-- Peak Tear for Maturities'
This has been the peak vear for
maturity . of E bonds, reflecting
the record purchases i in 1944. Bv
December, an estimated total of
75.6 bulions of such bonds will have
laiien ouw Jiowever, i current indication
lions of E bonds maturing in 1954
vmi be kept and only $1 billions
turned in for cash, c, ,, - ' '
Total E bond maturities from
May, 1951, when they started com
ing due. to the end of this vear
add up, to approximately $15.6 bil
lions, uased on the trend to date,
around ' 811 billions of thpno
bonds will be held and only about
74 . billions cashed. These retained
matured bonds represent nenrlv n
third of all E bonds owned by in
dividuals. Here is further evidence
of the strength of the DeoDle's de
termination to save.
New purchases of E and FT fin v.
ings Bonds by individuals this war
will run around 85 billions, accord
ing to current indications. The to
tal exceeded 4 billions from Jan
uary through October. Purchases
this year have been runninor morp
than 10 per cent above 1953, and
make 1954 the best year for' Sav
ings Bonds since World War TT
when the patriotic factor was such
a strong- influence in th nmmlaW
ty of these issues. '
Sales Rise Aids Treasury
One of the significant hv-trnif
ucts of the strong sales showing
this year, combined with the Der
sistence with which maturing
Donds are being held, is that the
U.' S. Treasury is receiving a size-
aoie inflow of cash on balancp
The net margin of sales over re
demptions in the first 10 months
of this year amounted to S359 mil.
lions, more than double the com
parable 1953 figure and contrast
ing With a drain of a half WlliVm
dollars in 1952 when eash-ins .ex
ceeded new purchases : bv that
'amount.
The payroll purchase tiro era m
continues to be the backbone of
the ' Savings Bond drive, and
resents half of all E bonds hem t
acquired. "Kight now about 8
million workers are buying 1160
millions of E bonds a mnnfh li
pay j deduction. This is fne.hest
slWwlng11 iinc4 1946, an repre
senta a big recovery from the lnw
point of the payroll plan in 1948
when the number enrolled under
this program was onlv 4 millW
and monthly purchases were less
wan ?11H) millions. .
An important recent develnn-
ment in the E Bond program is
tne increased demand for the
large denominatlnna. thna nf Rnn

purcnases of these bonds add up
to nearly half of all E BnnHn n.

garden operations that can still be
carried out if you slipped up on
them earlier.
In the vegetable garden we may
plant asparagus crowns. Buy one
year old crowns of the Mary Wash.
ington variety at the larger seed
stores. Dig a trench about 8 inches
deep and wide enough so the fleshy
roots of the asnaraeus crown can
be well' spread out. Before setting
the crowns rake in about one mi.
Ion of an 8-8-8 garden fertilizer
per 100 feet of trench or make a
generous application of well rotted
stable manure. s Set . the crowns 18
inches apart in the trench and cov
er.; Fifty .plants should " sunnl v
enough asparagus for" the average
family. It is best not to cut anv
of the spears the first spring. As
paragus is a perennial plant and
therefore should be planted to one
side of the garden where it will
not interfere with plowinsr. It
should produce profitably for 10 to
15 years. .

eastern portion of the state, cloth

but in the Piedmont glass .sash
