Rappahannock News, March 21, 1974

T Recreation Center officers elected GRANVILLE EASTHAM was elected president of the Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association at the organizational meeting Monday, March 18, at the local elementary school. Eastham, who resides in Flint Hill and is a native of the county, has devoted much time to Little League and other volunteer youth activities. He served on the City Council and as Mayor of Falls Church from 1963 to 1971. Tom Metzinger, presi Granville Eastham, newly elected president of the Rappahannock County Recreation Center Association, reviews the association’s Charter and Bylaws with Tom Metzinger and Helen Holschuh. Tom, as president of the High School’s Youth Club, assumed the duties as Association Vice President, and Mrs. Holschuh was elected Secretary Treasurer at Monday night’s meeting. At Forage conference Large bale enthusiasm H. L. MANWARING of Rappahannock was one of the speakers at the Northern Virginia Forage Conference held at Middleburg on March 14. ' The Woodville cattle farmer appeared on a panel with V.M. Dupont of Loudoun County, and Ed Gentry of Madison, to describe his experiences with what VPI Extension specialists, called “large hay packages.” Manwaring, who uses a round baler with a cowcalf operation, said he’d had excellent results. Rappahannock cattle farming is entirely a matter of grass and hay, he said, so yearround grazing techniques are of special interest there. He supplements the big bale feeding with stands of Kentucky 31 fescue, about which he was also enthusiastic. “We’re working toward having to feed hay only when snow covers the fescue,” said Manwaring. “The cows will eat even browned fescue first, in preference to hay, we’ve found.” The large, 800 - pound bales are fed to the cattle wagons, Manwaring said, showing slides of his operation. The large bales are handled by a front end loader, and keeping the bales on a feeder wagon cuts losses from trampling and scattering. “The round baler has meant less labor, less handling, minimum storage costs, and the hay is of a good quality,” said Manwaring. VIC DUPONT was equally enthusiastic about his experience with the StakHand, which makes huge, 1,500-pound, haystack size bales. He, too, is using fescue for winter grazing, “but we’ve found they need a little more help when the cold weather really hits.” Dupont said he’d found that grass keeps very well in the super large bales, but not clover. He’s also found it helps to “cap” the bales with a piece of plastic, much as the old-fashioned hay ricks were finished off by thatchers—to keep moisture damage to a minimum. These techniques, plus a feeder gate, arrangement, had resulted in minimum losses, Dupont reported. Experience with large bales of corn stalks, on the other hand, was not good. “We had a tremendous amount of loss with this. Another thing to watch out for in the large bales is cave-ins on small calves, he reported. Cattle have a tendency to “eat straight into” the stack, creating an exaggerated mushroom effect, and cave-ins. Ed Gentry of Madison said his operation is similar to Manwaring’s. He was as enthusastic as the first two speakers about See Page 18 dent of the Youth Club, is Vice President of the association, and Helen Holschuh was elected Secretary Treasurer. Julian Brown was appointed volunteer director of the Short Range Youth program. Lists of volunteers interested in serving on the various association committees were compiled. Chairmen of the student committees automatically serve with the corresponding adult group. Meetings will be held in the near future to organize and select chairmen for these committees, which will be responsible for such specific functions as fund raising, site selection and improvement, facility and planning, programs and counseling, and public re■ lations. Persons interested in serving on any of these committees should contact any association officer. Eastman issued a special call to local archi tects, engineers, and construction workers to volunteer help develop the recreation center building once a site has been acquired. COL. DALE Metzinger outlined the growth of the youth movement in the county from the creation of a Steering Committee under the inspiration of Rapp Owens and George Graham, to the present. Highlights included an appearance before the School Board and endorsement by various county civic organizations. Funds for the center have been received from individual donors and the proceeds from the play “Winnie The Pooh” are expected to exceed $1,000. .. A -charter and by-laws for the new association were adopted at the meeting, and an application for a governmental grant is pending. □ H. L. Man waring of Rappahannock takes a break during lunch at Middleburg to talk about his “large hay package” experiences.