Rappahannock News, March 24, 1977

IU f 7 1,078 lots on record in county By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH RAPPAHANNOCK County has 49 subdivisions with a total of 1,078 lots already platted, according to a report submitted to the Planners by Eva Dahlgren at last Wednesday’s meeting. Commission members had recently expressed concern over the lack of information on the county’s growth. “We need to know what we’ve got before we go ahead approving more,’’ said Planner Walter Masterson at the February meeting when the Commission considered a Flint Hill subdivision application. “If we can’t make sense of what you’ve given us, it will be our fault, not yours,” Chairman Herbert Barksdale told Miss Dahlgren on Wednesday. “We now know what we have” and are in a better position to assess the impact of future growth, he said. At the request of County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner, Miss Dahlgren volunteered to compile a list of the county’s existing subdivisions as part of her independent senior project at Garrison Forest School. She spent two weeks going over the Clerk’s office plat books, the Commissioner of Revenue’s records, and Piedmont Environmental Council maps, looking for development of five lots or more with lot sizes of 25 acres or less. The information was scattered, making her job all the more difficult, noted Miss Dahlgren. She suggested that the definition of “subdivision” and how one is recorded should be standardized throughout all the county offices. Followup work on all land transactions should be done to locate “creeping subdividions,” she suggested. Miss Dahlgren felt that her study had shown the inefficiency of what had been done to keep track of county growth. “Pastplanningme^ thods need to be revised,” she maintained. She emphasized that her information was probably incomplete, that some subdivided lots were not shown on her list. Even after going to the PEC offices in Warrenton for help, she said she was unable to locate between 18 and 20 subdivisions shown on the PEC maps. PLANNER Newbill Miller called Miss Dahlgren’s job “the best that’s been done yet.’’ He suggested that the assessor pinpoint the number of subdivided lots that have been built on during the next reassessment. “I think it would be very easy for the assessor to do if he understood what we wanted.” “We’re greatly indebted to you for the work you’ve done on this,” Barksdale told Miss Dahlgren. “It will be worth a whole lotto us.” “We like the price too,” of the free, volunteer effort, added Miller. In other matters related to determining existing land use in the county, the Planners heard from Gene Wunderlich on a propsed Rappahannock Land Information System. Wunderlich said a continuing study has been attempting to find a method of consolidating the information on existing development for the last couple of years. Pieces of information are already on record with the clerk, the Commissioner of Revenue and the county treasurer. The problem, said Wunderlich focuses around finding a unique “identifier” to use in putting the information into a system. He suggested tying all the pertinent information together with a “geocode” or lo cater index number on each of the 5,300 land parcels in Rappahannock. Wunderlich felt that three types of information should be included with the geocode—ownership, transfer records and land use. OwnSee Pace 2 The large frame house owned by Emerson Smith near Amissville was destroyed by fire Tuesday. Only a small amount of furniture was saved from the first floor as flames lapped their way through the length of the house. Mr. Smith who was in bed, sustained a cut hand as he escaped and was treated at Warren Memorial Hospital and released. Two other occupants of the house also escaped but several pets were reportedly burned in the building. Mileage claims are investigated AN investigation of mileage claims submitted by Sheriff William A. Buntin and his deputies is being conducted by the Virginia State Police, apparently at the request of Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis. While Davis declined to comment on the probe—replying to repeated questions “I’m not going to say anything until the investigation is complete”—he did comment: I’m not doing this for the publicity.” Davis also said he had no idea how long the investigation would take, but that he would have a statement to release when he received a report from the state investigators. At the February meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, Davis submitted a memorandum to the Board stating that in his opinion it was improper to pay mileage for patrolling or policing highway traffic, or for patrolling oi policing business or certain residences, “unless a complaint has been received that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed at such location.” DAVIS had maintained earlier that patrolling the county is the responsibility of the state police. Buntin, on the other hand, insists that patrolling and policing are part of the job he was elected to fill.

