STATE XIBRART RICHMOND I9# *3219 : iuippciluuttuickWuii? Volume XXIV, Number 52 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, NOVEMB Ir i, lMSRGlhffJft TEEN CENTS NOV 2 Farm study report ‘Significant’ loss in Rappahannock noted “RAPPAHANNOCK County was the only Piedmon County to lose population (-3.1%) during the last decade. Most of this population decline is attributed to farmers going out of business. “From 1959 to 1969, over 200 farms were lost in Rappahannock, 42% of all farms in the County. With only half of the County in farms, this loss of 15$, of farm acreage is significant.’’ Theso statistics have been released by B. Powell Harrison and the Piedmont Environmental Council’s Committee. The Committee, formed WfSt June, has issued a “Preliminary Report on Farming in the Piedmont,” dealing with the economic problems of agriculture in the region. The reason for the decline in Rappahannock is mainly an economic one, says the PEC. Farming simply is not profitable. “From 1959 to 1969 market value of all agricultural products sold in the County decreased by 30%, while neighboring counties of Fauquier, Culpeper and Madison all increased their farm products sold. Of Teacher's Association meeting The Retired Teacher’s A s sociation of. Rappahan - nock will hold a meeting November 13 at the home of Mrs. Frances Lynenear Washington at lp.m. Mrs. Annie Cooke, president of the local group, extended an invitation to all retired teachers of the area to join the group. She said, “There are so many advantages of being a mem - ber of our local, state and district associations, too many to enumerate.” If transportation to the meeting should pose a?problem, Mrs. Cooke advises that she should be contacted and provisions will be made for travel.□ all nine counties studied, Rappahannock had the lowest market value of goods sold per acre $31. “But after operating expenses are subtracted, also the lowest in the region, $28 per acre, the net profit per acre is just under $3. Culpeper farmers average twice this much in profits, and Virginia farmers in general make $14 per acre,” according to the study. THE PIEDMONT Environmental Council’s board of directors has directed the study committee to continue its-. research and try to come up with some solutions to the ec onomic problems of farmers. PEC is a private nonprofit membership organization “dedicated to the protection of the Northern Piedmont.” The study of farming co,vers a nine-county Piedmon region from Loudoun to Albemarle. In the preliminary report, it was found that “over one half (55%) of all Piedmont land is in agricultural use, a total of 1,259,863 acres. The market value of all farm-grown products from the region has been increasing at a rate of 6%. The Piedmont , region produces roughly 10% of the $840 million value pla ced on all agricultural products of Virginia.” Yet with this great economic asset, farming in the Piedmont is declining. THE AVERAGE farmer in the region only makes $868 per year, after expenses. For this reason, the Piedmont has lost one third of all of its farms. ‘‘Earnings of farmers in general averages 30% less than earnings of all other workers in the region...the average age of farmers in the region is 55, with a significant portion of farm owners over age 65,” according to the study. B. Powell Harrison of Leesburg, president of PEC summarizes the situation as: “The Piedmont farmer is overworked, underpaid, overtaxed and not appreciated for the vital services he provides. He is too old to continue his work, has no'real prospect for continuation of his work, and his lancL is under threat of development by local pressures. , “The Piedmont farmer is badly off, yet little or nothing is being done to improve his lot in life. PEC pledges to continue its work into this problem, find the reasons why, and propose real solutions to keep the farmer farming and benefit all of us in the region.”^ Building Trades Class The Building Trades I Class at Rappahannock County High School has undertaken and completed a building project which includes this storage building and a number of dog houses. The work is under the instruction of Mr. Stoltzfus and class members are Donald Compton, James Freeman, Charles Grigsby, Roger Hitt, Barry Hudson, Earl Lilly, Jeff Scroggins, William Smoot, William Southard, Alan Yest and Andy Dwyer. The class wishes to sell the building and dog houses at cost and reinvest the money in more trade projects.

