UA VU.UViiy i/f Volume XXV, Number 37 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1974 FIFTEEN CENTS Schools to be minus familiar faces SEVERAL familiar teachers’ faces will be missing when Rappahannock youngsters return to classrooms this fall, but each of the new retirees is looking forward to retirement and all have plans to keep busy. Mrs. Catherine Brown of Sperryville has headed the school lunch program at Rappahannock Elementary since the new school was built. But she began her “kitchen career” with the Rappahannock school system in 1949. Later she assisted Mrs. Frances Schoeber at the high school in Sperryville. But Mrs. Schoeber left in mid-year to work with the home economics department at Washington. “That’s when I took over,” Mrs. Brown said. “And I’ve been doing this kind of work ever since. The kitchen and lunch room were in the old agriculture building then. And the kitchen wasn’t half as big as mine here,” she said, looking around the kitchen and dining area of her home near Sperryville. In 1951 the two high schools were consolidated in the school building at Washington, and primary and elementary grades were left at Sperryville, Mrs. Brown recalled. “We were feeding about 400 then,” she said. - MRS. BROWN remained at Sperryville until the other grade schools were consolidated and the present elementary school was constructed. “I assumed ed until the close of the ’74 Center deed is conveyed A DEED for 6.5 acres along the Rush River was conveyed Tuesday to the Rappahannock Recreation Association from Colonel Earl E. Holmes, and Granville Eastham, president of the Recreation Association, forsees no problem ’ in having the deed made out to the Association instead of to the county. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis had said a£- the July meeting of the Board of Supervisors that he thought trie'ie**d might have to be deeded to ine' county before the Supervisors cold accept a $15,000 Federal grant for construction of the recreation center. Davis refrained from giving a legal opinion until he could “see all the legal documents involved;” but he told the Supervisors that he thought the county should have title to the land because the county would be required to return all grant funds in the event something happened and the project was not completed. Eastham had responded to Davis’s comments at that meeting by saying the deed was being prepared by an attorney, and that he really didn’t know all the details, but he assumed it would include a revisionary clause to “assigns and heirs.” “WE’VE ALWAYS known that the grant money would come through the Supervisors and the county treasurer to us,”Easthamsaid when he announced that the deed had been recorded. “The Supervisors have full control of the money and that’s as it shouldbe. We’ll .have to work it out so that the taxpayers don’t get involved,” he salt}.The grant is from . the Urban Assistance Incentive Fund, a department within the Division of State Planning and Community Affairs. ENGINEERS from the State Planning Division will soon visit the property with members of the Recreation Association, Eastham said. “We’ll give them a pretty good idea of what we want to get built now and what we nave in mind for the next phase, several years from now,” he said. “Then See Page 15 session. Needless to say, it was a great deal larger and we were preparing almost twice as many lunches. I almost needed roller skates to cover the territory at the new building.” ‘‘Of the slightly over 800 students, about 700 ate lunch reguarly,” Mrs. Brown said. ‘‘When we served something children especially like, say, hamburgers, more than 750 would eat lunch. Fish sticks was a big day, too.” “My cole slaw always seemed to make a big hit with the youngsters and many parents asked for the recipe,” Mrs. Brown said. “I’d tell them, well, take two bags of cabbage (the big green net sacks), a gallon of mayonnaise, a gallon of salad dressing, along with some pickle vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and hope it turns out for the best.” Mrs. Brown has found it difficult to cook for only a few people after cooking in such large quantities for 25 years. ‘‘My large family has grown up and gone away,” she said, “so it’s hard to cut down. I do have one