Columbia, June 12. — Count*
made last week of 400 live weevil*
per acre in Dorchester county,
265 per acre in Spartanburr
county, and an average • of more
than 100 per acre in the counties
heard from are reported by DaviS
R. 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.”

Collector of Internal Reven
W. P. 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;
