23219 V F v n * Hearing set Higher dog tag fees proposed ' “ mMiwMarg.*■ • • . . m&'VM ■ m&BK&2n .. .you ve got to make up your minds what we’re going to raise in the county, dogs or livestock.” RAPPAHANNOCK’S Board of Supervisors voted last Thursday to hold hearings on a proposal to raise dog tag fees to $3 for males, $3 for unsexed females, $5 for females — with some strong misgivings by some members, notably Herbert Foster, that the proposal will “fill the court house.” Under the motion of H. B. Wood Jr., German shepherds would be taxed “as ordinary dogs,” thus eliminating the existing penalty of $10 for female German Shepherds. Kennel fees would be doubled, to $30 for up to 20 dogs, and $50 for up to 50 dogs. The motion to set the hearing came after a discussion of the dog fund problem that consumed one hour and 15 minutes, and involved spectators in the audience as well as members of the Board. For something so involved, the best place to begin is in the beginning, and last Thursday it started with an innocent report by Dog Warden Jack Bruce that he had no claims. It was just as well, since the dog fund has been deplet ed since July, with not even enough funds to pay the warden’s salary. CHAIRMAN Newbill Miller asked the Board what should be done about the dog fund. Tag payments won’t be due until November, and how will the warden be paid in the meantime Miller wanted to know. Last month, the Board voted to transfer sufficient funds from the general treasury to pay the warden’s salary, a procedure that Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis (who was not present at that meeting) now thinks may have been illegal. Davis read extensively from state statutes about dogs in an attempt to guide the Supervisors last Thursday. Among other things, he found that laws amended as of 1970 seemed to have made Rappahannock’s higher fee for female German Shepherds unlawful; only a maximum of $5 per dog can be charged. “If you raised the dog tag here to $5 per dog it would raise a revolution,” Davis commented. “Everytime you turn a(See page 10) Substantial improvements are being made to secondary Route 611 at Amissville. The intersection of that road with Route 211 is being relocated and the road is being widened. Included in the secondary road budget for 1972-73 is the hard surfacing of a portion of this road. Latham doesntmind Four Supervisors criticize county road budget A ROAD budget that seems to favor the Amissville area came in for heavy criticism at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. From everyone except Supervisor J. R. Latham of Amissville, that is. He refrained from the otherwise general denunciation of a schedule of expenditures drawn up by Resident Highway Engineer James R. Skeens. . “I don’t look to the Magisterial Districts, but to die needs of the entire county,” Skeens seid. He, agreed that the Amissville area has received a great percentage of road work in recent years, “butthat’s because of subdivision work in that area. . “I just don’t think it’s fair to the people in the rest of the county,” commented Chairman Newbill Miller. “And this has nothing to do with pork barrel — it’s just inequitable.” Again, Skeens disagreed. “I’ve tried to reflect the needs of the county and to get the most for our money.” He said he knew there were places like Chester’s Gap. /v^hich . needed work done, but “I am only able to select two, three or four small improvements projects each year.” THE DISCUSSION developed when Skeens appeared to request a more or less routine resolution by the Supervisors for the $418,000 secondary road budget in Rappahannock. The total, he noted, was some $80,000 higher than the previous year, because of a two-cent per gallon increase in the state gasoline tax. Skeens also reported that road damage from thehea- • vy rains of Hurricane Agnes had set his forces back in routine maintenance work, but that things are being put back In shape. “There was a tremendous loss of stone that is hard to assess,” he said, “from heavy, hard rains that simply washed it off the roads. We’ve been hauling stone daily since the middle of August. . Some of the costs of this work said Skeens, “hopefully, will be reimbursed by the federal government.” He then went on to summarize the budget. “OUR BIG projects are on Route 611 from 211 to 648, where we will grade and surface. Route 645 will also be hard-surfaced from 637 to the county line. We’ll replace two bridges. . .” Miller and others raised their voices with questions about priorities. What about Route 622 to the ski area, which is getting to be traveled heavily yearround, Miller wanted to know. Skeens said he planned to do some work to improve the bridges on that road.