy Comforter Richmond, and Rector Emeritus after his retirement. He was one of the founders of the Interdenominational Religious Work Foundation (now Chaplain Service) in 1920,and served as its President for 27 years, retiring in 1956. For many years, Dr. Montague was Secretary of the Board of Christian Social Relations of the Diocese. Recalls ‘Old Days’ After seeing the old picture la6t week of Baggarly’s Mill, W. C. Campbell reported that he was sure the white horse in the photo was one which fell over the bank, broke his back and had to be destroyed. This was about 50 years ago. The wagon crossing the stream was called the “greasy Wagon’ and carried food from the convict camp to the prisioners working on the road from Massies Corner to Washington, Va.

But there’s tragedy in this event, which was tVi1Awe(if2»y Panamanian rioters assaulting U, S. territory. For these patriotic youths were raising the American flag in defiance of a regulation of the American governor of the Canal Zone. The U. S. State Department, in a despicable deed of appeasement of Panama’s leftwing nationalist, had agreed that the American flag would not fly in front of an American school, attended by American children. What could those children have thought when they read of Iwo Jima and other battles In which our flag was the symbol of our nationhood and then learned that that flag could not fly over their school? Americans at home can be thankful that they refused to countenance the shameful betrayal of American sovereignty of State Department officials. The parents of these youngsters can be everlastingly proud of the patriotic reactions of their children. If this Is the measure of American youth, the Republic will be safe in the hands of the next generation.

OUR Experience Is YOUR Protection! LEWIS PHARMACY . Prepared by American Foundation for Animal Health Farmers need to stay alert for tell-tale warning symptoms in their cattle if the "$10 disease” is to be kept under control. This disease, ketosis, gets its $10 label because annually it causes losses in excess of $10 million in the 1 million cows it affects. It strikes ewes, too, and causes additional losses there. Ketosis is generally regarded as a man-made disease because it appears to have developed as a result of breeding for more and more milk production. The result is often disastrous, for animals frequently succumb to ketosis because of the extreme demands of high lactation. Symptoms of ketosis include reduced milk production, reduced appetite, a blank and staring look, an odor like banana oil on the breath, depression, or sometimes extreme nervousness. Generally, it occurs one to six weeks after calving. It rarely is seen in firstcalf heifers. r tr^ - ■i.h' t . > Striving for higher and higher milk production may lead to losses from ketosis. One of the big dangers is that an untrained person could n)jstake these symptoms for such diseases as milk fever, grass tetany, rabies, listeriosis or perhaps leptospirosis. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is very important, and this should be done by a veterinarian. - Although prevention has not been uniformly successful, some success has been reported with a program of providing cows with well-balanced, high energy rations. In ewes, ketosis occurs a few days to a few weeks prior to lambing and thus has become known as pregnancy disease. Affected ewes may stand listlessly by themselves or trail the flock. Later they may be unable to stand, and may develop a slight nervous twitching about the head: Exercise and good rations during gestation will do much to prevent pregnancy disease. In dealing with ketosis of either cows or ewes, it is a good idea to do everything possible to prevent the disease. It may develop in spite of this and when it does calling a veterinarian promptly for diagnosis and treatment will do much to keep losses down and shorten the recovery period. the U. S. control of the canal that Is part of our system of trade and national defense. By a treaty signed more than 60 years ago, the United States obtained the right in perpetuity to the'sole use, occupation and control of the Panama Canal and Canal Zone This treaty is as valid as the document by which the United States t obtained Alaska from the Russians or the Virgin Islands from Denmark. No oge in the American government, whether minor official or President, has the right to dispose of this American territory or to accept any reduction in this country’s sov ereign rights in the Canal Zone. It is to be hoped that the Johnson administration realizes that it cannot play international politics with the Panama Canal or trade it away or share it with any other nation or combination of countries or international body. The Panama Canal, by historic right, is solely an American canal. If the Panama Canal were to fall Into the hands of some Latin American equivalent of Dictator,Nasser of Egypt, who controls the Suez Canal, America’s security would be gravely threatened. Indeed in considering the riots ,in Panama it must be borne in mind that the longtime principal aim of the communists in Latin America has been to take the canal away from the United States. If they were successful id this ■*. j_* _ rtcarved DIAMOND RINGS -SHi#pfc'V1;- Vlk ‘fr-ieSir* .;ViSi Guaranteed for Permanent Value rMwtd by Bridt* (or «wr 100 ywnl McDaniel’s Jewelers enterprise, it would be of great er help to the Soviet Union than anything they have done thus far, including the capture of Cuba. The Panama Canal is the lifeline of U. S. security in this hemisphere. It is not one bit outdated by the air age, for all inter-oceanic shipping depends on it, as do our naval forces for swift movement from one ocean to the other. All good Americans have cause to pray that President Johnson will fully appreciate the importance of fully defending and maintaining U. S. rights in the Panama Canal Zone and that he win resist to the utmost all efforts to steal or undermine those rights. If Mr. Johnson should heed the counsel of appeasers in the State Department, one can be sure that the American people would never forget such appeasement in the upcoming presidential election. It isunlikely that anyone could be elected President who bore the stigma of giving away the Panama Canal. Son.

