VOLUME XVII _ NUMBER 17. |Qc Copy WASHINGTON. VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1965 SUBSCRIPTION $2.50 PER YEAR (In Advance) t !P SUI o j... Mrs. Audrey G. Brown and Miss Carolyn brown of Sperryville, Va. recently returned from a delightful cruise aboard the completely air-conditioned S. S. BAHAMA STAR, to nearby Nassau, from Miami, with the ship docking right at Bay Street in quaint Nassau, making it easy to shop in the native straw market, swim at Nassau’s famed beaches, and enjoy Bahamian night life. No ^Injuries Reported from Minor Traffic Crashes in Past Two Weeks John Davis Brown of Sperryville was not injured when his car went out of control on Route 211 near Panorama Wednesday, February 24. Brown was proceeding toward Luray at 6:40 a.m. when the accident occurred. The 1964 Chevrolet he was driving ran off the right of the highway and overturned. According to Trooper W. A. Buntin William McKinley Fletcher of Washington, Va. operating a 56 Oldsmobile went through a fence on the Noyes farm near Huntly on February 21. There were no injuries. A 1963 MG operated by F rances Elizabeth Murphy of Winchester was damaged when hay fell from a passing truck on Route 211 near Washington on February 26. The 58 International truck was owned by Tom Lee of Washington and operated by John Lee, also of Washington, according to Trooper Buntin. Mrs. Murphy; was norinjured. A single-car crash occurred on Route 211 five miles east! of Washington on February 26. Sgt. Monis of Vint Hill Farms lost control of his 62 Chevrolet convertible when he skidded on wet pavement. The vehicle went off the highway and struck a fence. There were no injuries, according to Trooper Buntin. March Is Red Cross Fund Drive Month March has been named as Red Cross month for fund raising. In proclaiming this President Johnson said “This year I ask and I urge each of you to join up, to join in, in the support that your Red Cross needs-and to do it in every way that you can". He added "Your help now can keep the Red Cross ready to answer the calls for help whenever and wherever they are heard." Although Fauquier and Rappahannock counties had their Fund Drive in October, many people were not reached at that time, for one reason or another. Letters are being sent out asking for contributions now. It is hoped that a good response will be made to this appeal. A comic skit in th| assembly program was given by Henry Sutherland, Sammy Delph, Hilly Compton, Sarah Clark, Linda Lilly, Mary Costello, Susan Baldwin, Floyd Faulkner and Ray Compton. Temporary Warden Removed at Request of Local Politicians A Game Warden who had been temporarily appointed to Rappahannock County and had served here only a week, was removed from the county by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries Friday at the request of local politicians, according to a spokesman for the Commission. Game Warden W. S. Mays was removed after Mr. Tom Frost, member of the House of Delegates representing Rappahannock, told the Commission the politicians of the county wanted him removed by Saturday, said the Commission spokesman. There was no personal reason as far as Mr. Mays was concerned for his removal (he hardly got his bags unpacked) but said Mr. Frost, the ones making the request preferred to wait until applications for game wardens were open latet; He referred to those making the request as the county government. The Commission said they had sent Mr. Mays to fill the position left open by the death of the former warden because he was well qualified, one of the best men they had for the position, and any county would be fortunate to get him. According to several members of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, they did not know of the warden's removal until it was all over and done with an one did not know he had even been here. Chairman of the Board, J. Newbill Miller, said he was one of the people requesting the removal. He felt that a local person should have an opportunity to qualify for this position, and that we had in Cancer Crusade Kick-Off Meeting March 9th The kick-off meeting of the Cancer Crusade will be held at the courthouse, Washington. Va. on March 9 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Field representative C. Q. Meadows, will be present to help formulate the plans for the fund campaign and a film will be shown. All officers of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society, members of the-Board of Directors and workers are urged to attend the meeting. State and County Tags On Sale March 15 Virginia auto license tags for 19o5 will go on sale March 15 and as in the past several years will be handled by agent Gibson Wharton at Hampton Inn and Service Station. Mr. Wharton advises motor vehicle owners to purchase tags early and avoid the rush. Dead line for the purchase of tags is April IS. Rappahannock County license tags will be available at the County Treasurer's office beginning March 15 also, with