Rappahannock News, August 1, 1974

Apple crop good in Rappahannock APPLE PRODUCTION may be down this year in Virginia orchards, but in Rappahannock County the production is expected to hold about the same as la£t year. Rappahannock’s Extension Agent Rapley Owings said he expected production this year to about equal last year’s 580,000 bushels. He said Rappahannock orchards had little or no spring frost damage, but he added that present dry weather may affect the size of the fruit. But, said Owings, the color and the flavor of this year’s apples should be excellent, particularly if there is a cool fall season. In Clarke and Frederick County, orchards suffered spring frost damage and production is expected to be down this year, according to the Frederick County Fruit Growers Association, Inc. An Association spokesman said the crop this year is expected to be about 3,700,000 bushels, compared with a production of 4,580,000 bushels for the two counties last year. Like orchards in Rappahannock, orchards in Clarke and Frederick are suffering from dry weather, which may reduce the size of the fruit. □ Comprehensive plan studies begin RAPPAHANNOCK’S Supervisors are scheduled to talk about a comprehensive plan for the county at their meeting today (Thursday). The county Planning Commissioners have done some preliminary work on the plan and hope to have a “goals statement’ ’ ready by next month. But now they are asking the Supervisors to pay half the cost of hiring the Piedmont Environmental Council, which is headquartered in Warrenton, to prepare an “environmental inventory’’ of Rappahannock County. An environmental inventory embraces a study of topography, watersheds, wildlife habitat, scenic and critical environmental areas. Some of this information is already available, according to Fanning Baumgardner, clerk to the Planning Commission. In that case, the Piedmont Environmental Council would analyze the material. / Dinsmoor White, executive director of PEC, said that the council’s work would provide the Planning Commission “with the kind of information relative to their master plan effort.” That was quite different from actually drafting the plan, he said. “After completing the inventory, we will be able to make suggestions on where Rappahannock should grow, what areas should be preserved and what kind of growth is or is nor appropriate,” White said. IN ADDITION to an environmental inventory, the Planning Commission will consider the opinions of county citizens to determine how the county should grow. Twenty-three letters have been sent to civic organizations, ranging from all the library to the Trail Riders to the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, asking for Flint Hill carnival parade is tonight WENDING their way through Flint Hill this evening (Thursday) will be numerous bands, floats, marching units, fire and rescue equipment as the annual Flint Hill Fire Company parade gets under way. The annual carnival opened last night and will continue through Saturday. Featured in the parade will be 1974 Miss Virginia, Stephanie Ann Dowdy of Virginia Beach, who will act as grand marshal. The U.S. 75th Army Band will lead the procession. A large selection of rides dominate the midway, while concessions, games and amusements line the area. The food stand will feature a box supper parade night and hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, coffee, drinks, cake and other confections will be available each night. The Virginia Highway Department exhibit will be on display along with an exhibit by the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, and may be seen each night. comments on what direction growth and development in Rappahannock' should take. About six organizations have answered, several offering detailed suggestions, Baumgardner said. The Piedmont Environ mental Council has a federal grant which pays half of the cost of making such a study. So Rappahannock will be asked to provide the remaining funds, Baumgardner said; that will amount to approximately $1,500, he thought. Jim White of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission Staff will also be working with the Planning Commission, Baumgardner said. The Commissioners are now meeting on the third Wednesday of each month. Cheryl and Tammy Settle along with Carol Foster try a seat on the Tilt-o-Whirl Wednesday morning, just awaiting time for the official opening of the four-night carnival which continues through Saturday.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Bureaucratic growth WHEN THE RAPPAHANNOCK-Rapidan Planning District was organized, this newspaper urged great caution on the part of the county in deciding to enter into such a regional arrangement. Part of the reason for distaste over the regional concept was the somewhat ambiguous circumstances of the state government’s espousal of the system—first they said it would only be an “advisory” arrangement, and then it seemed that another layer of government was what was really intended—and because of the none too subtle arm-twisting that was employed to force local governments to join in. It was put quite bluntly. Either counties and towns agreed to join a regional “planning district,” or their chances of qualifying for fat federal and state grants would be scant. There was the additional distaste about creation of still another bureaucracy. Citizens of Rappahannock have been blessed in this respect, have only second-hand knowledge of how local bureaucracy can run rampant. But in counties which have experienced “growth” and “development,” the problem is acute, to the point where it can create confusion about whether the bureaucracy was created to serve the needs of a growing community, or whether growth has been fostered to sustain the bureaucracy. IT WAS, THEREFORE, gratifying to see the Planning District’s commissioners, at their last meeting, resist bureaucratic suggestions that the bureaucracy already created be enlarged again. There was a strong message flashed from the members of the commission that they feel enough is enough where the process of constantly adding persons to the payroll is concerned, and that it doesn’t make all that much difference that the payroll might be met—temporarily, atleast—by grants. These “temporary” positions can be especially tricky, as can “temporary” or “pilot” programs of one sort or another. Once the man is put on the payroll, the pressure to keep him there starts mounting immediately; and once a “pilot” program is inaugurated, the pressures to make the programs permanent, with or without “grant” funds, can create sticky political problems. Rappahannock’s representatives on the planning district commission were among the most forceful advocates of keeping the district’s bureaucracy at a minimum, level. Let us hope they continue to enjoy support from their colleagues.□ Page 2 “Close-ups No correct replies to the Close-Up photo last week were received. The object was a serrated knife. Try this one.