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 W orthy effort WHAT IS A Rappahannock Women’s Club? Not many people know but should. It’s not a social club as you might think, but a civic club geared to work in helping our county in areas that need support. In 1969 the Club first met with approximately 15 members. Five members carried the Club until October 1970 when a tea was held to encourage other women in the county to join the Club. The tea contributed approximately 15 new members. The Rappahannock County Women’s Club has been striving for new members because they feel quantity helps quality, which means more members, more help for our county. Activities during the past years have included donating to our high school athletic program, awarding scholarships to each Scout troop in the county annually, donating money to the Mental Health Clinic, donating time toward the Virginia State Department of Health Immunization Clinic, and the Blood Mobile, sending cookies to the Rec Cross for their Christmas Program, and participating in the annual House Tour and local parades. The Club wants the county to benefit more from their efforts, but until now has not been able to because of financial backing. They have been working to earn a fundamental cash balance to support the Club by holding bake sales, selling placemats, note cards, stationery, calendars and other miscellaneous items for the past years. The Club now is at the point where the cash balance can support the Club. The Club now wants tc put it’s efforts into the county with full force. On September 23, at 2 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School, the Rappahannock Women’s Club will sponsor a Harvest Festival Fashion Show with profits going toward the playgrounc equipment for the school. Southern Departmeni Store will present the show. Tickets are available from club members and at the door. Hel{ them help the county by supporting the Fashior Show. □ RLEP meets Friday EVERYONE IS INVITED, whether members or not, to the annual meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection to be held Friday, September 15, at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock County courthouse. “All who are interested in preserving the environment of our beautiful area will find people of like interest in the League,” said Philip Irwin, R.L.E.P. president, “and this meeting being the only regular full membership meeting of the year would be the opportunity to meet them.” Peter Borelli, Eastern Representative of the Sierra Club and Dr. V. E. McKelvey, director of the U.S. Geological Survey, will be the featured speakers. Committee reports and election of officers will complete the meeting.' □ Barns The barn pictured in last week’s contest was on the farm of Miss Annie Cooksey where Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

PANTHER TALES by Susan Latham If you see some of the RCHS girls strolling around the halls or elsewhere with a book on their head instead of in their hands, you will know they have been selected to model in the upcoming fashion show sponsored by the Rappahannock Women’s Club. The book balancing act is supposed to help attain poise for promanading. The Fashion Show is scheduled for Saturday, Sep1 tember 23 at the local elementary school and proceeds will go toward play, ground equipment for it. Finally! Can you believe it? SCAT tests are over for the year and only a couple of us put dots in the wrong places and on the wrong papers. Several meetings were held during the week including the SCA officers who met Monday to suggest possible candidates for the position of president. An election will be held next week for that Dost only. Varsity cheerleaders met Tuesday to discuss types, of uniforms available for the year and to make a decision. This will have to be approved by the principal, Mr. Wingfield and then the go light for acquiring the outfits. The N.H.S. met Wednesday and among items on the agenda was a discussion of the use of money which the group made on book sales. Since students seem to have a problem staying af ter school for participation in a photography club, the members have agreed to hold the meetings at night. Tonight, September 14, is the date of the next meeting which begins at 7 p.m. at the high school. No equipment is necessary to join the group. The purpose of the organization is to teach students how to use a camera and how to develop pictures. Anyone interested is invited to come. Girls basketball is proving an interesting sport this year and the girls hope they will receive the support of all. Their first game is set for Monday, September 18 in Luray High School at 7:30. Let’s back them up this first game. The team consists of Margaret Jett who has long arms; Faye Dunn with long legs; Sharon Foster, who has also been a track fan; Cheryl Poling, Betty Compton, Mollie Dennis, Debbie Hudson, Peggy Scroggins, Judi Burke, Marian Skowronski, Carolyn Woodward, Cil Davis, Robin Estes, Lisa Day, also a track enthusiast, and Rosa Jordan, who especially invites spectators to support the team.