April 15 the deadline for the purchase of these, according to Treasurer Robert L. Brown. County tags are $10. the county a number of young men capable of the job. He said it should be filled on a competitive basis by a qualified local person. E. M. Jones Clerk of the Court voiced the same convictions as Mr. Miller. Game wardens are trained and given examinations before being assigned to positions and according to the Commission are hot stationed in their native county. The Game Commission is financed solely by the revenue obtained from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. Fines for hunting or fishing convictions do not go to the Commission but to the Literary Fund. Outdoor Burning Restricted Mar. 1 Effective Monday, March 1, Virginia law prohibits outdoor burning before 4 o’clock in the afternoon. This law states that from March 1, to May 15, of each year, it is unlawful to burn within 300 feet of woodland or inflammable vegetation leading to woodland, except between the hours of 4 o’clock in the afternoon and 12 o’clock midnight. This means that, in most cases, it will be unlawful to burn except late in the afternoon, because few places are located 300 feet or more away from woods or dry grass fields, Although the law may seem restrictive, it is based on data accumulated through years of experience by the Division of Forestry. Most of the big forest fires originate during the early or middle part of the day. At this time, during March, April, and May, the temperature is high, wind is strong, and humidity is low. These weather conditions, along with the dry and combustible vegetation which is plentiful at this time of .year make outdoor fires hazardous at any time. However, since the wind usually decreases late in the day, and the humidity rises burning may be safer during legal burning hours late in the afternoon. Outdoor burning accounts for about 35 to 40 percent of all forest fires in Virginia. While some fires start when the burning is actually being done, a great many fires start the 'day the burning is done. This happens when the coals are left to smolder, and failing to go out, sparks blow to dry grass the next day resulting in a damaging forest fire. Foresters request that the following precautions betaken when burning at any time during the hazardous spring months. (1) Observe the law, burn only during legal hours. (2) Stay with the fire until it is dead out, or extinguish before leaving. (3) Have tools and water handy. (4) Clear a wide area around place where burning will be done. (5) Burn only when the wind is calm and humidity is„ high. Continued on page 2 The rolling hills of Rappahannock will be the setting Saturday, March 6 for Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races.

THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS, Washington. Vs. a f Thursday, March 4, 1965 RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia TELEPHONE: WASHINGTON 675-3349 MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Entered as 2nd Class Mail at the Post Office at Washington, Va. Subscription Rate (In Advance): $2.50 per year in Rappahannock and adjacent counties;-43.00 elsewhere. Rnpp-Qrats By \Y. H. Lyne Forty different farm mer and ladies and businessmer participated in the Extensior School held each Wednesday bight last month at the High School. The final session drev a party of five from Charlestown, West Va. while several from Bluemont came a nighi early and missed out. Local communities represented were Washington, Flini Hill, Ca6tleton, Sperryville, Huntly, Ami8sville, Boston, Woodville, and Viewtown. A survey of those attending the final session showed a decided majority rated the school as ‘excellent". All requested that a similar school be held next winter! We thank these people for their intelligent interest displayed as well as the many favorable comments. Some interesting points were brought out by all of the speak ers; To mention a few: Curtis Mast in giving a progress report on certain phases of beef cattle research made several noteworthy observations. Crossbred calves •showed a 5% faster growth rate with 10% higher liveabili ty than straight-breds.” Also he said "growth rate and size of rib eye in beef parcasses were 60% heritable". These are highly heritable genetic factors. In commenting on cow-size: Mr. Mast reported that, “if a 1200 pound cow produced a given net profit from a 500 pound calf then a cow weighing 1500 pounds would have to produce a 650 pound calf to be gfe equally profitable”. V George W. Litton advised powmen to beware of shy breed in their herds as failure to^conceive meant a loss of 35-40 pounds of feeder calf to pell per heat period! Roy Heltzel showed how selection buying of fertilizer pould mean a difference of $9.00 in per acre costs for materials alone even though, |n each case, the same amount pf actual plant food was applied. ‘Dr. Joe Fontenot made the following recommendations on preventing Grass Tetany: force feed 2 1/2 