tv II YW11 X U~\ Volume XXV, Number 40 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1974 FIFTEEN CENTS Kindergarten plans Supervisors still don’t like the idea BY PEKAY PETTUS GENERAL DANIEL NOCE told Rappahannock’s Supervisors’ last Thursday that he’s not any more pleased with a state requirement for kindergartens than they are. And the General thought the county should take some strong steps before buckling under to the state ruling that they have to implement a kindergarten program by September of 1976. “I recommend that the county give serious consideration to a suit,” he said. “There ought to be some way to prevent orders coming down from Washington or Richmond that puts a burden on county government. And I’ll personally start taking up a collection to help pay for it.” / It s one oi tne curiosities 01 American civilization that so many vast issues have to be fought in the elementary schools,” Noce said, and he cited the issues of “race, church and state and now decentralization.” General Noce, like the Supervisors and some of the school board members, wasn’t convinced that kindergartens are such a good idea, especially when the county has as small a budget as Rappahannock. “SCHOOLS HAVE been around a long time. Ever since Socrates got a little gang around him, and probably before that,” the General said. “But they’re always finding a new gimmick. Like they put in ‘look and learn.’ ” He talked about the “look and learn” method of reading, in which the child is taught to recognize certain words by sight and memorization, not be emphasizing sounds or phoenetics. “But they’ve begun to realize that’s not working,” General Noce said. Those children who were taught look and learn can’t read as well as those who learned through sounds and phonetics, he thought. “So they’re replacing that system with what they call a new system, which is really the old system,” he said. “Now gentlemen, I’m going to talk to you about education,” General Noce continued. “A large part of our county taxes goes for education. Wouldn’t you say it’s about twothirds' of our county budget?” The Supervisors nodded. “Now, anyway you look at it, that’s a lot of dough,” he said. The Supervisors agreed. _ “You probably know, or maybe you don’t, that the Supreme Court ruled in March that it is not a fundamental right to give quality education. There is no reason that school districts must finance educational quality,” Noce said. “NOW I’M ALL for it if we’re getting dollars returned for dollars spent, and as long as those dollars aren’t wrecking the county. But I suggest you all get copies of this decision, if that’s the law of the land. I’m willing to pay for mine and if the county has a hard time paying for theirs, I’ll take up a collection for that, too.” “In my time, I’ve listened to a lot of discussion on education,” Noce said. The general asserted introduced them to Charlie Grimsley. “The general just asked me to See Page 7 Amissville carnival THE CARNIVAL season in Rappahannock will be concluded next week with the four-night festival in Amissville, which opens next Wednesday. The fire department and rescue organization in Amissville invite the attendance and participation of all. A grand parade is scheduled Thursday night beginning at 6:30 p.m. with music and merriment as marching units, fire and rescue equipment, floats and majorettes file ginger ly along the highway.

He showed the Grand Champion Boar, second and third place market hogs, Reserve Champion Pen of Three and won the Senior Showing and Fitting contest, thereby taking the Sweep Stake Award as outstanding swine showman. Man drowns John William North, about 72, of Huntly was discovered dead in a creek on Route 664 Tuesday night. According to Dr. Robert Iden, medical examiner in Fauquier County, the cause of death was accidental drowning. Trooper J. A. Watson was alerted to the scene and according to his investigation, events were pieced together. The Trooper surmissed that Mr. North had been sitting on the stone wall at the Bridge and apparently lost his balance, falling backwards into the creek. He struck the back of his head, rendering him unconscious with his face in the water. He was discovered by his grand-niece as she was returning to her home around 11 p.m. She had seen him sitting on the bridge earlier, said the officer. Mr. North lived nearby with his nephew Bedford North.□

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Costs of ‘growth’ ' SOME LOCAL politicians and other public figures can still be heard to argue that “growth” is desirable because it serves to “broaden the tax base” and thereby reduce the tax load required for paying for essential services. To be sure, the argument is heard mostly in areas which have not experienced much growth. You might hear it out in the country, for example, but you won’t hear it very often in places like New Jersey, or Fairfax. (You still hear it in Prince William, but the leadership in that hapless county is apparently incapable of learning from past mistakes.) An interesting examination of the “broadening the tax base” argument is contained in a book recently published. “The Titanic Effect, Planning for the Unthinkable,” was written