Rappahannock News, June 24, 1976

Busy day planned for the Fourth By WALDRON O’CONNOR THE Bugle’s Blast, this time, should leave all buglers, as well as the bugler, breathless, because this heralded event is the Bicentennial Biggie—July 4—Declaration Day. And Virginia had quite a hand in it. This understatement is supported thus: Richard Henry Lee of Westmoreland County started it all with three resolutions. Then the second Continental Congress appointed a committee to write a reasoned explanation of why it had passed the resolutions when and if it did. Thic nnmmiHnA fro lrn thn ing assignment to young Tom Jefferson Whose skill with a quill had impressed the four committeemen. We now celebrate both what he wrote and the Congress’s carefully studied acceptance of that noble document. So Rappahannock, as its county seat, is getting ready for a day of memorable observance of these historic events. Mrs. Dorothy Davis, chairman of the county’s yearlong celebration and Capt. Howard Holschuh, chairman of this July 4th gala, have planned a program beginning about noon (after the usual Sunday church services are over) and continuing, fullpacked, until 6 or so. ALTHOUGH the detailed menu of the afternoon happenings will appear in the July 1 issue of the News it is the Bugler’s business, and a bonus to boot, to blow a few anticipatory blurts herewith. Most of the doings in our Washington will be on Gay Street (where else? Pity the communities that lack such a setting), but there are diversions elsewhere as well. Luncneon, rull or partial, will be served by the ladies of the First Baptist Church at the Country Store, as well as at Trinity Church parish hall by the W.V.F.D. Ladies Auxiliary. These two spots expect to serve supper, too. Probably the most dramatic and moving portion of the program will come at 2 p.m. when, in concert with every other community in these United States, Washington’s church bells will begin ringing out in the belfry of the First Baptist Church to be followed successively by the other church bells, ending with the courthouse bell. Throughout this progressive pealing it is requested that the bells be heard in silence until the end. After the bells, a chorus (there Library will feature local skills, services ON THE 4th of July, the Library will stage an outdoor show of Skills and Services in Rappahannock Today. “You’ll be amazed,” stated Librarian Georgia Hufstedler, “at the number of skilled artisans now making the selling a variety of fine and exceptional things right here in our county, and the range of specialized services that are available today. The Library’s 4th of Man killed when truck hits tree Douglas McGuire Daugherty of Alexandria was fatally injured in a crash in Amissville last Wednesday when the 73 pickup he was driving struck a tree. According to Trooper C. A. Moore, Daugherty was westbound when the vehicle went out of control and crashed into the tree on Route 211 about 7:10 p.m. Daugherty was retired from the military service and had formerly resided in Rappahannock. At Massies Corner on June 14, Patricia Saltonstall of Flint Hill struck a deer damaging the fender, radiator, grill and hood of her car. This was investigated by Trooper Moore. July exhibit is being designed to show off the county’s talents.” Thirty to 40 individual exhibits will be mounted on the lawns and in the street in front of the Library at the end of Gay Street. The range of the show will cover exhibits as large as Quail Call Farms Christmas and Ornamental Evergreen Trees, Ginny’s Kitchen’s Wedding Cakes, fine furniture and cabinets, full doll houses to order and smaller objects such as ceramics, candles, dried flowers, herbs and vinegars, jewelry, etc. CREATIVE services will be exemplified that range from the four county hairdressers to ballet lessons. Yoga lessons, lessons in making fiddles, horseback and jumping lessons, gourmet cooking lessons, tennis lessons, photography services and record taping. “This Rappahannock Today Slow,” says Mary Jamieson, Library Chairman, “will be an eye opener to everyone. It has been a joy to interview the artisans who are designing their exhibits for it. Their enthusiasm their sincerity and their affection for Rappahannock are stimulating.” Accompanying the Show, the Library will conduct a Bread and Bake and Book Sale. will be a last rehearsal Tuesday, June 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Trinity Church parish hall. Newcomers will be welcome, (especially tenors and basses) will sing selections appropriate to the occasion and contemporary with different eras in America’s history. Interspersed among the musical numbers will be reading from the Declaration of Independence and a flag presentation by the Girl Scouts under Mrs. Diane Watson. Colonial games beside the courthouse, boutiques along the street; pony rides, cake sales and a decorating contest, an eye-opening display of county artisans and crafts at the Library, an historic film at the Historical Society (free) together with Polaroid portraits made very reasonable in front of the building, and jousting at 4 p.m. on the Judge Snead property will keep the afternoon from lagging. OPEN house at