Disability program MORE THAN 3 1/2 million disabled workers and their families are getting monthly payments as the social security disability program begins its 17th year this month, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester. “Only disabled workers between 50 and 65 were eligible when the first social security disability benefits were paid in July 1957,” Mrs. Crumpton added. “Today, workers of any age under 65 as well as dependent members of their families can have the protection of disability insurance,” she added. “Since July of last year, Medicare health insurance has been available to disabled people if they’ve been entitled to social security disability payments 24 or more consecutive months.” An insured worKer necomes eligible for payments if he suffers a severe disability expected to keep him for working a year or longer. Payment begins for the 6th full month of disability. GENERALLY, a worker who becomes disabled in 1974 must have worked 5 3/4 years in employment covered by social security to be insured. Five years of the work must have been during the 10-year period before the disability began. Young workers, however, may be eligible for disability payments with as little as 1 1/2 years of work, depending on their age and when they become disabled. - “An individual 24 to 31 needs work credits for half the period between the time he became 21 and the time he became disabled,” Mrs. Crumpton explained. ‘‘Before age 24, a worker needs credit for only 1 1/2 years of work in the 3 year period before his disability began.” When applying for social 1 Subscribers Recent new and renewing subscribers to the Rappahannock News are acknowledged with appreciation and include Mrs. Shelton Grimsley, Mrs. Randolph Cockey, Chuck and Nan Perdue, B.

Physicians and other disability experts in the Virginia Department of Vocational Rehabilitation decide whether the worker is disabled under the social security law. “IN MOST cases,” Mrs. Crumpton said, “the Vocational Rehabilitation Department can decide on the basis of medical evidence from the applicant’s physician. If more evidence is needed, additional medical tests may be required at the Government’s expense.” In selected cases, social security helps pay for vocational rehabilitation services, which can include job training and physical therapy. Social security disability benefits are paid to over 2 million disabled workers and over 1 1/2 million dependents. The average payment is $205 a month. About 1.8 million people getting social security disability payments have Medicare coverage, according to Mrs. Crumpton.

According to the records in England, it did not receive a name until 1796. M. W. Thursday, August 1, 1974

T H E L I T T L E F 0 X Controlling a regional bureaucracy ONE OF THE FEARS of rural legislators when the State of Virginia established “planning districts”—and told everyone that if they didn’t join they couldn’t get any grant goodies—was that a major consequence of “planning districts” would be little more than the establishment of another bureaucracy. State, local and federal bureaucracies were enough, insisted some holdouts from “regionalism.” It’s still enough, members of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission made clear at their meeting last Thursday night at Grave’s Mountain Lodge at Syria, in Madison County. A regional bureaucracy has sprouted, to be sure, but the commissioners made it clear that they don’t intend to let it blossom unchecked. The question came up over how io conauci a manpower siuay. Conducting studies seems to be a favorite occupation of regional planning commission people. This one would cost about $20,000, said Commission Chairman Richard McNear of Fauquier, and the questions was whether they wanted to hire an additional staff member for a year, or have the study done by a consultant. (The sum of $20,000, incidentally, seems to fit another pattern; more than one study, all costing something like $20,000, was mentioned during the course of the evening meeting.) Keene Byrd of Albemarle, executive director and chairman of the Manpower Board which now serves Planning Districts 9 and 10, made a strong pitch for hiring another staff member. In fact, he wasn’t even positive that an option exists; he wasn’t sure it would be possible to hire a consulting firm to do the job. MCNEAR AND PETE LUKE of Rappahannock, however, liked the prospect of hiring a consultant. For one thing, such a person wouldn’t require the hiring of still another secretary, and he