by Kenneth E. F. Watt, a man trained in ecological studies who utilized his training and knowledge of computer-based analysis of biological and*social systems to conduct an examination of traditional “growth economics.” His observations about local taxes are so pertinent to the situation facing so many areas in this part of Virginia that we thought they warranted calling to the attention of our readers. Mr. Watt’s argument follows: f V “THE PRICE paid for larger populations, and the increased institutional complexity required to service them, can be calculated with some precision. (The following) shows the effects of population size in urban counties on three different components of the tax burden: “For a population of less than 10,000, police protection costs $5.70 in tax per capita; fire protection costs $1.42 and sewerage costs $2.65. For a population of 50,000 to 99,000, police costs $7.50; fire protection costs $4.85 and sewerage costs $6.30. For a population of 25,000 or more, the per capita costs goes to $19.10 for police, $10.81 for fire protection, and $10.61 for sewerage. “The picture is even more stark when we look at total tax expenditure per capita for local government. The latest available figures (mainly for 1967) are as follows: New York City, $892 per capita; counties with populations of 250,000 or more, $353; counties with 100,000 to 249,999, $265; counties with 50,000 to 99,000, $246; counties with 25,000 to 49,999, $233. “The argument is often used by developers and politicians that the public should approve of local development because it will ‘broaden the tax base and reduce assessments.’ The preceding figures show that this argument is spurious: as the population of urban areas goes up, so does the cost per capita for services, and so does inflation.’’C “Close-ups” The close-up pictured last week was of a thermostat and was correctly identified by a number of readers.

xo*»i mr-H-r nn Building code compromise suggested FANNING BAUMGARDNER, Rappahannock’s newly appointed building inspector, explained the “BOCA code” to the Supervisors at their meeting last Thursday. But several of the Supervisors made it clear they weren’t enthusiastic about “putting more law on the books.” Baumgardner said he wasn’t “recommending” the code; he was presenting it for them to consider. But this is the code that is used throughout the state, he said. The BOCA code prescribes the standard for inspection of plumbing, heating, electrical wiring and all phases of construction. The inspector makes three trips to the construction site, once to check the footings and see that the Duuaing is suea correctly (Mi the property, a second time to inspect plumbing, wiring and general “roughing in,” and a final visit before he issues an “occupancy permit.” Herbert Foster said he understood that it was a good idea to have a building inspector, but he didn’t think it ought to be required. “It’s like the state of Virginia and the federal government. We’re just getting too much law on the books. A man doesn’t have any authority over his land.” H. B. Wood was thinking along the same lines. “What this means is that you have to pay a hundred dollars more to put up a house, and then you can stiil overload the cir cuit, even if the wiring passed inspection.” He mentioned a “sewer” that had been inspected, approved and which never worked. COMMONWEALTH’S Attorney George Davis said the state law reads that the county “shall” have a building inspector, but as far as Davis could see, the law doesn’t say what the state would do if the county didn’t. Baumgardner said he thought it was particularly important for the county to have some form of electrical inspection. Chairman Pete Luke agreed, noting that a fire that destroyed a house near Boston recently was due to faulty wiring. “I think everybody should look out for themselves,” H. B. Wood said. “You could have perfect wiring in a house and you could rent it out to somebody who’d put more on the circuit than it could stand.” Baumgardner and Luke mentioned the new clinic that doctors Werner Krebser and Jerry Martin are building in Washington. “Now that will have all kinds of high-powered equipment and it’ll be used by the public. Who’s going to inspect it?” Luke asked. Herbert Foster conceded that there was a need for some inspection in the case of a public facility like the clinic. “I understand the need. If I was building a house I’d probably want to have it in EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE LARGE OttnAWOF Ration ally known hands IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS fMltWtAf ALEXANDER SMITH PATCRAFT MOHAWK •ARWICK MASLANO RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL SUDGET TERMS CUSTOM DRAPERIES SLIPCOVERS (MADE LOCALLYr VISIT OUR SHOWROOM CUSTOM ft STOCK WINDOW SHAOSS OR CALL FOR LINOLEUMS ■ VINYLS ft TILE SHOP AT HOME.SERVICE WALL TOWALL CARPET EXPERT RUG CLEANING INSTALLATIONS Cell 937-4404 <**•211) VqOY 825-8232 128 S. Main St, Cutpapae, Va, spected. But this thing of putting it on the books, saying everybody has to have it. I think we’ve got enough law and I think it’s strict enough.” SHOULDN’T we provide it on a voluntary basis?” Pete Luke asked. “It