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Lots of lots SOMETIMES you can discover a problem you didn’t even know you had. Take the members of the Rappahannock Planning Commission, for example. While they’ve been worrying about how to keep Rappahannock County from being overrun by the type of suburban sprawl that has paved over so much of neighboring Virginia, there were 1,078 building lots being put on record. The commissioners are indebted to a hard-working student, Eva Dahlgren, for this revelation, and as Chairman Herbert Barksdale commented, in thanking her for her valuable work, “If we can’t make sense of what you’ve given us, it will be our fault. We now know what we have...” And what we have is a potential for almost doubling the present population of rural Rappahannock County—if all those lots were developed. SO WHAT, somebody asks? So we’d have to provide more classroom space, more teachers, more school buses, more police protection, more building site controls, more of everything that goes into the tax bill. So we’d have another once-rural county on the way to becoming just another developing county with skyrocketing problems—and those tax bills. It doesn’t seem so bad when it’ just starting. A house going up here, another one over there. The fields still seem to be vast and unspoiled, the mountains serene and introubled. But then you might step outside of a balmy evening, to take the breezes and admire the stars, and notice that little house lights are blinking over the landscape, as far as you can see. It’s not the same inspiring sight as those twinkling stars. THE MOST obvious lesson to be learned from Miss Dahlgren’s research is that people who love Rappahannock County cannot afford to be complacent, to think that “it won’t happen here.” And the second point is one she also made, that better, more coordinated record-keeping of building activity is needed. Otherwise, things could get out of hand before anyone knew what had hit them. As a matter of fact, it’s pretty close to that point already. □ T Letters to the editor Answers are needed Editor: In your letters to the editor column last week entitled “Protect die County,” “Ima Farmer” promised a series of similar epistles. Hallelujah! Assuming Ima really Isa Farmer and the Rappahannock News continues to be the historical forum for local public debate, page 2 may yet become more worthwhile than your front and back pages. However, let me encourage your Dseudo-named author to quickly state the obvious, ask all the questions and get on with any recommended answers. Certain individuals have planned good Rappahannock farmland soon to be five acre liabilities for farmers as well as everyone else. Two hundred years of history and tradition plus clear demands for the future deserve far greater reverence and understanding. Phil Irwin Pres., RLEP RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture YOU MAY WRMFMBF.R reading about John Bauserman, a young, successful farmer from Fauquier County, whose sheep flock ranked second in the Virginia State returns per ewe contest. His 464 ewes produced 680 lambs and 4,199 pounds of wool that sold for $39,333. A return of $85 per ewe. John is very interested in seeing the sheep industry return as a viable, growth industry in the Piedmont. JOHN AND THE EXTENSION AGENTS in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock have been sharing ideas and working together to see what can be done to revitalize the sheep industry in this area. With this in mind we are inviting sheep producers and potential sheep producers to get together next Tuesday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Northern Virginia Electric Coop, just south of Culpeper on Route 29. If you are sincerely interested we would like to exchange ideas with you on what is needed to develop a strong, slow growth, quality sheep program. Before you leave you may even decide to form a five-county sheep producers’ association. SPRING FEEDER CATTLE SALES—If you are planning on selling your feeder cattle in the state graded spring sales, you had better get moving - consignment forms for most of the area sales are due now. Sale Dates— Culpeper, April 21; Front Royal, April 26; Marshall, April 7 and 21; Winchester, April 8 and 22. □ Scholarship Two presentations will be made this year from the Francis J. Leonard Scholarship fund under the sponsorship of the Rappahannock County Garden Club. The amounts are $300 and $200 and eligibility requirements are that the student be a resident of Rappahannock County and be in his or her 12th year of school. The scholarship may be used for tuition or living expenses in connection with any liberal arts, the professions or vocational