u,
f, another Btraight-from
lHe story taken from our claims
files. I shall use a fictitious name,
of course, because our files are
confidential.
Frank Holt had always been an
active man and at 66 he felt
that he had plenty of working
years ahead of him. His wife had
died some time before, and he
made his home with an only son
•ad his family. Yon can imagine
that his great Joy in life was play
ing th&Tole of "Gramps",to his
grandchildren.
His health began to fail and his
son finally persuaded him to see
a doctor, who told him he had a
serious heart condition and would
have to stop work at once. Mr.
Holt bcame alarmed, not because
ne was ill, but beeause he had
never saved much money, and he
faced the prospect of becoming
a burden to his son, who had his
own responsibilities. He was a
badly worried man until he visit
ed our office and learned that he
would receive retirement insur
ance payments o; $37.62 each
month for the rest of his life.
Comparing $37.62 with the
present high cost of living, you
would say that is not a lot of
money, and I would agree, but it
was enough to make a lot of dif
ference for Frank Holt. What
was worrying him, of course, was
that he wouldn't be able to con
tribute to the household funds
for his board and lodging, as he
had always done In the past. Now
he can do that and have a little
money left for himself, especially
to get a gift now and then for his
grandchildren. He needed a rest
after a lifetime of work and he's
getting it. He's feeliqg better. He
still has the children he * loves
around him. And he's very thank
ful for Federal Insurance. A small
regular income can lend dignity
to a man's life when his work
ing days are over.

LIME FOR FALL
PASTURES SHOULD
BE APPLIED NOW
. «p i <mi—
Farmers who have not already
applied lime on land to be seed
ed to pasture this fall, should
start applying In now, according
to W. W. Woodhouse, Jr., soil
fertility scientist with the North'
Carolina Experiment Station.
This is an important step for
farmers who are planning on tak
ing part in the "Green Pastures"
campaign.
Most North Carolina soils should
be limed to grow Ladino clover,
says Woodhouse. While the work
on the lime needs of Ladino has
not been under way very long in
this State, it appears that the plant
is not too hard to satisfy. It is
less exacting than alfalfa in this
respect, says the scientist.
On a soil which was very acid
('ph 4.8), says Woodhouse, one
ton of .ground limestone produced
good results during two years jrf.
testing. Abovg^fcjf^teTthe^re
per ton of limestone were
barely noticable.
Liming for Ladino clover is
necessary and profitable, but there
is no reason to believe that a high
rate of lime or frequent applica
tions are required. Ladino seeded
in 1948 responded well to a one
ton application of limestone made
in 1938. The best guide is a soil
test.
