HRS SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Examples to heed “NO man is an island, entire of itself,” wrote John Donne in the 17th Century, and neither is a county in Virginia an island, unrelated to what goes on around it. Rappahannock citizens should know this better than most— power generated in far-distant locations would be routed through our beautiful county via hideous, dominating powerline structures, if the electricity magnates have their way. It’s the same with a lot of other factors in our society. Broad highways reaching into urban centers create pressures on our rural landscape. A factory in a neighboring county can pollute our air. Suburban development in another neighboring jurisdiction can overcrowd our country roads. And the biggest pressure for change originates all the way “down country/’ in Washington, D.C. People seeking relief from the often intolerable pressures of modern urban life are producing the greatest pressures for changing the Rappahannock landscape. This is noted not to deplore the new citizens— as they’ve been valuable additions, by and large, and the county is in many ways a livelier and more interesting place because of them. But if we are not to destroy the very thing we love—the beauty of Rappahannock—the need exists for some careful decisions about our county’s future. ONE guide to reaching decisions about land use problems and zoning and planning considerations is provided by our neighbors and nearby jurisdictions. How they’ve reacted to development pressures could give us valuable information about how to avoid costly and damaging mistakes. In Northern Virginia and the Northern Piedmont, the examples began with Arlington and Alexandria and Fairfax. Then the suburban pox spread NOTICE—Pictures for publication must be black and white. Color pictures will not be accepted. Social news which is more than three weeks old will not be accepted.__ _- o to Prince William and Loudoun, and it’s edging now into Fauquier and Stafford and Clarke. And Rappahannock. Perhaps the best neighbors to watch at this precise stage of the suburban invasion are Fauquier and Loudoun. Fauquier, unfortunately, shows every sign of wanting to let down the flood gates. Despite a reputation for having public officials who want to “control” growth at an “orderly” pace, the actual performance of public officials in that county has been something to the contrary. Rules and regulations formulated at one time to protect the countryside and discourage ugly and improper development are being weakened or thrown out entirely. Developers and exploiters are being accommodated at every turn. Such destroyers of the countryside as regional sewers and super highways have been embraced without question, and the entire emphasis in Fauquier is for growth, growth, growth. IN Loudoun, which has experienced more growth than Fauquier already, the citizens and public officials seem to have learned a different lesson. They say “no” to developers at every opportunity. Just this past week, the county planners said “no” to another re-zoning request which they felt would overtax the county’s ability to handle—in schools, police, utilities, &c. — and they recommended denial of the rezoning. The Supervisors have been sued repeatedly by developers, so far unsuccessfully, but they continue to not only talk about trying to save what is left of Loudoun’s rural heritage, but they’re also willing to act in support of that goal. Please, Rappahannock citizens and officials. Heed the example of Loudoun, and not Fauquier. Don’t let our lovely county go the way of Prince William and Fairfax, or Fauquier. Let’s protect Rappahannock’s beautiful heritage so that we can pass on something of what we enjoy to future generations, and not toss it all out the window for the illustion of quick-buck benefits. □ RAPP CHATS By RAP O WINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture FArH YEAR more RAPPAHANNOCK cattlemen are turning to EACH itAK wintpr crazing and reduce the amount of toil f;sJ“e ^ winter thei/cow herd.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TO THE LOCUST TREES? — We have received a number of calls from concerned people inquiring about the brown and apparently dying locust trees in several areas in the county. The culprit is the locust leaf miner that appears to be having a real population explosion this year. This small brownish beetle lays its eggs on the leaf surface. And the new hatched larva penetrate the leaf and mine out the inside. Their population explosion appears to occur in long term irregular cycles. And based on past observation, I would expect all but the weak and diseased locust trees to be back in good health next spring. QUITE A YOUNGSTER—The word is quietly spreading about a record breaking youngster named “Doc.” His daddy is a Simmental and his mammy is a Holstein and at 169 days of age this bull calf weighs a whopping 725 pounds.

We will keep you posted on his progress. □ Wine festival WHAT do 12 dozen corkscrews, purple-stained feet, sodium metabisulfite, 12,000 vines and a huge bottle filled with red liquid have in common? Answer: They are all part of a Bicentennial Wine Festival being held August 28, a Saturday near Middleburg. "The corkscrews and sodium metabisulfite (a wine purifying agent) are parts of a number of displays of winemaker s’equipment and wine-related items; the purple-stained feet will result from a grape stomping contest; the vines laden with hanging clusters of ripe grapes will be seen on three separate vineyard tours; and the large bottle of wine will go to a lucky Festival guest.