training school. Applications are available at Rappahannock County High School and must be in to C. E. Johnson, Jr., Sperryville by April 15. □ Candidates Twelve candidates have applied for the position of Clerk of the Circuit Court to replace Mr. E.M. Jones who is retiring in July. Tests and interviews will be conducted by the Judges of the Circuit Court on Saturday, April 2nd at 9:00 a.m. at the Courthouse in Washington. □ A 1,078 lots on record m county r run r * ership can be found in land books, on assessment cards, through cross reference in the Commissioner of Revenue’s office and from the county treasurer’s mailing list. Transfer records are available from the Clerk’s office receipt book. “When well kept, it’s a gold mine of information,” said Wunderlich. “A great deal of what can be done here (with transfer and ownership records) can be done without computers,” said Wunderlich. He stressed that his attempts to develop an information system centered around the design of a low-cost, efficient system for rural counties like Rappahannock. Quoting Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale, Wunderlich emphasized that “we can’t do anything until we know what's going on.” “THERE’S no ready made data bank” on land use, the third area of information that should be tied into a geocode, said Wunderlich. Some information exists from building permits, zoning actions and a Comprehensive Plan, “provided it’s updated’’ with additional records available from the United States Department of Agriculture and the local Planning District. Collecting land use data would probably be the most expensive aspect of implementing a land information system, said Wunderlich. Geocodes could be affixed to each parcel of land by using a grid in conjunction with the assessment office maps of the county. There are 60 such maps for Rappahannock, each map 2.5 minutes in longitude and latitude and containing about 4100 acres. By placing a grid on top of the maps, each one could be divided into basic units of 41 acres and a geocode set for the point in the center of each parcel. Wunderlich hesitated on giving the Planners any cost figures for implementing the land information system. “I don’t want to give any estimates tonight. ’ ’ Instead, he suggested that the county study his proposals, decide exactly what type of information was wanted and then call in an expert for an estimate on cost. Approximately how much will the county save in recordkeeping? asked Planner Pete Luke. “We have not been able to attach a dollar value mi that,” answered Wunderlich. He said the county could have answers to land use questions in a week rather than after several months of study but the only actual savings shown in his study were in labor. How long would it take to compute a tax book with the land information system? asked Luke. “About a minute,” answered Wunderlich. “It now takes us about three months,” Luke responded. “The thing is, every piece of information can be tied to the geocode,” said Baumgardner, and could then be cross referenced quickly. WUNDERLICH told the Planners that he would supply them with a manuscript that inducted greater detail on the proposed system. Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District Director John Capelle noted that this type of process is going on in a number of other Virginia localities. A regional system in the Lynchburg area is being set up through the Planning District offices there so that each county can tap the information, according to Capelle.D

Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors E.M. Jones, Clerk Johnsongrass taking over your corn? Get Eradicane' Selective Herbicide ^Eracficai*' Johnsongrass, as strong a weed as you’ll ever see, can put you out of the corn business if left unchecked. An Eradicane herbicide program is the answer. Here’s how to use it. Plow early and disc several times to chop the johnsongrass rhizomes into pieces about 4 inches long. Then disc in Eradicane thoroughly. Plant fields infested with johnsongrass last, so the soil is warm. This way, corn grows fast to make a quick ground cover without weed competition. Eradicane also controls many other grass and broadleaf weeds. That’s the Eradicane herbicide program... it works so well performance is guaranteed in the continental United States when used as the label directs, or Stauffer will replace the product. Verify purchase, leave a check strip and notify Stauffer promptly. This season control seedling johnsongrass and thoroughly suppress the rhizomes. Use Eradicane. Always follow label directions carefully. See your Stauffer supplier for Eradicane. Eradicane from Stauffer Chemical Company Agricultural Chemical Division P.O.

