Final "Push" In Bond
 Campaign Organized
Various Groups to Be Instructed in HOuse-tO.Etouse Checkup; ScoviI Company Leaders Meeting Tonight

James E. Moran, chairman of the Third War Loan Drive, which is now entering Its last lap, while ex- pressing satisfaction with results, to date has issued warning, however, that the public must now begin to put its greatest effort into the final stretch. Gathering togethe: the available statistics and lining up the various reports so far received, MT. Moran, states that while the To- cal overall picture is an encourag- ing one, victory is still but a struc- tural form which can only become the finished product through the utmost efforts of the individual pur- chasing will and power of the citi' zens of Waterbury, in buying bonds.
 Tn an attempt to really "blan. ket" Waterbury, by leaving no loop holes wherein possible bond pur- chasing ability may be wasted, plans have been made by the various com rnittees, to help lay down the home fronts best kind of barrage against the Axis. One of these plans is AS41VANS " UAAaV Cu6BSoSSA " uAS states central organization for the Drive; namely, 6 community can- vass, which when analysed boilS down to a house-to-house canvass and even further an individual to-individual plea.

Moran and other committee members plan to contact various sources of Drive 'manpower', such as Afr Raid war; dens, members of various commun- ity clubs, members of local societies, and in particular MT. and Mrs. John e.

Conservation
Farming News
By J. T. McLAURIN

During the middle of the crop
season, J. c. Johnson, whose farm
is located in the Silas Creek COM
munity, was busy with his crops
This, however, did not keep him
from thinking about his land
needs.
He sent in request to the New
River Soil Conservation District
to come out after the rush season
and go over his farm with him.
A soil map was obtained and a
complete conservation plan for
his Ill acres was worked out
with him by the district. The
plan called for pasture treat
ment, for establishing of peren-
NAL hays, for strip cropping, for
converting steep cultivated land
back to permanent pasture. Soil
samples were taken on each field
to be analysed.
Mr.. johnson points out that
each farmer should think about
the needs of his land and figure
out the best system to obtain the
most returns without the loss OF
valuable top soil.
