At mid-week the snow was still holding well. Rep. Marsh Pursues Need For Apple Disease Research Representative John O. Marsh, Jr. is not ready to accept a Department of Agriculture statement that it has no funds at this time with which to continue further research into the cause and con trol of the York spot disease :f of apples. i The 7th District Representa* -tlv* recently urged Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free man to institute an investigation of the problem, which is of particular concern to Virginia; where the York variety ; of apple is grown in quantity. Research director, N. C. v Brady wrote Marsh: “This Department is aware of this serious problem to the Appalachian apple industry but currently has no work under way. The President’s budget, which was recently submitted to the Congress, does not provide additional funds for expansion of fruit research. We shall, however, be glad to give consideration in the preparation of future budgets tc the requirements in pei sonnel and funds that may be needed in a study of this proh lem.“ The Virginia legislator replied by letter as follows: “I find it difficult to believe that it would be necessary for the Department to seek a sped fic new budget item, and an X additional appropriation, to give some further help on this matter. “It seems to me that the Department, at least, could provide some coordination and advice for some of the present dispersed research on York spot, as I am informed that some work has been undertaken at. the University of Maryland, Pennsylvania State University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. “Somewhere in the general research facilities of the Department I should think a modest team effort could he put together which would result in worthwhile progress toward the control of this persistent problem, and I do hope some further consideration will be given to it.* In addition, Mr. Marsh called the problem to the attention of Chairman Jamie L. Whitten of the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, and expressed the hope that Whitten would be inclined to bring up the matter with Agriculture Department officials during current appropriations hearings, with a view to deter* mining whether or not some of the substantial allotment of research money could be used for work on York spot. Mission Group To Meet Miss Annie Cooksey will be program leader for the March meeting of the Womans Missionary Society of Washington Baptist Church. The group will meet at the church March 3rd at 2 p.m. The women will also observe a Week of Prayer from March 2 through the 6 and will meet each day at the church at 2 p. m.

Cancer research by top scientists in hospitals, unir versities and laboratories. . . . Public and professional education, and clinical fellowships. . . . Information on how every American can best guard his family and himself against cancer. The Society stresses this life saving message; Cancer is a curable disease if found early and treated properly. Cancer starts small, usually without pain, and it grows silently. Therefore, every adult person should have health checkups each year, to know ana recognize cancer’s danger signals, and go to this doctor if one lasts more than two weeks. The annual health check-up is the key to raising cancer cure rates today. Local Forest Wardens Named Raymond M.

BEEF PRODUCTION: New Methods In Use... Others Coming W. H. Lyne, Co. Agt. Ineight on new methods of beef cattle breeding and production recently put in use as well as others in process of development were covered , during the program at the annual meeting of the Virginia Beef Cattle Association held Feb. 16th and 17th at Natural Bridge. George Litton, Head of V. P. I.’s Animal Science Depart ment, in his personable and intelligent manner moderated a panel of five men. . all outstanding in their fields. . for a full two hours. Topics and men covering same were as follows: Cross Breeding - Mr. Tillman Bubenzer, Farm Supt. Conner Prairie Farms. Nobelsville, Ind. Performance Testing - Mr. John J. Hickman, Jr. Marketing Manager, Armour Beef Cattle Improvement, Denver, Colo. is Synchronizing Esterus - Dr. T. N. Meacham, Teaching and Research Staff V. P. I. Blacks burg, Va. I. Quality - Mr. Howard H. White, Assistant Manager Hygrade Food Products Corp. Richmond, Va. New Concepts in Beef Carcass Evaluation - Mr. Al ? Kluener, President, Edward 5 J. Kluener Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. *»: Nothing so very new about ♦ crossbreeding. Mr. Bubenzer . . a shrewed German. . likes It. will stick with it. Feeds out his own. Virginia research results: show around 30% in' crease in growth rate, higher percentage calf crop, mote :hardiness. Definite trend increased buyer acceptance of ^cross-bred feeder, calves. Quality standardef'-’df’meat "quite different from quality standards of live animal. Meat quality should and can be a result of breeding should not 'be had by needle injections of ^tenderizing chemicals. Cutout differences of animals of same slaughter grade on foot vary as much as $41.00 in salable meat. Housewife doesn't want fat — wants lean red tender tneat of good flavor. Mar belling, (streaks of far intermingled with red meat) still desirable. Armour selected three hundred