Hogs Help Lift
Slough of Debt
Clemson College, Nov.- 80.?Witfi
hundreds of feeding demonstrations
over South Carolina showing a satisfactory^
profit on hogs, one begins
to wonder why the hog population
does not increase more rapidly, says
Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of animal
husbandry here, who thinks that no
fair-minded person can study carefully
experiment station data and
the data from records on hog feeding
in different counties of the state
and come out with any other idea
except that hogs will pay. ' j
Prof. Starkey thinks that the
fenoing problem in.. hog production
has been exaggerated as to initial
casji outlay, for records show that
one acre of soybean pasture will
graze 10 to 20 hogs ffom June 15
until corn is ready to hog down
that it therefore takes a relatively
small amount of fencing for grazing
hogs. Yet, he adds, over 75 per
cent of the hogs produced in the
state do not have access to satisfactory
forage crops,,
When we take into consideration]
the fact that hogs have done so well
under adverse conditions we- are
bound to conclude that, they will return
a splendid profit when condi-j
tions such as forage crops and fences
and the control of internal parasites
are in their favor.
Regarding the small hog population
of the state Prof. Starkey reminds
us first of all that census
figures now and ten years ago are
not comparable' because they were
taken at different times of the year
and because hogs are much shorter-*
lived than they were ten years agp
when they were kept until at least
"a year old and sometimes much
older whereas now hogs intended for
pork are put on the market at about"
eight months of age.

Christmas Savings
Checks To Be Mailed
The Bank of Camden will on Saturday,
December S, begin mailing
Christmas Savings Che<?s to hundreds
of customers who joined their
Christmas Savings Clubs last year.
The amounts vary in sizd but the
total will make a considerable amount
of money to be turned loose by early
Christmas shoppers.
The bank foupji this a popular department
and many adopted this
method of saving their money. They
begin immediately with the formation
of new clubs for the coming
y**r. A.,. ,
PoultfyHSlfipments
Arrangements are being made to
ship poultry from Kershaw and Bethune
before Christmas, if possible.
Due to the low purchasing power of
the people in the consuming centers
the prices are rather low. Hpwever,
we are receiving a number of requests
to operate a car but we do
not know whether there is^ sufficient
poultry to be shipped to justify the
expense of operating the oars.
Therefore, it is requested that every,
one who has any ?ort of poultry,
turkeys, etc., for sale kindly n?t|y
the county agent statin* the number
and kind to be sold and which is the
nearest shipping point.

4-H Boys Buy 40
Pigs In One Day
Club boys of JCershaw county
are not letting up on their campaign
I to stock the county with sufficient
hogs to feed the people.
| Last Saturday 52 pigs were placed
over the bounty. Forty of these
I were produced and sold by Victor
I Ward, Jr., of Lugoff. Tnere are
: hundreds of hogs and pigs now be|
ing~ grown by Kershaw county 4-H
i Club boys.
Practically all of these boys who
are raising hogs are also producing
eOrn. Protein for these hogs and
.pigs is being supplied largely
(through .,fish meal or meat scraps
which is mixed with cotton seed meal,
half and half.
At the rate the 4-H boys are developing
thq local hog industry it
is expected that Kershaw county will
become a major hog exporting county
of the state within the next two
years. . ,
Most of the hogs being raised by
4-H club boys are pure bred, the
chief breeds being Hampshire *md
Poland China.
Bayers are offering as high as one
cent per pound .above market price
for hogs raised according to the
county agent's directions. This is
due to.the quality and the high dressing
out percentages. The Hampshires
especially dress out a high
percentage. ^ ~
Some of the best Hampshire and
Poland-China breeding stock in the
state may now be gotten in Kershaw
county from 4-H club boys.
Three bachelor brothers of Guern-,
sey. county, Ohio, feared to trust their
life savings with, banks and on Saturday
morning five bandits entered
the Jiome of the three men and forced
them to give up their savings,
totaling $16,000. _"

-Why Christmas Seals?
[--What- -de you got when you buy
Christmas seals ?
Most obviously, of course, you receive
the Jittle pieces of paper which
I you stick on letters and packages
j during the holiday season, both as an
expression of good-will toward humanity
and as an example to induce
i others to buy them.
But these is something eldfc you
I get which is shared by all?and that
is impnrr/hjk community health, which,
f to get to the point, means you
j have a greater chance to live a longjer
life.
Seals are sold to fight tuberculosis.
This disease is still the arch-enemy
of man, killing more people between
the agfe of 16 and 46 than any other
ailment, afc'-h year eeea a falling

4k every reason to expect tbis record
