Nevada and Arizona 39 per cent. No southern state is included among the leaders for which "eturns are quoted. The five million trucks and busses n this country present a tremendous eservo toward which the nation may urn if transportation emergencies thould arise in connection with nationtl defense.

Theaters were Jammed at all shows while hotel lobbies and restaurants enjoyed big crowds. Sunday morning, plans for a 10 o'clock band concert to be followed by a motorcade were abandoned at the last minute and the band concert was held at 12:30 p. m. The 114th Infantry band, under the direction of Warrant Officer James L. Young, offered a fine program of clarfsical, as well as popular numbers. This band conies from Camden, N. J., and is a splendid musical group. Theatres opened at 1 o'clock for the entertainment of the soldiers while a band concert was held at the No. 3 polo field prior to the polo game. Quite a number of soldiers attended the polo game, although they were obliged to leave before the conclusion of the affair in order to leave with their convoy for North*Carolina. Camden churches re|>ort an onus* ually large number of soldiers at the morning services. Camden ministers cooperated with the local defense committee by announcing the 12:80 band concert' from their pulpits at the morning sefvlc.es. It was stated by the committee that next Saturday Camden will have another 400 or more soldiers here and this group will also be accompanied by a band. It Is hoped to have a band concert In Hampton Square from 8 to 9 and then start the dance In the Armory. DestroyCottonStalks Says Guy Cardwell The cotton weevil has taken a heavy toll of the 1941 cotton crop, the heaviest In years. We thought we had this pest on the run, but weafher conditions and failure, to .recognize the Importance of early stalk destruction and neglect to bring this about last tteptember or October, Iras' gtfoir J the billions of weevils a bountiful | feast. ' Are we going to help this crop of j weevils to get through the winter of 1911-42 comfortably, or are we going to nay attention to the advice given by our leaders to destroy cotton Htalks as soon as cotton is picked (picked as early as is possible) in order to stop the feeding and breedof the weevils? It is said that tests embracing many years experience at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, South Carolnia, show that more than 25 times as many wevells live over the winter when stalks are allowed to remain in the fields until frost as when tbolr food on living stalks is destroyed early. When the plunt Is taken from tho weevil In September, practically no weevils live through the winter. When cotton is taken from the weevil in early October few weevils live through the Wiuter, but where stalks are not destroyed before frost a lot of the weevils live through the winter tos furnish "shock trdbps" for the destruction of next year's cotton crop. Plan to destroy cotton stalks at the earllegj, possible date and then plan for an abundance of small grains and winter legumes on these cotton lands for soil protection and improvement aqd for food and feed that is sure to be needed. See that you get'a good seed bed for the grains and legumes. Use liberal amounts of fertilizer and lime where necessary and pay attention to qareful seeding of the recommended grain and legume mixture#. Future Borrowers Can Now Hedge A plan whereby farmers having Federal land bank loans may protect themselves against any post-war 9lump or cropfallures by making payments into {^'future payment" fund, which will draw the same rate of internet he is being charged on his indebtedness to the bank, is announced by A. C. Bradbam, secretary-treasurer Df the Kershaw and Lanshaw National Farm L,oan Association. Under the plan a land bank borrower may now send funds to the bank to be held In a trust account for future Installments, and this account will be credited with compound Interest at the same rate which the member-borrower Is paying on his land aank loan. "The Federal laud bank and tho aational farm loan association feel ;hat this 'future payment' fund Offers i number of advantages to the bor- J rowers," said Mr. Bradham. "The sorrower who has future payment funds in the land bank has a backlog sf security upon which he can draw in ime of need to keep his obligation in ?ood standing and carry him through 1 l lean period. He is insured against lard times?at no cost to him for the nsurance. "This new plan permits a land bank >orrower to make payments for future ipplication on Federal land bank loan, lale contract or purchase money mortgage running to the land bank In any imount less than the unpaid balance >f his obligation." Mr. Bradham said that many farm>rs were now In a position to fortify J hemselves against future mortgage vorrles and In taking advantage of he future payment fund plan would ?e helping themselves and also would ie eervlng their country because while he investment is earning a gopd rate if interest this money would at the ame Jime be doing service for naional defense through reinvestment iy the land bank. / FINAL DISCHARGE Notice Is hereby given that one month from this date, on November 17, 1941, I will make to the Probate Court of Kershaw County my final return as Administrator of the estate of William J.
