Rappahannock News, April 15, 1976

IPVA. STATE LIBRARY VIRGINIA ( RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 APR 16 1976 Volume XXVII, Number 22 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS Most of apple crop wiped out MOST of the apple crop in Rappahannock County was wiped out this past weekend when a killing frost froze the apple blossoms that were almost in full bloom. According to some estimates, more than 90% of the crop was destroyed when temperatures in the area , dropped into the .low twenties: • Hi • B.' Wood of Woodville, who ■ owns .50 acires of apple orchards,, said that “it looks .like they are : about'all-vgonev”/He said that the thermohieter Onhis house droned to' 2ft .degrees. ' “.That was cold enough-. to get ,‘em” he said.. Wood remarked that the Week-' end frost, was one .of the worst' that the apple crop has ever suffered. “The kill is the worst that I have ever seem' I’ve heard alot of people say that, and some of. them are older, than I am.”. Another Rappahannock orchardist, Ned Johnson,, said that his Red Delicious apples suffered the worst damage. “My Red Delicious are wiped out' completely;, the Staymans .Will- be short and. so far it looks as though I’ll have a fair crop of Yorks, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty and old time Winesaps,” he said. But Johnson said that “Reds are the money crop and when you wipe out 25% of your income, it hurts.” Johnson also noted that the wind also damaged his apple crop. “MY TREES were pruned and thinned just right and that 20 mile, wind, combined with 25 degree temperatures went right through them: The Red blooms were 'wide open and shedding their petals. and that’s where and when the • most damage is done,” Johnson 'said.' ■'•• • ' Johnson echoed the assessment of many other growers who estimate damage to extend from 75% to 90%. The full impact is not yet known, though-and there have been freezes occurring well into May.Also important in the marketing expectations is. how much damage was done to fruit in Pennsylvania,. Mary land,.

This 1968 Honda, also struck the wall but results'were not serious. Investigation of circumstances continues, said Trooper Baines. Near Huntly on Route 522 Sunday about 7 p.m. a vehicle went out of control and struck a tree and a rock wall.

The investigation continues. □ parts of Virginia, all of which suffered some. However, New York and New England are further behind in sea sonal change and have not had the early warm weather which the midAtlantic has had. These sections See Page 2 The cold weather and wind Sunday night took its toll in Rappahannock freezing an estimated 75 to 90% of the fruit crop. Trees in full bloom like this were hardest hit and those which were pruned and thinner also suffered most. The wind chill factor was much below the 20 degree temperature recorded. Reminder on county tags is issued SINCE January 1 the Rappahannock - County Sheriffs DSpartment has issued 38 suhimones for residents who failed to have or display county tag stickers on their vehicles while in operation on the roads of this jurisdiction, according to Sheriff W. A. Bun tin. County stickers for this year, May 1, 1976 to May 1, 1977, must be displayed on vehicles by midnight April 30 and are purchased from the office of the Treasurer in Washington. Quoting the ordinance which governs the purchase and use of county stickers, Sheriff Buntin said this includes every resident of the county of Rappahannock who owns, has in his custody or under his control, a motor vehicle which is operated over the county roads and highways; He further defined ‘ ‘ resident’ ’ as any person having a place of abode in Rappahannock, irrespective of any intention to establish a residence outside of the county at some future date; any person engaged in a gainful occupation here for a period exceeding 60 days; any person who has actually resided in the county for six months whether employed or not; any person who has a registered motor vehicle listing an address within the county or any corporation, firm or partnership having an office or place of business in this county. The Sheriff said the question of trailers, particularly horse trailers, having county stickers has arisen on a number of occasions, and he cited the regulations on this, saying, “Two-wheel trailers over nine feet in length and exceeding a thousand pounds which are pulled behing the owner’s vehicle are required to have a separate sticker. This would encompass horse trailers.” “IN THE case of a tractortrailer or semi-trailer, each vehicle must display a separate sticker tag, according to the ordinance,” he said. “Also, on each and every motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer upon which welldrilling machinery is attached and which is permanently used solely for transporting such machinery, there shall be a license tax.” The cost of each county sticker for autos, trailers, trucks, etc. is $10 and those for motorcycles cost $3 with an additional $1.50 for a sidecar. Buntin advised that expired stickers should be scraped off before affixing a new one, for it is also a violation to have an expired sticker displayed. If you purchase a new or different vehicle and need to have your county sticker transferred, a portion of tile sticker should be taken off and given to the county treasurer who will issue another one to you at See Pace 2