Almonds Glamorize Baked Apples Baked apples, a standard favorite in so many American homes, go glamorous for “Almond-Glazed Apples.” ’ A two-tone effect comes from partially paring the apples before baking. Basting with a tangy orange syrup provides interesting flavor as well as a beautiful glaze. Toasted slivered almonds sprinkled atop each apple add crunchy goodness to give the finishing touch to this appetizing, nutritious dessert. Whole, slivered, diced or chopped almonds revive interest in numerous oft-served desserts, vegetables, main dish sauces, salads and sandwich fillings.

From The Home Agent’s Pen By Harriet Goode Once upon a time the bathroom was, indeed, the “stepchild* of the house. It was uncompromisingly white, and starkly sterile.But no more, says Miss Katherine Habel, home economist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Today the bathroom has come out of its porcelain and chrome isolation and become part of the decor of the house. Miss Babel says the bathroom lends Itself to decorative touches that give it theme and character. Even without a full remodeling Job, you can work miracles with attractive accents. For instance, try a change of accessories. Hang up a new show er curtain, or Install a shower or tub enclosure. Color-coordinate towels, rugs and shower curtains will help avoid a hit or miss effect. A complete change in color scheme occasionally will help keep your bathroom looking fresh and new. If you are remodeling, a double sink is a good idea. Or, with a modern vanitory, add a functional counter around the basin, with useful storage space below. A laminated top will be durable and easy to keep clean. Add colorful or interestingly made shelves and cabinets if needed. And the trend toward bringing the outdoors indoors has reached the bathroom. You can use pots of green or flowering plants, perhaps a tropical aquarium. For an unusual window treatment, replace the conventional curtain with hanging philodendron. If your bathroom is large you can modernize it by dividing it into separate areas for bathing, dressing, grooming. Dividers insure privacy, and enhance the decorative effect. The divider can be a screen of a closed cabinet for towels or an open cabinet with shelves for pottery, plants, etc. An unused window can provide cabinet space when equipped with shelves, then closed with sliding panel or shutter doors. A tiny bathroom corner can be transformed into a miniature powder room by building a triangular shelf across the angle, and backing it with two mirror panels. Add a suitable light fixture and a padded stool which will slip under the shelf. Likewise, a recess created by an otherwise useless Jag in a bathroom wall can be converted into a -make,u.p 4ind .grooming area. Homemakmg Hints Would you like to make your own brown and serve rolls? You can do It easily when you make your bread the next time, You can make brown and serve rolls from any roll recipe you .choose. After you have followed the recipe for making the roll dough and have your rolls in tbe desired shape, bake them in a slow oven, 275 degrees F. for 2(M0 minutes depending on the size of tbe rolls. Take from pans, let cook, then wrap in plastic bags and seal. They can be refrigerated or frozen until ready to use. To use, brush with fat, bake at 400-425 decrees for 9-12 minutes or until brown. Making brown and serve rolls like this lets you make a quantity of bread at one time and still have freshly baked bread at each meal. Packaging food adds to the zest of the contents of the nark^t basket. The trend is toward more packaged foods. We can expect higher costs because of the packaging process. Butter and margarine are squal in food value and the anly fats containing vitamin A. _ Around The County Four home demonstration clubs had the demonstration, Basic Sewing Techniques,during the last week.