Hutt criticizes Reagan decision “The voter who chooses between Carter-Mondale and Reagan-Schweiker is like the man who calls heads on the toss of a coin— which has tails on both sides. He loses either way,” said Dr. James B. Hutt of Warrenton. The American Party candidate for Congress from Virginia’s Seventh District thinks that Reagan’s choice of Richard Schweiker for running mate “exposes the obvious contempt of the Republican Party for conserative, middle-class Americans.” ‘‘By his selection of Schweiker”, Dr. Hutt continued, ‘‘Ronald Reagan, supposedly conserative, but a liberal by past performance, shows his true colors and his willingness to use any means to become elected and his willingness to bow to the dictates of the powerful men who control both major political parties and our nation. Regan’s conservatism is as phony as a one dollar bill.” .. ....— - David Yokum takes a “snake-break” from his position in the AmissviUe post office and killed this timber rattler near Washington Wednesday morning. .

Kenneth Robinson made this comment on Ronald Reagan’s selection of Pennsylvania Senator Richard S. Schweiker to be his vice presidential running mate, should Reagan win the Republican nomination: “I am surprised and disappointed by Governor Reagan’s choice of a prospective naming mate. A Reagan-Schweiker ticket would have a divisive effect within the Republican Party and disenchant many conservative independents. “Governor Reagan’s base of support in his quest for the Republican Presidential nomination has been solidly conservative. His choice of a Senator with one of the most pronounced liberal voting records of Republicans in Congress is most difficult to understand.

Trends were c Soil surveys available WHILE the lander from the Viking spacecraft is making a survey of the soil on the planet Mars, Soil Scientists of the USDA Soil Conservation Service and of the Agronomy Department of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University are making surveys in 19 Virginia counties at the same time, said D. N. Grimwood, State Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service in Virginia. Space scientist will be looking for clues that will help determine if life exists or ever has existed on Mars. Earth soil scientists are looking for clues that help predict the behavior of soils in support of plant and animal life on Earth, Grimwood noted. “Soil survey information is used by a wide variety of people who make decisions in regard to the use of land. Farmers need to know what kinds of crop yields they can obtain and they need to know how much soil loss they can expect if they cultivate certain soils. Foresters can predict how fast a tree will grow or if a particular species is adapted. Wildlife managers can plan measures that will result in better food supply and improve habitat for birds and animals if they have soil survey information,” said Grimwood. Soil survey information can be obtained for Rappahannock County | by contacting Bill Adams, Dis- | trict Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service, who is headquartered at 604 South Main Street in Culpeper. Soil investigations were made in Rappahannock County and published as the “Soil Survey Rappahannock County, Virginia” in 1961. This information is useful in making land use decisions.

IN MEMORIAM Ida Clanagan Patterson. In loving memory. Perhaps you sang a lovely song, Or sat quietly in a chair; Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, If so, we saw them there. Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words, As any friend could say; Perhaps you were not there at all— Just thought of us that day. Perhaps you prepared some tasty food, Or maybe furnished a car; Perhaps you did a service unseen, Near at hand or from afar. What ever you did to comfort our hearts, We thank you so much—whatever the part.

Jacobsen. Buses will be available to transport visitors from Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadows to the former President’s retreat, starting at 10 a.m. mi both days and continuing until 4 p.m. Private automobiles will not be permitted to travel the narrow fire road because of insufficient parking space near Camp Hoover.

Tomatoes long popular in Virginia A VIRGINIAN was among the first Americans to grow and to eat the sun-red fruit once libeled by its detractors in 16th century Europe as “poisonous.” The Virginian was Thomas Jefferson and the botanically classified fruit was the tomato, a headline maker in American in 1893 when it was legally classified a vegetable by the U.S. Supreme Court. The tomato still makes headlines occasionally when botulism is traced to home canned tomatoes, as it was recently in Colorado. Despite these reports, tomatoes may still be canned safely at home, a Virginia Tech nutritionist says. Jo Anne Barton, Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition, said that although some new tomato varieties are reported to be less acid, the traditional water bath method is still recommended for most varieties grown in Virginia. The acidity of tomatoes, Barton said, protects against botulism growth, provided they are not overripe. Acidity decreases as the tomato matures, she explained. Tomatoes best suited for home canning are those well-formed, smooth and free of blemishes. Avoid overripe, bruised or sunburned tomatoes altogether, the specialist advised. Unsuited, too, for canning are tomatoes that are soft, water-soaked or those with depressed areas or surface mold. DETAILED canning directions for tomatoes are outlined in Extension publication MF-141, “To matoes,” available from local Extension offices or from the Distribution Officer, Extension Division, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. 24061. Barton provided some of the publication’s tips on tomato processing, steps for canning whole tomatoes and juice as well as steps for freezing tomatoes. To prepare tomatoes for canning, dip them into boiling water for about 30 seconds and then into cold water, thus loosening the skin. Once the skin, stem scar and core are removed, the tomatoes may be left whole or halved or quartered, she said. For raw packing, tomatoes should be packed to within one-half inch of the jar top, pressing gently to fill spaces. Since tomatoes make their own juice, the addition of water will only dilute the flavor, the specialist noted. One-half teaspoon salt should be added to pint jars, one teaspoon to quartes of raw tomatoes before running a spatula or knife between the jar and food to remove air bubbles. Then adjust jar lids and process in boiling water bath at 212 degrees F., allowing 35 minutes for pint jars and 45 minutes for quarts. FOR HOT packing, tomatoes should be boiled, stirring to keep from sticking, before packing hot in jars with one-half inch headspace. Then process in boiling ^factiinptmi area youth involved in a Summer Craft and Recreation Program play ping pong at the Rappahannock Recreation Center.

