Conservation Reserve Deadline
Extended; Rate Basis Changed
Two important changes in the
1960 Conservation Reserve of the
Soil Bank have been announced
by John F. Bradley, Administra
tive Officer of the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
State Office. The changes are as
follows:
(11 Basic annual rates will be
established by the same method
used for 1959 contracts: and
(2) Farmers win have until
October 9 (rather than Septem
ber 30) to take the first step
in applying for the 1960 pro
gram.
These changes have been
made following enactment of a
law passed shortly before the
recent adjournment of Congress
and signed by-the President Sep
tember 21. The added time will
enable farmers to study the new
rate arrangement and determine
the advisablity of coming into
the program.
The new taw, according to
Bradley, removes the legal re
quirement that the annual pay
ment rate must depend on
actual crop production during
the period 1955-59 on the land
placed in the reserve. Many,
farmers regarded such rates as
unfair because of the effect of
drought and other natural dis
asters on crop yields during one
or more of those years.
Under the new law. basic an
nual rates for 1960 will be de
termined chiefly on the basis of
the productivity and value of
the land for agricultural pur- i
poses, just as they were for:
1959. The basic rate may not
exceed 20 percent of the value
of the land offered and may
not be higher than the basic
annual rate that would have
been established for the same
farm in the 1959 program.
In every case where a farmer
has already been informed of his
basic 1960 rate and where the
change will result in a different
rate, the farmer will be notified ,
and will have an opportunity to |
submit an application for a con- |
tract on the basis of his new
rate.

change that may affect some
farmers in this county permits

where a tenant leave a farm
voluntarily and the owner finds
it necessary to take over the
operation. Originally, a farm
which was operated by a tenant
or sharecropper in 1958 or 1959
could not be placed under a
1960 contract unless a tenant
or sharecropper was designated
to share in the payment.
The purpose of the Conserva
tion Reserve Program, Bradley
explained, is to bring about the
withdrawal of cropland from
production, helping to adjust
total crop acreage more nearly
ped or grazed and must be pro
in line with needs. Land placed
in the reserve may not be crop
tected with a Conservation
Practice.
A basic per-acre rate is de
termined for each farmer who
requests it. The farmer may of
fer land and apply for a con
tract at any figure below that
basic rate. In case funds are
insufficient to permit accept
ance of all applications, prior
ity in accepting offers will be
based on the rate at which the ।
farmer offers his land.
Farmers who have not pre
viously requested a rate, deter- |
mination but now believe that|
the program will be of interest ;
to them should visit the ASC
County Office as soon as possi
ble to obtain full information, i
Bradley said.

Area Textile Executives
Attend Vienna Cotton Meet
The American Cotton Manu
facturers Institute received word
today that it has been elected
to membership in the Interna
tional Federation of Cotton and
Allied Textile Industries.
Announcement was made by
Dr. W. T. Kroese of the Nether
lands, President, at the organi
zation’s general assembly in Vi
enna, Austria.
Dr. Kroese said the election
brings to 17 the number of coun
tries represented by the Feder
ation of trade associations of
spinners and manufacturers of
cotton and allied fibers.
J. M. Cheatham, president of
Dundee Mills. Inc., Griffin, Ga.,
and first vice-president of ACMI,
acknowledged the election at
Vienna, saying, “the need for
an international forum, such as
this, becomes more intense year
after year.”
“It is obvious that we who pro
duce the textiles for this world
are in dire need for prompt, ac
curate and impartial informa
tion about developments in our
business wherever they may
occur,” he added. “AU of us are
bound to be increasingly impor
tant influences for good or ill on
one another’s future.”
Halbert M. Jones, president of
Waverly Mills, Inc., Laurinburg,
N.C., and chairman of ACMI's
Foreign Trade Committee, told
the Federation meeting that
each national textile industry
“has a real interest in the con
tinued health and prosperity of
every other national textile in
dustry.”
Improvements in Series E
And H Savings Bonds
1. New Series E Bonds with
! issue dates of June 1, 1959 and
after—earn 3 3 4% compounded
! semi-annually, if held to ma
turity (instead of former 3’/4%).
The increase from 3>4%-3 3 4'’ is
accomplished by reducing the
term of the bond to 7 years, 9
months (instead of former 8
years, 11 months).
2. New Series H Bonds with
issue dates of June 1. 1959 and
after —earn 3 3 4 ,; if held to ma
turity instead of former 3%%).
The new H bond, like its prede
' cessor, is a current-income bond,
i issued at par, redeemable at par
(on one month’s notice after six
months’ holding), and maturing
at par at the end of its ten-year
life.
As before, interim yields on
the new H bonds are approxi
mately the same as the new E’s
for equal periods of holding. In
terest checks after the first three
will be level providing 4% cur
rent income after iy 2 years of
holding.
3. All outstanding E and H
bonds purchased prior to June 1.
1959—earn at least >/2% more
than before from now to next
maturity. Present bonds earning
3 l / 4 '< or 3% for their full cur
rent maturity periods will earn
J /2% more. Those earning 2.9' ;
will earn 6/10% more. There will
be lesser improvement in yields
if redeemed earlier. The increase
will be on a graduated scale,
starting with next full interest
period beginning June 1, 1959 or
after. There is no retroactive in
crease in interest rates for pe
riods prior to June 1. 1959.
4. Extension privileges on E
bonds:

