MAC KEY, Treasurer Scout News of Troop Two There was no weekly troop meeting held week before last as' most of the boys were participating in an over night camp. The camp was held at "The Rock," situated on the property of Mr. T. J. Kirkland about eighteen miles North of Camden. There were twenty scouts present. The object of the trip was to commence building operations on a permanent scout camp. A log cabin is to be the main feature of the camp. The boys were engaged in felling and trimming the logs all day Saturday, considerablework being accomplished. Camp was broken about 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening. There has been a sudden spurt of industry among the fellows with the result that there are now only four tenderfoot scouts in the troop. Scouts Douglas? Kennedy, Reuben Pitts and Bill Rhame have successfully passed the rank of second class scout. Sam McCaskill and Shannon Blackwell have passed their first class scout tests. There are several first class scouts who have won various merit badges in the past few weeks. It is I the opinion of the troop officials I that Camden will have one of the : finest scout troops in the South. JAMES D. LOUGHLIN, Senior Patrol Leader. I Death of a Young Lad.

Feb. 7.?Barley forage saves corn in feeding hogs and makes hogs put on gains at thiee cents less per pound, according to Prof L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman here, who feels that South Carolina farmers are overlooking an opportunity in not taking greater advantage of our fine climate foi winter forages in economic pork production. "'As ah example of the increased profit which can be derived from the utilization of forages", says Prof. Starkey, th^ South Carolina Experiment Station has at the present time two lots of hogs on feed. One of these is in dry lot, receiving a balanced ration, while the other is receiving a balanced ration and has access to barley pasture. The hogs | on barley are making their gains at 3 < cents less per pound than those which are in dry lot. If we mean to make the most profit from our corn growing and hog feeding operations in this State it is very essential that ! we make the best us6 of our natural surroundings. In the We.tern States, where a large number of hogs are produced, winter forages are not profitable because they winter kill or make little or no growth." * ?In Poking for some e?pli.nn?^n as to why foraged are not used more* Prof Starkey sees as a primary handicap, the lack of fencing. There are many farmers in the State who would, be willing, he think, to ?oW forage crops in the fall if they had their pastures fenced.-As diversified agriculture advance, it will be necessary that more field, be fenced " order to save this three cents per SjgJi! 5# ^ ^ ?*ny instance. the labor of havesting corn by hogfring down the crop.

M Y STERIOI S 1)ET()N AT ION Explosion Shook Houses in Large part of Sumter County. VVhut is said to have been an unusual atmospheric disturbance which took the form of a severe detonation, shook a number of houses in Sumter and vicinity shortly after one o'clock today and caused more or less anxiety and more than a little curiosity among hundreds of Sumter county people. Jx>eal residents who heard the disturbance described it as a new form of thunder, a long rumbling sound following close on the he? Is of two sharp gun-like explosions the reverberation gradually becoming inaudible as it was wafted speed11> away in .^--northeasterly direction. The detonation, which one resident said had shook his house so hard that he thought a trunk hud run into it. had run into it, somewhat resembled the atmospheric condition which usually accompanies, an earthquake shock, the rumbling sound being verysimilar to an after-quake condition. W. H. Ramsey, official weather observer for the United States Weather Bureau, at Wed go field, called The Item over the telephone at two o'clock this afternoon and reported that the disturbance had shook almost every house in the town. He said the ex I plosion, as he termed it, was plainly audible there and that it resembled somewhat the noise from a gian blast of dynamite or the explosion of an ! airplane gas tank. He could offer i no explanation for the cause of the disturbance, however, and said he was just.sa much mystified a the rpst of Wedgefield residents who had heard the strange sky noises.Sumter Item, January 21.
