Plans are now being made for
the third lamb pool of the sea-
son to be held at the West JEFF
ferson stock yard Friday. August
%. H. D. Quessenberry, county
agent, announced this week. Far
mers are asked to bring their
lambs to market as early as pos
sible in order that loading ar
engagements can be made before
train time. Lambs should be at
the market not later than ten O.
clock, Mr.. Quessenberry pointed
out.
Producers with light weight
lambs are urged to treat them for
internal parasites in order to in
crease weight and improve the
grade of the lambs.
Choice lambs will be given top
prices and farmers are urged to
have their lambs ready. Prices on
lambs other than choice ones
have, in the past, shown con-
siderable drop.

Progress Made

E0r OOOd VI Farmers
PAGE EIGHT

Much of the progress made in
ahe Improvement of farms in
AShe county can be attributed to
ane fact that all farm agencies
are cooperating for the common
good, farm improvement.
As the sixth anniversary of the
New River Soil Conservation
District is being observed, it is
interesting to note that the AAA
program is now in its tenth year.
The first AAA program was set
4p in AShe county in 1896 with
4 very small percent of the far
ners participating in the pro-
gram. 1t has grown in favor from
year to year until about 1000
Farmers are. participating in the
E947 program.
During these years thousands
Of tons Of limestone and millions
Of pounds Of phosphate, not to
mention other materials, have
been furnished by the AAA and
applied to Ashe county farms.
Producers received more than
Sne hundred thousand dollars in
material furnished and cash pay
nents made to material purchas-
I'd in 1916. Lime, phosphate and
needs amounting to around $685.
10000 have already been furnish
I'd on the 1947 program.
Although the amount of mater
al furnished during these years
seems large it is only a start to-
ward meeting the needs of the
farms. Anyone has only to rem
amber Ashe county farms ten
years ago and compare them with
1he farms of today to appreciate
the great improvements which

PEPC0 TO Offer Plan
For Big Refund at
Hearing tuesday
BY John w. Thompson, Jr.

Hearings will open at 10 am. Tues
day before the Public Utilities Com
mission to determine how the Po.
tomac Electric Power Co. is to re-
turn to consumers more than 81 .000,-
600 of excess earnings during 1943.
The power company is expected
to present to PUG plan for spread
ing the refund over the various
classes of consumers.
The hearing follows refusal OF
the Supreme Court May to review
the Court of Appeals decision up
holding the PUG rate order of 1914
This order called for a refund of
81 ,039 900 to consumers and revised
downward the authorized rate of
return of the company under the
so-called' sliding scale system on
which electric rates here are based
Neither Side Satisfied.
The order, based on company
earnings during 1943, was imnedi-
ately attacked by the company which
held the refund too large and by
the Government - the company S
largest single consumer-which con-
tended the refund was to low. Pepco
also objected to modification of the
sliding scale by the PUG without
company consent.
Both the lower court and the
Court of Appeals upheld the PUG
order.
Under normal procedure, PUG
studies annually the earnings Of the
company for the preceding calendar
year-called the test year" Any
changes in rates are applied to the
rate year." which runs from March
l of each year.
In the present case, because OF
the court cf1aiienge of the 1914 or
der, new rate schedules were never
adopted. These, also, will be worked
out from tn hearings beginning
Tuesday. On the basis of the new
rates for 1914, company earnings
will be examined for 1945 and again
for 1916.
May Near $3,000,0O0.
Any surplus earned by the COM
pany during these three years above
the authorized rate of return will
also be added to any total of rebate
to consumers. 1t is this situation
which may boost the rebate to a
total of nearly 100000. During
the period of the litigation, the

company has been laying aside an
nually a reserve deemed by the
PUG sufficient to cover possible COM
pany obligations.
Chairman James H. Flanagan of
the commission said the rebate
could take the form either of a cash
refund to the consumer or a credit
on the bills.
In the event the study Of Pepco
finances for the years 1914, 1945
and 1946 should yield an amount
in any of the years too small to be
practical to return to consumers,
Mr.. Flanagan said the money could
be ordered into a reserve fund until
it reached sufficient size to be dis

VA Ready 10 Condemn
Nevius Tract for Site
OF 75O-Bed Hospital
By George Beveridge

The Veterans Administration took
a deep breath last night and de-
clared arrangements finally are COM
plete for getting possession of the
Nevius tract in Arlington, site Of
Washington's proposed veterans
hospital.
officials said plans have been put
before Veterans Administrator Brad
ley. AS soon as he approves them
they said, the Attorney General will
be asked to file condemnation papers
against the property. That Is ex-
pected to be this week.
The 25-acre property is located
southwest of the intersection of Lee
boulevard and Arlington Ridge road
due west across the Potomac River
from the Lincoln Memorial.
Condemnation Delayed.
The condemnation proceedings
have been delayed for the last IL
weeks by a 1-acre strip of land
owned by Arlington County, that
cuts across the western part of the
tract.
The strip, according to A. T. Lund
berg, chief of the county's Depart
ment of Public Service, will be used
for highway to connect Lee boule-
ward directly with Key Bridge. Vet
erans' administration, favorable to-
wards the idea of easy access to the
new hospital, was undecided about
whether it would need the county
property.
After numerous conferences with
county officials, the agency has de-
cided to take only about % acres
the area east of the county owned
strip, said c. 2. Bowie, chief of the
agency's real estate section.
Nevius to Keep One Acre.
This would leave A. M. Nevius,
retired vice president of Riggs Ma
tional Bank, principal owner of
the land, narrow one-acre silver
along the west boundary Of the
tract.
Veterans administration officials
decided to file condemnation pro-
ceedings early in March, after an
offer of $851, ,436 for the land was
turned down by it's owners. Harry
R. Thomas, attorney for the owners,
said condemnation would be con-
tested, requiring jury trial to de-
eide value of the property.
Meanwhile, the Army Engineers
said temporary plans and speci-
fcations for the 750-bed hospital
have been completed and submitted
to the Veterans Administration for
The next step, the engineers said,
is to start work on operational