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Farming’s thin line THE LATE SPRING cold snap and the havoc it caused for Rappahannock’s apple growers is another dramatic reminder of what a thin line exists between success and failure for all types of agricultural endeavor. Of all the variables that can attack any type of business, it is farming which can be most directly, and devastatingly affected by the weather. If it freezes too late, if it rains too much or not enough, there goes the farmer’s thin margin between profit and loss. And when the farmer hurts, the entire farming community feels the pinch, too. The feed and seed dealers, equipment salesmen, fencing manufacturers, pesticide sellers—all of the hundreds of business and community activities dependent upon the well-being of the farmers—these suffer, too, when things go wrong. And at the end of the chain, there’s all the farm jobs that won’t be needed to tend tiie stunted orchards and the reduced crop. SOMETIMES CITY FOLKS grumble about supposed easy touches that farmers have. They gripe about “subsidies” and support programs, and sometimes they even put political pressure on their state or national representatives to eliminate these programs, presumably in the name of aiding consumers. Well, it’s consumers who’ll be the first to know it if the American farmer goes out of business. They’ll be hungry. County tags Tram Page 1 no cost. In the event a tag should be lost, though this is improbable, a duplicate will be issued upon receipt of an affadavit from the applicant, at no cost. “IT IS illegal to fail to have a sticker properly transferred,” said the Sheriff. “This information should clari ty any questions and requirements concerning county tags and should eliminate any reason for persons not knowing or understanding that new tags must be displayed by May 1. The Sheriff’s Department has enforced and will continue to enforce the county ordinances, and failure to have and display a county tag will be considered a deliberate violation,” said Sheriff Buntin.D Close-Up The close-up last week was a real teaser and stumped most readers.

If you are interested in improving public participation in the Virginia schools, please call me so we can form a committee. Mary Beth Martin 675-3279 Editor’s note—Thank you, and yes we are, but it is our. job to report on citizens’ committees, not from them.D Apple crop From Pace 1 are large fruit growing areas. None of this will alleviate crop shortages here, and the economy of Rappahannock will certainly be affected. Herbert Foster declared his apple crop was wiped out except for a few Yorks, maybe 15% were left. He said he had sprayed once and would spray again for scab control in the leaves, but that is it. Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, checked some of the orchards Tuesday. “I was disheartened at what I saw yesterday,” he said. “Ninety percent of the applies are gone.” Jerry Jenkins of Woodville, one of the orchardists who raises quality fruit for the fresh fruit market, said maybe there are a few left, but not enough to use stop drop on. THE weekend frost is not unusual for this time of the year. But its intensity and the damage was more this year than other years when orchards were hit by an early April frost. During normal years, the apple blossoms would not have been this far developed. The warm weather in February and March pushed bud and blossom development ahead by about two weeks, according to E. M. Jones who owns about 40 acres of orchards. He said that there is about a month between when the green buds form and when the blossoms open. Jones noted that the warm weather in March caused the buds form in early March instead or the middle of the month. □ Easter services A GOOD FRIDAY service will be held at Forest Grove Baptist Church April 16 at 7:30 p.m. This is a community service with the Rev.

S. Department of Agriculture. The announced payment rate is based on the difference between the national average price of 44.7 cents a pound received by producers during 1975 and the previously announced incentive price of 72 cents a pound. Incentive payments to wool growers are required under the National Wool Act of 1954, as amended. The 1975 payment rate compares with the 1974 rates of 21.8 percent. Payments of 1975 marketings of wool will be about $40 million compared to payments of $15 million on 1974 marketings. A grower’s payment on 1975 marketings is determined by multiplying the net dollar return from the sale of wool by the payment rate of 61.1 percent. This percentage method of payment is designed to encourage growers to improve the quality and marketing of their wool. In any marketing year for which incentive payments are made, the higher the price a grower receives for his wool, the larger his payment. A PAYMENT rate of $1.09 per hundredweight on unshorn lambs sold or slaughtered in 1975 was also announced by USDA. This payment is designed to compensate growers for the wool they market on live lambs rather than as shorn wool. The payment is based on the shorn wool payment rate, average weight of wool per hundred weight of lambs, and value of lamb’s wool relative to the national average value of shorn wool. Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service will make the payments to wool producers through its county office. □ Wakefield students competing in the 48th annual Latin Tournament at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville on Saturday, April 10, included (from 1. to r.)

Com uses nitrogen from the moment roots begin to function, until ears dent in late summer. Corn's need for nitrogen is sizeable. Most soils have enough nitrogen to produce about 70 bushels of com per acre. For yields over 70 bushels, you must rely on nitrogen from fertilizer. For example: Yield goal Extra nitrogen required 70 to 120 bu. 121 to 200 bu. 2.5 lbs. N for each bu. over 70 3.0 lbs.

Burgess, Superintendent of State Police, has reported. Noting that there were 1,256 deaths in 1972, 1,220 in 1973, 1,050 in 1974 and 1,030 in 1975, Colonel Burgess felt there is a possibility of four straight years of death reduction, which has never before occurred in Virginia. However, he added that the 1976 total is certain to be slightly raised due to late reports and deaths of persons now carried as injured. Pedestrian deaths were up from 34 to 37 and those of servicemen from four to six. There were three motorcycle deaths, the same number as for the first three months of 1975, and no deaths of bicyclists as against two for 1975. Traffic volumes for the period were up an estimated seven percent.
