20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the July 27, 1967 edition
Mrs. Byrd Jones of Washington
and Paul Nichols, Flint Hill were reelected to represent Hampton and Wakefield Districts, respectively, on the Rappahannock County School Board. This action was taken at a meeting of the Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board at a meeting held July 21.
W. H. Lyne, Extension Agent Agriculture, spotted what he feared to be Johnson grass, in Rappahannock County Tuesday. Much to his regret, an examination of the roots proved his suspicions were right. This is the first Johnson grass he has ever seen in the county. Johnson grass closely resembles Sudan grass but may be distinguished from the latter which lacks underground rhizomes. Johnson grass, explained Lyne, reproduces from seed and rhizomes. Of all weed pests known by Lyne, Johnson grass is the most feared, most damaging to crops and the most persistent.