Clay Parrish of Springfield, whose parents also own property near Viewtown in Rappahannock, and a friend, Neil Sawyer, put their rafts in the river at the new bridge on the Rappahannock - Fauquier line Sunday morning. They had equipment and food for the day and were to be met by Mrs. Parrish at the Waterloo Bridge that afternoon. They did not arrive, however, at the appointed time. The young men had not realized how low the water was down stream due to the dry weather and in many places the river was not navigable and the banks were overgrown. After dusk fell the two boys tried to scratch up enough leaves to make a bed and shield themselves from the cool night air, but leaves were scarce. They were not familiar with the area and could not find their way to any inhabited place. The Amissville Rescue Squad was alerted and took a position on each bridge on the river with loud sp eakers in an attempt to make contact with the lost youths. Failing to get a reply, a posse of men started in an Waterloo and walk: ed upstream until they found the boys huddled together for warmth in a field. Needless to say, according to Bobby Carter, rescue squad caDtain, “the boys were mighty glad to see us.” □ Women’s Club Fashion Show is September 23 SEPTEMBER 23 IS THE DAY that the Rappahannock County Women’s Club, in conjunction with the Southern Department Store of Warrenton, will sponsor a Fall Festival Fashion Show at 2 p.m. at the Elementary School.

'Resource person’ joins Extension force y*o.. P A NEW Extension Ser* vice “resource person” in Fauquier County is Howard Handorf , who has been on the job in Warrenton only a relatively short time but who is already deeply immersed in the problems and opportunities of the county and the region. Handorf’s official title places him in charge of “community resource development,” and he’s the first to point out the broadness — “somewhat nebulous” is another way of putting it — program that he heads. “It means working with everybody from clubs to units of government,” he says , “on every type of activity from community beautification programs to recreation, tourism and business expansion.” A major challenge of Handorf’s also involves the State of Virginia’s Regional Planning Districts. Fauquier, for instance, is now officially a member of District Nine, which includes Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, plus the Towns of Warrenton and Culpeper. Before this, Fauquier was grouped with District Eight, which embraces northern Virginia com. munities and the counties of Loudoun and Fairfax. “THERE HAVE been some fears that these Regional Districts might take away some of the prerogatives of local government,” Handorf notes. “But at the same time, as I see it, they do give us an opportunity for one man to go to Washington or Richmond and talk for a larger population — of up to 75,000, 78,000 people. “This is important since more and more state and federal grants are being approved on a regional basis, for everything from regional sewage treatment plants, to development of water resources, to law s enforcement communications networks. And these grants mean 75 per cent of the needed funds, or more.” Handorf feels regional planning districts will become increasingly important. “It is not quite required now for federal fundings, but in my mind this will be * definitely required sdon for any federal grants.” As far as planning controls are concerned, Fauquier is “fairly well off because of its comprehensive plan, zoning ordinances, &c.,” Handorf believes. The county is “far more sophisticated” in this respect that the other jurisdictions in Region Eight. One reason, he thinks, “is that Fauquier has been looking to the north for guidance — to Fairfax and other areas like that — while the other counties have been looking to the south.” ONE OF THE results of this “looking to the north” is Fauquier’s current interest in Loudoun County’s “Article 12,” the provision of that county’s zoning ordinance which requires new developers to pay for the capital cost items their developments create. Following Fauquier’s example in this respect, Handorf says, are Stafford, Prince Edward and Culpeper counties. Culpeper is particularly interested, since it is currently faced with such problems as a proposed 300unit “planned community.” Other region-wide problems include what to do with mobile homes, Handorf went on. He and Richard McNear, Fauquier’s Planning Engineer, recently attended in Fredericksburg a “Mobile Homes Seminar” co-chaired by Rosser Payne, the planning consultant from Warrenton, and Marvin Parr of Chesapeake, executive director of Virginia Manufactured Housing Associates, Inc. “Mobile homes have been changing in construction standards to the point where they’re getting a little bit closer to nationwide housing standards,” Handorf says. “They are approaching the point where their useful life may reach the 20-30 year time period.” “WE’VE GOT to deal with this situation since statistics show that 95 per cent of the single family homes Fall Fabrics Arriving Daily "i Polyester Blends Taffeta Scissors and Pinking Shears Sharpened BankAmericarq welcome “THE HOME OF BETTER FABRICS” 142 N.