of my grandchildren living with me now.” The compulsory retirement age for cafeteria workers is 70 and Mrs. See Page 6 Sperryville carnival SPERRYVILLE Fire Department is scheduled to open its annual benefit carnival next Wednesday, July 24 and it will be concluded after four nights, with prizes awarded on Saturday. The other highlights of the event will be the mammouth parade set for Thursday evening with riu merous units of all types entered and a queen contest which will culminate Friday night with a coronation of lovely young lady. Exciting rides on the midway, good food, fun, amusements, games and entertainment are in store for all age carnival goers. Prizes and more prizes will be awarded. □ 4 fci 'd* A sudden wind storm last Wednesday evening tossed and twirled tree limbs, porch furniture, and-TV antennas in the Washington area. Hail pelted the town, electricity failed in some places, and trees were uprooted. The yard above at the home of Mrs. Bobbi Critzer was hard hit and she said she expected the house to go any minute in the face of the terrific gusts.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Farming’s value WHAT IS THE TRUE value of agriculture in this area? Has it declined to only marginal economic value, even in such a traditionally strong agricultural county as Rappahannock or Fauquier? Or is it still the cleanest, most profitable “industry” around, to be cherished and assisted rather than replaced? Agricultural economists have always maintained that farming’s value to a community surpasses that of many other enterprises. The “multiplier effect” is the reason. Money earned farming largely stays home. Thus, a grain farmer takes money he realizes from his cash crops and, in addition to paying for his family’s living expenses, uses it to buy more seed, fencing materials, tractors and other equipment, livestock, fuel, and so on and so on— all from local sources. And so do the people who work for him, in contrast to even the most desirable “research and development” industry, which often has a large commuter work force which may or may not spend their money where they earn it. But how can the “multiplier effect” of a farming community be judged? After all, the latest census figures available showed a dollar income of only $12,136,539 in Fauquier. For comparison, note that the Vint Hill Farms Army station payroll is estimated at $17.5 million. Does that make a payroll-source like Vint Hill more valuable to Fauquier than traditional farming? NOT NECESSARILY, says Ernest Cole, a tax appraiser, former county agent and expert on New York State’s Agricultural District system, who spoke at the recent Piedmont Environmental Council conference on area farm problems. He said that Cornell University economists use a “multiplier effect” factor of 2.6 in estimating the total economic value of agriculture. A local accountant said that sounded just about right; from his knowledge of the subject, and Fauquier Extension Agent Bob Tudor agreed. If anything, they said, 2.6 is probably “conservative.” Tudor added the further information that the dollar figure on Fauquier’s farming industry has increased by about one-third since the last Agricultural Census in 1969. If the market value of all agricultural products sold in 1969 equalled $12,136,539, and that has increased one third, current farm income would be $16,182,025. A 2.6 “multiplier effect” equals a total farm industry “impact” of $42,073,335.20 per year in Fauquier. THAT’S A sizeable “industry.” It would take quite a few “R & D” payrolls to even get near it, and still pay as much back to the county in taxes. According to computations by the Virginia Farm Bureau, based on 1972 State Department of Taxa tkm Reports, a Fauquier farm with a value of $100,000, including all buildings and dwellings, pays $420 in taxes. In Loudoun, the figure is $850; .in Clarke, $580; in Rappahannock $320. Such a farm requires little more than a single-family residence in governmental services. But it is estimated that a county in this area must pay anywhere from $8,000 to $15,000 in capital costs to provide services needed for every “Close-ups” Many, many of our readers have an eye for money and correctly identified the CloseUp last week as the reverse side of a one dollar bill.

