mended that the Academy
acquire 31a blocks in a historic

relatively undeveloped western
two thirds Of the county.
Any solution requiring legis-
lation or a constitutional
amendment need not be for
mulated until the next session
of the State Legislature in the
spring Of 1864. But a local leg
islative program for open
spaces will take time to work
out.
The plan presented today re-
lies as much as possible on
measures now permitted by Vir-
ginia law, according to Mr..
Payne. Only on assessments
does it enter an area that would
require a constitutional amend
ment.
The report includes a study
done last year especially for
Fairfax County ON existing
provisions in state law that
would permit open space reten-
ton. The study was prepared
by three seniors at the Uni
versity Of Virginia Law School.
Agrees with Year 1000
In concept. Mr.. Payne said,
the staff report agrees with
the National Capital Regional
Planning Councils Year 1000
plan. which looks toward dense
development along transporta-
ton radials. separated by
wedges Of open. relatively I'M
developed land.
The county's master plan
adopted several years ago to
direct development through
1880 is now obsolete. according
to the report. The staff urges
the adoption Of a new master
plan including open spaces.
1t says all efforts to preserve
open space should be co-or-
dinated on a regional basis.
Fairfax County should have
some review powers in coming
decisions on land near its bor-
ders with small towns or other
counties" This would co-ordi-
nate highway construction and
traffic flow. which affect near
by land uses.
The staff recommends that
the county withhold 10000
acres of land for recreational
use by the year 1000. There
are now about $4,000 acres of
existing or planned parkland.
The increase to 10000 could cost
SIS million, the report said.
To minimize the expense, the
staff suggests that the county
place an emphasis on "acquisi-
ton rather than development"
of land for the next 10 years.
/ Other Methods
1t further recommends that
the county use all legal tech
niques available which do not
require outright purchase" Of
the land.
i These include:
/. Zoning for conservation
areas, general agriculture and
forest zones and planned COM
munities. Fairfax already has

An Arlington school board
member has proposed un-
precedented salary reforms to
attract some of the best teach
ers in the country.
The changes. recommended
by Laszlo Ecker-Racz, would
enable distinguished instructors
to earn as much as $4,000
annually at the height Of their
careers.
Teachers who do not truly dis
tinguish themselves, but never
the-less demonstrate excellence
and willingness to remain in
Arlington, could attain a salary
Of $4,000 to Sill 900, which is
roughly Is per cent more than
they now can expect.
However, beginning and
transient teachers as we'll as
those who are simply not very
good. could qualify for the
premium pay.
The custom Of automatically
granting raises each year would
be virtually abandoned.
The scope of the changes far
transcends any merit" pay
plan ever advanced in Airing
ton or accepted elsewhere.
Fight Merit Pay
As Arlington teachers al
ways vigorously and effectively
have fought any form Of merit
pay. the suggested changes are
likely to encounter strong re-
sistance.
Three school board members
in past months have opposed
further across the : board
raises and implied preference
for some sort Of plan such as
Mr.. Ecker-Racz has outlined
However, agreement on all OF
his recommendations has moi
been achieved among board
members.
In the last two years. COM
munity leaders and especially
County Board members have
been demanding that annual
increases In the school budget
be accompanied by concrete as
surances that the schools viii
become better.
They also have sought a way
10 reward the superior teachers
without having TO reward tn
less deserving through costly
"across-the-board" raises.
They also have wanted Il
devise incentives TO induce out,
standing people not only u
enter teaching but TO make /
career OF II In Arlington.
Others Consulted
The salary reforms draftet
primarily by Mr.. Ecker-Rac,
represent a comprehensive ef
fort to achieve all these aims

Horizontal SilOs Have
Place On Many Farms

Farmers who plan to expand
their silage feeding program
should investigate the use of
horizontal silos. says G. D. Kite,
agricultural engineer at VPI.
Such silos are classified into
three types stack. trench.
and bunker. The type used will
depend on the situation on each
farm. Of the three types, the
stack type is least expensive.
The only expense is the cost
Of black plastic sheet to cover
the silage stack to prevent sur
face spoilage. says Kite. The
plastic costs about 20 to 25 cents
per ton of silage covered. and
is an annual cost. The stack
type silo has generally been
used for emergency purposes. or
when finances are limited. Some
farmers have had such favor
able results with this type silo
they continue to use it.
The stack is made by piling
silage on the ground at a con-
venient and well-drained site.
The height of the stack is usu-
ally four to seven feet. For the
average farm, the width may be
Is to "a feet. The plastic sheet
must be anchor securely
around the edges and over the
top to prevent the entrance OF
air.
The trench silo is made on the
side of hill. 1t may have an
earth bottom and sides for tenn
eporary use. Concrete sides and
bottom are recommended for
permanent use, says Kite. Suit

