PAGE FIVE I—SECTION one the CHOWAN herald. AROUND THE FARMS bSIN CHOWAN COUNTY By a W. OVERMAN. Chowan County Agant 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- Council Votes For Staggering Terms Continued from Page 1. Section 1 to Jiave the necessary legisla tion passed to affect the town election in 1963. To provide for the staggering terms the Third Ward and Fourth Ward and Councilmen will be elect ed for two years in 1963 while the' r First and Second Ward Councilmen will be elected for foifr years, after which the elec tion for the Councilmen will be on a four-year basis. The Coun cilman-at-large receiving the largest vote will serve for four years and next highest for two yegrs. For the Board of Public Works the three having the lar gest vote will serve four years and the remaining two for two years. -The Councilmen adopted a resolution which will' request Representative Albert Byrum to introduce a local bill .in the Legislature providing for an assessment policy for extension of* water and sewer lines as pre viously passed by the Council. ■Considerable time was devot c2 to the discussion 6f a com pact unit for collecting trash aid garbage as well as a crawl er tractor for use on the land fiU area on the base property recently acquired by the town. Mayor John Mitchener was authorized to perform all du • tifs in connection with the transfer of base property to the Tewn of Edenton.

'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.