"I REMEMBER":
• BY THS OLD TIMERS
From Edwarc E. Williams,
Penns Grove, N.J.: I am 78 years
old and can remember incidents
that happened when I was four
years old more vividly than things
that have happened in later years.
I well remember when we
moved from Sewell, W. Va., the
March before my fourth birthday.
The train we arrived on ran into
Pocahontas, and we had to walk
from Bluestone Junction to Coop
ers—a distance of about two
miles. The coal company store
was in one of the houses about a
half mile up the creek, but was
soon moved to the junction near
where the present store is located.
Mr. Tickle was the store manager
and Mr. Wood was the bookkeep
er. Tom and Ed Cooper were
store clerks. Mr. Cooper was part
owner, and also manager for the
Mill Creek Coal and Coke Co.
The Nelson family lived in a
log house opposite the Cooper
house. The N. & W. Railroad
bridge that spans the village
passes over the site where the
Nelson home stood.
The house we lived in was for
merly a store owned by Mr. Prince,
who sold out to the coal company.
The building was converted into
a double dwelling. We lived in one
side and Mr. Sam Cooper the
other. The Elkhorn Tunnel was
being cut through by Mills and
Fairfax. The east end of the tun
nel was located about one and
one-half miles from Cooper’s. The
west end, a distance of three
quarters of a mile, ended at Coal
dale, W. Va.

। “It is only natural that vig
orous industries will fight in
vasion of their domestic markets
' in every proper way,” Mr. Jones
added, “and particularly when
such invasions are the result of
foreign cost advantages which
; qre denied by government action
to the domestic industry con
cerned. Proper actions in self
defense, designed to maintain
the health of a particular na
tional textile industry are there
fore inevitable.
“It is our view that a strong
economy in the United States
is one of the basic conditions
for world peace. Together with
the apparel trade, the textile in
dustry in the United States is
the largest employer of any in
dustrial group. Its vigor is vital
■ therefore to our economy and to
I stable economic conditions for
I our friends in other nations.”
More than 100 delegates from
Western Europe, the United Arab
Republic, Japan and the United
States attended the assembly. In
addition to Messrs. Cheatham
and Jones, ACMI was represent

as part of the first annual
Southeastern Symposium and
Workshop on Traffic Safety.
Another highlight of the con
ference was a talk by Dr. Oscar
W. Richards, chief biologist of
the American Optical Co., who
said that there seemed “to be no
j point in discussing whether
vision is a contributory cause of
accidents. No one drives long
with his eyes shut,”
Dr. Richards pointed out that
two-thirds of the traffic fatali
ties occur at night, yet only one
third of the driving is done
then. He made these six sug
gestions to reduce night driving
accidents:
1. Ta Ke enough time to get
used to seeing when leaving a
bright place and going into
darker regions.
2. Relax eye muscles by look
ing about as much as safe driv
ing permits. Don’t stare at one
spot.
3. Don’t look right at oncom
ing bright lights. Look at side
of the road.
4. Never wear tinted glasses at
night that have absorption over
entire field of view.
5. Keep spectacles, windshields j
and lights clean and free from
surface damage.
6. Slow down to a speed where j
the “seeing load” is not too j
great for safe driving.
