Perhaps you would like to kaow how Camp Hilton received ite name. Twas so named in honor of Richmond Hobson Hilton, D. S. C., 0. M. H., a native of Kershaw County, where the Camp is located. Mr. Hilton wa? State Commander of the American legion until his untimely death early in August, and it "was deemed an honor to bear the name of so distinguished a #on of this State add County. The occasion of the dedica- j tion and formal christening of Camp was made a gala event. Many state and national notables uttpnded the ceremonies and a barbecue wars served following the conclusion of the official exercises. To conclude the activities of the day a dance was given in honor of the visitors that night. And something of the appearance of our Camp, of which we arc so justy proud. All the construction workbarracks, recreation hall, infirmary, mess hall, bathhouse, officers' quarters, administration building, etc.? has been completed. The landscaping only remains to be done. When one: drives threugh the impressive and beautiful arched entrance to the camp grounds, rounds the last sweeping curve and suddenly catches a glimpse of the Quadrangle?that's a treat and a sight to be remembered. The big, cream-colored flagpole with Old Glory lloating proudly at the masthead, tho symmetrically arranged walks, and the eye-catching arrangement of the barracks all combine to form a very pleasing spectacle. The C. C. C. is decidedly living up to the romantic tradition of Wildwood Manor. Not content with improving the condition of the forests hereabouts, the Company 421 is rapidly beautifying its immediate surroundings as well?is proving ornamental as well as useful^?.-?-.*" The frosty chill of the past few days has served to imbue the forestry lads with even more snap and vim in their work. It is a little harder to get out of a nice warm bed at six Ach Emma, but once up everyone must become lively, in self-defense if for no other reason. And the same frost which chills the atmosphere has painted the woods in brilliant hues, all of which tends to make the work much more pleasant for those who have eyes to see. The Company is called to all formations and duties by "a bugle, which is much more easily heard than the. old . bell. M. Y. Carroll is bugler for the , outfit, and is doing nicely in his new ? duties, thank you. Much hunting has been done b> i Ililtonites the past few weeks, and f with varying success, mostly lack of that important element. "Grannie' j Tim merman, "Little Willie" Roberts "Emma" Lewis, and "Padge" Pad! gette are the foremost nimrods of ! the Camp. These boys usually bring 1 home the bacon?or squirrel as th( case may be. So do the lads mi> pleasure with work, and have a gooc f time of it. ' Just last week the Company sue ceeded in renting a small cannon foi use at Reveille and Retreat. A1 ^ though small, the gun makes a mos L terryfying noise. u When first fire< ; at a formation, the little animal prac f ticdlly ruined all discipline for a shor time. Most of the boys thought" th< hot-water boiler had exploded, i seems, and many were the reactions ' What with a bugle and a cannon w< I feel quite military, in a mild manne: 3 of speaking. | Thanksgiving is over, nnd all th" | lads seem to have had a right roya = time during the holidays. Many ar | the t.ilcs going the rounds concern ? ing what occurred while they were a I home. Now the big event beinj 1 looker! forward to is Christmas. = Camp Hilton has established a sub = camp as an adjunct to the main has | of operations.

At the prescr No Shortage After Corn-Hog Program The Government's corn-hog .production control program which seeks U> reduce hog marketing by at least 25 per cent in 1934 will not cause a shortage of pork products in the United States, according to word received by County Agent H. l>. Green from the Ag lieu turnl Extension Service of Clemaon College. Normal needs of the American people for pork and lard and also for the probable export demand during the coming year have been taken into full account in planning the program, according to advices Iso the Extension Service from Secretary of Agricul* ture Wallace. The program is an attempt to prevent over-supplying the most profitable demand and thereby, to bring about a substantial increase in the buying power of a large block of fitrmm, especially in the middle west. "Vast changes in foreign and domestic demand since the war have left the United States with an excess of at least one hog in everj six grown in the Corn ?elt in recent years, and an excess of around 20 m llion acres of corn," says a stutemen from Dr. A. G. Black, chief of thi corn-hog section of the A. A. A. "Hog production in this country has remained high, with Federally inspected slaughter averaging around 54 million head annually. On the other hand, American exports of pork and lard have declined from about two billion pounds in 1023 to 711 million pounds in 1932, the smallest in 50 years. The resulting excess of ' pofk and lard on the domestic market has driven prices to record low level and has prevented.their rise. v "Hog production increased after the World War as more corn became available for hog feeding because of the decline in the number of horses and mules. Now nearly one half or around 42 per cent of the corn crop is fed to hogs." HORSES, MULES AND THE FARM More than 15,000,000 American horses and mules still hold their jobs on farms, and Wayne Dinsmore foresees the return of these animals to first place in the esteem of good farmers, since "men who stick to horses I ' and mules, planning their work wise1 ly;- raise just as much crop at much leas cost." Writing in "Horse," Mr. Dinsmore observed, "As a matter of fact, the ' horse and mule, as a chief source of 't power, never left the farm. Some decrease occurred, it is true, but ' much less, so far as work animals | actually in use are concerned than 1 is gepbrally supposed. \ "In 1919 we had about 17,000,000 | head of horses and mules at work . in harness or under saddle on farms; in 1932 about 15,000,000 were so emj ployed. This is a decrease of about 1,500,000 at work, due to an increase of tractors from 246,083 in 1920 to "> 920,210 in 1930, and of motor-trucks ^ from 139,169 in 1920 to 900,385 in ^ 1930."?Literary Digest. f ^ - - - - ' * time Barracks One and Three are tied for leadership in the championship race.
