For Savings Bonds "The latest extension offered on the oldest Series E Savings Bonds at a full 3 per cent an nual interest rate is a boon to the thousands of people in this coun ty who still hold bonds bought between May, 1941, and May, 1949;" W. H. Andrews, State Volunteer Savings Bond Chair man, says. He referred to. the recent an nouncement by the Treasury dealing with E bonds that be gin to reach' the end of their ex tended maturity in May of this year. This .second 10-year exten sion was promised back in 1959, but the terms and interest rate were ' not " announced at that time. Under the new ruling these bonds will return 3 per cent each year, compounded semi-annually, based on their current cash value (well over face value)., "All of these bonds bougnt be tween May, 1941, and May,' 1949, originally drew 2.9 per cent in terest," Mr. Andrews continued. "In their first extension, they have been earning from 2.90 to 3.47 per cent, if held to extend ed maturity, "Now those loyal bond owners who have kept their E bonds for the full 20 years will be re warded with a full 394 pef cent return each year on the full cur rent value of their, bonds. This should encourage them to reap the benefits of this high rate for another full 10 years."

Such acreage must be released before the deadline, which is April 5. A farmer who plans to plant at least 75 percent of his cot ton allotment this year need take no action to release any acreage in order to preserve the allot ment base for his farm. But a Pent of his 1961 al- lotment will find his cotton al- lotment will be reduced in 1962 if he fails to release the unused part of his 1961 allotment to the ASC County Committee. By releasing the unused part of the cotton allotment to the county committee, the individ ual farmer's 1961 planting his tory will be preserved and also the planting history of the coun ty and state. The released al lotment will be apportioned by the County Committee for use by other farmers. Here are the requirements which cotton farmers must meet in 1961 in order fully to pro tect their future farm .allot ments: The farmer must (1) plant at least 75 percent of the 1961 allotment, or (2) release the acreage he dots not need and plant at least 75 of the re mainder, and (3) actually plant some cotton in 1961 if the en- , tire allotment was released , in both 1959 and 1960. (Acreage in the Conservation Reserve Pro gram at the regular rate may be regarded s 'planted" under this program provision). Bellmon urges farmers who do not intend to plant all of their cotton allotment in 1961 to get In touch with, the ASC County Office to discuss how to pr t their Xuture. cctt, - ; --3 ! .