Letters to the Editor Citizen check-list Editor: For the past two years we have more than any other time in our history continuously had before us things that go on in Washington, D.C. and our government which we do not admire. We’ve talked and talked and talked about what goes on in the national level. How many of the citizens of Rappahannock County have looked within themselves in an effort to see what kind of a citizen they are? Ask yourself the following questions: • In this time of energy crisis, do I drive within the speed limit or do I break the laws, waste fuel and yell loud when I cannot buy gas? • Do Ithrow cans and other containers on the roadsides and in the streams and cry about the high tax rate, a large portion of which is spent cleaning up roadside trash? • Do I have a picnic on the roadside or eat in the .car throwing disposable paper containers on the roadside? • Do I obey road signs or do I drive to suit myself having no regard for the rights and life of my fellowman? new family. If a 200-acre farm is “developed” into a 200-lot subdivision, it could cost a county as much as $2,000,000 in capital outlays, while the county realizes only $26,000 to $68,000 in property taxes. School costs alone for such a subdivision could run as high as $140,000. ^ , What about “clean” industry? According to th& Farm Bureau, if such an outfit moves in and invest as much as $1,000,000, it will pay in local taxes just about enough to furnish the capital outlay need to provide services for a single family, per year. THE FARM BUREAU argues that farming is the best industry this area could possibly have. It’s already here; it needs few “new” people’ it buys and trades locally; it doesn’t need elaborate highways; it requires little in the way of police and fire protection; it has a higher investment per employe than any industry except oil and chemical processing plants. And those are just economic arguments. Environmental, cultural, scenic and historic considerations are equally compelling. The Piedmont has already got the best industry there is.D • Do I buy disposable diapers and throw them on the roadsides? • When taking trash to a dumpster, am I careful to see that no trash falls on the ground around the dumpster? • Do I really care about my home, my county, my state, my country, or am I interested only in me? To this list add your own questions. These are some of the most flagrant that come to mind. We must remember each of us is a part of this great country of ours. What goes on in Washington will never better until each a responsible citizen at home. , Frances Lyne An explanation Editor: It has been brought to my attention that the Rappahannock newspaper stated I left the Supervisors meeting early on July 3, 1974. I would like the public to know the reason I left a few minutes early. My daughter had just been operated on in the Charlottesville Hospital. We left in order to make it for the first visiting hours.

T H EL I T T L E F 0 X Culpeper Conservation District wins CULPEPER Soil and Water Conservation District is the first place winneramong Virginia districts that competed in the 27th annual Good-year Conservation Awards Program. The district took top honors for planning and management of its natural resources development program in a contest sponsored by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in co-operation with the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD). Selection of the winner was made by an independent committee of state agricultural leaders. Giles H. Miller, Jr., Culpeper, selected by the District for his outstanding contribution to conservation, and Overton Weaver of Madison County, a member of the District Governing Board, will receive expense-paid, vacation-study trips to Marco Island, Fla. in December of this year. They will be joined by 104 representatives of ohter first place Districts throughout the United States. L. B. HENRETTY, now Chairman of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, served last year as Chairman of the local Goodyear committee, along with Harold Estes of Greene County and David Poe, local District Conservationist. The Culpeper District embraces the counties of Culpeper, Orange, Madison, Greene and Rappahannock with headquarters in Culpeper. Plaques will be presented to the winning district and to the runner-up at a meeting of the state asso Needed Social Security data explained PEOPLE MAY be asked to prove their age, identity, and citizenship to get a social security number when applying for the first time, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. The proof is required under an amendment to the social security law. “The requirement affects native United States citizens, naturalized citizens, and aliens,” she said. People can apply for a social security number by writing or visiting any social security office. Application forms are available at social security offices and post offices. “Age can usually be proved with a birth or baptis-v mil ^certificate,” Mrs. C r umpton*- 53jd • ' * Identity can generally -proved with a driver’s license, voter’s card, or similar evidence PEOPLE BORN in the United States can usually establish citizenship with the same papers they use to prove their age and identity, she said. People applying for duplicate social security numbers because theyJve lost their social security cards or changed their name generally aren’t affected by the proof requirement, according to Mrs. Crumpton. The proof requirement is intended to help prevent people from obtaining more than one social security ing a social security card under a false identity, she added. A fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment of up to one year, or both may be imposed for fraudulent use of genuine or fake social security numbers to hide true identity or to get benefits from Federally funded programs. “Your social security number is yours alone and remains the same for life. You build retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare protection for yourself and your family by work and earnings credited to your social security number. Using more than one number could mean you’re not getting full credit, which could adversely affect your social, security payments in the future.” “YOU SHOULD apply for a social security number several weeks before you need it,” Mrs. Crumpton said. “Applications are generally screened against CARD OF THANKS The Washington Volunteer Fire Dept, and Rescue Squad want to thank every one that helped during our carnival this year, by donations of money, prizes and your unlimited time. We thank you all!

