Farmers Notice
Garbage gathered by Bluffton’s
municipal garbage collection service
will be available for feeding hogs
after May 15. Garbage will be
hauled to the farm free of charge.
Anyone interested is requested to see
Marshal Lee Coon this week.
W. A. Howe, Mayor
Legume pasture furnishes pigs
with protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Good pasture will reduce by one
third the protein which otherwise
would have to be supplied in grain.
Hogs raised on rotation pasture are
much less likely to acquire parasites
or diseases. Alfalfa is tops for hog
pasture and red clover ranks next.
The period April 11-21 was about the
most unfavorable on record for the
work of honey bees. Bees were un
able to collect pollen for food, and
many colonies were fed to carry them
through the cold, rainy weather.
Hospital Offers
Nurses9 Training
In line with a request by the Na
tional Hospital organization the
Bluffton Community hospital is in
viting young women in the commun
ity to take the training course for
practical nursing at the hospital
here.
With the unusual war demands for
trained nurses a shortage has de
veloped for nurses for civilian needs.
The Bluffton Community hospital
gives one year of training for prac
tical nursing.
The instruction is given under the
direction of Miss Sylvia Biederman,
superintendent of the hospital, and
the physicians on the hospital staff.
The hospital now has openings for
several students. Complete main
tenance and wages are given to the
students during the training pro
gram. Application may be made to
Miss Biederman.
Small Redemption
In Savings Bonds
Redemptions in United States sav
ings bonds, Series E, F, and G, are
very small, it was announced this
week by the Treasury department.
From May 1, 1941, when the bonds
were first offered for sale through
March 31, 1943, redemptions have
been less than 3*s per cent of the
total sales.
Redemptions during March of this
year were only eighty-seven one
hundredths of one per cent of the
total amount outstanding.
Despite the fact of income tax
payments in March the bond sales
in the country were 6.4 per cent
higher than in February and more
than 65 per cent ahead of March,
1942.
These developments indicate that
the nation realizes not only the ne
cessity for buying war bonds but
also for keeping them, it was point
ed out.

Rationing Calendar
So that you may keep in mind the
numerous important war-time ra
tioning dates, the Bluffton News is
publishing this weekly reminder:
MAY 21—Last day to use
Coupon 5 in A books good for
four gallons of gasoline.
MAY 30—Last day for Stamp
23 for one pound of coffee.
MAY 31—Last day for red E.
F, G, and stamps for meat,
cheese, butter, fats and canned

Bombs for the extermination of
household insects and mosquitoes
have been perfected by U. S. Dept.
of Agriculture entomologists, but
their production now is so limited
that all available go to the armed
forces. The bombs contain an in
secticide under such pressure that it
emerges as a fine mist when a valve
is opened. One puff from the bomb
will kill, in five minutes, every
mosquito in 1,000 square feet of
room space.
Use cottage and other soft cheese
quickly, for they spoil soon. Hard,
cured cheese, well wrapped, may be
kept longer.
The Same Insurance
-but less protection
Insurance rates have not
changed—but higher wartime
material and labor costs have
proportionately decreased your
insurance protection.
Is your insurance coverage
sufficient when compared with
today’s higher replacement
costs?
Better check today—tomor
row may be too late.