able locations for this type of
silo are limited. Tilt-up concrete
panels for the side walls make
a convenient and economical
method of construction. The cost
for concrete and reinforcing
steel will be from $3.50 to $3.50
per ton of capacity. depending
on size. For self-feeding and re-
moving silage with a tractor
scoop. the depth is usually six
to eight feet.
The bunker silo is built above
ground and can be more con-
veniently located than a trench
silo. according to the engineer.
It may be built with untreated
or treated poles and plank, or
with concrete tilt-up panels and
buttresses. A four-inch thick
concrete floor is recommended
for all permanent horizontal
silos.
Use only locust or cedar poles
of untreated wood Oak boards
covered with So pound roofing
paper will give an inexpensive
first cost silo. The useful life is
limited, however. Treated poles
and two-inch tongue and groove
plank sides will be useful for 20
to 80 years with a minimum of
maintenance. says Kite.
The tilt-up concrete silo is the
most durable. The cost of ma
terials for a concrete tilt-up or
treated wood bunker silo will be
about equal, varying from $3.50
to s. per ton Of capacity.
Plans for horizontal silos are
available from county agents.

Use Fertilizer
Carefully For
Corn Production

There's danger to your packet
book if you fertilize corn improp-
erly.
Agronomists at VPI SAYS ex-
tensive tests during the last four
years in Virginia have shown that
large amounts of fertilizer placed
in contact with corn seed can
cause serious injury to the stand
and yield of corn.
Injury has been most apparent
when the moisture supply was
low during the termination per-
iod. When there was plenty of
moisture. the placement of ferti-
lizer has had little effect on the
stand and yield of corn.
When nitrogen, potash. and
phosphorus were individually ap-
piled at high rates in contact
with the seed, nitrogen caused a
larger drop in stand and yield
then did potash. Injury from
phosphate thus far has b e n
small.
The data indicate that for top
yields. only small amounts of a
complete fertilizer should be ap-
piled in the row. Large amounts
Of fertilizer should be disked in
before planting.

Special TO The Star


NASHVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 10,
In a few days the men and
women who hold the fate OF
Teamster President James r.
Hoffa viii huddle together in
an attempt to unravel the web
of evidence that has been spun
before them for almost nine
weeks.
The Government sums up Its
case today, and the defense
tomorrow. The jury should
get the case on Friday.
In a very real sense, the
seven men and five women on
the Federal jury hearing the
union chiefs million dollar
conspiracy case are a part of
that web.
By reading hundreds of docu-
ments and hearing thousands
Of words of testimony from 40
witnesses since October %,
they have been woven into 1t
because they are only part Of
the courtroom microcosm Of
Mr.. Howwa's complex financial
world. ~
In the last Is days - since
they were ordered sequestered
by Federal Judge William e.
Miller-that microcosm has be-
come virtually their only world.
They are not permitted to
read newspapers or news maya
zines. Nor are they allowed to
tune in newScasts on radio or
television lest they form pref
udices about the case.
Family Visits Guarded
Since they have been locked
up, they have been permitted
to visit with members of their
families only in the presence
Of a bailiff.
Surely they are uneasy over
their guarded existence, away
from their families while the
rest of Nashville bustIes from
store to store to the sound of
Christmas carols.
For some. there may not be
many Christmas seasons re-
naming. This Is not q young
jury. The average age is beyond
go.
But the strain of the last
eight weeks shows little - at
least on the surface, The IL
jurors and the two remaining
alternates seem to retain their
sense Of humor.
They are still able to chuckIe
at the amusing little sidelights
that pop up in all courtroom
dramas, no matter how seri-
Gus the case.
No Time for Laughter
For the most part there is
little time for levity. The jur-
ors seem painfully aware of
their responsibility, listening
carefully to every word and
closely studying every docu-
ment In the almost steady
stream that passes through
their hands.
Once, though. q grizzled 72-
year-old farmer did fall asleep

But this was early in the trial
and he hasn't done it since.