Watermelons are a tasty summer treat BY WESLEY P. JUDKINS Virginia Tech Extension Horticulturist A SLICE of ice cold watermelon is an ideal refresher on a hot day. This delicious treat not only quenches your thirst, it contains just enoygh calories to give a slight pick-up in energy without contributing to your weight control problem. Watermelons belong to the gourd family along with cucumbers, muskmelons, pumpkins and squash. The hairy, trailing stems may grow to a length of 12 or 15 feet. The watermelon is native to tropical North Africa' where it has been grown since prehistoric times. Pictures on pottery and in tombs indicate that this crop was common in anceint Egypt. Watermelons have been cultivated in countries around the Mediterranean, and as far east as India, for several thousand years. They are an important source of water for human consumption in many semiarid regions. The early colonists brought seeds of watermelon with them when they first came to America. This vegetable is now one of the most important crops in the U. S. Although watermelons are considered as a vegetable crop the edible product is actually a fruit. To be quite specific, it is a This TV antenna was much the worse for -wear after a wind storm last Wednesday in the Washington area. The guy wire of the antenna was attached to a tree which split in half and the wind whipped the tall metal pole almost double. Numerous tree limbs fell across the roads and in yards and fields as the sudden severe winds rushed through the town and surrounding area. very large berry because the flesh is entirely soft like a grape, tomato, eggplant, or blueberry. THE SMALL ice box watermelons are the best type for the home garden. The mature fruits weigh from six to eight pounds, and mature in about 80 days. The vines are less vigorous than the standard types / and are easier to control. Some of the best icebox melons are Petite Sweet and Sugar Baby. These are not only fine for the home vegetable garden, they are also becoming popular for commercial production to supply watermelons of convenient size for the market. If you plant watermelons, be sure to select varieties which are resistant to anthracnose and fusarium wilt diseases. If these diseases are not controlled, you may lose you entire crop. Seedless watermelons are a unique and interesting development. They were produced first in Japan, but several good varieties ar6 now available in this country. THE SEEDS for the original seedless types were very expensive and germinated rather poorly. Some of the newer seedless hybrids are less costly and germinate ' much better. The quality has been improved and these may becojne quite important for home garden or commercial production. One serious problem in growing watermelons is determining when they are mature. Changes in size and color do not indicate ripeness. They are usually ready to harvest when the spot where they contact the ground changes FURNITURE The Opportunity Industry Choosing your career or occupation is one of the most important decisions you wil ever have to make.

At maturity the tendrils become dry and brown, and the melon has a dull tone when thumped. Watermelons are used primarily as a dessert food in a fresh, chilled condition. They are not an important source of nutrients, but do supply useful! _ amounts of vitamin A. As the name suggests, watermelons contain a high percentage of water. They contain about 92 per cent water which is actually less than several other vegetables such a£ asparagus, with 93, celery 94, lettuce, 95, and cucumber 96.□ Vesper Service THE CHOIR of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.

Specifically, the ACU cited the Congressman’s votes to “stem inflation by cutting excessive government spending, reduce the Federal bureaucracy, and strengthen national defense.” Robinson received a 96 percent conservative rating on ACU’s Key Issues Index for the 93rd Congress. The rating was based on 20 key votes taken in the House during 1973. ACU further praised the Congressman as a leader in the efforts to organize House conservatives for greater effectiveness. “At a time when concern for the fate and fundamental direction of the American political process is so great, the voting pubdamental direction of the American political process is so great, the voting public deserves to know where their elected representatives stand, unequivocally and without hesitation,” declared ACU Chairman, M.

