4u a itui uv4nj , ciiv uu^ nav iii^
been found in a load of seed
brought in by John M. Harris of
the Pleasant Valley section.
The bug was not the boll weevil,
however, as is evidenced by the
following letter from the agricultural
department to which the
bug was sent by a Fort Mill

"Insect submitted for determination
is not the boll
weevil, but belongs to the family
known as grain weevils, probably
the rice weevil, Calandra

Loans on Cotton JI
at 6 per cent j;
Last year the First National (<
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warphouse !
receipts for cotton as security, !
and by means of these loans ;
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher 1
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the? farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided bv each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
iu?nr>, secureu oy warehouse
receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotton at Six PerT'ent
Interest.