ounces finely ground dolomitic limestone per cow per day, or force feed 1/2 ounce magnesium oxide per cow per day; or offer free choice year-round a 1:1 ratio of salt and magnesium oxide. Commence force feeding of minerals 6 weeks be fore calving and continue until 2 months after calving. ********** Mast also expressed belief that the harmone, progesterone, used in controlledestrus in beef cows, will be released within a year. This harmone is fed daily for a three-weeks period; four days later most of the ' cows will be ready to breed. The heat period will re-occur three weeks later. It is presently considered to be of value as an aide to artificial insemination during the first and second heat period following feeding of the harmone. Cows are bred articifically in March and April which should settle 50%-70%. Clean-up bulls are used after the first two heat periods. It makes A.I. of cows to superior bulls practical and reduces the number of bulls a breeder will have to keep by 50%. ********** ? ‘CORN PERFORMANCE TESTS* - 1964 have been . received. Sorry there are not a sufficient number of copies for general distribution. Reports of the Orange and Blacksburg Experiment Station were under conditions most like those in Rappahannock County so findings at these stations are of the great est value to us. Each variety tested is rated as to stand obtained under two rates of planting, % lodged, % broken, yield at both high (22,000 kernels/acre) and low (17,000 kernels/acre) rates of planting, relative yield as compared to old stand-bys, quality of grain etc. Come by and look the report over. You may want to try some of the more promising new varieties or see how the corn you have been planting compares. The 1963 Virginia Livestock Farm Account Summary including 135 farms shows some interesting facts. Of the thirty one Beef Cow-Calf farms reporting there was; an average loss of $1161.00; with a high net of $9,180.00 and a low of minus $8,813.00 The high farm probably sold high quality purebreds at fancy prices and must have had some wellpaying minor enterprises in addition. For sure his acres per animal unit increased an average of $968 in 1963 over 1962, while average receipts declined $1279.00. None of this comes as a surprise. Nor is it surprisingthat the 40 cow-calf-steer farms had an average net loss of $2623, and the 53 general livestock farms a net loss of $555. 00. All points towards the necessity of lowering production costs without lowering EGG PRODUCERS!

The signup for the 1965 feed grain program, which extends through March 26, offers winter wheat growers an “open season" for changing their intended participation in the 1965 wheat program, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. The signup period now under way is primarily for growers of corn, barley, and grain •sorghum to enroll under the 1965 feed grain diversion program. lt In Virginia, the wheat program signup was conducted last fall. At that time it was announced that growers who signed up then would have an opportunity to revise their intended participation during the feed grain signup period this spring. Wheat growers who signed up last fall now may revise the number of acres ,to be diverted or may re scind the agreement. March 26 will be the last day for filing revised intentions for taking part in the 1965 wheat and feed grain diversion programs. The Chairman reminded farmers that the programs’ substitution provision is available only if the participating growers are signed up in both the feed grain and the wheat programs. This provision enables growers to substitute wheat (or feed grains or feed grains for wheat in qualifying for diversion payments, there by providing program participants greater flexibility in farming operations. In this case, the rate of the available diversion payment would be based on the crop actually diverted into a conserving use. Farmers who sign up and then meet provisions of the feed grain program may qualify for diversion payments, price-support loans, and price support payments on the normal yield of the diverted acrea The wheat program offers pai=ticipating farmers diversion payments, price-support loans, and domestic and export certificates (with a cash value) for as much as 80 percent of the normal production of the allotment, provided it is planted. P Pen ► By Doris Daugherty You can’t tell an egg by Its shell. You have toknowwhat’s inside and you can’t look until you’ve bought them. However, Federal-State graders can tell what’s inside an egg. Their impartial ratings, which include candling for quality, take the guesswork out of buying eggs. You simply buy by their grade ratings. The grades are Fresh Fancy or AA, A, and B. These grades are applied to jeggs of all sizes, and colors. | The best eggs have a small spread when broken out. The white is thick and high; the yolk is firm and high. These bear a U. S. Fresh Fancy or Grade AA label. f An egg that rates U. S. jprade A has a little more “spread