would be optional for the homebuilder, but available if he wanted it, and mandatory on certain public buildings.” The Supervisors made no decision about adopting the code, but asked Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis to see if it would be possible for the county to adopt part of the code, specifically the part concerning electrical wiriner. and make it ODtional for homebuilders but require it for commercial buildings. Davis agreed. W. P. DINSMOOR White of the Piedmont Environmental Council in Warrenton talked with the Supervisors about making an “environmental inventory” of the county in conjunction with drawing up a comprehensive plan. White had met previously with members of the Planning Commission, Baumgardner explained, and the Commissioners thought the “environmental inventory” would be a good idea. Since the Piedmont Environmental Council has a grant to make this kind of study, Rappahannock County would only have to pay half, or approximately $1,500. The Piedmont Environmental Council would not draft the master plan, White said. But the “environmental inventory” they would make would help the Planning Commissioners answer such questions as “how much growth the county should have, where it should go, and what it should be like. Pete Luke suggested that the Supervisors make no decision about hiring the Piedmont Environmental Council at this meeting. “They can make a fine presentation about the things they do,” Luke said. “I’ve seen that and I’m impressed with it, but I think the other board members ought to have that opportunity, too, before making a decision.” White agreed to return and make a “presentation” at the Supervisors meeting next month. H. L. MANWARING asked the Supervisors to adopt a resolution giving Byrd Gravatt Jones a “unanimous vote of thanks” for her 27 years of service on the school board. The Supervisors readily a* greed. Robert P. Anderson told the Supervisors that 2,225 parcels of property had been reassessed so far. He and the reassessment committee expect to finish their job in November, he said.D Polo matches Two exciting polo matches are scheduled for Friday night at Fannon’s Field at Laurel Mills when the Rappahannock Club will host the Cincinnati Polo Club which is on tour in this area. The Cincinnati team features Tom Harris, a three-goal player along with the Wilkins family. This team will conclude its tour Sunday on the Lincoln Mall in Washington, D. C. with Reston as the opponent. The games at Fannon’s Field begins at 8 p.m. under the lights and should prove interesting and exciting.il THE CHEESE SHOPPE 209 S. Royal Ave. Front Royal, Va.

Rappahannock riled at kindergartens From Page 1 that there is an increasing and dangerous degree of permissiveness in education. “I’ve read about a class where they’ve were getting ready to decide who would be promoted to the next level and they found that two thirds of the class wasn’t ready. So they decided not to promote anybody, thinking those that didn’t make it would feel bad or something. So they flunked a whole class, just to mollify those who would have failed anyway.” Typically, the general said, once the details of this episode became known, no one would take the blame for having made that unwise decision. “Who did it would make a masterpiece of a whodone-it movie.” “NOW OUT IN San Francisco, a graduate sued the school board because when he went to apply for a job and took a reading test, he found he couldn’t pass fifth grade reading,” General Noce saiu. According to Noce, the defense of the city attorney was that “public policy dictates” that teachers are to protect kids from physical injury. They weren’t answerable for reading but for babysitting.” Noce gave the term coined by the educational-sociological complex: “They call it the ‘social utility’ of education.” “I believe this time we’re going through is a period of distress for all people,” Noce said, and he described a spiraling trend of inflation. “But it’s especially hard on the people who try to make it on their own.” General Noce talked about a young man who works on his farm. “After he works for me all day, he goes over to the foundry in Culpeper and works until 3o’clock in the morning. I usually let him come in an hour late in the morning because I understand what he’s going through.” GENERAL NOCE wanted to make sure the Supervisors understood, too. So he bought the young man with him and -asked the Supervisors if they’d mind if he talked to them. The Supervisors agreed. So Noce come down here and tell you what I think about.this,” Grimsley said. “I don’t mind paying a lair tax but I don’t want to, I won’t be, taxed all the time. I’ll pay my share. I’m willing to. But I can’t pay any more. I’ve got a family and they’re going to eat, one way or the other.” THE SUPERVISORS listened to Grimsley, and said they sympathized with the plight he and other share. “Well then, possibly we might try a two pronged approach to this thing,” Chairman Pete Luke said. “General Noce’s suggestion, and the political.” Luke suggested the Board should write French Slaughter, their Delegate to the General Assembly, and George Alkhizer, their State Senator. “We could prevail on them to see