With guesses on Cherokee county's cotton production flooding into The Ledger office, conservatism somewhat reduced the general average from the first estimates filed earlier in the week. The Ledger is going to give $10 cash to the person whose guess proves nearest correct in comparison with the final govern ment report. There are no restrictions on the offer.

Anyone who desires to do so may submit a guess free of charge and without cost. The first eight guesses, pub lished in Thursday's issue of The Ledger, averaged 19,348 bales. An average of the first 34 guesses listed today is only 18,097, a drop of close to 1,250 bales. The reason an average of 34 guesses was compiled for today is because that number filled one sheet of typewriting paper so a total was made of these figures for convenience. Whether or not the decline in the average forecast is significant of deterioration of the crop is a matter for decision as one thinks.

Some people believe the crop is being seriously reduced by the dry weather, boll weevils and hoppers. Some of the guesses that had been received yesterday are published below. Others will be an nounced later. The list follows: R. J.

PORTS OF CALL FOR SITES. Chief Engineer of Airways Davidson Writes Secretary of Chamber of Commerce, Gaffney is not likely to be the site of one of the proposed radio stations which the Bureau of Lighthouses plans to establish along the Atlanta-New York airway, W. H. Alexander, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was informed in a letter received yesterday from C. Hingsburg, chief engineer of the airways division.

"The selection of sites suitable for the establishment of airways, weather broadcast and radio range stations is governed by the location of airports which are regular ports of call for air mail planes along civil airways," Mry Hingsburg wrote. "It is necessary that the above type of be located in the vicinity of such airports at suitable intervals along the airway. The present program provides for the establishment of stations near the municipal airports at Greensboro, aIi SPartanburg. S. and Atlanta, Ga.

"While the bureau appreciates your effort in endeavoring to provide a site at Gaffney, it is not believed that an airways radio station located at that point would serve the intended purpose to the auvamage.