wouldn’t need office space. A commissioner from Orange also worried that at the end of the year’s study, it might be necessary to “find a place’’for the staff addition. Keene Byrd—a classic modern bureaucrat, glib, mod haircut and stretch suit—made the case for another bureaucrat in a little talk sprinkled liberally with bureaucratic cliches. He was full of concern about District 9 getting “its fair share” of federal grant boodles, and by having their own man, this would be easier, he insisted. “Skill areas,” he talked about; developing manpower needs and future needs that will help your community grow,” he identified as a requirement; “summer programs,” and “expertise to get the money” are also needed, he said, and he warned of how other districts are in keen competition for such grants. Pete Luke was unconvinced. Bryd came right back, confessing to an aversion to consultants: “They borrow your watch to tell you what time it is.” He went on to tell of how the study would pinpoint District 9’s needs for manpower training, whether it be for carpenters, mechanics, nursing aides, or whatever. He talked of “money flow,” and when Luke objected that many people being trained now only move away for jobs elsewhere, Byrd characterized this as nothing more than “the American way—if you want to get there, you’ve got to move around.” Arthqr Warren, executive director of the planning district, put in the helpful word that he knew of a few individuals who would be qualified to conduct the needed study, and wondered if a qualified consultant could even be found. He said he knew of one particularly good man in Virginia. “A MAN FROM NORFOLK would be no more adjusted to local problems than a man from Philadelphia,” objected Pete Luke, as Byrd still argued that a local staff member would be the best course to take. Luke was unconvinced, and he didn’t share Byrd’s horror that a ‘‘state planner” might step in to conduct the study if the Planning District didn’t hire its own man. ‘‘What’s wrong with that?” asked Pete Luke. Warren tried to smooth things over. ‘‘A planner is only a consultant if he only stays a year,” he said, and wondered if hiring a consultant was an ‘‘allowable alternative” for receiving the planning grant fund’s. Only Bob Miller of Culpeper seemed to agree with Keene Byrd, however—and A1 Williams, a welfare director from Madison, who isn’t a member of the commission. All the others took turns making comments that put them on the side of keeping the size of their new bureaucracy at a minimum, wherever possible. Fauquier’s David Botts had a broad question about the entire proposed study: “What real help would it do for a rural area? We’re awfully short on help now. We can’t hardly get a car inspection, help in the store, or... Would this have an effect on job situations like that?” “TRAIN PEOPLE AND they’ll go away where they can get the most money,” said Pete Luke. “We educate and train people in Rappahannock, and they go to Fauquier. The same thing happens in Fauquier, only they go to Prince William or Fairfax. This is what bothers me. A program like this helps individuals, but 90 per cent of our high school graduates still leave the county.” “And then come back and farm in 15 or 20 years,” added someone else. Byrd waited everyone out and continued in his same vein, arguing for the staff expansion. “A staff person is to lend you something you don’t have. I know of a lot of consultant’s reports that are just sitting on shelves, gathering dust. ” Luke mentioned a rural transportation study already underway, and noted “that that’s a consultant study, just as big as the devil.” A1 Williams agreed, adding that the arrangement had also resulted in “some disappointments; I have some gripes about that I don’t think I’d have if the man were on your staff.” Richard McNear finally suggested that any action be delayed, so that Warren could ascertain—as a first step—whether the “consultant alternate” was even open. Ed Brower of Warrenton made the motion, with Fauquier’s John B. Adams adding a final note on regionalism: “If there is no option, then what’s the use of having this group?” A PROPOSED “initial housing See Page 15 n VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS Have opening Sept. 1, 1974 for the following,position: HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT OPERATOR Beginning salary $2.60 per hour immediately; | QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY: Ability to operate| and selected equipment and routine main-g: See on ^hway.