young bulls weighing 500 550 pounds that had proven through performance testing 4 as calves. Tested on feed by Oklahoma A. and M. minimum requirements 2 1/2 pounds Rain per day. I forgot what feed conversion requirements were. Only 38 met all minimum feed lot requirements, Further selections were made by electronic sonoscope (an electronic gadget for measuring back fat) and something that sounded to me like photogramming. . similar tosteroscope. Anyway it allows three dimensional viewing of muscle lng qualities. Bulls passing all requirements were sent to Texas and bred to determine transmitting ability of their qualities. The end product. . five Armour Gold Star Bulls whose semen has been made <,'available to cowmen through Al Studs. Armour has already : bad private offers as high as $50,000.00 for ownership intea •st. (Beef breed Associations require 1/2 ownership of sire to register artincially inseminated offspring). This semen will be available through the Virginia Artificial Breeding Stud to Rappahannock A. I. technician, Edwin Scroggins, Jr. More about practicality of A. I. of beef cows later in this report. Synchronizing Esterus (heat) in beef cows will be possible as soon as harmone material for feeds is cleared by PureFood and Drug now in process. Material must be throughly mixed in feed (by machine) and abundant space available at troughs so all cows can get their share. Feeding of "harmone impregnated feed is commenced 40-60 days after calving and continued for around twenty days. Majority of cows come in heat within seven days after feeding of material is discontinued. Results. . more uniform calf crop. . makes artificial insemination of beef cows more practical as less costly handling of herd is required. No ill after effects noted to date. Will not correct faulty breeding qualities of individual cows as (toes not improve fertility nor rate of conception. Newest and most fool proof method of detecting heat in beef cows is through use of bull made sterile by having had a portion of his seminal vesicle removed. Economic practicality of art! fical insemination of beef cows depends on each Individual farm situation; arrangement and location of field boundaries with respect to holding penB and chutes, herd size, labor, bull costs, etc. etc. Beef cows will conceive as readily as dairy cows through this'method of breeding. The problems; means of detecting heat, costs of handling herds, (time lost from other productive work, availability and cost of labor, and probably some reduction In growth rate of calves at cow's side.) Possibly labor costs would be equalized in a A. I. -Synchronized Esterus system at breeding as compared to a natural un synchronized system. For sure use of bulls possessing meat type siring qualities, low feed conversion, and growthyness which Armour Gold Star Bulls appear having must be considered. Finding a truly gd&d bull li indeed a problem and ever after getting a bull that will breed the desired characterle tics into a herd of cows its a problem finding a replacement that will insure holding onto advantages gained. Garden Club Meets The Rappahannock County Garden Club which was scheduled for Wednesday was postponed until Friday due to snow conditions. It met at Rose Hill home of Mrs. W. C. Hall and it the absence of the president and vice-president Mrs. C. E. Johnson presided.

It seems that certain useful crafts, once practiced by many in Rappanannock, might be lost and forgotten unless some deliberate effort is made to preserve them. Another reason :here is interest in reviving crafts and in learning new cnes is that such a hobby would fill a social and recrea:ional need for some, be a means of creative self expression for some and could possibly become a source for supplementary income for athers. There are living in Rappahannock at present several individuals who are either expert or “fair to middling good* at one or more of the arts or crafts and would enjoy knowing someone else with whom to share their enthusiasm. One aim is to compile a list of such persons so that they might communicate with each other if they wish. -Many delightful possibilities for an arts and crafts group have been mentioned, but the direction such a project would take would depend on the amount of interest. Miss Harriet Goode, Home Agent, has assisted greatly in “getting the ball rolling* by planning and setting up the first definite activity. This will be a rug making demonstration by Miss Catherine Peery of V.P.I., a rural crafts specialist. These meetings will be held March 4 and 5 at Amissville Fire Hall from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. On the 4th Miss Peery will work with hooked rugs and on the 5th she will help with braided rugs. Anyone in the county who is interested, may come to Amissville to these demonstrations. It is hoped that demonstrations or work shops of other crafts can be set up from time to time in accordance with the number of folks interested in the same craft. If you are interested or know of somebody who is, please contact one of the people listed below: Miss Harriet Goode, Washington, Mrs. T. J. Pillar, Chairman, Sperryville, Mrs. Barbara Gentry, Mrs. F. L. Bowey, Mrs. Helen Kilby, Miss Nellie Johnson, Mrs. [. L. Parrish or Mrs. Elmo Flynt.

