Hopkins, boll weevil contrci specialist of the Clemson Exten sion Service. “These reports, coming front all parts of the state, show that weevils are being found in cot ton fields all over South Caro lina,” says Mr. Hopkins, warning farmers that the situation i* dangerous and calls for real fighfe against the pest. To emphasize the danger Mr. Hopkins says further: “The life history facts as we understand them show that twe weevils, or one pair, under ideal weather conditions can multiply into several million by the middle of August. Therefor^, whether the weevil population is, two par acre or 400 per acre at this sea son of the year is of small con sequence because a very few caw increase to the point where the cotton crop would he seriously damaged if conditions are favor able for them.” X !

Bowers announced tbac auto use tax stamps in the de nomination of $5.00 wer#* place* on sale in all post offices and Of fices of Collectors^ of Internal Revenue on Thursjlgr, June It, The stamps will e^J<Jen ment of the' tax’ ^Sr''*’' year beginning July 1, 1943, ac* must be purchased on or before that date. The stamps will lie serially numbered, will be gum med on the face, and ■will have provisions on the back for entry of the make, model, serial number and State license number of the vehicle. Mr. Bowers said that, to guar* against loss or theft, it has been suggested that, when affixing the stamps, the vehicle owner should dampen the windshieS* rather than the adhesive side of the stamp. This method has been recommended to keep the stamp intact upon the windshield. As an additional precaution, it also been suggested that each mo tor vehicle owner should -make a record of the serial .number wMeh appears on the use lax stamp in the event the stamp should be come lost. Every owner of a motor vehicle which is used upon the highway should call at his local post of fice or at the office of the In ternal Revenue Collector and se cure a $5.00 use tax stamp and affix it to his vehicle on or be fore July 1, 1943, the Collector said. The various post) offices will sell the stamps over the counter for cash only and ne mail order business with respect thereto will be conducted by the post offices. Collectors of Inter nal Revenue are authorized to accept cash, post office money* orders, and certified checks in payment of the use tax stampu However, as revenue stsntf>s have an intrinsic value, imceftlfta* checks will not be acceptable tm payment therefor. It is the desire of the Buresar of Internal Revenue that the me tax stamp shall be placed on the windshield in a location that wiS not be in conflict with State re quirements. Mr. Bowers stresses the fact that the use tax law h** not been repealed and cautzinxx motor vehicle owners that fail ure to purchase and display tbe new use tax stamps on vehicles using public highways after Jafy 1, 1943, will subject the violators to severe penalties imposed bj; '