Major and Mrs. Paul Tips for picking vegetables WHEN TO PICK vegetables is one of the problems that often perplexes home gardeners. It isn’t hard to know, says Charles R. O’Dell, assistant professor in horticulture at Virginia Tech. Here are a few tips that will come in handy, O’Dell, Extension specialist in small fruit and vegetable production, said. Snap or green beans are best when pods snap readily. Lima beans should be picked while still green and end of nod is sporgy. Both snap and lima beans are picked before the seeds mature. Small to medium beets are best. Large, rough roots are likely to be tough and woody and have light and dark internal rings. Pick broccoli before the flowers show color. Cabbage heads should be firm and heavy for their size. Carrots are ready any time that roots are firm and brittle. Remove all but 1/4 inch of tops to preserve moisture and sugar in roots. Celery is best when medium sized and snaps easily. If allowed to go .to seed, the stem and stalks are likely to be bitter. CORN IS SWEETEST just as silk starts to dry or when the juice in the kernel appears milky when punctured with the thumbnail. Pick in the afternoon and cook immediately. Cucumbers should be harvested before they lose their firm, crisp look. Yellowing indicates age. Cucumbers from diseased or (lying vines often are bitter tasting. Lettuce should be used before seed stem appears. It becomes bitter then. Peas lose sweetness and flavor early. Pick when pods are fairly well filled and bright green. Peppers are best when mature, firm and of good green color. Red color indicates further maturity and can be used. Use radishes while still firm, before a slight squeeze shows them to be spongy or pithy. Summer squash should be harvested when young and tender, before the shell hardens. Leaving old squash fruits on the vine reduces later yields of the plant. Winter and fall squash should be harvested when the rinds are hard enough so they cannot be dug into readily with the finger nail. PICK THE leaves of swiss chard and spinach while they are still crisp and tender with no signs of yellowing. Tomatoes are best when firm, vine-ripened, and fully colored. Dig turnips when moderately large, firm, and heavy. Potatoes for storage should not be dug until vines have died down of old age, so that skins are fully matured to improve storage life. Dig onions for storage after tops have died down. Do not store in cellar until onions have been cured for 7-10 days in a wellventilated area at a temperature of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. An attic is an excellent onion “curing room,” O’Dell said.D Thompson of Fork Union spent from Saturday to Monday with Mr. and Mrs. Rodes Brown. Mrs. Larry Oden and her granddaughter, Mary Jane Martin returned returned Sunday to their respective home in Sharpsburg, Md., and Martinsburg, W.

Controlling a regional bureaucracy From Page 3 element” — that is, to translate from the bureaucratese, a study of housing conditions in the region —was discussed, and some refinements were suggested. Richard McNear explained that a final study would be needed, if the region were to ever be qualified to received federal grants through HUD, adding the comment: “In principle, it’s a good job, but I have a little problem concerning some of the specifics —perhaps more a question of semantics than anything else. There are also some things that shouldn’t be in it at all.” One thing that should be deleted, he thought, was a phrase stating that uniformity of zoning and subdivision controls should be sought throughout the entire region. McNear added: “I also thought the report is a little overly harsh on the impact of land use planning controls on the cost of housing, and of how this had made less land available for housing. It depends on how you zone. It also doesn’t express the economies that may be realized through land use controls. I would have to disagree with that part of the report. I’d hazard the guess that places with no controls have the same problems with low and moderate income housing as places with modern land use control policies.” John B. Adams agreed that the report needed more study, and Warren suggested that subcommittees be formed to deal with such complicated matters as the “housing element.” SEVERAL PERSONS took turns criticizing the rural transportation study, which is supposed to be under way in Fauquier. Supervisor Sanford of Orange said “if I were from Fauquier, I’d certainly object to the phrases in the proposed study about ‘rural pockets of poverty.’” David Botts and McNear agreed. Pete Luke noted that there had already been a rural transportation study in Madison, and he wondered why another one was needed. “That study was to identify the need,” said McNear. “Hell, I know there’s a need. You don’t need a study for that,” said Pete Luke. A1 Williams admitted that “all of us got turned off” in Madison by the study, and he described some difficulties they had suffered. And Luke worried again about what would happen to a grantsupported program if the grant funds dried up. McNear reported to the entire commission that Fauquier’s Supervisors are sort of lukewarm about the study, but willing to go along to see what rlpvplnn^ John Jones, the district’s “criminal justice planner,” wanted authority to ask for a $20,000 grant to study whether a regional jail is needed. He had Sheriff Lillard of Madison and Sheriff Peters of Culpeper with him, and they thought the study would be useful. “GIVE ME SOME good points about why we need this study,” Pete Luke asked. “You need a jail,” said Jones. “I don’t know that we need a jail,” said Luke. “Is John Walker (Jenkins, Rappahannock’s Sheriff) in favor?” “I think he is,” said Jones. “The jail in Orange was built in 1852.” Commission action was tabled pending a sounding of member jurisdictions. Jones explained, as a parting shot, that the $20,000 study could be pretty detailed, even to picking a possible site. Finally, with the flurry over bureaucratic expansion still fresh in everyone’s minds, Richard McNear would up the meeting with a rundown of some planning district activities, the sort of thing which he said he thought made the district worthwhile. THESE PROJECTS included a study of zoning, trailer controls, bonding and non-conforming use controls in Madison; a study of trailer controls in Culpeper; a study of special use permits and zoning changes in Orange; a study of county goals and objectives for a master plan in Rappahannock; zoning and code revisions in Warrenton. Projects coming up, said McNear, include help in drawing up a “development impact’’ study for Culpeper; air quality standards for Fauquier; master plans for Orange and Rappahannock; and revision of Warrenton’s zoning map. — Ray Dilley OBITUARIES Mrs. Griffith Mrs. Annie Bruce Griffith of Culpeper died Monday July 29, 1974 in a Culpeper nursing home.