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 A master plan THE CHAIRMAN of the Board of Supervisors, Newbill Miller, says he’d like to see the country get started on drawing up a comprehensive plan as soon as possible. So do various other public officials and ordinary citizens. For one thing, it’s a requirement under State Law for adopting land use tax relief, which Ben Forberg of the State Division of Real Estate Appraisal sees as something which will eventually have to be adopted throughout the state, “if farmers are going to survive in Virginia.” There are things to be said both for and against drawing up so-called “master plans” for rural counties such as Rappahannock. In far too many similar places, the exercise has been one of projecting fantastic growth, on the theory that a plan must be for growth or why else plan. It would be extremely useful at this point, we think, for Rappahannock to look at a similar planning exercise not too far away. Clarke, a small rural county threatened more than Rappahannock by encroaching suburbia but maybe not by the “second home” potential, is very close to final adoption of its first comprehensive plan. The Supervisors over there looked around very carefully before hiring a planning consultant who seemed to reflect hotter than his fellows what they had in mind, and the draft proposals of the plan have been praised as “innovative and defensible.” The word “defensible” is attached because, alas, whenever a county sets out to try to control its fate, there is always someone—some developer or some speculator—who attempts to overturn it in the courts. wnat especially commenas me uiarKe uouniy planning exercise to local attention is the stated purpose of maintaining the county’s “rural character.” The plan would place some 90 per cent of the county in what is called an “open-space conservation” zone. Residential development is properly designated for existing towns and villages. Regulations are included to prevent “premature” development—that is, development where roads and utilities are not available or not immediately contemplated, or where schools are overloaded. The burden of proof is placed with the developer, to show a “demand” and a “need,” and to prove that his proposal would not “harm the environment” by creating undue water pollution, exceed watershed capacity, be placed on unsuitable soil types or excessive slopes, etc. THE DEATIL IS FAR greater than there is room here to describe, the point being that in a “comprehensive plan” as little room be left for loopholes as possible. Fauquier is another nearby county which has a _ Master Plan, but for many reasons, the Clarke effort may be closer to what Rappahannock might find compatible. Surely no one would want a plan here which projects as astronomical “growth” figures as does the Fauquier Plan.D Barns Many readers recognized the barn last week, wluch is owned by Mr and Mrs. W. D.

Commodity loan rate THE U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced an < increase in the interest rate on commodity loans to cotton and grain producers effective with 1974 crop year loans. The increase, from 5.5 to 7.25 percent per annum, computed on a daily basis, will more nearly reflect the borrowing cost of money to the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). In making the announcement the Department said that every six months the CCC will review interest charges for the CCC Loan Program with the goal of keeping the rate of interest charged to producers in line with CCC borrowing cost from the U.S. Treasury. Also announced is an increase in warehouse and farm storage loan service fees “to reflect additional costs in processing commodity loans on grains and similarly handled commodities, cotton and seed cotton.” WAREHOUSE storage loan service fees for grains are increased from $4 to $6 per loan plus $1 for each additional warehouse receipt over one. Service fees on farm stored loans for grain and seed cotton loans are increased from $8 to $10 per loan for each additional bin over one in the case of grain and for each additional rick over one in the CHURCH NOTES The First Baptist Church at Washington, Va. will hold a Church Conference March 30 at 5 p.m. Friendship Day at First Baptist Church will be observed April 7 at 3 p.m. The Rev.