and a white that’s noi rquite so thick and high, i Grade B eggs have a widei ly spreading white and a rather !f 1 at, enlarged yolk. , The grade you choose will depend on what you want to do with them. Fresh Fancy, AA, and A are ideal for any purpose, but are especially good for frying, poaching and boiling where appearance is important. Grade B eggs are fine for general cooking and baking. The color of an egg’s shell makes no difference. White or beige, - an egg is an egg. Brown and white eggs come In che same sizes and qualities, and they have the same nutritional value. Whatever your age, eggs should be an important part of your diet. They are one of the most easily and completely digestible foods, and they’re loaded with protein, vitamins and minerals. According to the nutritionists at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, eggs compare in protein with foods like meat and milk. They also contain 2 of the B vitamins, thiamine and riboflavin, plus vitamins A and D. Egg yolks hpd a rich store of iron for red blood cells as well as other minerals needed by the body. Eggs need to be kept cool and covered, so store them in the refrigerator in the cartons they come in for the proper protection. If, however, you prefer to transfer them to the egg storage unit of your refrigerator, be sure to place them large end up, so they will keep better.

In industry and business--but not onthefarm. It’s up to each farmer to add this job to his list of othersnot only for his safety, but for other members of his family. On the farm, the entire family lives on the worksite, so to speak, and every member is exposed to farm or farmwork dangers for extra hours each day. Farmers must operate many kinds of machinery and handle many different jobs requiring a variety of skills. According to the American Medical Association, the human factor is largely responsible in nine out oftenacci dents. They cite the case of “John Smith" who lost an arm in a corn picker, trying to unclog it with the power on. A week before the accident John and his neighbor had an argument over an unrepaired fence that permitted the neigh-' bor s cattle to do considerable damage. The night before, they had met in town and had an angry exchange of words. John came home boiling mad. He READ THE WANT ADS! FOR SALE— 300 bales mixed hay, orchard, timothy and clover.

The morning had gone badlyhis truck had a flat tire, the tractor wouldn’t start, and he was in a bad mental mood. He had gotten up tired and jittery and was so pre-occupied thinking about what he’d tell Brown about his destructive cattle that he simply wasn’t paying much attention to his job. His reflexes were much slower than usual. An accident stage had been set--a tired, angry pre-occupied man, a powerful tractor and a potentially dangerous machine. Then, suddenly, a bad clog angered him further. Without thinking, he jumped off his tractor, without turning off the power, and attacked the mass of stalks and weeds. Suddenly, he was* minus an arm! The AMA says the moral is that no such accident is simple. Generally there are many things that contribute to it. Far too often there are many such '‘human” factors behind farm accidents. Some contributing factors are: fatiguej working while sleepy, or while taking strong medicines. The farmer should take brief breaks during the day, if necessary, to prevent fatigue. Anger, emotional upsets, being “down in the dumps”, grie^ worry, tension--these can set the stage for accidents in any profession. Avoid taking unnecessary chances or using unsafe short cuts such as not shutting off power before unblocking a machine. Avoid extreme hunger by taking mid-morning or mid afternoon snacks during busy times to help prevent a letdown, and to enable you to carry on your work at top efficiency and safety. Be prepared for the unexpected. Learn to cope wuh each difficult situation rationally as it arises. Avoid putting off necessary repairs. Don’t overlook or ignore small things that can cause big trouble later. Social Security Notes Social security beneficiaries who are still working should report any increase in their earnings that would change their estimated incomes for 1965, cautioned Mrs. Hazel F. Daly, district manager, Winchester, Virginia social securi ity office. I Beneficiaries who work and !earn over $1200 a year make an annual report of their estimated earnings for the coming year, Mrs. Daly explained. The amount of benefits withheld by the Social Security Administration is based on this estimate. To avoid overpayment in social security benefits, any increase in earnings above the estimate should be reported to social security promptly. If a beneficiary receives more in benefits than he should have, his checks may be suspended to make up for the overpayment, Mrs. Daly pointed out. Revisions in the estimates may be made on post card forms furnished beneficiaries or at any social security office. To delay may cause hardship later, Mrs. Daly warned.