Alvin Atkins Friendship quilts FEW THINGS are more personal yet practical than quilts. For this reason, many early American women thought of quilts as fine gifts and gave them often. “Since each person usually went her own way in designing her block, friendship quilts were offerings from the heart rather than artistic masterpieces because of the dizzying effect that resulted when all blocks were sewn together,” noted Katherine L. Habel, assistant professor in clothing, textiles, and Home repairs If you have faucets that drip, screens with holes and other household problems, learn how to repair these aggravations from Cecil D. Wheary, Extension Specialist from VPI and SU in Blacksburg. He will be giving a program on ‘ ‘Simple Home Repairs” on July 23, at 10 a.m. in the Parrish Hall in Washington. The public js invited. For information call Mrs. Llewellyn B. Allison at the County Extension Office, 675-3619.C related art at Virginia Tech. If a basic color scheme and design concepl had been agreed upon the quilt could be exceptionally beautiful, noted Ms. Habel, an Extension specialist in home furnishings. “Many of these quilts were intended to be tangible memories. As families moved west, a friendship quilt became a treasured reminder of homes left behind,” she said. Sometimes each block was signed by its maker, then embroidered so the signature would last. AT TIMES, individual blocks were exchanged between friends. On other occasions, ladies presented their work at formal gatherings to the person being honored. “Often girls would make a friendship quilt for an engaged friend as a wedding present,” the Tech Extension specialist said. Friendship quilts can be personalized in many ways. The square itself is, of course, the product of a* friend’s skill and can include her signature, a brief noted, or a favorite recipe. Possibilities are endless, she said.D Familiar Faces From Page 1 Brown is only 67. “But I thought 25 years was long enough and I wanted to retire while I could still be some good to myself at home.” Mrs. Brown hopes to spend her new found spare time sowing and traveling. She wants to visit her brother in Ohio this summer and perhaps go to Hawaii later. “And then, of course, I want to get around and visit all my children.” Travel will not be new for Mrs. Brown. Last summer she spent several weeks in Europe, but she said she doesn’t want to go back there. ALVIN ATKINS from Sperryville retired this year after working at Rappahannock High School for 14 years. “Just cleaning and moving furniture all year,” Mr. Atkins said, describing his work. But teachers at the high school thought Mr. Atkins had done Catherine Brown Arthlinda Quaintance an especially fine job and they gave him a large silver tray, commemorating his years of dependable service. “I expect I’ll stay busy with some odd-and-end jobs,” Atkins said. “And I have a head or two of calves that I can spend some time with. My wife’s been taking care of them for me and I thought it was time to give her a rest.” “Sometimes those kids were aggravating, when I had to scoop up ice cream or a bottle of pop off the gym floor,” he said. “But they were good to me and I’ll miss them.” MRS. ARTHLINDA Quaintance, also from Sperryville, retired after teaching nine years in the elementary school. But she’ll be keeping in touch with what goes on in Rappahannock’s schools; Mrs. Quaintance has been appointed to the school board to fill out the term of Verdie Jones. Before coming to Rappahannock, Mrs. Quaintance’s husband’s home county, nine years ago, she taught school in New Jersey. Mrs. Dorothy Riddleburger of Front Royal was another retiree. Mrs. Riddleburger had taught the third grade at Rappahannock Elementary School for six years. “I’m looking forward to some travel, some bridge and a lot of golf,” she said. “There’s plenty I can do to stay busy.” Mrs. Riddleburger has lived in Front Royal for 35 years.□ HDNTLT NEWS Mrs. Ashby Grimsley is convalescing at home following a three-day stay in Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal.

G. Wayne Burkhart, associate professor of agricultural economics and Extension specialist in farm management at Virginia Tech, said that having accurate and detailed records will make it easy for farmers to comply with the federal agency’s request. The Bureau of Census is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Social and Economic Statistics Administration, Burkhart said. The Tech specialist said that farmers will receive their report forms by mail early next January and that they should fill them out and mail them back promptly. Questions, Burkhart said, will be much like those in the last agriculture census which covered farming and ranching during 1969. THE IMPORTANT thing, the Extension specialist stressed, is to keep good records of your farming operations this year. Questions will ask for acreage of cropland harvested, quantity and market value of major crops produced, acres irrigated and means of irrigation, acreage treated with pesticides, lime and other chemicals, acreage fertilized by kind of fertilizer, (dry, liquid, gas.) Questions on livestock and poultry will cover the number of each kind on the farm as well as the number sold and the sales value, the specialist noted. Quantitites and sales value of their products will also be sought, he added. _ Details will also, be requested about farm products produced or marketed under contract and a few questions will be included about hired and contract labor, the number of workers and cash wages paid and about any injuries to workers, the Tech farm management specialist said. Further expenditure questions will cover amounts spent for feed, fertilizer, pesticides, lime, gasoline, and other farm fuels, machine hire, and livestock and poultry purchases, Burkhart said. There will be questions about the various types and uses of land, such as cropland not harvested, other pasture and woodland, and about the value of land and buildings on the farm. Operators will be asked about farm related income such as recreational services, customwork provided other farmers, or payments for participation in government farm programs. THE TWO types of report .forms being prepared include one for farms with sales of $2,500 or more and other less detailed from for farms with sales of less than $2,500, Burkhart said. He added, however, that no matter which form a farmer receives, he need answer only those questions that apply to his operation. He should skip those questions related to other agricultural operations. The Tech specialist noted that by federal law every report is confidential. It may be seen only by sworn Census employes and may be used only for statistical purposes. The mail method reinforces confidentiality, Burkhart said, and also allows the farmer to complete the report at his convenience with accurate^!**formation from his "records., □— MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC.