The loans provide interim financing for producers to assist them in orderly marketing of their crops. p APP fill ATS By rap °wing' tinl Jl vUil l KJ Extension Agent VEGETABLE GARDENING—A good early garden will provide you some healthful exercise as well as some delicious fresh vegetables. A few weeks after planting, you can start harvesting the rewards of your efforts. Radishes will be large enough to eat in about three weeks. Mustard greens can be harvested in six weeks and lettuce and spinach in about seven weeks. Many hardy plants may be planted a month before the average date of the last frost such as broccoli, cabbage, kale, lettuce, mustard, radishes and spinach. You may plant a few short rows earlier. Hardy plants will tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees below freezing. Start your garden with radishes. Cherry Belle and Red Boy are excellent round red varieties with tender, white crisp flesh. Mustard and spinach are fine for early greens. Tendergreen mustard is drought resistant and the flavor is similar to spinach when cooked. America and Virginia Blight Resistant Savory are two of the best spinach varieties. Both of these varieties are quite tolerant of hot weather and will not go to seed quickly. Lettuce is one of the best crops for your early garden. Salad Bowl variety is so much better than other loose leaf types. It has notched and curled leaves. High quality is maintained even in hot weather. The more you pinch it off the longer it will last. Nice young leaves will come back each time. Kale is another fine crop for greens. Vates is the best variety to plant. This variety is called Vates Dwarf Blue 'Curled Scotch also. The dark green finely curled leaves are ready to harvest in about 8 weeks. A few cabbage plants will supply all your needs for early summer use. Stonehead is an early maturing hybrid and Little Rock is another which matures about two weeks later. Peas should be planted, if you have room. Frosty is a productive sweet delicious variety which matures in nine weeks. If you are late planting your peas, maybe you had better try Wando. This variety will produce high quality peas even in warm weather. Stop by the Extension Office for a copy of publication 44, “Vegetable Gardening in Virginia.”!!

FOXHUNTING SINCE 10 ‘It’s the greatest sport there is’ BY PEKAY PETTUS ^1 STARTED foxhunting I was about ten years old, in Rappahannock of course,” said Oliver Durant II. The former master of the Rappahannock Hunt and later, master of his own pack, the Hazelmere hounds, settled himself deep in a vinyl recliner chair. “And I can tell you, after these many years it’s still the finest sport there is.” “Absolutely,” he emphasized. “I’ve hunted quail all my life, shot geese all my life. Turkeys, deer, squirrels, possums and coons. But give me the old fashioned foxhunt. Born in me, I guess. “My first foxhunt was on a mule. My father wouldn’t let me ride a horse until I was much older. It was safe. That mule would never stumble and he could see a hole a mile away and go around that hole. Wouldn’t jump with me on his back, but we’d come to a fence and I’d get off and lead him over and I’d jump back on and he’d follow the hounds. Same as a dog would. “My uncle William Smith he’s now 83, taught me to foxhunt. My father never did care for it much. Came from Salt Lake City, you know. Uncle had a gaited horse. Naturally he’s shuffle on down the road and I had to post to keep up. But I never let him get out of my sight.” “IN THOSE days we didn’t have the barbed wire fences, but rock walls and rail fences. It was easy to pick a place where you could step over or lead over or hop over. Then when I began to get my nerve up. I thought: Well, maybe, if my mule can r’ar up over this one I can stick with him. “And then later, when I gave up the mule, I had _ ~ Engagement is announced Mr. and Mrs. David T. Coffey of