that this is made local option,” Luke said. “Perhaps it can be reopened. I don’t think we’re the only county with reservations. I’d like to see if we couldn’t find some alternatives that are less costly.” But Luke said, “I don’t know that we as. a county want to bring suit. Ijuke said that the county should go ahead and take positive action for complying with state standards. “I don’t know at what point you get unaccredited. But I haven’t heard anyone in the county who wants to head in that direction.” J. R. Latham said he knew the state required counties to implement a kindergarten program, but he wondered how specific they’d been in outling the terms of the program. Herbert Foster wondered if it would be possible to run a kindergarten program during the summer, so it wouldn’t require any extra expenditures for new school facilities. GENERAL NOCE said that kindergarten, like any other program the schools start, should be done on a trial basis first. “They ought to try it for a couple of years and then see if third graders who had kindergarten do that much better than third graders who didn’t,” he said. “Has there been such a trial?” Mike Epstein, a member of the audience, thought a close reading of the state order might show that the county only has to have a “plan” for a kindergarten. “Could you get around it that way?” According to Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Superintendent 0. A. Norton, the county could not. “If it was compulsory, I could see more merit to it,” George Davis said. “But the ones who don’t get parental consent to attend it are probably the ones it would help the most.” SUPERINTENDENT O. A. Norton said that about 75% of children eligible for the kindergarten are expected to apply. “I can see why they didn’t make it compulsory,” Pete Luke said. “Interferring with private enterprise. There are a couple of private kindergartens in this county.” “I don’t think we’re really prepared to pass judgement on the merits of compulsory or otherwise,” George Davis said. “But I don’t think they can force us to build and maintain empty schools for the pleasure and discretion of a few.” “Now I don’t want it to appear that I’m not in favor of a preschool, but I think we should have a law with teeth,” Davis said. BEFORE GENERAL Noce had made his presentation “on education,” Pete Luke briefed the Supervisors on what had happened between him and the school board. “I passed on to you copies of the letter they’d given me,” Luke said, referring to the letter from the school board to the State Board of Education about the kindergarten program. At their July meeting, the Supervisors expressed dismay that the school board had not been any stronger in stating their reservations about the program in that letter. “Well, it turns out that they hadn’t sent me a true copy,” Luke said. The wording in the letter sent to the state read “accepted” instead of “approved” and that was qualified with “Should funding be available and public support continue,” Luke said. He added that the school board had appointed Mrs. Massie and Mr. Montague to look into alternatives to a kindergarten. The school board will also send a letter to the state board of education, asking them to reconsider the requirement that all school systems must have kindergartens. “And I told them that we ought to have a liasion between the sch ool board and the Board of Supervisors, Luke said. Luke, and Supervisor J. R. Latham met with members of the school board shortly after the July Supervisors meeting. SUPERINTENDENT O. A. Norton came to the Supervisors’ meeting “to re-establish my credibility with the Board members, if I could.” Norton gave the Supervisors a chronology of how confusion about the kindergarten program developed. “As you know, when the new state Constitution was approved, it said that the state board would proscribe the standards of quality for education, to be approved by the General Assembly,” Nor ton said, lnose standards oi quality required that schools update their programs in the -fields of vocational, adult and special education and kindergarten. “The General Assembly reaffirmed their support of the kindergarten program. So the idea was to submit by July of 1974 a plan indicating when it would start and the costs,” Norton said. He noted that the program has to start by September 1976, again General Assembly orders. “So the Board and myself were in a quandary. We did not like the word ‘accepted’ which was on the cover form, so we replaced it with approved, to reflect the language of the motion,” Norton said. The Superintendent said that what the Rappahannock school board submitted to the State Board of Education was a “plan stating our intention,” not the program itself. “It doesn’t mean you have to do it that way.” “I agree that a plan is not the program,” Pete Luke said. “But it can get approval at higher echelons and become the program.” Luke said he’d been asked about the prospects of a referendum on the kindergarten. I’ve had the clerk look up the law. And it looks like when the General Assembly passed that book ( the 1974 revised code of Virginia) it passed it with those things, including the kindergarten.’^ MOYERS MOTOR CO.r INC.