It's Time to Set Onions We have ready for you a supply of Southern States quality onion sets. »ee us Today s Southern States Front Royal Cooperative Phone ME Ml 18 FRONT ROYAL Your Southern States Cooperative Agency * From The ^ Home Agent’s Pen By Harriet Goode Do you feel like a queen for a day as you go about doing your weekly shopping? If you feel as many do, the answer is a resounding “No!" You can cheer up, though. You really are a queen. You have servants all over the country, all doing their best to please you and wishing they knew better how to do it. The farmer, the manufacturer the retailer all gear their business to serve you. Let’s take a good Virginia product, apples, as an illustration of how yo u rule your subjects. Since the retailer is the one you influence most directly, he will be your first subject. Walk into a retail store and you may find red apples, yellow apples, and green apples. You may find apples in trays bags, boxes, baskets or loose. They may be priced by the pound or by the unit (peck, half-bushel, or bushel). There will be different types, qualities and prices. Why all the choices? It’s not because your grocer really wants to have so many kinds, types and prices of apples. It’s because he’s convinced you want therr and if you don’t find them ir his store, you’ll go to anothet How about the manufacturer' He is your servant, too. D< you want apples as juice, sauce pie filling, slices, baked, frozen or some other form? The apple processor probably it packing them for you. He tot is constantly on the lookou for new ways to serve you bj making apples more tasty o easy for you to buy and use The we come to the farmer Each fall you buy apples. . by the pound, by the peck by the bushel. Put us all together and we buy a tremendous amount of apples. Now here’s a farmer planning tc plant some new apple trees How does he decide what t< giant? ^He goes to you, hii ’’queen’’ for answers. Perhaps you like crisp, juic; apples, it may seem that yoi want apples largely to ea out - of - hand. Your farme: looks at how you’ve been buying apples and plants the kind you seem to want most. So, as you do your weekly shopping and pick up a bag of apples, you may or may not feel like a “queen for a day" but you are. In fact, you’re more than a queen just for the day. You’re acting as queen for the year and often, as in the case of the farmer,planting apple trees, for many,many years. j Homemaking Hints How can I can get a frozen pie to bake uniformly? Often the top crust is fully browned before the pie is thoroughly bqked. Why? These are questions which are giving concern to homemakers. One solution is to thaw, the pie slightly before you put it in the oven. The slight thawing tends to reduce overbrown ing of the top crust before the pie is fully baked. Also it will allow the bottom crust to bake more thoroughly. Remem. ber, too, that if you use a dull pie pan for the baking, the bottom crust will brown more rapidly and uniformly. A shiny pan will reflect a great deal of the radiant heat of the oven and thus slow down cooking. A ******** Homeowners who use salt to Clear their sidewalks and driveways should be careful where they sweep it. The salt can damage lawn and shrubs. Although grass is dormant at this time of year, the roots are still active. Too much salt in the soil may cause the plants to die. In the case ■ of shrubs where snow with salt may have been tossed on , them, you may note a browning or burning of leaves. ■' When salting your sidewalk . use no more salt than is ; heeded. Direct the slush con, taining salt into the street rather than sweeping it aside . and onto your lawn. If you use r a snow blower, avoid deposit ing the salt-filled snow on shrubs and turf. Around The County Things are hustling and bustling on the county scene in the next few weeks and > everyone seems to be en, joying the activity.