Mrs. Evelyn Hickerson was hostess Saturday morning to her Sunday Sch Hitchhiking is taboo on farm equipment HITCHHIKING, a dangerous activity on the highway, is doubly hazardous on farm implements. Every year, young farm equipment riders are injured or killed in accidents, usually due to falls from the vehicle into the path of tractor wheels or trailing equipment, J. Lawrence Calhoun, professor of agricultural engineering at Virginia Tech, cautioned. Calhoun, project leader for agricultural engineering in Tech’s Extension Division, offered a few simple safety suggestions to prevent this type of accident: Keep children off and away from farm machinery. Never permit them to ride or offer them rides. Never permit a family worker or employe to let children ride. “Before moving, be sure that no children have climbed aboard without Castleton lists prize winners The Castleton Firemens carnival closed Saturday night and prizes were awarded.

And make a 360degree inspection on the ground to be sure tykes aren’t under the vehicle, he said. “A tractor is not a place to babysit. Arrange for proper child care if you have small children to care for but must operate farm machinery,” the Extension leader urged. A HARD JOLT, lurch, or sharp turn can throw an adult off a tractor just as quickly as a child, he observed. “Make it a rule that no one is to be on farm equipment except those who are necessary for its operation or the job being done,” Calhoun said. Workers being transported in wagons, etc., should be required to sit or hold on tight. “Never let anyone ride atop a loaded wagon. Make arrangements for transporting people to and from worksites other than by letting them hang onto tractors,” he stressed. “When training a new operator, make certain that you choose the most secure place to ride, with provision for good handholds and footing. Be prepared for bumps, sudden starts and stops, and erratic maneuvers,” he said. Equip your tractor with a protective cab, Calhoun advised. Though it’s best to enforce a “no riders” rule, a passenger in a cab is much less likely to get thrown off and run over, he explained. □ CARD OF THANKS We would like to take this opportunity to thank the doctors and nurses of the Lynn Center and Shawnee Spring Nursing Home for their care, friends and relatives for their many acts of kindness during the long illness and loss of our husband and father.