Si Sez “HE IS NEVER HOST.” A typographical error. But let us examine the word HOST. A large number; He is ONE, and yet He is everything. A keeper or proprietor: He is the keeper of the universe, an organism that gives nourishment to a parasite. How many of us are parasites, feeding off the eternal prodigality of God’s love? The consecrated bread used at Communion: He is the bread of life. The phrase should have been, “He is never lost.” but there might be a thought here, a good thought—He is always our HOST. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time some people bought some black dogs because they thought it would be a good investment. They soon learned that they were more of a liability than an asset, so they turned them loose. However, the people kept supplying the dogs with food and trying to provide the necessities of life for them. But, these dogs began to run in packs and destroy things. A few of the dogs got together and reasoned this way—“These people are being good to us and have given us many things; why should we bite the hand that feeds' us?” So they made a pact to destroy the ringleaders of the dogs that were running wild. They actually did kill a few. Now, here is the rub: The people thought that the cogs wno were crying co protect uiem wete uic actual villains. Isn’t that a crazy story—or is it? Realized a bit of nostalgia yesterday. Drove over to a neighboring town to see an old choo-choo train. It looked about the same, but there was a certain amount of modernization. Whereas the conducter used to signal the engine crew with the signal cord, they now employ walkie talkies. But, the whistle sounds just as loud, the bell clangs just as melodiously, and the smoke is just as black as it was in a bygone day. People still go down to the station to watch the train come in. One man was recording the noise, he said; “It’s a good sound.” I asked someone if he thought that God might let us have an old choo-choo over on the back side of heaven. He thought it was a good idea.Q COUNTRY CUPBOARDS , your local cabinet and furniture shop, now has a second.phone number for your calls. Try either 675-3719 or 675-3473. Thank you for your patronage.

RAPP CHATS BY RAP OWINGS, EXT. AGENT FEEDER CATTLE SALES—This fall’s series of special feeder cattle sales will start the' latter half of September and wind up the end of October. Area yearling sales will start on September 19 at Culpeper and Marshall followed by Winchester on the 20th. The Culpeper and Marshall feeder calf sales will be September 26. The special sales season will wind up with Culpeper and Marshall sales October 31 and Winchester November 1. A large run of feeders are expected and anything we can do to see that these cattle are marketed in an orderly, competitive manner should help. And with prices being what they are we need all the help we can get. Entries for the early sales are due in by August 9. For further information contact your Extension Office. VEGETABLE GARDENING—Looking over the garden wail the main problem this year has been the weather. For many of our garden varieties, it has been a season of excesses. Unseasonably warm and dry in early spring, turning cold and wet followed by a prolonged dry spell. In some cases pollination was reduced and seemed like those first tomatoes and early roasting ears would never ripen. Topping the list of vegetable diseases is the bean mosaic virus. Yellow mottling, distortion of the leaves, is typical. This is a seed-born disease for which there is no chemical control. The leading insect enemy has been the flea bettle. This tiny, black flea-like critter started earlier, and is staying latter and in larger numbers than I ever remember. Looking at the county as a whole, the Japanese bettle population, after the first flush has tapered off. I believe the Japanese Beetle population peaked out last year and for at least the next several years their numbers will continue to decline, regardless of whether or not you use the expensive spore dust. If the soil is most enough, now is the time to seed your fall vegetables such as dry land cress, kale, turnips, spinach, betts and leaf lettuce.C Beekeeper indemnities THE U. S. Department of Agriculture USDA has announced increases in indemnity payments to beekeepers whose bees are killed or damaged by pesticides used near their bee colonies. James E. Roberts, associate professor of entomology and Extension specialist at Virginia Tech, said the new rates are $22.50 for a destroyed colony (up $7.50); $15 for a severely damaged colony (up $5); $7.50 for a moderately damaged colony (up $2.50); and $7.50 for each queen nucleus destroyed (ud $2.50). Other changes in the indemnity program are: • The option accorded beekeepers to have their indemnity payment computed on the basis of net loss on income has .been eliminated. Claims may be filed with the local ASCS office on