In other words any cattleman pounding a 1000 lb. cow last year lost $49.00 because we have been asleepat the switch. A general agreement on tariffs and trades (GATTJ made thirty years ago between the U. S. and certain countries and which was never ratified is responsible. Production costs in New Zealand and Australia are much lower than ours. Cattlemen of these countries realizing this plus the fact that import duty was but 3C per pound while other costs, u dll&pui dllUII, liclilU 1 I 11 g charges, etc. swelled the total cost to 11-12C a pound meant our market was a gold mine for these down-under producers. A cow in Australia cost around $25.00. . not a hundred weight — by the head! According to a letter received from Allan W. McGhee, Editor of the Chicago Drovers Journal imports of fresh beef and veal for the first eleven months of the years were as follows: 1963-846,988,000 pounds; 1962 - 739,192,000 pounds; 1961 - 516,363,000 pounds while for corresponding months in I960 the total was 391,401,000 pounds. You can figure the percentage increase. Also it is interesting to convert this meat to a cow basis. Most cows weight around 10(30 pounds and have a 50% dressing percentage. Simply divide 500 pounds into total Imports and you'll get the number of head. Then too Mr. McGhee reported 99,239,000 pounds of canned beef Imported the first eleven months of last year. GATT also states that any country breaking the agreement is liable to the other country for resulting losses. In other words if a nation was sending 10 million pounds of beef into the U. S. and a quota reduced that nation to 5 million pounds, the government would have to pay the nation for any damage incurred in marketing the other 5 million pounds. Where or how this mess will! wind up remains to be seen, however both Virginia Beef Cattle Association and the American National Cattlemens Association are leaving no stone unturned toward getting it corrected. Carl La Orange, President of V. B. C. A. would up his talk at Natural Bridge as follows: “We are not whining when in the first 6 months of last year compared to the same period in 1962 the increase in imports oi meat to U. S. was 21% on beef and veal, 18% on mutton and 95% on lamb. We are not whining when the U. S. is importing 25% of the total quantity of meat moving in world trade and the cattle industry is not whining when the Government recognizes the danger of large imports to other industries but studiously avoids making the recognition of the cattleman's problem, for example last December our Government raised the tariff on trucks valued at a $1,000.00 or more from 8 1/2 to 25%. The cattleman understands that action and does not condemn it. But he uses more trucks than any other group and he has great difficulty understanding why he cannot exist under the same ground rules. He cannot under stand it and neither can I.* _W. H. Lyne Soc. Security Notes Prompt and accurate reporting of net earnings was described today as the only way to assure self-employed people of social security protection in future years. In a Joint notice to self-employed people, Mr. A. M. Stoepler, District Director of Internal Revenue, and Mrs. Hazel F.Daly, social security District Manager, advised that the 1963 Federal income tax returns (Form 1040) must be filed on or before April 15, 1964. Mr. Stoepler stated that a self-employed person must file a tax return and pay the self employment tax if net earnings for the year were at least $400, even if no income tax is payabff?. Mrs. Daly reminded selfemployed persons that any oldage, survivors, and disability insurance benefits pay able to them and their families will be based on credits reflecting reported earnings. If earnings are not reported or if they are incorrectly report ed, benefit amounts may be reduced--in some cases lost entirely--when the worker retires, becomes disabled, or dies. To illustrate the importance of reporting self-employment earnings, Mrs, Daly cited the case of a young farmer with a large family. When selfemployed farmers were first brought under social securit; in 1955, Jim was too busy to give much thought to It. He had his share of farm chores and a new baby in the family. Jim thought of social security as something for older people like Jenkins, his neighbor who was drawing old-age, insurance benefits after 30 years of work as a machinist. Jim thought he could wait a bit before looking into his social security business. Jim changed his mind and decided to look into this “bust ness" after a speaker at the local farm association explained social security survivor benefits. It reminded him of his wife and small son. He field and income tax return and paid the social security for 1958. Profits were small that year. He also filed and paid for 1959, 1960, and" 1961, but profits were a little better. But then Jim lost his health; late in 1962 he died. Jim’s widow applied for social security benefits for herself and the child. These benefits are helping her now to hold on to the farm. When Jim'8 son grows up he will be able to take over the farm business as he dad intendedthanks to Jim’s foresight in protecting his family through social security. Interest To Veterans If you had been a soldier during the Civil War. the chance 8 are one out of six that you would have lost your life in service. According to a recent Veterans Administration study, the Civil War was the most" deadly lit terms of U. S. servicemen who lost their lives. The same study showed that the War of 1812 had the lightest "Hosses, one opt of every 218'soldiers. Between these two extremes were the following combat loss figures: Mexican War, one in 10; SpanishAmerican War and World War I, one in 36; World War II, one in 40; Revolutionary War, one in 99; Korean Conflict, one in 126. Nearly 32 million men and women have served in this country’s wars, and almost one million have lost their lives. The average is one death out of every 32 participants. World War II produced the greatest number of combat losses - 409,000 of the mpre than 16 million participants. 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.