IN THE SERVICE I w \wv x Schofield Barracks, Hawaii Army pfc Curtis V.Frazier of Amissville, Va., and near ly 3,000 soldiers of the 25th Infantry Divisions’ 2d Brigade Task Force began leaving Hawaii by air Jan.25 for Okinawa to participate in Exercise QUICK RELEASE.

Interest To Veterans We have had a number of inquiries about the recent payment of the 1964 GIinsurance dividends. These policyholders want to know why they failed to get as much as they received in 1963. This is explained by the fact that the 1963 divident included both the regular dividend and a special dividend.The checks which have just come in are the regular 1964 dividend paid in advance. No special dividend was declared for 1964. , On the subject of GI insurance we cannot urge too strong, ly the need for keeping the beneficiary up to date. The Threasher disaster of last year brought to light an appall ing example of what happens to careless veterans. On board the submarine were 13 civilians with GI insurance. Ten were married, but only one widow was the insurance bene-? ficiary. The other nine veterans had named their parents as their beneficiaries. The VA doubts that nine out of ten of these veterans Intended to bypass their widows and children Well-intentioned men continue to overlook important matters of this nature. Have you checked your beneficiary in recent years? Edward M. Mathews, of the Front Royal Office of the Division of War Veterans’ Claims, is in Washington at the Clerk’s Office on 1st and 3rd Monday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will gladly give more details on this subject or any other matter connected with veteran’s affairs. France about equals Texas in. area, but has 7 to 8 times its population. Virginia Leaders in 4-H Barbara Woora Two Virginia 4-H’ers put the 4-H motto-to make the best better-into practice and won 1963 state honors in the leadership program directed by the Cooperative Extension Service. Winners were Barbara Woore, 21, of Clear Brook, and Lewis Williamson Jr., 21, of Crewe. Miss Woore attended the 42nd National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago the week after Thanksgiving, and Williamson received a citation in recognition of his leadership work. The program awards are sponsored by the Sears-Roebuck Foundation. A senior at Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia, Miss Woore has completed eight years of 4-H work. She organized two new community clubs in Winchester and a 4-H Alumnae Club at Mary Washington College. She has participated in the programs of dairy production, clothing, canning, freezing, recreation and home improvement. , Lewis Williamson Jr. f Past chairman of Frederick County 4-H Council, she was enrolled in the Virginia chapter of 4-H All-Stars in 1961. "Nothing can beat the practical experience I received through learning by doing,” she said. A veteran of 11 years in 4-H work, Williamson is looking forward to a partnership in farming with his father after graduation from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He said he came to the farm with his family as a “city slicker” 13 years ago and feels his new knowledge and experience is worth more than the S8,220 he earned in his 67 4-H projects. "If it hadn’t been for 4-H work, I would have been lost in most of my farm work,” he said. Lesser-chief of the East Central District 4-H All-Stars, he attended the 1962 National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago as state winner in the agriculture program.