Let's Ted It like It Is DEPEND ON US FOR j L MORE Increased famine in the developing world in Asia, Africa and Latin America is inevitable because: 1. Food production cannot keep pace with runaway growth in population, and 2. Population growth in those areas is out of control. It cannot, and will not, be stopped irr the foreseeable fu- ' ture, using conventional methods now being practiced or contemplated by our foreign aid establishment. Last year. The Environmental Fund sponsored an advertisement (“The Real Crisis Behind the Food Crisis") which elaborated on the above statement. Its publication stimulated a surprising 23,000 replies (all but 13 in agreement with the analysis). Many asked, "What can we do about it?" Indeed, how can Americans ameliorate the impending tragedy? First, we must understand that we are being misled into believing that the United States has no problem with excessive population growth. second, we are being misled into thinking that many poor nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America are successfully coping with their runaway population growth. Both assumptions are wrong. The United States has a serious population problem; the vast majority of the hungry nations have an even more serious one. Yet nearly all nations, the United States included, lack any sort of population stabilization program. Most do not want one. Unless people lower the birth rate (or nature raises the death rate) the world's population will quadruple during the lifetime of many of us now reading this page. This insupportable growth is not the result of an increase in the birth rate. It is the result of a precipitous drop in the death rate, with no accompanying drop in the birth rate. It takes no special foresight to see that birth rates must come down, or death rates' will climb to what used to be considered "normal". The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that the world can no longer rely on U.S. food aid gifts or concessional sales to fill the world food gap. This unusually candid declaration from the USDA provoked an immediate and vigorous response from various groups, organizations and individuals. Some, recognizing the wastes of an affluent society, declared that the problem was not limited capacity, but a reluctance to distribute resources fairly. Others declared that it was a moral imperative for us to become the "breadbasket of the world", today, and that the future would take care of itself. Still others are lobbying in Washington to establish food aid as "the cornerstone of our foreign policy", i.e., charity-by-law. Even granting the consent of the taxpayers and the good intentions of the lobbyists, this course of action is a prescription for disaster. THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF FOOD AID Consider what food aid does. 7 Each piece of land has a specific carrying capacity. That capacity can be altered by fertilizer, improved management, and superior crop varieties. But there are still definite limits to how many people a given unit of land can support. Food aid violates the carrying capacity principle by artificially allowing more people to live on the land than can live from it. Today, in order to provide large amounts of food aid, the donor country must overcultivate its own land, farming marginal acres, destroying the topsoil, and reducing its future ability to produce. When a 10,000 ton freighter loaded to the scuppers with U.S. wheat sails forth, it carries with it 200 tons of nitrogen, 41 tons of phosphorus, and 50 tons of potassium—all lost forever from the fertility of our soils. THE INVERTED ETHICS OF FOOD AID Food aid also enables the donor to postpone facing the grim reality which no one wants to face, which is: unless population growth is stabilized, the inescapable result of saving lives today will be an even greater * number of lives lost tomorrow. Those who ask the United States to increase its foreign aid commitment so that more food may be sent to the hungry overseas, simply misunderstand the problem: there are now too many people for the carrying capacity of the land. This year, the world's population will add 93 million people; next year, 95 million. Within eight years, 800 million people will be added to the world. Nearly all of the 123 countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America— whether or not they have "benefited" from the U.S. foreign aid program—now have more poor, more illiterate, more hungry people than they had when this program began. Yet today, the U.S. development establishment allows recipient nations to count on food shipments from this country or to depend on the empty promise that those shipments will continue tomorrow—no matter how large populations grow. This is a cruel deception. By means of promises, declarations and resolutions, the United States is assuming a role it cannot play, and responsibilities it cannot carry out. This perception of the United States as a limitless cornucopia is a dangerous delusion to all concerned. It is dangerous to Americans because it isn't true, and, like all evasions of reality, it eventually leads to disillusionment and despair. But it is an even more dangerous disservice to the leaders of the crowded and hungry nations. Belief in these promises enables them also to evade reality, to evade the hard decisions that must be made if their mushrooming populations are to be matched by their own resources. WHAT AMERICA CAN DO AT HOME AND ABROAD In order to help anyone at all—at home or abroad—Americans must learn to distinguish fact (the carrying capacity of the land) from fancy ("We can feed the world, if we really want to"). We must learn to distinguish pride in our achievements from the vanity of our ambitions. America cannot control the world, but perhaps we can influence policy. We can do it better and more honestly if the United States first puts its own house in order—which means