all town showrooms will add to the abundance of things to do and see. And there will be lots of music: one group will play at the Country Store and, at the courthouse there will be folk music beginning about 3 p.m. and carrying on until 6. Individuals and organizations will show and sell their wares in booths along the street. Reservations may still be made for rental space by contacting Mrs. Ellen Manson or Mrs. Ruth Clark. Two final flourishes: please wear a colonial costume if possible and plan to attend the climatic events at Avon Hall, beginning shortly after 6. The Carrigans again invite everyone to wind up the Fourth with them in a festive way terminating in fireworks as heretofore. It will be a day to remember! Raymond Johnson of Woodville was recognized Wednesday for 20 years of service as an ASCS committeeman. He received a certificate and pin from ASCS office Executive Director Thomas Eddins, right. James F. Massie of Amissville received recognition for 15 years service and Thomas Taylor of Sperryville, committee chairman, left, made his presentation. Fireworks tradition AS A PART OF THE Rappahannock County Bicentennial celebration, Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan will again hold an evening program followed by a fireworks display at Avon Hall in Washington. The Carrigans invite county residents to join in this patriotic salute. After the extensive Country Fair which will be held in the town from noon until the evening, everyone is invited to gather on the hillside behind the courthouse overlooking Avon Lake for the evening’s entertainment beginning at 6 p.m. and ending with a spectacle of beautiful fireworks over the lake. “Bring blankets, pilktws or folding chairs; bring a picnic supper, If you like,” said Mr. pirrigan. “Park on Gay Street or in the town and come via the town^monument. If you have food or drinks, please keep refuse or litter contained,” he said. “Because of limited parking at Avon Hall, no vehicles will be allowed to park at the entrance the driveway,” said Mr. Carrigan. “Rest room facilities will be provided during the day and evening for the use of the public. “Several new and interesting skits will provide exciting entertainment. You will hear the Four Chaplains in a truly impressive thanksgiving service with George Washington’s prayer and a 50-voice choir” said Mr. Carrigan. “You will be introduced to some of the great figures of the Revolution and hear some of their immortal words. You will see, perhaps, the largest flag in the Piedmont area on display and the famous 15-man (or boy) Potomac Fife and Drum Corps will thrill you. A full program will be published next week,” he said.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Wine country? WHEN wine grape plantings were first begun in this area, some old-time farmers were openly skeptical—if not downright discouraging. Cattlemen, grain growers and orchardists were flatly doubtful of any commercial possibility in this quaint hobby activity. Well, that was four or five years ago, and in the interim literally thousands of fine grape vines have been planted throughout this area, including Rappahannock County. A vineyard near Flint Hill has obtained a federal license and is selling its product as fast as it can turn it out; another is thriving near Middleburg. Numerous amateur operations are also doing well, some of these with a potential for commercial onerations. And now comes word that a Europeanbacked operation plans to develop a huge wine operation in the Virginia Piedmont, near Charlottesville. Obviously, a lot of serious people are taking seriously the prospects of this area becoming “the Burgundy of America,” to use the prophetic words of Dr. Konstantin Frank, the genius who has proved conclusively that the finest wine grapes can thrive in an environment (New York State) far harsher than Virginia’s. He thinks this area holds far more promise, and his record commands attention. Robert DeTreville Lawrence of The Plains, who has been something of a pioneer in local wine experimentations, agrees whole-heartedly with Frank, and has been trying— largely in vain—to enlist the help of Virginia Tech in promoting a wine industry for Virginia. He’s been persistant, and indications are that Blacksburg is finally beginning to pay attention. Undoubtedly, the Italian decision at Charlottesville will serve as a stimulus to this interest. AND as Lawrence says, what better money crop for the Piedmont? Wine grapes don’t suffer from dry weather, they thrive in it; they don’t suffer from wet weather, thanks to new fungicide developments; UltJj UUII t O Uilv A freezes (while apples and peaches were being wiped out, the local grape vines suffered not a bit this spring); and if the finest grape vines are cultivated, the dollar yield per acre could be larger than any other money crop now being cultivated in this part of the country. These are persuasive arguments. We still don’t know if the potential is as great as many of the experts claim. But things sure are pointing in that direction. Who knows? Maybe rows of cultivated arbors will dot the Piedmont’s hillsides, instead of rows of ticky tacky commuter hovels.