Youth charged A young man who gave his address as Sperryville was arrested early Saturday morning for the possession of controlled drugs. The man, George Pierce Pipkin, was found with marijuana in his possession by Trooper Dean Irvine. The officer had been investigating a traffic crash on Route 211 near Washington when Pipkin hurried through the scene. He was released on a $500 bond and a hearing is set for October 20 in Rappahannock County Court at 2 p.m. □ depreciation rates, for taxation purposes.” Handorf said one dealer reported at the Fredericksburg meeting that trade-in units are now being accepted of up to $200 of the purchase price six years previously. “That fact alone makes present tax methods unrealistic,” Handorff noted. Handorf . is interested in the mobile home, modular home industry because another part of his job will entail working with welfare departments in studying housing needs, and in helping to solve problems in this field. AN INTERESTING innovation in this activity, he said, is in Orange County, where “shacks” are being razed one or two units at a time, and being replaced by three and four bedroom units, with a basement, at a cost of $16,000 each. He thinks this price would be higher in Fauquier, but he still thinks the Orange experience may have some local applications. HANDORF IS a native Howard Handorf of New York state, but grew up in Michigan and graduated from Michigan University in 1958. He obtained a masters degree in forestry from the state school in 1967, and worked for six years with the Virginia Division of Forestry in Prince Edward County. Before assuming his present position, he spent five years with the Michigan Extension Service, in the Upper Peninsula section of the state. He lives in Warrenton with his wife and th,'je young children. □ 1 Clore Funeral Home The Home of Thoufhtful Service” ^Culpeper, Va.

McGovern backers hold organizational meeting AUBREY H. KEYSER, Rappahannock County farmer, was elected general chairman of the McGovern campaign committee for the county at an organizational meeting Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Harris at Huntly. The gathering of Democratic supporters was called by Harris as local coordinator for the McGovern - Shriver campaign, which is being directed on a statewide basis by the Democratic State Committee headed by Joseph Fitzpatrick of Richmond. At the Sunday gathering, in addition to Keyser as general campaign chairman, the group named Edward H. Bailey, Washington contractor, as treasurer, and Mrs. Patricia Plotnick of Amissville as secretary. George Graham, a teacher at Rappahannock , KEYSER IS a member of the County Democratic Committee, as is Bailey. That committee, headed by Carson Johnson of Sperryville, has not yet initiated campaign work in behalf of the McGovern-Shri ver ticket, so far as is known, but speakers at the Sunday meeting expressed the strong hope that it would soon do so. Members of hew campaign committee also said they’d agree to merge efforts with the Democratic County Committee “in one strong united effort to help elect all Democratic candidates.” “It is no secret that the membership of the County Democratic Committee is split over the current political picture,” sand Harris, “and it is not presently known whether it will conduct an active county campaign for the Democratic ticket.” Johnson said he may call a meeting soon to determine the wishes of the committee. There are five committee members from each 'of the five Rappahannock Magisterial Districts. IT WAS stressed at the Sunday gathering that “there is little time for Democrats to lose in getting all eligible voters registered in the county, with the deadline October 7.” Mrs. Mary Cleverley, county registrar, it was pointed out, will be in her office at the courthouse each Thursday until October 7 taking registrations. As McGovern - Shriver coordinator, Harris told the meeting “there is a very strong Democratic electorate in Rappahannock County,” noting that in the 1968 presidential sweepstakes Hubert Humphrey won over Richard Nixon by a vote of 597 to 594. Among the issues Harris urged the committee members to stress in their local campaign efforts were: the continuing price spiral “Nixon’s failure to keep his 1968 pledge to end the war”; substantial unemployment; “the failure of the President’s wage and price control program”; the “just right tractor r\ 11 FORPiS?—* «*b«k >a*£25ai'*mm“ PLUS THESE BETTER IDEA FEATURES: • MORE PULLING POWER AT LOWER ENGINE SPEEDS • DUAL RANGE 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION • LOW SILHOUETTE TO GET UNDER TREES • MATCH LOAD AND TRAVEL SPEED TO ENGINE SPEED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS • SAVE TIME AND MONEY • HANDLE MORE ACRES PER DAY-PLOWING OR TILLING__ Wayland ford tractor sales 29-211 BY PASS Worrenton the existence of one of the most bloated deficits in the nation’s history and a mumpiitiiy ui ouc^cu scandals involving the present administration.” □ Deer killed A motorist struck and killed a deer at 6 a.m. yesterday morning on Route 642 a mile and a half south of Amissville.