Lands Red Cross State Report An annual report of American Red Cross activities for the State of Virginia was presented to Governor Albertis S. Harrison, Jr. at the Capitol in Richmond, Wednesday, Feb. 24th. Summarizing the report. Governor Harrison praised the dedication of 32,503 volunteers in 11 chapters throughout the State, and he urged Virginia residents to continue supporting local Red Cross projects and services. “The far-ranging fields of Red Cross endeavor, including important programs of national and international services and relief,* said the Gov ernor, “sometimes eclipse the fact that the organization is basically the embodiment of the simple ideal of neighbors voluntarily joining hands to help one another.* On hand to present the Governor with a detailed report of the significant Red Cross activities in Virginia during the period July 1, 1963 through June 30, 1964, were State Fund Chairman, Mark V. O' Neill and Red Cross State Relations Representative, Floyd L. Pillow. Report statistics showed that major disaster assistance over the past year totaled $38,349 to 42 affected families In addition 347 families in 422 minor disaster-type emergencies were given Red Cross assistance by local chapters. A disaster is termed major when more than five families are involved. All funds expended for direct assistance to disaster victims were in the form of grants, not loans and were given on the basis of need, not loss. Governor Harrison noted that over the past year Red Cross instructors trained 25, 095 persons in first aid skills, and that 46,402 residents, mostly children, were taught swimming, lifesaving, and small craft operation tech niques. He also noted that 31,626 servicemen received help at military installations located in the State. Service to Military Families workers in local chapters assisted 4,904 veterans and 1,769 military de pendents or veterans' survivors with their problems. A total of 101 community, military, and veterans' hospitals in the State used 80,499 pints of whole blood provided to hospital patients with out charge for the blood itself Valuable blood derivatives used to aid in the prevention and treatment of disease, illness, or injury were provided. The Governor also pointed out that Red Cross Youth play a major role in statewide activities by working side by side with adult volunteers in community service programs. Some 388,455 students in 834 primary and secondary schools were enrolled in Junior and High School Red Cross. Governor Harrison described the Red Cross report as evidence of the organization’s total commitment to its congressionally chartered responsibilities -- to act as the medium of voluntary relief and communication between the American people and their armed forces, to carry on a system of national and international relief to prevent and mitigate suffering caused by disaster, and generally to pro mote measures of humanity and the welfare of mankind.