Castleton announce the engagement of Mr. Coffey’s sister, Miss Brenda Mae Coffey, to Richard Allen Criss, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Criss of Amissville. Miss Coffey is the daughter of Roy Coffey of Orange and the late Mae Coffey. She has made her home with her brother and sister-in-law for the past five years. Mr. Coffey, Jr. is employed by AI Construction Co. in Arlington. No date has been set for the wedding. □ a lovely little jumper. And I thought I was a great man when I started to jump a horse. Yes sir, I thought I was a great foxhunter when I could get on a nice horse and go galloping across the countryside to follow the hounds. Oh boy, I thought I was a real foxhunter in those days. “One time, the hounds got away and I got separated and I could hear just one hound. I followed this one hound—oh, way, in the distance—and I caught up with him. He was coming back to where we left the crowd. And he led me right back to where the people were standing. They thought that hound would come back to where he’d left. Yes sir, I followed him all the way back and I thought that was the greatest achievement of my foxhunting career. Sticking with that hound.” \ “I’VE ridden horseback/ from here down to Mit/ chells, Virginia, which is 15 miles or more. We rode all the way, hacked down that is, and the hounds were following us on foot. We had a fine hunt after we got there. Hunted rest of the day; got the hounds in, spent the night and hacked back the next day. Mitchells is on the other side of the tracks, past Culpeper, part of Manly Carter’s Hunt before it was recognized. I joined up with them and went on down. I was the youngest one in the crowd but I just had to go. I loved it, that fox race. “I used to hunt with Captain Laramie at the Old Dominion Hounds, Captain Sterling Laramie, back in 1918, 1919. That’s where Mr. Kuncewicz has his home now, over at the old kennels. We had some marvelous hunts... “I hunted a while with Mr. Manly Carter and his pack of hounds at Orange. That was the Orange Hunt. He had that before the Rapidan Hunt came in. After he gave it up, Mr. Williams came down and organized the Rapidan Hunt. Earl Yancey was the huntsman, a nice territory, a nice pack, but I never got down there to hunt with them. Was asked to, though. “Then, of course, I’ve hunted with the Middleburg pack and Mrs. Randolph’s pack, the Piedmont, and hunted two years straight with Potomac and with the Cheshire hounds in Union - ville and the Redland pack in Marylartd.” “IT ORIGINATED here in Rappahannock, foxhunting, way back. Mr. Bywaters hounds, among the greatest ever. I’ve been out with his hounds. The old man never did ride a horse very hard, just really going out to take his hounds out. “I’ve seen him come up the road in a buggy and his hounds would be following this buggy, tie his horse to a tree and get out and walk his hounds down into the woods and jump the fox. He’d stay down there and listen to those hounds run half the night. The greatest bunch of foxhounds, known all over. me ursipacKoinounas I ever had, my uncle, William Smith, gave me this bitch. And I bred her and she had seven pups. So that made me have four couples. I was 12 years old. From that time on I’ve always had foxhounds, my own pack. And hunted ’em. “It’s known as an outlaw pack, but they were so good in time they were recognized. They weren’t called ‘outlaws’ but they were classed as an outlaw pack. “I have hounds now but I don’t hunt them with the regular pack. It’s not etiquette to put the outlaw in with the regulars. But if the regular pack isn’t out, like if they hunted on Saturday, why then on Sunday we might feel like taking our pack out and running them. Have 12 running hounds. “Sometimes we take ’em out on Sunday night. Gr any old night when the weather’s right. I have two hunting horses but I don’t ride to hounds quite like I used to.