Although people think of rabies as most often occurring in dogs, the fact is that campaigns of protective vaccination have brought about a continuing drop in the number of canine cases. Recently, there has been a marked increase in rabies among skunks, rabbits and raccoons. For instance, there were 28 confirmed cases of rabies in skunks in Ohio in 1961. But in the following year, the number had climbed sharply to 310. Skunks, raccoons, foxes and bats pose the chief threat of transmitting rabies to farm animals. Generally, the first sign of rabies in livestock is a change in behavior. Animals may stop eating and drinking and may seek out dark places in which to hide. In cattle there may be a stop in the flow of milk and the animals, , WV St's ill . Rabid wild animals are becoming an increasing haiard to (arm livestock. instead of looking contented, may appear alert and anxious. Another sign in cattle is a prolonged hoarse bellow repeated at frequent intervals. Sick horses may show signs of pain such as in colic and indigestion and they may bite or strike viciously. V Rabies often is confused with digestive disorder, injury, a foreign object lodged in the throat or mouth, poisoning or the beginning of an infectious disease. In view of all these confusing symptoms it is doubly important that a veterinarian make a diagnosis if any of the symptoms appear. If rabies is diagnosed, immediate steps need to be taken to safeguard other animals. If valuable cattle and horses are exposed to rabies they should be vaccinated. This procedure should be left to a veterinarian because the method and type of vaccination is very important in building proper immunity. OUR COLORED READERS Mr. and Mrs. Wade Hampton Fletcher of Washington, Va. announce the birth of a son, Michael Wade, born February 5, 1964 at Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal.

There will be a tea and social at the residence of Mrs. Havana Jeffries on Sunday, February 16 beginning at 3 p.m. It is given for the benefit of the Womens Club. Soc, Security Notes Thousands of self-employed farmers and their dependents have retired with social securi* ty benefits in the years since 1954 when Congress extended coverage to this group. Today another 4 1/2 million people who depend upon farming for a livelihood are building social security protection against the loss of income resulting from old age, disability or death. While urging farmers in this area to file prompt and accurate Income and earnings reports for 1963. Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, social security District Manager, pointed out th& failure to report, or filing an inaccurate report, may result in reduced social security benefits. "Now is a good time,” said Mrs. Daly, "for.farmers to examine their books to see w&at they must report to Uncle Sfflpr on their Federal incopie returns for the past year." Also, she said, it is important to know that low-income fa#mers can build protection against the loss of income in old-age or following disability or death. Mrs. Daly cited a special optional provision in the law which enables farmers whose net earn ings are less than $400 to acquire social security credits. It works like this: (1) If a farmer's gross income from agricultural selfemployment is between $600 and $1800, he may cour^ twothirds of his gross farm income for social security purposes. (2) If gross farm income ex ceeds $1800 and net farm earn ings are less than $1200, he may use either his actual net or $1200. Under the above provision a farmer with annual gross income as low as $600 can declare his net earnings to be $400, or two-thirds of his gross inco/ne, to get social’ security credit for that year. Information regarding social security taxes and tax return forms can be obtained at the Internal Revenue Service office at Winchester, Va. Questions about old-age, survivors and disability benefits should be taken up with the social security office at 133 W. Boscawen St., Winchester, Va. WANT ADS DO THE JOB! Weekly Fann Price Outlook (This ia the way proepectc far Virginia farm prices looked to the Vlrglala Department of Agriculture ea Friday of last week. The Department offers it to farmers with the warning that no one can predict prices and be right all the time.) > Hogs Hog prices in the short run are expected to show a modest undertone of strength. Daily price fluctuations may occur depending of course on how receipts are affected by wintej" weather conditions. The trend should be slightly upward and no reason is seen to sell hogs under 180 pounds if you have a good feed supply. For the past three years a beginning of the year spurt in prices has been followed by a gradual decline until early summer. The long term outlook this year, however, is expected tocontinue strong into March and April with price gains expected On into the summer. Among reasons for this positive outlook are indications for slaughter to hold slightly above a year ago but then taper off to equal a year earlier by the end of February. Slaughter should then show a sharp cut-back in March and April based on 10 and 8 percent fewer sows farrowed last August and September respectively. Prices last week in the Richmond market closed mostly at $15.75. Top hogs in Virginia auctions ranged $15.50-$ 16.00 Chicago market prices last week closed at $ 15.00 -$ 16.00. Baltimore prices ranged from SI5.75-S16.25. Veal Within the next two or three weeks veal prices should begin to experience the usual seasonal downward trend. Prices this year generally are running from $3.50-$4.00 below prices last year. Average prices last week at Virginia auctions were: choice and prime $34.80, good $31.50 and standard $27.70. Sec.
