We can save you battery trouble and actually pro long battery life if you will let us give your present battery the Authorized Willard "Service-Test” Salisbury Ignition & Battery Co. 122 W. Fisher Street Phone 299 ( jPlow Up Stalks And Control Boll Weevil I —— With the feeding and breeding ' places destroyed multitudes of cot ton boll weevils will either starve ’ before cold weather or die during ’ the hibernaton period. "Cotton should be picked as rapidly as possible and the stalks destroyed at once for best, results,” [ i says C. H. Brannon, extenson. en tomologist at State college. "This 1 not only starves out the adult wee ’ vil but it also destroys many of the young, immature insects.” Brannon suggests that the work be carried on as a community pro ' ject as this will keep all fields clear 1 but, if this is impossible, he urges every individual farmer to plow up the stalks as soon as picking is com pleted. The destruction on indi vidual farms will greatly benefit 1 the farmer due to the migratory habits of the weevil he says. '| Where weather conditions or [other contingencies make it im possible to plow up the stalks the ' grower should turn in cattle or ' I sheep to graze. While not as far I reaching in results as plowng under "i the grazing will destroy some of the ’ feeding ground and many of the young weevils. The earlier the destruction of [ cotton stalks the fewer weevils the following spring says' Brannon. The immature insects are thus de stroyed which will mean fewer weevils to emerge from hibernation. The squares and bolls left on the ! stalk are also destroyed and many of j the adtilt weevils will starve before j the hibernation period. Brannon therefore urges all cot i ton growers to plow up stalks as | soon as possible and save that (money that would otherwise be [spent next year for calcium arse I nate. I don’t smoke, chew, drink, own I a car or chase after frivolous com Ipany. But still I am hard up. I | wonder how my wife accounts for! it?—Howard, (Kan.) Courant. ^ “YU Intimate!” PORTLAND HOFFA VA/fiEN you hear that sing-song ' 'voice saying, “I’ll intimate”, the time is exactly Portland Holla. Yes, it’s Portland who pipes those guile less answers to Fred Allen’s ques tions every Friday night during the broadcast of Fred Allen’s Revue. And she has more than a radio right to tell ’im. Portland is Mrs. Fred Allen in private life. She met the famous comedian in a Broadway show in which both were appearing and six years of marriage haven’t dimmed their romance. They are always together — socially, profes sionallv.'and devotedly. Her greatest ambition, Portland admits, is to be come a household word to radio fans. WANTS TO HELP IDLE Washington — Jasper McLevy, first Socialist mayor of Bridgeport, Conn., is going to forget politics and concentrate on relief for the 1,800 destitute families of his own city, he said after leaving the White House where he heard President Roosevelt outline plans for putting 4,000,000 jobless to work.

Southern Maryland tobacco U. S. Type 32. U. S. Type 11 is produced in the Piedmont Belt of Virginia and part of North Carolina. U. S. Type 12 is produced in eastern North Carolina. U. S. Type 13 grows in South Carolina. U. S. Type 14 is produced mostly in southern Georgia— a few million pounds in north ern Florida and Alabama.' U. S. Type 31 includes what is called White Burley tobacco." It was first produced by George Webb in 1864. It is light in color and body, and is milder than the Burley used for pipes. U. S. Type 32, Maryland tobacco, is noted for its “burn”. In this respect Maryland excels most other tobaccos. These are the kinds of home-grown tobaccos used for making Chesterfield Cigarettes. Then Chesterfield adds aromatic Turkish tobacco to give just the right seasoning or spice. Chesterfield ages these tobaccos for 30 months — 2)4 years — to make sure that they are milder ^ and taste better.