For years she has reigned supreme. But now there is one little subject--the alfalfa weevil--which is busy whittling Her Majesty down to size! While small, this little anarchist has an appetite big as all outdoors! He wasn’t much of a problem back when heptachlor-f e r t i 1 i z e r mixtures could be used. The farmer could control him while applying plant nutrients. But heptachlor has been outlawed because of a residue problem. Malathion and diazinon are recommended for control, used as sprays in the spring. When properly applied, they give good control. It takes more effort to get good coverage, though, and many farmers are just not putting out the effort needed to do the job. Many of them are unhappy with results and are saying they must find something to replace alfalfa as their main forage crop. Virginia Polytechnic Institute agronomists think it may be a little premature to talk of giving up alfalfa. They agree however, that for some growers a switch may be called for. They figure it will cost about $100 per acre to produce alfalfa where $13.25 per acre is allotted for three sprayings to control the weevil. If production amounts to 4.75 tons per acre, then it is costing about $20 per ton to produce alfalfa. This figures approximately $2.54 per hundred pounds of total digestible nutrients as fed to the animal. The agronomists believe that a farmer must be producing at least 3.5 tons per acre of alfalfa to make it profitable. Those with an average yield of only 2.5 tons may need to look for an alternative crop or improve their production practices. However, the farmer who is making 3.5 tons per acre, who is getting good control of the weevil with recommended treatments, and who has the soils on which to grow the crop properly, should probably stay in alfalfa production. After all this is said, it still leavps some farmers looking for a substitute for alfalfa, pfobably the first crop they should consider is corn silage It can produce more TDN per acre than any crop and at the lowest cost per hundred pounds of any crop except pasture, and if properly handled produces a high quality forage. Corn silage helps intensify your feed program, if your soil is suitable for high yield. Corn silage with winter cover crops may be grown continuously on certain first bottom soils, and on level lands not subject to erosion. Many soils and situations are not suitable for producing continuous corn, however. It is quite possible to produce 20 tons of silage per acre on many soils, and some soils can make 25 to 28 tons per acre. While Sudan-sorghum hybrids will not replace alfalfa or corn silage, they should fit into the cropping system on many farms. On good soils, properly fertilized and produced, you may grow up to IT Tons of silage per acre. In most tests the yield has been 14 to 15 tons per acre. The cost of producing a hundred pounds of TDN is higher on Sudan-sorghum silage than on corn silage produced on good soil. Many farmers ask about producing orchardgrass or some Our Colored Readers A Chicken and Chitterling Dinner will be served Friday, March 5 at Pine Knot Inn, benefit of Washington Graded School, given by Mrs. Mabel Glasker, starting at 5:30 p.m. Dinners . in, 75(5, out $1.00.

Agronomists at Virginia Tech have found that with 100 pounds of nitrogen and adequate phosphate and potash, production averages two and one-half to three tons of hay per acre. This hay will be more expensive than alfalfa with three spring sprayings to control the weevil. It will cost about $2.90 to $3 per hundred pounds of TDN, against about $2.50 for alfalfa, and $2.50 for the Sudan-sorghum cross. Considerable work has beer done with barley as a silage and it Is quite satisfactory when cut at the soft dough stage. It often gives yields of ten or more tons p^r acre. Some farmers are using a one year cropping system of corn silage and barley silage and making up to 9,000 pounds of TDN per acre at a cost of around $1.95 per hundred pounds as fed. Lime Early for Healthy Root Develop. Lime is essential to root development. Healthy and well developed roots will make strong plants which will boost yeilds for years to come. Most crops respond favorably to liming. Alfalfa, sweet clover and other crops do best in soils that have a pH that is neutral--7.0--or approaching this figure. The first step todetermining how much of this life-giving and yield-increasing material to apply is to have the soil tested, "this can be Bone by the County Agent, the College of Agriculture or by a private firm. While soil tests are not infallible, they are the best indicator of your soil’s needs. Be sure to start with representative soil samples. Otherwise, the results may be disappointing and no better than if the material is applied without any guidance. The important thing to remember is that the lime should be applied early--for best results, from six months to a year preceding the seeding of legumes. If it is spread on land which will be planted to row crops for a season, the land preparation and cultivation throughout the season will assure a thorough mixing of the lime with the soil. Lime alone will not do the job. Fertilizer (N-P-K) and several minor elements incorporated into it or released by the soil as a result of the liming are essential to maximum yields. But lime is the first step. Do it well in advance of planting the crop which requires the most nearly neutral soil. READ THE WANT ADS! FIX ]TT FAST.’WIMAIBi OT LAST!