A LADY made the remark yesterday that she “just loved September” and asked if I shared her sentiments in that regard. I told her that according to the September Song “days grow short when you reach September,” that aside from that I thought it a lovely month. September brings us the autumnal equinox and the end of summer; my favorite season of the year. Even so, September is a beautiful time of the year. I didn’t know I had so many beautiful sisters, a few mothers perhaps, but they are getting scarce. Our pastor gave us another good sermon Sunday. Why don’t more of you come out to hear him? It would be worth your while. Did you know that Billy Graham is getting to be quite a comic? Pulpit technique? And he advocates the use of a taboo three-letter word under proper conditions; the act itself, if within the laws of God and man. Well, well. How many of us find “common daylight sweet”? We criticize the weatherman if the weather is bad, but we just take good weather for granted. To me all weather is good; it is a part of living, and life is good. It is said that “adversity tries the soul.” There will continue to be good and so-called bad things to try the soul, let us think of them as less-good and thank God that He permits us to continue on this plane. It will not be forever. THEN WHAT?

Dog tax increase hearing scheduled From page 1 round there’s more taxes put on people,” agreed Herbert Foster. But, at the same time, Davis also noted that ‘‘the cost of livestock has gone up, and you’ve got to make up your minds what we’re going to raise in the county, dogs or livestock. I know people get emotionally involved about anything concerning dogs, but ...” “LIVESTOCK is up now,” agreed Foster, “but a few years ago hogs went down to 16 cents and lands were down, too.” “Yes, but when the present $1 tag was passed, pigs were seven cents and lamb was ten cents a pound,” observed Davis. “I don’t know what dogs are selling for.” “I think we ought to discontinue the dog warden until the first of the year and save the county $800,” said Foster. “If we have a claim, let the Supervisor of the district involved check the claim, free of charge, and just pay him for any mileage involved.” Mrs. Betty Coates protested that she, for one, doesn’t feel qualified to judge whether a sheep has been slain by a dog or by a bear — “Not unless I actually see the bear or the dog on it.” “There won’t be much in the next four months to amount up to $800 of the taxpayers’ money,” Foster said. “Then it seems to me we’ll have to decide what to charge so we can get enough money for the dog fund,” said Supervisor Wood. “YOU MIGHT miss a year’s revenue if you wait too long,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis warned. “The tax goes on in November; you’ve got to decide at your October meeting what you’re going to do, and advertise it for the next meeting.” Chairman Miller asked whether the Dog Warden is hired from month to month, or from year to year. Davis, reading from the statutes, said the contract runs for a minimum of one year. Concluded Miller: “If we don’t pay claims now, and unless we raise the dog tax or discontinue it. there’ll just be a continuous backlog every year. We’ll never catch up.” “Aren’t some counties doing away with the dog fund?” asked Supervisor J. R. Latham. Miller said he thought some were, but he wasn’t sure. Davis suggested that there might be state funds available for paying dog claims, but this point was not pressed when Clerk Jones disagreed. Everybody sat around the table for a long moment of silence. What to do? “I think we’ll have to double our income to put the dog fund on a pay-asyou-go basis,” said Miller. Davis agreed, adding that ‘‘the general fund sure can’t carry it.” “WE PAID the warden last month out of the general fund,” noted Herbert Foster. “It wasn’t legal,” replied Davis. Everybody blanched. “Are you sure?” asked Miller. “Well, I’m not absolutely positive,” said Davis, and he started reading the statutes again. Read Davis: “If you have a contract, and it’s to be paid out of a special fund. .. .The State Statute says the salary shall be paid out of the dog fund.. .The county shall pay.. .from such special funds and have no authority to supplement..” Supervisor Wood and Miller toyed with the possibility of simply