Summer lambs, born between March and early fall, are sold the following March. “If we’re going to be selling around the first of March, we bring ‘em in about Christmas and put ‘em on grain. I never had fooled with grain much, but now you’re not going to have much without feeding grain. Can’t expect to.” “LAST YEAR THE market went up, we got about 45 cents a pound. I think they’re selling 40-41 cents now,” The Lees sell most of their stock in Winchester although sometimes they take a load to the Fauquier Livestock Market at Marshall, and occasionally to Culpeper. “I aim to keep right at 70 ewes. Sometimes I sell some culls, like if they have spoilt bags or she has twins and is only giving milk out of one quarter. But if they’re in any shape at all I try to keep from selling them. The trip doesn’t pay to get rid of her. “It’s a good idea not to be in such a hurry, though. I had one old ewe that wasn’t worth the cost of hauling her, so I didn’t get around to it. Since then she’s raised two lambs, good lambs. “But if they do get sick, there’s not much you can do for thehi. So you’d just as well leave them alone until you get up a truckload of culls or lambs. “It takes time and attention, sheep do,” Lee said. “Butconsidering all else we’ve got to do it doesn’t take that much more time than anything else.”

Sheep farming It’s down in the area, but not all gone BY PEKAY PETTUS SHEEP FARMING in Virginia’s Northern Piedmont area and across the mountain in the Valley is dwindling. Sheep farmers and Extension Agents agree sheep are about the most consistently profitable livestock to raise, but in Rappahannock, Clarke, Fauquier and Loudoun, there are considerably fewer sheep farmers and fewer sheep than ten years ago. Rappahannock’s former county agent, William Lyne, said, “There must have been between 15,000 and 17,000 sheep here when I came to the county in the mid ‘40’s. I wonder if there are 1,000 now.” ; Lyne was wondering in the right direction. Rappahannock’s sheep population was listed at 800 in 1972, the most recent farm livestock census made by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Extension Office. That census lists the sheep population, by county, from 1965 to 1972. Loudoun leads the northern Virginia area counties with 3,300 sheep in 1965 and 2,800 in 1972. Clarke was next, 3,100 in 1965 and 2,400 in 1972. Fauquier follows, 2,600 in 1965 and 1,800 in 1972 and Rappahannock was last, down to 800 from 1,200 in 1965. Clarke and Loudoun showed slight increases in the late sixties, but in Fauquier and Rappahannock the trend has been steadily downward. Extension agents in the four counties agree that sheep farmers have become even fewer since the 1972 statistics and the agents said the decline would be even more pronounced if they could compare with statistics of 20 years ago, like those William Lyne remembered. SHEEP FARMER—Tom Lee of Rappahannock is still in the business, doing well and liking it. But the number of sheep and sheep farmers in Clarke, Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock is dwindling. (Pekay Pettus photo) Rannah The extension agents also generally agree on the causes. WHEN BOB TUDOR came to' Fauquier as extension agent 15 years ago, there were 121 farmers who raised sheep and consigned through the “wool pool’’ for 38,000 pounds of wool. Last year, 32 Fauquier sheep farmers produced 12,000 pounds of wool. But Tudor also notes that half the sheep in Fauquier are owned by two northwest county farms, Fairfield and Henchman’s Lea. “Part of the decline is due to a change in land ownership,” Tudor said. “And a lot of farmers just see a potential for more total profit in something else. I just suppose cattle are seen as more glamorous. But nobody’s ever lost a penny on sheep,” he added, noting that the same couldn’t be said for cows. Jack Brown, the extension agent in Loudoun, attributed the decline to a trend away from “diversified” farming. “It used to be a farmer might have some cows, some sheep, some hogs. But it’s not that way much anymore.” Brown also mentioned the point about changing patterns of land ownership. “There are less farms than there used to be. Some of them are smaller, more split up, and some are consolidated, but there are less of them.” “And there are some other problems,” Brown said. As the county gets more people, dogs get to be more trouble. It’s harder to get a shearer. And foot rot has probably discouraged some. You can treat it, but you have to keep the treated and the untreated separated, it means more management.” “But the real difference is, to farm sheep you have to like sheep,” Brown said. RUSSELL MARTIN, extension agent in Clarke, oversees, “Wool Pool Day,” when wool