Certify Crop Acreages Early, ASC Advises With signup in the wheat and, feed grain programs over, and planting about to begin, farmers in Rappahannock County should apply for measurement service at the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office. This reminder came today from H,S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Rappahannock County ASC Committee, who said measurement service often saves farmers money. “If a farmer plants before measurement, he may plant too much and be out not only the cost of planting, but may also be out the cost of plowing up the crop. If he plants less than his allowed acreage, he may lose money by not having as much production as he is entitled to.” Measurement service is offered by the County ASCS Office to farm program participants as a sure way to know they are in compliance with acreage requirements of farm programs. When a farmer participates in the wheat or feed grain program, he certifies to the precise acreage he has in these crops. The farmer must also be certain he has enough additional acres in conserving use to meet his conserving base requirement. Errors in certification can result in reduction or loss of payments. Mr. Barksdale describes certification as a “do-it-yourself’ system by which farmers report their crop and program acres to the County ASCS Office. The Chairman cautioned that farm acreages must be certified before the crop disposition date, that is, the final date after which the crop may not be plowed under for compliance. Early certification will help speed up program payments. Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin announced earlier this year that final payments to farm program participants in 1970 will be made as soon as possible after July 1. Payments are expected to be completed as much as two months earlier than in previous yean. Actor Melvyn Douglas and Lt. Col. E. A.

It has become so popular that many adults are taking note and trying their hand at it. It tends to lend toward being creative. The basic idea in tie-and-dye is to tie off sections of fabric, then dip the fabric in dye. The tie-off sections are prevented from absorbing the dye, therefore forming an uncolored pattern on a dyed background. Any fabric other than glass fibers, some polyesters and acrylics will take dye. For striking results we recommend satin acetate, velveteen and silk. Fabric can be white or a pastel. However, after trial you may wish to try effects over brightly colored fabrics. First, prepare the idye. Mix V* cup liquid dye or Vi package (about 1 1/3 tablespoons) powder dye for about every quart of hot water. Dissolve and strain powder lye according to package directions. For dark colors, double this concentration. Have nore than enough dye solution to completely immerse fabric; Keep dye solution simmering for best results; if not possible, use hottest tap water available. Then tie fabric. Crumple fabric tiands into a long strip. Keep ‘right” side of fabric to-outside when crumpling or gathering fabric. Secure at intervals or randomly with several thickness >f tightly wound string or rubber sands. You may tie marbles or tiny buttons into fabric, winding securely. For a shadowy effect, tie knots in fabric itself., this method works best on light weight materials as it is difficult to remove knots from heavy materials. Now you are ready to tie the fabric. Wet the fabric first, then immerse into hot dye solution for 10 to 15 minutes or until desired shade is teached.

SECTION 5. If any Section or part of this Ordinance should, for any reason, be held invalid by a Court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not effect the remainder of the Ordinance, and each and every remaining Section or part thereof shall continue in full force and effect. The foregoing Proposed Ordinance was duly passed * at the Regular Meeting of the Rappahannock County | Board Of 'Supervisors held on April 8, 1970. The Clerk was directed to advertise Public Hearing on the above ( Ordinance which is proposed for passage at the Regular . Meeting to be held on May 1, 1970. \ E. M. JONES, Clerk Rappahannock j County Board of Supervisors J The Seniors of R.C.H.S. are practicing nightly for the annual senior play scheduled for presentation Thursday and Friday, May 7 and 8 at the school. The three-act comedy is “Pillow Talk” and is directed by Miss Morgan and Mr. Mallory. In the picture are Amy Palmer on the shoulder of Floyd Grigsby. Others are Terry Russell, Susan Dodson, Teresa Cordani and Linda Jenkins. I I constantly. Materials will appear darker when wet. When dry, colors will be brighter. Squeeze excess dye from fabric. Rinse under running water, then remove string, rubber bands or knots. Rinse again until water rinse clear, then let drip dry. Iron while slightly damp. Tie-dyed fabric is sensational for wall hangings, curtains, pillow covers, table covers, material for clothes, scarves, bed spreads. Hed-dyed items can be laundered separately in cold water.