Thistle control Weevils being tried in Warren County - By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH AN innovative approach to the growing problem of thistle infestation is being tried in neighboring Warren County with positive results. VPI extension agents, under the direction of entomologist Dr. Lr T. Kok, have been releasing the thistle head weevil, Rhinocyllus conicus, in areas plagued with bull, musk and plumeless thistles. Hie weevil feeds on the plant’s flower head, preventing the release of viable seed. Valuable pasture is lost whenever thistles occur. According to Extension specialists, one thistle plant to 16 square feet reduces iroro fTA percent or 470 pounds of dry forage per acre. Thistles now inhabit at least 40 Western Virginia counties and are continuing to spread. “They’re a big problem here in Warren County,” says extension agent Gary DeOms. The first release of 500 weevils in Warren occured in 1969 on 50 acres heavily infested with thistles. “We didn’t see much happening until 1973,” said DeOms. “Now it’s hard to find over a couple hundred thistles on the 50 acres.” DeOms said that thistles are not native to North America but were brought from Europe in the latter part of the eighteenth century. “There were no natural predators here so the thistles just took off and went! The thistle head weevil, imported from France, is the thistle’s natural predator.” HE explained that the adult weevil hibernates from late August The larva of the thistle weevil is the stage in the bug’s life cycle important in a biological control program. After hatching from egss laid on the underside of a plant, the larva burrow into the thistle’s flower head and eat the tips of the seeds inside, making it impossible for the seeds to germinate. The thistle plant then dies without spreading. The adult thistle weevil hatches in August and then hibernates until early May. When the thistles begin to form flower heads, the female lays between 150 to 200 eggs on the underside of the plant and then dies. until early May, when the thistle starts forming a flower head. The female lays 150 to 200 eggs protected by a mud daub covering on the underside of the plant. The eggs hatch as larva in early June and burrow into the center of the thistle, feeding on the seed tips. Once the tips are devoured, the seeds are unable to germinate and the plant dies without spreading. The weevils will never eat all the thistles in Warren County. DeOms explained that “stability,” not complete eradication, is the goal of a biological control program. The incidence of thistles will continue to decrease, while the weevil population increases, until there are only pockets of thistles left. Then the number of weevils will also decrease in response to the limited food supply necessary to support the weevil’s life cycle. Using the weevil as a control has met with the greatest success to date in Pulaski County, where a 95 percent control of thistle growth was achieved on a thousaid acre project, according to DeOms. THE question most often asked the VPI specialists involved in the weevil program is “What do they eat when the thistles are gone?” “Extensive studies were done before the weevil was ever introduced to this continent,” answered DeOms. “It was kept in quarantine for five or ten years and offered everything under the sun to eat. Except for the dandelion, in insignificant amounts, it wouldn’t eat anything but thistles. The weevil seems to be addicted to thistles!” A second type of weevil, imported from Italy, is now also being released. The new weevil feeds on the growing tip of the thistle and kills the plants before the flower head is ever formed. While new releases are being made, DeOms said that extension specialists have great hopes for the unaided spread of the weevil. According to DeOms, Dr. Kok has found the thistle head weevil, which can fly, 20 miles away from a single release site. In Warren, the weevil has spread across the Shenandoah River under its own power. DeOms said the thistle head weevils are released in May in time to breed and lay eggs. They are placed by hand, ten at a time, on the seed head of the thistle. A single release will include approximately 70 females and 30 males. The Italian weevil, which crawls instead of flies, is released in mass when the plants have reached the rosette stage. IN Fauquier County, Nic Kortlandt of Rectortown is experimenting with weevils. While using the more conventional spray control measures on most of his farm, Kortlandt released 25 weevils in a pasture bordering on a neighbor’s thistle-ridden field. Kortlandt hopes the weevil’s efforts will eventually include his neighbor’s property but as yet, (IV O 0VVI1 “There are bugs there but I’m not sure how many are thistle weevils,” saidKortlandt. VPI specialists are scheduled to visit his farm to check on the program’s progress. BESIDES the little mud-daubed eggs on the underside of the thistle flower, the weevil leaves other tell-tale signs of infestation. As the flower begins to dry, the center portion that goes to seed develops a' tuft or protrusion that extends beyond the rest of the flower head. Once the weevil popula tion increases to where activity is noticeable, flower heads with their weevil passengers can be transported to other sites. In addition to regular releases, DeOms said that Warren County plans to develop five one-acre test plot areas where the growth in weevil population can be closely monitored and studied in relation to the lower incidence of thistles. DeOms hopes that this will give the experiments a degree of validity that will gain the weevil widespread acceptance as a solution to the area thistle problem. RAPPAHANNOCK extension agent Rapley Owings said that thistles aren’t a major concern in Rappahannock County, yet. “We don’t have a problem like Warren,” said Owings, who guessed that the few thistles in Rappahannock crossed over the line from Warren. “We hope the thistle weevil migrates down this way too,” he added. Phil Irwin released about 100 weevils in May to control musk thistle activity on his farm outside Flint Hill. Phyllis Irwin said her husband brought the weevils back from an agricultural conference at VPI that was addressed by Dr. Kok. The weevils seem to have adjusted to their relocation since the Irwins have noticed signs of weevil activity. Warren County Extension agent Gary DeOms examines thistles for evidence of weevil activity. Rhinocyllus conicus, a weevil addicted to a diet of thistles and only thistles, has been released throughout Warren County in a biological control program administered by the VPI Department of Entomology under the direction of Dr. L. T. Kok.

Our hearts ache with loneliness, Our eyes shed many a tear, God knows how much we miss you, As it ends the first sad year. Loving thoughts still wander, To the spot where you are laid, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. I remember when we were happy, Other times troubled and sad, But most of all I remember, The wonderful mother we had. As I stand by your grave, and place flowers there with care, I can almost hear you say, I know you are there. When days are dark and lonely, And everything seems to go wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, Cheer up and carry on.