abolishing the dog fund altogether. “I don’t know why you’d do that,” said Davis. “If we’re going to continue to police dogs, we’re going to have to raise the fee,” Supervisor Latham said finally. The proposal stirred another round of discussion, marked by Davis reading from the sta1 Time to go, . . BACK TO SCHOOL t all now for your STUDENT SCHOOL SUBSCRIPTION 92.50 for the School Term. Mail anywhere in the 1I&A. i--1 I Name-I I School Address - | } State--Zip- I j Date to begin subscription- j I_____I tutes again. Mrs. Coates came out emphatically against doing iway with the warden altogether. “You wouldn’t have anyone to investigate yy “...And in the meantime, wild dogs would continue to run loose and multiply and run you over,” said Davis, finishing her sentence. THEN BEGAN a discussion of specific fees, with the different price charges for male and female dogs noted. Commenting on the need for more revenue, Mrs. Coates said, “We’d better pray we’ve got more female dogs.” “Maybe we’d better start a Lib movement for female dogs,” grinned Davis, going on to describe how a stray “somebody threw out” had a litter of seven dogs, “under my front porch.” The discussion wandered again. “There’s more dog food sold in the country than baby food,” said Davis. “Maybe we could put a tax on dog food,” said Wood. “Maybe we could start cat tags,” said Mrs. Coates. If something isn’t done, both Wood and Foster agreed, “it’ll just be open season on every dog that comes on a man’s property. . .if you do away with the dog warden.” “A man who keeps sheep will try to kill dogs, anyway,” Foster thought. Miller foresaw a situation developing in Rappahannock where the county would wind up with “a shotgun and shovel policy.” THERE WAS more discussion about the finances o f the dog fund, with general agreement that the existing higher fees for German shepherds are probably illegal under amended state law. Mrs. Eileen Days and Col. E. R. Luke offered some documents from the audience, along with C. J. Miller. Then the Board started zeroing in on specific fees that might be charged in an attempt to make the dog fund self-supporting. “Suppose we charge $5 flat for every dog,” George Davis said. “George! For goodness sake!” Herbert Foster exclaimed. “You want this court house filled up for the next meeting?” “Yes!” said Mrs. Coates and Newbill Miller, in one voice. “I don’t own any dogs myself, but I don’t think you ought to raise the fee for males and females the same,” said C. J. Miller from the back of the room. “I would kick on paying $5 for an ordinary dog, and let a female get by for the same thing.” COL. LUKE suggested tnat me noaru nugm <-u«- 4 sider the practice of insurance companies, and only pay a percentage of claims made. “That might reduce the amount required in the dog fund,” he said. “We pay fair market value,” said Newbill Miller. “Maybe you might pay just 75 per cent, or 50 per cent,” said Luke. “They pay taxes on the full assessment,” noted Herbert Foster. Wood turned to Dog Warden Bruce: “Jack, would you be willing to take a vacation to the first of the year.” “I’d have to consider that,” said Bruce. “But I think I’m the lowest paid warden in the area, anyway. In Culpeper, they just raised the salary $100 a mongh, starting July 1, and they have 100 kennel tags over there. “I can’t starve; I can’t hibernate until the first of the year.” “But we can’t pay you, anyway,” said Wood. “It wouldn’t be any use to work if you couldn’t get any money for it, would it?” “It’d be the biggest mess anyone has seen if everything is discontinued. You’ll see the court house full of people then,” replied the Dog Warden. “I think the five of us are liable for the money we paid you last month,” commented Newbill Miller. “THIS DOG thing is going to take up all our time and I’ve got some silage to get in,” said Herbert Foster. “Then I move we make the tags $3 to $5,” said Wood. Davis and Clerk Jones retreated to Judge Rayner Snead’s office to persue the law books there; the Supervisors sat and waited and chatted further about the problem. “Sometimes things that appear unimportant seem to take most of our time, like dumps and dogs,” said Miller. Wood refined his motion to $3, $3 and $5, with no differential for German shepherds, and for doubling the kennel fees. He moved that this proposal be advertised and set for a hearing at the October meeting. All voted yes, except Foster, who asked Warden Bruce to bring back some figures “on how many dogs there are and how much money this would bring in — then we’ll know whether we can adjust downwards or what.” Bruce said he would. It was 11:15 by that time, and the Supervisors moved on to other county business. □