STORE Downtown Culpeper water bath canner at 212 degrees F., allowing 10 minutes for both pint and quart jars. The processing time is shorter here, the specialist noted. For tomato juice, tomatoes should be washed, the stem scar and core removed and the tomatoes cut into pieces. Then simmer tomatoes until softened, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, before running through a food mill, colander or strainer. Add one teaspoon salt for each quart of juice and bring to a boil. The boiling hot juice should then be poured into jars, leaving one half inch headspace, before adjusting jar lids and processing in boiling water bath at 212 degrees F., again allowing 10 minutes for both pint and quart jars. Barton said that while it’s still impossible to freeze whole tomatoes for fresh use, they may be frozen either in stewed or juice form. Details on freezing are in publication MF-141. Tomatoes remain one of the homemaker’s most versatile foods, Barton said, and with common sense precautions can continue to be canned safely at home.

Save surplus seeds for next year By WESLEY P. JUDKINS Virginia Tech Extension Horticulturist ARE the seeds worth saving which you had left over after planting your garden this year? Most packets now cost at least 25 cents, and many cost twice that much or more. So, it will reduce your expense next spring if you plant the seeds which you did not use this year. Although vegetable and flower seeds gradually lose their viability, most typed may be kept for several years, and still germinate and produce satisfactory crops. This practice may result in considerable savings for the home gardener. After your last planting has been made this summer, place your seeds in a tin, glass, or plastic container which is air tight, and store over winter in your refrigerator or deep freeze. This method of storage will allow very slow loss of viability. If you have no space available in a refrigerated storage, place your seeds in a tight can or jar, in the dark', in a cool basement. Seeds may lose viability quite rapidly in the warm temperatures of the average home. In general, garden seeds may be divided into three groups, in terms of their longevity, when stored under cool basement conditions. Short life span seeds should give satisfactory germina RANDYS FLOWERS Weekend Special BOUQUET $1.99 CASH & CARRY I S3 E DAVIS ST. 825-4440 Culpeper SPECIAL SALE Prices Cut Drastic Reductions on ALL Appliances FPCI-170T-7 You'll find 17.0-cu-ft of well organized space inside this 100% Frost-Proof Frigidaire refrigerator-freezer, including a 4.75-cu-ft freezer compartment. *489.95 Now only Sale thru August 14 tion for one or two years. Medium life span seeds usually will remain viable for three or four years. Medium life seeds should grown after storage of five to six years, and sometimes longer. ACCURATE information on the longevity of flower seeds is hard to find. Based mi limited observations, the following should be considered as short life span seeds: astor, candytuft, cleome, columbine, honesty, kochia, phlox, salvia, strawflower and vinca. Some of the more common flowers with long life seeds are alyssum, calendula, centaurea, coreopsis, cosmos, marigold, nasturtium, petunia, salpiglosis, scabiosa, schizanthus, sweet pea, verbena, viola and zinnia. Most vegetable seeds have rather long lives, but there are a few important exceptions. For example, com, leek onion and parsnip seeds have short life spans. Those with medium longevity include beans, beet, carrot, Swiss chard, mustard, pepper, pumpkin and tomato. The seeds of other commonly grown vegetables will usually grow quite well even when five or more years old. YOU may test the germination of your seeds by placing a definite number on moist blotter paper in a dish or pan covered with plastic or glass to maintain a high humidity. Place your seed containers in a warm location and count those which germinate in 10 to 14 days. From these figures you can easily determine the percentage germination, and adjust the thickness of planting accordingly. Plant your old seeds more thickly than you do fresh ones.