SARAH Telephone Ip •Managing Editor ■3*9 ' Two reports TWO REPORTS dealing with the future of Virginia were released this week. A study committee of the Piedmont Environmental Council warned that development pressures are threatening to eliminate farming from the Northern Piedmont, and with it a 250-year-old cultural history aijd tradition. A self-serving “populationdensity”projection commissioned by Virginia Electric & Power Company sees nothing but more of the same sort of heedless “growth” which has done so much devastation in the past ^decade, and concludes (unsurprisingly) that Vepco “must provide new facilities to meet the energy requirements of the Urban Corridor that stretches from Washington to Tidewater.” What a contrast. On the one hand, the PEC views with alarm the threatened scrapping of a gracious and cherished tradition, and calls for a heightened awareness of what t^is would mean in transformed landscape and altered life styles. On the other hand, Vepco draws the mindless conclusion of typical “progress” and “growth” advocates: “...It is clear from this new study that additional facilities are going to be needed by 1980, particularly in the Northern Virginia area.” We suppose the “realists” among us will wonder why there should be an expression of outrage over Vepco’s conclusion. But where have these “hard-nosed” engineers, pragmatists, men-ofthe-world taken us so far? To almost weekly air pollution alerts in the immediate D.C. area; to continuing concern about water quality; to rising , crime rates and a cluttered, uglified landscape. This is “realism” and “practicality”? If it is, then give us the “romanticism” of a Piedmont Environmental Council which thinks the heritage of centuries something worth saving, which takes seriously the warnings of agriculturists about future food-production capabilities in a land of ever-rising population. INSTEAD OF gleefully prpjecting upward curves on graphs and concluding that only more of the same will solve the orgies of excess we already have, why can’t people in outfits like Vepco take an interest in a broader approach? Are they really so enslaved to profit-and-loss statements that they don’t care what kind of air they breathe, what kind of water they drink, what kind of landscape they live in, or—and this is the most baffling of all_what kind of tomorrow their children inherit? We commend the PEC report to all persons concerned about such “impractical” things as air, water, earth and the future. We’ll leave to Vepco and its friends that smog-|eclouded vision of the future through which they" jreer—with pollutionreddened eyes— toward vistas of greater profits, if fewer opportunities for enjoyment of the “benefits” they think they see.D Barns The bam of Robert L.

Have you stopped to be thankful you live with the beauty of Rappahannock and do not have to get in the bumper-to-bumper traffic each weekend to enjoy this beautiful countryside? You are here with it each dayhow blessed you are! Have you asked yourself what you can do to protect the delightful environment which we are so fortunate to enjoy? Or, are you one who contributes to the trash dumped on roadsides and in streams? Who are you? # " Frances Lyne CHURCH NOTICES The Reynolds Memorial Haptist Church. Sperry - ville monthly Fellowship Supper for November has been changed from the 7th to the Hth and will be at 6:90 due to the change in itifie. Si Sez WELL, WE DONE IT AG’IN, climbed a mountain, that is. While we were up there we attempted to solve some of the problems that face our society today. Instead of placing some of our citizenry on welfare, why not enlist their aid in cleaning up the parks, clearing and marking trails etc? There are fallen trees that could be converted into firewood to supplement the shortage of fuel oil. Wouldn’t that be a form of rehabilitation to have young men come into such an area to do something constructive? This friend suggested that they be trained to use heavy equipment so that they could be gainfully employed. Well, what do -YOU think? Before we went up my sweet thing wanted to Knov\ what we wanted for dinner when we came down. Alter we got to the top I told my friend that she was concerned about bread, that this is the ‘ white hyacinths for my soul.” When we came back he jokingly told her I wanted to eat some white iris. Phooey. The Book says: “Prepare the W AV of the Lord, make His PATH straight.” Could it be that in working toward benefits for His children we might be doing His will. I would like to see the trails cleared and marked. There are some areas where the removal of trees that obstruct the view to scenes below would be advisable. Due to the shortage of gasoline I would think that the public will take advantage more and more of park areas. And, since the public is actually picking up the tab, why not give them some consideration.’ As these areas become more popular, larger parking space will be needed. After all, hikers have to have a starting point. I’m sure that when such a one comes back to his, or her, starting point, "all tuckered out;” and finds their car has been towed away, finds it a painful experience to say the least...