Food Stamp plan approved STILL UNDER PROTEST, the Rappahannock Supervisors voted at their March 7 meeting to formally request that the county’s existing excess food commodity program be replaced by the Food Stamp program. “They not only make us do something we don’t want to do, they make us ask for it,” commented Chairman Newbill Miller. Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, head of the county’s welfare activities, was aware of the Supervisors’ feelings, on the basis of previous actions. “I’d like to come up here once in my career and tell you something you would like to hear,” she said. “But today is not the day.” She then went on to describe how the Food Stamp program is becoming mandatory throughout the nation, and of how the surplus food commodity program is being phased out. She needed a formal resolution endorsing the change, so that preparations can begin to crank up the new program. Preparations, Mrs. Buntin said, will involve hiring, renting space, acquiring coupons, and making arrangements for^ handling the coupons, which are the equivalent of legal tender. She recommended that the local bank be contacted for handling the stamps. FRETTING SOMEWHAT, Newbill Miller read from a letter stating that federal action had been approved making the Food Stamp program mandatory by July 1, unless a state agency is willing to state that for a specific location the program would be impractical. “They say they’ve run out of surplus food, that they don’t have it to give away any more,” commented Clerk E. M. Jones. In reply to a question from Supervisor Pete Luke, Mrs. Buntin said that the bank is paid $25 a month and up to 75 cents “per coupon issuance” for handling the stamps. There could be 90 to 100 “issuances” a month, she said. In Madison, Mrs. Buntin reported, the value of stamps handled amounted to $12,864 in October. This means the issuing agency took in some $5,500 in cash and issued almost $13,000 in coupons; 456 persons or 145 cases were involved. MRS. BUNTIN THOUGHT Rappahannock’s figures would be lower, since the county’s population is lower than Madison’s. (Madison has some 8,000 persons; Rappahannock, by the last census, has 5,200.) To a question from Supervisor Luke, Mrs. Buntin said the Stamp program would cost about $15,000 a year in Rappahannock, of which $3,000 would be the local share. The bank would be paid about $125 to $150 a month for handling the stamps, and the only new equipment that will have to be purchased is an calculating machine that will multiply.G Ukrainian Easter eggs UKRAN1AN Easter eggs will be the center of attention at free demonstrations, Saturday April 6, by Linda Gruber, at the Country Store of Washington, Va.

According to Mrs. Gruber, the first egg anyone makes will turn out well. RESIDENTS of Rappahannock County may remember that Linda and her husband Gary spent a good bit of time in the county when Gary was minister of the Washington,.(Virgin We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP.

Now they crucify us. Maybe the lemencyis because we are known as Free-thinkers. I believe in Godwithallmyheart—thatis, the Godnf mv Heart I don’t accept a God divided by three equTls Father, and Hoi, Spirit. God IS the Hoi, Spirit; in Him everything moves and has its being. He is in all and IS ALL. Ancient man gave to God all the weaknesses that man possesses, tins^bemg got mad, was jealous and sometimes demanded blood sacrifices. Don’t demean God; He is above such non sensical ideas. Omar Khayyam questions a God who tempts his offspring to sin. ,, “Oh Thou, who man of baser earth didst make, And ev’n with Paradise devise the snake: For all the sin wherewith the face of Man Is blackened—Man’s forgiveness give—and Take. I BELIEVE IN the eternal goodness of God, but I know my human hands are too weak to hold onto iron c reeds. “Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood, To one fixed trust my spirit clings; I know that God is Good. ” What better proof of God’s love than He permits us to work out our own salvation. Jesus mentioned the law of karma when He said we have to reap what we sow. What could we do that would merit eternal damnation for a few short years on this plane? So we come to a justification—reincarnations until the karmic debt is paid. If my belief in this doctrine were an isolated case I might question my rationale. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Free from what? Outworn creeds; the afterlife? Holmes’ Chambered Nautilus is one of the answers to this question. “Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll. Leave thy low-vaulted past. Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’ unresting sea.”D xxmxzzvmzlLEAL ESTATE FOR SALE:-:AMISSVILLE AREA—(Culpeper County) 3 bedrooms plus 2 more unfinished, family loom with fireplace, dining room, large eat-in kitchen, bath and partial basement.