Now is the time to plant spring flowering bulbs This is another in a series on home horticulture by Wesley P. Judkins, Virginia Tech Extension horticulturist. WOULD YOU like to plant some flowers that are practically guaranteed to bloom? There are many which are very dependable, but spring-flowering bulbs probably lead the list. You can plant them this fall and be sure to have fine blooms next spring. Before we discuss some of the interesting new daffodils and tulips, let’s consider the planting operation. All spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in well-drained soil. They need a good moisture supply during the growing season, but they will rot if the ground stays wet for long periods. Are you all confused about the depth of planting? You need not be. Remember this one rule. In good, loamy, well-drained soil, plant your bulbs with the base at a depth below the surface equal to three times the largest diameter of the bulb. This is the lateral diameter we are concerned with, not the height of the bulb. In lighter sandy soils, plant your bulbs a little deeper, in heavier soils not so deep. PLANT YOUR fall bulbs as soon as they are secured from your garden center or dealer. If necessary, however, they may be stored for several weeks in a dry place. Be sure they are not in a damp basement where they may rot. Plant as early as possible in the fall to allow the bulbs to develop a good root system before the ground freezes. The planting should be completed not later than two or three weeks after the average first fall frost date in your area. Do not use fertilizer in the hole or furrow when the hole or furrow when planting bulbs. It will burn the young roots. To promote vigorous growth, mix four pounds of 5-10-5 fertilizer with the soil in each 100 square feet of bed, or two pounds with each 25 feet of row. Be sure to mix this thoroughly with the soil. After planting apply half the above amount on top of the ground and rake it into the surface soil. Buy only high quality bulbs from a reliable source. Cheap bulbs may be of poor quality and inferior varieties. Small bulbs produce small blooms. High quality U.S. bulbs are just as good as those from foreign sources. Daffodils are probably the most useful and dependable of spring flowering bulbs. Varieties are available which range in height from about four to 20 inches. Some of the dwarf daffodils may be used like crocus, in shrub or border planting. The taller varieties may be used for mass display in beds, naturalizing or for cut flowers in the home. EVERYONE SEEMS to grow the large trumpettype daffodil which is certainly worthy of its popularity. But add variety to your collection by planting some of the fragrant cluster-flowered Tazetta types. They will bring the smell of spring freshness into your home when they are used in arrangements. Have you seen the new pink daffodils? During recent years some plant breeders have worked frantically to develop varieties with a bright pink trumpet or cup. Some of these new varieties are very attractive. Do not neglect tulips in your fall planting. Here again, plant breeders have done a terrific job. Superb new colors are available, as well as dwarf and tall varieties for all types of gardens. You will need to get a catalog from your , favorite dealer to determine those which are best for your particular garden. Do consider some of the new dwarf and medium - sized tulips. They are long lasting in the garden and less subject to wind damage than the tall species. Also, plant a few of the cluster-flowered varieties. These May-flowering tulips are relatively new and quite different from those which have only one flower per stem. □ We Can Supply All Your "building" NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