Stanley The “dropout” presents a particular problem for our multi-faceted society which is becoming more technical and mechanized with each passing year. According to legislation passed by the 1968 Virginia General Assembly, a child must attend public schools until he reaches seventeen years of age. Yet many children, even if forced to remain in a classroom until a certain age, become “mental dropouts” many years before they remove their bodies from the school. According to Rosemary Wilson, supervisor of English for the Public Schools in Washington, D. C., “The potential dropout enters kindergarten in a state of verbal impoverishment. He has not learned to listen and he often cannot verbalize his thoughts to the teacher. This lack of communication in turn affects his reading achievement.” Dr. Melton Wright, Superintendent p£ Public Schq<^s ir Frederick <«Ointy indicated that, “Research* shows that early childhood education programs can raise the intelligence level and the potential for success of pre-school children.” Yet few school ^divisions in Virginia support a kindergarten program. In a recent Virginia Education Association Conference on. the dropout, Dr. Daniel Schreiber, Associate Superintendent ol Schools in New York, said that, “the dropout tends to have a poor attendance record. His attendance starts to fall down as early as grade 7. Usually his oldei brothers and sisters were dropouts • so too were his parents. He does not read up tc grade level. Studies show that not more than one-third of the dropouts are discipline problems Yet he usually feels alienated, anci increases that by self-alienating himself from the school and environment.” During the same conference Elmer Tarrall, Assistant Superintendent of Schools ir Virginia Beach, expressed the view that other reasons for th« school-dropout included consistent failure to achieve ir regular school work, overt antagonism to teachers and tht principal, a marked disinterest ir school subjects coupled with t feeling of not belonging, a narrow curriculum and in some instance! coming from an unhappy famil) situation. Educators are divided concerning the root causes foi dropouts. In i book that Dar Schreiber recently edited, callec “A Profile of the Schoo Dropout”, the view is expresser NOTICE BUILDING PERMITS No building or structure which costs five-, hundred dollars ($500.00) or more shall bo located, constructed, reconstructed, altered, or enlarged without first having obtained a Building Permit from the Zoning Administrator. The office of the Zoning Administrator is located in the Rappahannock County Courthouse, Washington, Va. and u open each Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. aaKurcsr vs* Mary had a little lamb; she took it to the ahow. Maty Lib Snead entered the Glenwood Park 4-H stock ahow held Saturday at Middleburg and didn’t do badly for a beginner. This was her first time out with her lambs and she placed second in fitting and showmanship in a stiff field of competition. She also rated setond in pair of lambs and in light weight market lambs. In heavy weight market lambs, she placed third. She is the daughter of Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead of Fairies Farm, Washington. that, “it’s not really the youngsters’ fault that they’re potential dropouts.” First, he says that rules in school are questionable. Yet very few people look at these rules to see what they demand of the youngsters in the way of conformity. He also raises the point that many times these rules are enforced differently for so-called alienated potential dropouts. Another point, he says, which characterized these youths in school is their feeling that they have no voice at all in their destiny. Another thing is the meaningless material and I ^v-wvwwxvwx.wwv vxv curricula that these youths are often asked to absorb. It is interesting to note that public schools in Rochester have initiated a program which attempts to remove the “causes” of school dropouts. Everything the teacher does is an attempt to build the child’s “self-image”. The second thing is that teachers work for early success in the language arte since reading disability is often mentioned as one cause for dropouts. A third accent is on working with parents to design a better, more relevant, program for their child. Other things emphasized in the program include “cultural ‘enrichment” < V V WX.-V VWWX.

Public schools throughout Virginia might .be wise to follow ths example of the Rochester Public Schools If the dropout problem h to be solved. Another "emphasis which should be considered by localities to keep children in schools, would be the addition ol vocational facilities.

No dilly dallying or gradual transition, just presto and she was here. All signs are go for com planting. Dogwoods and apple blossoms are in full bloom. In the valley the white oak ieaves are as big as a squirrel’s ear. The tulip poplars nave shot Angers of green up the mountain draws and the first Whip-poor-will woke me up about 4 a.m. last Sunday. Every days delay in corn planting after May 10th will knock off a few bushels in yield during a normal season. Sock it just as soon as the ground is dry enough and irregardleas of what some equipment dealers say gear the planter down slow. High planter speed, improper plates and planting too deep are the three main causes of skips and poor corn stands. Right now is also the time to spray for thistle control. Remember how thick they were last summer in some pastures? Everyone notices them when they are three or four feet high and in ffooaa(xx%%x%%%x%«3e%%%%% full bloom, but the Hum to spray Is when the thistles are In the rosette stags and spread out low in ths pasture field. Check with us for spray recommendations or better still give me a ring and I will be glad to go over your pasture fields with you and help you decide which method Is the most practical In controlling thistle on your land.

Turn Acreage To Tree Production BLACKSBURG-Even though ;ree planting has become the nost widely-known woodlands nanagement practice in Virginia, there are still thousands of acres which could be profitably turned to the production of trees. “There is no better way to get some of those acres started in trees than to plant trees, as opposed to planting tree seeds,’’ said C. E. Gill, extension specialist in forest management at Virginia Tech. “And, there is no better way to get them into profitable timber production than to thin the tree stand when it needs it. While all the planting has gone on, many Virginia timber stands have been neglected as far as thinning is concerned,” he added. Now is the time to thin oul those neglected stands, both ir pine plantations and young hardwood stands. There is rea cash value for so doing. Thinning makes room and promotes growth on the better trees whili speeding maturity. Bigger and better quality log: come out of stands properh thinned at the proper time. And being less expensive to log am mill, they bring higher prices. Most important, thinning th woodlot brings an immediate casl return from the sale of pulpwood. Gill noted two types of thinning a woodlot. Precommercial thinning, where large numbers of trees are cut too small to be saleable, is not ANSWERS 1. Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian. 2.

When I started writing this column, it was my purpose to deal only in matters pertaining to the spiritual. I’ve tried to avoid politics and controversial conflicts.

I don’t think it necessary to use my surname when I am spoken to. In fact, some people seem to pronounce both as one word. I’ll admit there are a lot of things I don’t know. I just learned recommended. Commercial thinning, recommended as good forest management, waits until the discarded trees have grown enough to interest pulpwood buyers and others whose equipment can handle small logs. Both planting and thinning are needed and provide opportunities for better management. “And, better management of our timber stands is necessary if Virginia is to retain and attract those numbers of yood'using industries which are now so important to the state’s economic life,” concluded Gill.
