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

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.