from Loudoun, Fauquier, part of Prince William, Clarke and Warren Counties is brought to Berryville to be assembled, labeled and shipped by railroad to the auction houses where it will be bid on. Martin’s statistics from the Northern Virginia Wool Growers Association show that the amount of wool consigned by farmers in this area has decreased from 68,700 pounds in 1970 to approximately 48,000 pounds this past year. Martin offered another observation: “Though sheep farming is decreasing, we have as many 4-H youngsters who choose to raise sheep now as we did years ago. Perhaps a few more, now that more girls enter the livestock program. A lot of the kids that think they couldn’t quite manage a cow or a horse are ready to raise a lamb.” TOM LEE AND his brother John are still raising sheep in Rappahannock, and have one of the largest flocks in the county. Tom agreed that sheep farmers are getting scarcer and he wasn’t sure why, but he was ready to talk a - bout raising sheep, to take a little time off from picking peaches. “When we first started, my brother and I, Harris Hollow was lined with sheep. Now, come to think of it, we’re the only ones up thei^. And except for a few of the Easthams, we’re all that’s out here on Fodderstack Road. “They take a lot of attention and most people don’t want to be tied down. But if you work with 'em you’ve got something,” he said. “J’ve found that you just let them run with the cattle, they’ll do better. Some sheep will eat the grass the cows won’t and they’ll always eat the onions first in the spring. So you won’t get much onion in your milk. “And the dogs don’t give you as much trouble, especially if you keep the sheep in with cows and the calves. If they’ve got calves, they won’t let the dogs get close. And the sheep will hang around where the cattle’s at, no matter how big the pasture is, so the dogs stay away from them, too.” Dogs killing sheep has been a controversial topic in Rappahannock for the past year, and the way to distinguish a “dog kill” from a “bear kill” had consumed part of several Supervisors’ meetings. There were so many dog fund claims last year that the fund was depleted before the year ended. “I’VE NEVER had much trouble with dogs though,” Lee said. “Never much trouble with hounds, maybe a little if he had some beagle in him, but hunting dogs and the old red hounds don’t seem to bother sheep much. “The trouble comes from the mixed dogs, part shepard or police dogs or .something. Back in the spring, up in the hollow, we did have some dog problem. Killed four lambs. But we just patched up the ewes and saved them,” he said. ‘‘But you’re not going to have much trouble if you’re keeping them in with cows with calves.” (Like most sheep farmers around here, he pronounced ewe as “Yo.”) What old time sheep farmers remember vividly were cold winter nights of midwifing, since the lambing season ran from late December until March. ‘‘But now you’ve got a market for the lambs 12 months out of the Lee said, “so it suits just as well to let the bucks run with them all year. You’ll get just as much for the summer lambs as 1 you.vall the winter lambs.” The Lee brothers’ sheep are divided into two flocks. One is up in Harris Hollow, the other at their main farm on Fodderstack Road, “We hardly look in on the ones up in th“ hollow all summer, just often enough to see if they need drenching. But in the winter we check ‘em pretty close. After it comes snowing we get them up in the shed. But they don’t do well crowded up. The lambs lying down get stepped on. That’s one good thing about the summer lambing season. They’ve got more space.” THE WINTER lambing season is a hectic time for the sheep farmer. “When it’s cold you’ve got to get the lambs up, soon after they’re born or they’ve gone!” Lee said. Summer brings its problems, too. Tom Lee scatters grain for his flock of sheep which includes “some Hampshires, some South downs, some Suffolks and some Westerns, wild as deer.” “You have some problems with their tails deteriorating in the summer,” Lee said. Young lambs have their tails removed. The farmer puts a “rubber band” at the tail base which stops circulation so the tail shortly drops off. This seldom brings complications in winter lambs, but in the summer lambs often have some deterioration around the stump, Lee explained. “But lambs aren’t much trouble, if the ewe doesn’t have trouble giving birth in the first place. And it seems to be just as much of a problem, for some of them, in the summer as in the winter,” Tom Lee said. “But the young bucks, you don’t have to worry about castrating them, like you would steers.” The sheep farmers’biggest worry in the summer is keeping them “drenched.” “Drenching” is