(5. Nettles, extension entomologist-pathologist. If so, that county may be the first in tiio t'iiittxl States to eradicate oat smut. That oat smut eradication 1h biologIt-ally possible la borne out by the Humorous detttonatrations over South Carolina. Control may bo by means of seed treatment or by the use of resistant varieties. , Organic mercury dusts, of which New Improved Ceroaan is the one most widely used, have now largely replaced formaldehyde for treat Ing smut-susceptible oats. These mercury dusts should be used according to the directions of the manufacturer aa stated on the container. Directions for the use of formaldehyde will bo found on Extension Information Card 4'). Seed Treatment of Wheat, Oats, and Barley for Smut, which may be had from county farm agents or from the Publications Department at Clerrdon. Since smut-resistant oate were placed on the market several years ago demonstrations conducted over the Htate havo convinced leading farmers that those oats are actually smutresistant, tlio extension specialist states.

'Population of Nation Fixed At 131,409,881 The United State* which hue Just ha?l It* decennial measurements taken. la ahowlug striking signs of maturity. The new marks on the wall, dated April 1. HMO, show It la atlll igxpunditiK in population, hut 1? definite slowing down ita rate of gmwth and thus producing changed social and economic problems tur those concerned with ita welfare. The preliminary 1?40 census figure*, Just released, show 131,409,881 people In Who United States. This figure represents an increase of 8,034,835 since 1930, a change of only 7 per cent la decade compared with 10.1 per cent between 1920 and 1930. The slackening In the population growth, the Census Bureau attributes to a declining birch mte and virtual cessation of Immigration from fortign countries. Unless there is a rise in the birth rate or the bars are again let down to Immigrants from abroad, government statisticians now expect the United States to reach the point of static population somo time between 1970 and 1980. The population will then be about 150,000,000. The 1940 count shows a general drift of population toward the South, and West. The Northern States which had nearly 60 per cent of the 1930 population, show only about onethird of'the Increase between 1930 and 1940. The Southern States, which had less than 31 per cent of the 1930 population, show nearly 44 per cent of tihe increase, and the Westdrn States, wihich had less than 10 per cent of the 1930 population, show more than 22 per cent of the Increase. Six States?'Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma. South Dakota, and Vermont?actually lost population during the decade in the first five States, the egress Is attributed to drought and Its consequent "dust bowl." Census officials said they could account for Vermont's loss only by the fact that "farming Is not too properous In New England and Vermont does not seem to have yet secured the share of the tourist trade that Maine and Massachusetts have." On the basis of percentages, Florida gained the most?27.9 per cent; South Dakota lost the most, 7.5 and the District of Columbia, In which the number of Federal employees had doubled in 10 years, exceeded the 48 states with a gain of 36.2 per cent. In actual numbers, California gained the most, 1,196,437. and Kansas lost the most 81,862. New York continued to be the most populous State with 13,379,622 residents. and Nevada trailed all with 110.014. Fastest growing large city In any; state was Miami Beach. Florida. States that have grown more rapidly In the 1930-1940 decade than from 192n to 1930 are: Montana. Delaware. Georgia. Idaho. Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota. Nevada. New Hampshire. New Mt-xi't). South Carolina. Virginia, and tlie District of Columbia. "To some extent", comments William Initio Austin. Director of the Census. ""the relatively more rapid rate of increase in the southern States is the result of their higher birth rate, coupled with the fact that, under present employment conditions, a much larger fraction of their population increase lias probably remained within these states than in recent previous decades. "The Increase on the Pacific Coast", he adds, probably represents the continued settlement and development of new territory, since the States represent the last of tho well-watered lands to be occupied in continental United States. An especially rapid growth in California, is presumably attributable also to the tendency of certain classes of the population to migrate toward areas of a warmer climate, this same tendency probably explaining also tho rapid growth in Florida." It will be some time next winter before census statisticians, with their complicated mathematical formulae can determine Just where the center of population of the United States wa? located in April 1940. More immediate is the problem of determining i-ongressional reapportlonmet to keep pace with the population trends. Bureau experts predict there will be some shifts, after the final census figures are ready in November but refuse to say now which States will gain or lose congressmen. Vermont, one <?f the states losing population. cannot lose a congressman, because it has only one now The ti'w r--.ipjK>r'ionm?-nt will affect the fall elections of 1912 MEETING UF STOCKHOLDERS Annual meeting of the Stockholders of The Wateree Building & Loan Association will be held Monday, October 21. 194o. at 4 o'clock p. m. at the office of tho First National Bank, I Camden, S C.

Oct. 2?A comprehensive program for the development of 141 airports in North Carolina and South Carolina lias been outlined to the house appropriations committee by the civil aeronautics administration. The Carolina projects, estimated to cost $19,136,489, are Included in a nationwide survey the CAA has worked out for development of 3,841 airports at u total cost of $521,337,736. v A pending bill would appropriate $30,000,000 and authorize $50,000,000 in udditonal contractual obligations to start work on approximately 200 of the projects to be selected by the war and navy departments as most necessury at this time. Whether the other projects will be started depends on future congressional action. War department officials emphasized that the inclusion of a city on the list does not mean that there i's prospect of action any time soon under the program, and added that the government may never get around to the development of many of the ports.
