Sayings Bond Information —i
I’ye read recently, on several
occasions, some misleading in
formation about the extension
privileges on Savings Bonds.
So, if you have run into this
confusion, here are the facts:
All Series E bonds carry the
automatic extension, and only
Series E’s do have that privi
lege. Furthermore, if you have
some of the very earliest E
bonds issued, which are already
in their extension period, don’t
worry. You have been guaran
teed a second 10-year extension,
which makes them, in effect, 30-
year bonds.
All you need to remember is
—you don’t have to worry about
your bonds expiring. Even your
very earliest E bonds are guar
anteed to draw interest for at
least another ten years.
Aire You Ready For Fire? If
fire should strike your farm,
are you ready—-and is your fire
department prepared to attack
that, fire most effectively and
quickly?
The best way to fight a fire
on your farm of course is to
prevent it from ever starting.
But being fully prepared for a
fire emergency is one of the
smartest moves you can make,
and one of the most important
things you can do during Spring
Clean-up.
Make sure everyone on your
farm knows how to phone in
an alarm to the correct num
ber.
Have reliable, approved ex
tinguishers placed strategically
in all fire danger areas in
home kitchens, barns, machine
sheds, by storage tanks of gaso
lina and kerosene. Be sure they
are checked and recharged reg
ularly—and don’t wait until a
fire emergency to read the di-

'Another good fire-fighting tool
you should have available is a
garden hose. Particularly for
life safety in homes, ladders to
reach the highest roof tops and
windows should be quickly
available at all times.
To complete your “be pre
pared” status, you , should have
equipment to fight field and
brush fires pump tanks or
sprayers, fire swatters, brooms,
and burlap bags, and water to
wet them down.
Shoot For Two Bales Os Cot
ton This Year: Recently, I
mailed to each cotton grower
we have listed a copy of sug
gested practices to be used in
making high yield and high
quality cotton. I hope that each
of you growers have studied
this carefully and filed it for
future reference. If any grow
er does not have a copy, we
have more copies available.
Briefly, the suggestions are
these: Select good cotton land.
Have soil tested. Fumigate soil
with a nemagon material. Plant
treated seed of good germina
tion and good variety. Make
row widths 38 to 42 inches.
Plant an average of 6 to 10 seed
per foot of row. Leave an av
erage stand of 4 to 6 plants per
foot of row. Side-dress when
plants are 6 inches high. Start
insect control measures early
and follow recommended sched
ule. Use shallow cultivation en
tirely. Defoliate when last bolls
expected to mature are two
thirds grown. Pick as soon as
possible after leaf-fail and when
cotton is dry. Empty cotton on
sheets and let it sun, if hand
picked. Pick cotton clean as
possible, not trashy. Have
cotton ginned. Sell on grade
or put under loan.
munity.
At the recommendation of
Chief of Police George I. Dail
and Mayor John Mitchener, Leo
Lavoie was promoted from ser
geant of the Police Department
to Assistant Chief of Police.
The Councilmen went on rec
ord as opposing the proposal to
require municipalities to pay a
new state sales tax on pur
chases.
Clerk W. B. Gardner was au
thorized to advertise all 1960
delinquent taxpayers on the
second Monday in May, with
the sale to take place the sec
ond Monday in June.
Before the meeting adjourned
Mayor Mitchener informed the
Councilmen that, with the co
operation of the Coast Guard
and the Electric & Water De
partment, the signal tower at
'the foot of Broad Street had
been removed. The request to
remove this tower was made
some months ago by the Eden
ton Woman’s Club in its desire
to make the waterfront more at
tractive.