the phrased used for worming sheep. Lee uses a powder mix and shoots it down their throats with a syringe. Besides catching each sheep and making up the mixture the real chore is that it has to be done so often, Lee said. The initial dose, is followed up a week later, to get rid of eggs. The two-time treatment will have to be repeated several times a season. THE LEE BROTHERS don’t “dip” their sheep anymore, and Tom Lee said he didn’t know many people who did. “Just not much sheep scab around. We used to dipused PHC and DDT for a while—but we haven’t done it in years. A big problem with sheep is keeping their feet trimmed. But if you run them in a field with a lot of rock, it’ll almost do it for you.” Keeping the feet trimmed is one step in preventing foot rot. Shearing is done only once a year, in May. “We have a fellow that works here with us that can do it. But even then, it costs right smart to get the wool off. What you get for it will hardly pay forgetting it off and drenching.” Sheep require considerable pasture, Tom Lee said. “You can’t do anything in a small place. They take up a lot of grass, graze it down short. And if you can’t change them around, right often, they’ll just get to lying around and stinking.” For the 80-some sheep he has now, Lee said he wouldn’t consider having less than 100 acres. But he and his brother have more, ‘‘And we just let ‘em run in the orchards too.” Grazing the grass down to ground level is one reason why worms are such a problem with sheep. The Lees’ flock includes ‘‘some Suffolks, some Southdowns, some Hampshires'.” He often uses Dorset rams. ‘‘If you cross ‘em up they do better anyway. And the Dorset has a smaller head.” Tom Lee and brother have also added some ‘‘Western” ewes to the flock. ‘‘They’re wild, like deer. But their lambs are active, able to get up sooner, after they’re born.” The sheep market has changed since Lee first went into business. ‘‘Used to be you’d go to market with something weighing as little as 50 pounds. But more recently it was around 90. Now they’ve raised the weight limit to 125 pounds.” Lambs born during the See Page 7 Sheep farming takes some attention, Rappahannock’s Tom Lee said, but not that much more time “considering all else we have to do, with peaches and apples and cows.” Some of Tom Lee's flock head for the lulls.

How can anyone afford to put on that much fertili- - zer when the cost of nitrogen has just about.trippled and the selling price of feeder cattle is just about half of what it was last year?” My answer is...you are right. Based on current ' prices you can’t justify using any fertilizer. In fact you can’t even justify keeping your cows. But if you have been in the cow business for a while and are staying in, you have to be an optimist. You have to believe the rains will come this summer and that feeder prices will go up. So, if you still have cows to winter and-you are stockpiling fescue to help do the job, I don’t see any way out but to top dress with nitrogen. Early August is the critical time in managing tall fescue for winter grazing. Graze or mow the fescue down to 2-3” by August 1-15. Overgrazing slows recovery growth while undergrazing allows low quality growth to carry over into winter. Top dress with 50-100 pounds nitorgen (dry material) per acre from August 1-15th. This is also a good time to apply phosphate, potash, and lime as needed according to soil tests. In the absence of a soil test, apply 40-60 pounds each of phosphate and potash per acre. Do not permit pH to fall below 6.0. Keep livestock off this pasture until the fall growth of the other pasture is grazed off; usually sometime in November, then turn the cows in on the tall fescue. AREA FARM SHOW—Three Rappahannock 4-H’ers received honors at the Culpeper Area Farm Show. Donna Cannon’s home-raised 1140-pound Angus steer was Grand Champion. There were 32. steers from four counties and the competition was extremely keen. Donna’s steer was purchased by Safeway for a $1.01 per pound. David Thornhill showed the second and third place i market hogs; the Reserve Champion Pen of three; the Grand Champion Boar and won the Senior Fit- • ting and Showing Contest, and the Sweep Stake A- 7 ward for the outstanding swine showman. David’s cross bred 1070 pound steer was purchased by ' Yowell’s Hardware. * Beth Fannon’s Blue Satin rabbit won first in qua- j lity of fur and second in conformation. This rabbit j , is quite a remarkable individual, besides being a \ champion show rabbit, it is also house broken. When \ ■ ever it is necessary the rabbit hops all the way up- \ stairs to use its own bathroom facilities. I know this ; sounds like a Fannon story, but so help me it’a true^D ?