facing the American population problem (our own growth rate will double our population in 47 years). To put our own house in order, the United States should: A. Enact a national population stabilization program B. Encourage smaller families C. Stop illegal immigration, which now doubles our annual growth rate D. Balance legal immigration with emigration All of these are necessary steps for our own benefit; in addition, they wilt also enable us to face our overpopulated neighbors with a clearer conscience and increased credibility. Obviously, our most direct opportunity to deal with the population problem abroad is in the area of foreign policy, and there we should: E. Stop any U.S. foreign aid program which encourages population growth One way of doing this would be for the Congress to enact a Resolution along these lines: WHEREAS we are aware, and are rightly fearful, of the ominous consequences of the growing world food/population crisis; and WHEREAS the consequences of continued population growth will be increased human misery; and WHEREAS increasing food production and/or availability, which lowers the death rate without influencing the birth rate, accelerates population growth; and WHEREAS agricultural production cannot keep pace with a world population growth rate that would double our numbers every twenty-five years; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that it is the sense of Congress that a moratorium be declared on all U.S. food aid and technical assistance to any country if: 1. its population growth rate is above the world average, unless 2. it officially acknowledges that its national birth rate must be lowered and unless it adopts stringent measures to control population growth, which measures must be <*s judged adequate by the United States as the donor nation. What would be the value of such a moratorium? It might awaken the leadership of the developing countries to the urgency of their population problem. For the United States, through this Resolution, to say it cannot endorse the unrestricted use of its assistance funds, because to do so will increase the sum of human suffering, would be a total reversal of what the world has been hearing for the pest quarter of a century. Why haven't the leaders of the developing world taken the necessary steps to check their population growth rates? Why are countries with the fastest-growing populations often the least willing to acknowledge the existence of a problem? One answer is the optimism generated by the American scientific community and development establishment. Year after year, since we initiated the foreign aid crusade, the leadership of the hungry nations has heard that the agricultural profession can solve the food problem if given enough support. It cannot. A moratorium would not eliminate all foreign assistance. Our government should continue not only to help, but to expand its assistance to those few developing countries with population growth rates lower than the world average. But it should concentrate its assistance on those countries which clearly show through active practices, a determination to decelerate their rate of population growth. The moratorium would affect only these nations which will not do so. Many will feel that such a moratorium is morally wrong. Those who feel this way must weigh the morality of the moratorium against the morality of any action which contributes to overpopulation. Overpopulation today makes it impossible for half of those within the hungry nations to have the diet necessary to protect them against debilitating diseases that bring early death. Overpopulation makes whole nations dependent upon the vagaries of the weather to prevent famine in their lands. Overpopulation leads to more suffering and more deaths, to war, and to chaos. Nonfe of this is new, but the number of people involved is new. Who, then, are the moral—those who advocate steps that will decelerate population growth, or those who advocate steps that will encourage population growth? A moratorium on assistance will not abandon the developing world of Asia, Africa and Latin America to a' future without resources. We sometimes forget that the world consists of independent nations that possess convictions of their own and the ability to order their priorities on how to spend their money. Every year they spend, for instance, $28 billion on armaments. We may not think this makes much sense, but it is their decision. Might not declaring a moratorium on assistance be the alarm signal that would alert the leadership of such countries to the necessity for different decisions? For too long, we have tried to solve the food crisis without trying to solve the problem which causes it. Confusing the effect with the cause, we have been told to tighten our belts, and "asceticize" our diets, so that more food could be shipped to the world's hungry. None of the variations on this theme deal with the cause of the crisis: runaway population growth. Whether your most urgent concern is peace, freedom, the food supply, civil liberties, the environment or social justice, it's a lost cause unless the population of the world is stabilized. We share these concerns, and all are compelling reasons why population stabilization is essential. If you have a better solution, tell us. Tell us how you would solve the problem.