the basis of flat rates of payment for each colony killed or damaged. • Payment for multiple losses suffered by the same colony within the calendar year has been discontinued. The beekeeper who suffers multiple losses of the same colony will be permitted to claim the most severe damage suffered by a colony during the year. • The person inspecting the bees may certify that the loss resulted from pesticides and was not caused by disease, starvation or neglect. If the inspector cannot make this certification, the beekeeper must furnish the type of evidence now required such as statements from farmers, applicators, local government agencies or colleges or universities to prove that pesticides caused the damage. ALL OTHER eligibility requirements for earning an indemnity payment remain unchanged, the Extension specialist noted. The indemnity program was authorized by the Agricultural Act of 1970 and was extended through 1977 by the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. □

In old days of the village blacksmith, it was a favorite sport to test your workhorse for his pulling power and perhaps even place a wager on him. “Old Faithful” has long been put out to pasture and his pulling power has been converted to combustible engines whose makers give honor to the original “pullers” and rate their engines by the number of “horsepower” for which they can match. It wasn’t long, however, until some of the farm boys became proud of their tractors and one probably boasted that his unit could out-pull all others in the area. It is reported that just this happened in the mid-west and a new farm sport was started. The idea has now drifted east and in Culpeper this Saturday there will be a tractor-pulling contest. The Culpeper Farm Show is being held from July 29 through August 3 and on final day, the Culpeper County Young Farmers Club will stage a tractor-pulling contest. Members of the project committee are shown above with the complicated rig they designed and constructed to test the pulling power of tractors. The smaller tractor in center is riding on a steel sled while behind is a huge concrete block on wheels which ride up an incline on a pair of steel railroad tracks. Object of the test is to see how far a tractor can pull the cart up the track within a 200-foot course. The trailer with rubber wheels is also geared into a transmission to add pulling resistance. Tractors may compete in five weight classes from 5000 pounds to 15,000 pounds. There will also be classes for stock tractors, antiques and modified tractors. Area farmers who wish to enter the contest at Culpeper this Saturday can telephone Young Farmer Club President Rusty Inskeep at 825-0109 for information and rules concerning the event. It will be held on grounds of Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises Fairgrounds. Market hog shows for youths Flint Hill - Rt. 522 COME SEE Open Wednesday-FridaySaturday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Now thru Sat. Show starts at Dusk 1 show only. Plus 2nd Feature Night Call Nwses / b Sun-Mon-Tues. MARKET HOG shows are good summertime activities for Virginia 4-H and FFA members, advises H. John Gerken, Extension specialist in animal science at Virginia Tech. Youths can obtain one or more feeder pigs in late spring, feed and care for them during the school vacation months and wind up in late summer or fall with a project to show and sell at the county fair or other livestock events, Gerken said. Profit may be realized from the sale of an animal and the premiums won at the show. In any event, there will be the valuable experience of feeding, caring for and showing a farm animal plus the assurance that our nation’s supply of red meat will continue. Girls, too, can enjoy a market hog project. Take, for instance, 11-year-old Cathy Cannon of Spotsylvania who had the champ ion market hog at the 1973 Virginia Market Hog Show in Emporia. SPECIAL MARKET hog shows at which 4-H and FFA members exhibited this year included the 1974 State Market Hog and Trade Show July 24 and 25 in Emporia, the Tech specialist said. Four-H and FFA members can still enter and participate in area shows to be held August 8 at Farmville, August 14 at Courtland, September 12 and 13 at Petersburg or the State Junior Market Hog Show which will be held September 21-23 at the State Fair in Richmond. There are also a number of county and area fairs that will provide opportunities for youth to exhibit their swine and other livestock projects, Gerken added. The Virginia Feeder Pig Association is a major Natural Food Market FRESH ORGANIC FRUIT FLOWN IN FROM CALIFORNIA GRAPES AVOCADOS PLUMS MELONS GRAPEFRUIT ORANGES ARTICHOKES, TOO! 64 Main St. 347-0312, Warrenton sponsor of 4-H and FFA market hog shows in Virginia, providing a handsome silver tray as a sweepstakes award to top junior exhibitors at swine shows all across the state.