Service wrote these lines: “My father, Christmas passed away When I was barely seven. At twenty-one, alack-a-day, I lost my hope of heaven. Yet not in either lies the curse, The h--l of it’s because I don’t know which loss hurts the worse— My God or Santa Claus.” What is heaven? A state of mind, peaceful sleep, an advanced state in reincarnation? Most of us believe in an after-life, what will it be like? Someone has said: “If a man’s reach does not exceed his grasp, what’s a heaven for?” If a man’s mental reach does not exceed his physical grasp, what IS a heaven for? The end of the rainbow—its more than that. A rainbow is just sunshine through misty rain, intangible. Heaven must be real; that is to the immortal soul. Losing God? We might lose our faith in Santa Claus and the Easter rabbit, but you can’t lose God, He is never Host. Some times we lose our realization of Him but He is ever there, manifesiiftg. ifivaried ways, ever before us, beckoning” us on.D TV SERVICE All Makes and Models Amissville, Flint Hill, Washington & vacinity Solid State Specialists Color and Black and White Antennae Installations and Sales AMISSVILLE nnntnHiiiiifmiimmiiiiiiimiHiiiiiiiiimtitiiiiiintiiiit RADIO t TV SERVICE AmUtvilU, Va. *37-4704 ’

Taylor, Chairman, Rappahannock County ASC Committee. He explained that disaster payments are available this year for the first time if feed grain and wheat allotment production is lost or substantially damaged by natural disaster. Such payments are not meant to compensate a farmer fully for the loss, the ASCS official said, but can provide some income following a major crop loss. Disaster payments can be made only to farmers with feed grain and wheat allotments who have signed up and certified their acres under the 1974 farm programs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Signup and certification must be accomplished before harvesting and no later than July 15. The programs are open to all eligible farmers without regard to race, sex, color, religion, or national SHOULD ANY eligible Rappahannock county farmer suffer substantial crop damage because of a natural disaster this year, he should file a report immediately with the county ASCS office. Until the ASCS office verifies the production, acreage, and damage, he should not dispose of the crop residue in any way even though he has harvested the crop. “This caution is included in the disaster leaflet, along with other needed information. Make sure you know about disaster payment provisions and keep the leaflet handy, just in case,” advised Taylor.□ FLINT HILL FIREMEN’S JULY 31 thru AUG. 3 Wed. July 31 ♦ FIREWORKS Thurs.

Watson. Jenkins received a minor injury and was cited for reckless driving. Full crop production urged “IT SHOULD not be necessary to ask farmers to idle land in 1975,” Kenneth E. Frick told farm leaders in reference to government programs for wheat and feed grains. Last July, Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz announced the lifting of all acreage set-aside (idling) provisions for 1974 programs. Frick said the current grain production and demand outlook indicates a need for continuation of a full production policy in 1975. “There are two main reasons we should be able to continue our ‘hands-off’ policy in farmers’ produc lion plans, auuiumg uj Frick, Administrator of the U. D. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. “First of all, we plan to keep the government out of the commodity business, and leave stocks in private hands,” Frick told members of the National Association of Farmer-Elected Committeemen. “This will result in less government interference in farm markets, lower cost to taxpayers, antlgreater dependence on the market place, not government, by farmers for their incomes.1’ “Second, the high demand for U. S. Agricultural Products at home and abroad will continue.” He indicated current projections for U. S. Farm Exports were probably low. “THE U. S. is no longer the world’s residual supplier of farm products. We have the best exporting system and the world’s most efficient farm production. As a result, we have become the most de pendable food and fiber supplier. There is no reason why we cannot maintain our role as the world’s number one agricultural supplier.” ‘‘The efficiency and productivity of the American farmer has also allowed us to maintain our domestic and world humanitarian role,” Frick added. Frick noted that federal costs have been greatly reduced as a result of market-oriented farm programs. ‘‘Because of reduced payments for programs and for storage of government-owned stocks, the farm program share of the USDA budget has been reduced from about 40 percent to an estimated five percent. for the current budget.” He noted that farm eltxciency has been helped two ways by the turnaround in farm policy. “Farmers have the freedom to choose the crops they feel they can. grow best for the most return,” Frick said, “and full production farming allows for economies of volume.” Among the other options for 1975 programs Frick discussed with the farm groups were commodity loans made to farmers for interim financing and the government’s sales policy for disposing of commodities acquired under the programs. FRICK SAID government planners are discussing the possibility of .setting the sales price for government-owned grains at 115 percent of the target price for the commodity involved. Target prices are prices established by law as a basis for payments to farmers, should average market prices fall below prescribed target levels. He also said the government was considering a change in provisions to offer loans for a 12 month period only, with no loan extension, or “reseal,” as has been often offered in the past. “The resealing of production under loan re presents a non-decision on the part of farmers in marketing their crops,” Frick said. Frick said he expected complete farm program provisions could be announced soon, early enough for farmers to have time to plan for 1975 production. □ School Board appointments THE Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board, meeting July 12, re-appointed one member and appointed a new member to fill an unexpired term on the Rappahannock County School Board.