Il County seems to lean toward Godwin ELECTION DAY, November 6 will include the selection of a Governor for Virginia, along with a Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General for the state; members of the House of Delegates, and on the local scene, a Treasurer for Rappahannock County.

Godwin, a Democrat turned Republican, has the support of the Republican Party here, as well as the old line Democrats of the Byrd era. These were his supporters WOODVILLE NEWS By MRS.

The Godwin opponent, Independent Henry Howell, has made little or no noise in Rappahannock, though there is some backing here. Howell has not visited here nor have there been any rallies or meetings in his behalf. ll. Harry Michael,, Jr. is the Democrat seeking the office of Lieutenant Governor, while John N. Dalton is the Republican candidate with Flora Crater an Independent. Little active campaigning has taken place here for this office, though the Republican faction will surely support Dalton. ANDREW P. MILLER is incumbent for the office of the Attorney General. He is a Democrat and is opposed by Republican M. Patton Echols Jr. Sentiment here is divided, but there has been very little activity for either. Miller seems well liked by the public. He has previously visited here several times, and is known personally. D. French Slaughter, Jr. is seeking reelection as the member of the House of Delegates from the Twenty-fifth District, is opposed by little known Felix Maddox IV. Slaughter is making a bid for his ninth term in the house though he has not represented Rappahannock all of that time. Redistricting a few years ago put Rappahannock with Orange, Culpeper and Madison counties in the Twenty-Fifth. SLAUGHTER IS running as an Independent, chang ing from the Democratic Party since in recent years he says he has been unable to support some of the Democratic nominees. He is a member of the Appropriations Committee, the Privileges and Elections, Nominations and Confirmation Committees, and is Chairman of the Agriculture Committee of the House. Mrs. Frances Foster has no opposition as Treasurer of Rappahannock. She was appointed to that office after the retirement of Robert L. (Jock) Brown, and had served as his deputy for many years prior to his retirement. □ Bridge Party Mrs. Carroll Quaintance entertained a dessert Bridge Friday evening at her home near Sperryville.

Rappahannock Hunt has opening By MARY JAMIESON A BEAUTIFUL fall sight was the hound parade on the long green lawn before Stonehaven House in view of the flag-flanked stirrup cup table, the enthusiastic spectators-and a mounted field of 35 foxhunters, on that glistening morning of Rappahannock Hunt’s Opening Meet, October 27. Ground supporters included Mrs. N. K. G. Tholand and her house guests from Sweden, Capt. and Mrs. LennartLindgren and Col. and Mrs. Sten Geijer; Mrs. Nandor Blacz and Henry Nelson of England. In- the field, Mrs. Nelson, who hunts with the Warwickshire, and Mr. Blacz of Hungary, were anticipating their first foxhunt with a U. S. pack. Huntsman Jimmy Dodson cast hounds onto the paisley-toned southside of Fielding Mountain, which forms such a handsome backdrop for Mr. and Mrs. Muth’s Stonehaven. Very dry conditions made the progress of horses following Master James E. Fletcher up the steep slope sound as though they were wading through cornflakes. IN SPITE of the dryness, the hounds did get up a red fox after scurrying around on the ridge of Fielding for some time. This fox took a big circle down the southwest side of the mountain and out into the open pastures of the open pastures across the road from Walter Varner’s farm. Just before the red bolted out of the woods, the field poured over a new coop in that disastrously tight landing over the jump, Larry LeHew pulled up and began stuttering: “Ther goes the fox-fox-fox-fox... I mean Tallyho!” A good seven minutes later, hounds felt their way off the mountain onto the line, but it was a pretty cold track by then. (Incidentally, it was the only OIL HOME HEATERS —Engineered ’"'to Heat Your Home \ Better at Lower Cost More heat at less cost... from Imaginative engineering.