But the hot days and nights of mid summer, combined with ample rain and top production practices are going to produce some record yields around the county. Last week silo filling swung into full gear and almost without, exception farmers are doing an excellent job of harvesting. Of course, the big 3’s of harvesting silage for maximum feed value and minimum spoilage are: 1) harvesting as much of the crop as possible during the hard dough stage. 2) getting a fine chop, 3) keeping a piece of equipment running on top of trench silo to secure a good pack. These three steps will do more to assure high quality feed this winter than all the silo preservatives and trench silo covers combined. ONE WORD of caution. A recent study showed that more serious farm accidents occurred during the fall harVest season than any other time of the year. And the number one prospect is the experienced operator who gets in too big a hurry to shut off equipment before unclogging or making minor repairs. Farmers are becoming a rare species to look after yourselves and the men working for you. Here is a brief run down on the small grain varieties recommended for 1972: Winter Oats - Norline, Compat and Lee. Barley Varieties: — Rapidan, Barsoy, Jefferson, Harrison, Pennrod and Wong. Wheat Varieties: — Blueboy, Arthur, Redcoat and Coker 68-15. If you are interested in securing further details on these varieties, come by the Extension Office. □ Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Patrick at Abbs Valley. Rev.

Road budget criticized /1?«A(n naoo 1\ Their exchange over how the money is spent followed. Things got a little tightlipped, especially when Skeens explained that the Route 645 work was necessary because “traffic is being increased by a subdivision being developed across the line in Fauquier County.” Even Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis objected “to doing work for Fauquier before Rappahannock is taken care of.” “And all the work is done in one area,” Newbill Mil ler insisted again. SKEENS TRIED a nervous laugh. Miller continued: “I don’t think it’s fair to the people in the rest of the county. . .” The highwayman explained that spreading a budget around is difficult in a small county, because there isn’t all that much to spread around. “I have some $106,000 for rebuilding secondary roads,” said Skeens. “What’s that — the price of three homes on today’s ?

As far as improvement projects are concerned, it’s difficult to spread that out.” IT WAS Miller's turn to disagree with what had been said. He said the state set up various priorities for projects, and didn’t spend all it had in one area, so why couldn’t this be done on the county level as well. “Are you suggesting the appropriation be made according to magisterial districts?” asked Skeens. “I’m suggesting that the system is inequitable,” replied Miller. Added Mrs. Betty Coates: “Since I’ve been a Supervisor, all the new constructions has been inAmissville.” “There’s been a need in Amissville,” said Supervisor Latham. Skeens cited a specific road problem in Mrs. Coates’s District — “Mrs. Day’s road,” he called it. The solid rock that would have to be blasted and moved to improve that road would “take the whole budget for a number of years,” he said. “MAYBE YOU should split your budget in three parts and do so much each year,” suggested Herbert Foster. “You’ve spent more on scraping the entry up at Chester’s Gap than it would have cost you to do the project right in the first place. There wouldn’t have been so much maintenance.” “I’ve certainly attempted in times past to do the most I could to make the budget as fair as I could possibly make it,” said Jim Skeens. “You look at the county as one; we look at it as five,” said Newbill Miller. Skeens said he’d “be delighted” to work with the individual Supervisors in any way he could to try and satisfy their desires, but repeated his assertion that “it’s difficult to spread it out when it costs $70 to $100,000 per mile.” “THE PEOPLE ought to be able to determine what is best,” commented George Davis, claiming that the new bridge over the Rappahannock between Flint Hill and Marshall was not needed. Skeens’s budget was eventually approved, but the impression remained that the Supervisors — with the possible exception of Latham — remained unsatisfied. □ FLINT HILL NEWS The W.S.C.S. of Flint Hill United Methodist Church will meet Monday, September 18 at the home of Mrs. B.J.