I say sure, go ahead; I’ll watch you from here. There’s so much wire in the country now it’s not as much fun riding to the pack. Wire, a terrible lot of it. Makes trouble. You can put in a coop or a panel but you have to funnel for that. It’s not the same. You’ve got to go in it just right. “So many farmers hate for you to panel their fence, you know. You have to ride where there’s a gap or a gate or go down the road and cut. You’ve got to really know the territory and know.where those gaps are. And you’ve got to go ’round and stand in with your neighbor. If there’s any damage dime you have to go back and apologize to him, see that his stock are not out, repair his fences. It’s a big problem, but it’s fun. It’s the greatest sport there is. “Absolutely, I’ve hunted quail all my life, shot geese all my life, turkeys, deer, squirrels, possums, coons, but give me the old fashioned foxhunt. It’s the greatest sport there is. “Born in me, I guess.” “YOU KNOW Rappahannock has the largest territory of any hunt club in the country. You know the old territory of Rappahannock Hunt? If I’m not mistaken, it ran from Page County to the Southern Railroad tracks in Culpeper, into Madison and up to the Fauquier County line. “I think that’s one of the largest territories in the country, ever; big enough to be a state of its own. Now they can’t possibly hunt that whole territory, but they make a pretty good showing. “But they get over most of it, even if what they’ve got left is still one of the biggest there is. Have to get over it, so they can keep it. Used to be another Hunt club would come in and take it away from you. “Rappahannock hasn’t had much of a problem yet, but hunts like Bull Run, Fairfax, Loudoun, even Warrenton, are feeling the squeeze. They’re having to move away from the old kennels, get out in the country where it’s more open. Rare that you can hack over to meets anywhere now, specially for hunts in crowded country like that. Just too many places where it’d be too much trouble to get through. “Still a lot of open country over this way. Country where clubs could move into, if they could get the backing and the following. Say, if Warrenton Hunt wanted to move south, coming this way, I’m sure the Rappahannock Hunt’s territory is large enough for them to come in through here, my section, and go towards Culpeper and Orange. “We’ve got enough territory to share. At least that’s the way it looks now. But people don’t understand foxhunting like they used to. Don’t love it like they cmce did.” “I USED to know preachers who loved to foxhunt. And they’ve told me, I don’t know whether it’s true or not, that during the services, on Sunday morning, the hounds would be coming by the church while the services were going on. They would stop the preaching to go sit outside and listen to the hounds pass. Then he’d go back and carry on his preaching.” Durant twinkled, slapped his knee and leaned back in the big recliner chair. “Oh that’s good! So good! But you don’t hear of it much any more.”D REMEMBER!

License deadline THE Division of Motor Vehicles reminds Virginians that after midnight, March 31, all registered vehicles must display 1974 license plates. For private passenger cars, this means that the multi - year plates must show year and month decals. Since all others '(trucks, trailers, motorcycles, etc.) remain on an annual basis, owners must buy new 1974 plates. These may be purchased during March, at any DMV branch, contractual license agency, or by mail. Commissioner Vern L. Hill also reminds truck owners that this year, for the first time, they have an opportunity to purchase plates on a quarterly basis. An additional $5 fee will be assessed for each quarter that the truck is registered. THE NEW service is expected to benefit farmers, large fleet operators and others, who operate trucks seasonally. Since the volume of activity during March will be greatly reduced this year, due to the staggered-month renewal system for passenger cars, DMV has discontinued the sale of plates through neighborhood subagents.D Cattle prices * rom rage j $34.25 to $34.55.

Major losses had come from moisture in the ground, he related, and his operation differs from Manwaring’s mainly in that he stores more of the large, round bales inside. Questions from the audience were numerous. According to one observer, many farmers are reluctant to adopt the no-storage techniques. For one thing, they’ve got a lot of ; money tied up in conventional, square-baling ma!. chinery, and in storage facilities. BUT THE interest in the large bale technique, and in winter fescue grazing, was obvious. Dr. R.E. Blaser of the VPI Agronomy Department, raised one question from the audience—about the tendency of large-bale operators to feed cattle in rocky places,in woods, and at the edge of fields, to reduce trampling damage to pastures. “I’m worried about taking the fesces and urine off the land,” he said. “We should not get away from cattle grazing the pastures, and this is one of the big advantages of a winter fescue program.” Blaser cited New Zealand practices as proof of his point. Replied Manwaring: “The fescue program is nearer to New Zealand conditions than anything else around here. We like to distribute it, too.” PANTHER TALES At a recent Youth Center meeting Tom Metzinger was elected to represent the young people as president of the organization.