Hounds followed the Red full circle back to Muth’s, with hunters’ hooves in strong pursuit along little old secondary road 621. Gravel was flying and the pulsating rhythm of galloping horses could be heard all the way to Woodville. AFTER THE hunt, at High Thicket, breakfast was given to the Rappahannock Hunt membership by Mr. and Mrs. George E. Muth and Mr. and Mrs. James P. Jamieson. Because of the gorgeous bright warm weather, many of the morning’s foxhunters transformed into swimmers and sunbathers, to discuss the run around the Jamieson’s pool before attacking the buffet. This lent a somewhat unseasonal touch to 1973’s Opening Meet. When the day’s activities came to an end, we had the opportunity to interview, in her stable, Soto Grande, a veteran hunting mare who has participated in the past seven opening meets of the Rappahannock Hunt. She observed: “Rappahannock County ’ s becoming, a second County Limerick, if ME cousin who lives in Adare over there in Ireland speaks the truth, what with all sorts of people popping in from overseas just to have a go huntin' with us. Look at today’s assortment—with hunters from Britain, Hungary and Sweden, as well as all our own local types. ”□ Driving class schedule Classes in defensive driving will be held November 5, 6, 7 and 9 in the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington.

These were among the numerous riders who enjoyed the day.

This includes automobile headlights, spotlights or any other light which can be cast to spot animals. This action is necessary, says Jacobsen, to protect Park wildlife from illegal hunting activities.□ CONFERENCE DAY Parent-Teacher Conference Day will be held at Rappahannock County High School Friday, November 2.

Tom Logan of the Oklahoma Department of Conservation used radio transmitters on 22 fawns to determine how well they survive. In some years over 50% of the fawns died—the major cause of death being blood loss and infection resulting from tick bites. In general, the most healthy fawns survived the tick bites.

The official ribbon-cutting will take place Tues Studded tire rules stressed USE OF studded tires will not be legal in Virginia until November 1, Colonel H. W. Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, has warned motorists. He noted that formerly the dates permitting use of such tires were October 15 to April 15 but the 1972 General Assembly changed them to November 1 to April 1 and the 1973 General Assembly did not act in this field. day at 10 a.m., immediately proceeded by a grand opening sky diver display and contest. Gail Vandeveter, Miss Virginia of 1973, will be on hand to meet and greet the large crowds expected at the opening ceremonies. The 45,000 square foot department store will be the first Virginia store owned and operated by Jamesway.

Average prices jumped 10 to 11%. Freight prices increased at the i same time. As an example, if 6-10-10 was selling for $56 per ton October 26, it would now cost you $63.66 per ton counting the increase in price and freight. We have been pretty well assured, as the columnist say from “reliable sources’’ that there will be another price increase of about 10% within the next two weeks. Even with price increases, shortages could develope of phosphate and nitrogen. And because of the freight situation, delay in time from order to delivery to your dealer can be expected to increase. Suggest you “Git .it while the gettin is good.’’ 1. Apply the phosphate and potash this fall and winter that will be needed for crops to be grown in 1974. This includes pasture, hay and the sod or rye that will be planted to sod planted corn. 2. Figure out your fertilizer needs for now through the spring planting season and have a visit with your fertilizer supplier. Order now, but don't expect him sell except on delivery price. The price situation is too unstable. 3. Make sure that fertilizer availability for plant growth is not reduced because of Soil acidity. Check your soil pH and lime this fall or winter, if needed. We- certainly don’t want to push the panic button, but neither do we want anyone asking next spring, "Why didn’t you tell me?”G Mew and Used Cars and Trucks PIEDMONT Chevrolet-Oldsmobile, Inc. 814 N.

We would think so! But if you re still unsure about the race for Governor, ask youself a few pertinent questions: 1. Who has fought for the housewife beset with spiraling inflation? For worried consumers in general? For the working man? For the aged and infirm? For Virginians in every part of the state? 2. Who has battled hard to keep the big utilities from overcharging you? To lower your Auto insurance rates? To end the unfair sales tax on food and non-prescription drugs? To provide free textbooks for schoolchildren? To end unfair taxation wherever it exists? 3 who—in short—has had the courage to stand up against the entrenched "big boys" in order to protect and assist you? THIS IS THE YEAR fOR HENRY HOWELL!
