"This accomplishment lu 4-H club

Mr. I^wls, "and one from which
adult farmers may well gather valuable
lessons und suggestions. But of
course the most significant thing is
that these thousands of farm youngsters
are learning better farming
ideas and practices and incedentally
better citizenship through 4-H club
activities."
Lugoff Club Met
The 4-H Club of Lugoff was called !
together by their president, Sadie I
Brown, by the singing of "Carolina."
The devotional was led by Sallie Lee,
who read part of the 28th chapter of'

was then read by Carolyn Llndler. Another
song was sung by a group of
girls. "T'is Spring Time." Emily Cameron

Spring." The minutes were read and
roll called by the secretary, Virginia
Ward, and each member answered the
roll with a spring flower. Miss Fewell
took change of the meeting at this j
time. She checked the Food Habit i
Score Card with the girls and talked
of food in relation to health. She
stressed tin* importance of milk, and
vegetables and fruits in the diet. She
also cheeked for the second time the

PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF LARGE FISH HATC^fR"^
Richmond, Va., March 16.-"Plana
for construction of South Carolina's
largest fish hatchery by installation
of twenty three roaring pools at Cheraw
Recreational Demonstration Area,
near Cheruw, have received approval
add preliminary work will begin at
once, according to an announcement
made by the National Park Service at
its regional headquarters here. >.
The site for storage, rearing and
forage ponds was selected after caroful
surveys indicated it to be idoul
for a hatchery because of favorable
topography and the availability of &
large supply of natural foods. Production
will include redbreast, bream,
crappio and large-mouth bass.
Engineering plans provide for an
earth dam across Dartlott Branch to j
impound a 14-acre pond which will
serve both as a rearing pool ami as
a storage reservoir to supply water]
through outlet ditches to twenty-three |
smaller busius having a total area of
approximately ten acres. A second
dam will form a four-acre forage pool
on Dine Branch where minnows will
be reared for feeding larger species.
Pish from the pools will be used in
stocking a 300-acro lake on the demonstration
area for which a dam is now
more than 70 per cent complete. There
aro seven other lakes in the surrounding
region which statu officials plan
to stock regularly. If there is any
surplus it will be planted in Lynches
river.
Construction of the hatchery will be
carried out by CCC and WPA crew
workers under Joint supervision of the
National Park Service and the South
Carolina State Game and Fish Department,
represented by Dr. J. E. Host,
of Greer, who Is Director of Fish Culture.
The state is supplying funds
for materials to be used in the work
and will maintain and operate the
hatchery upon its completion.
The Cheraw demonstration area,
which adjoins the 720-acre Cheraw
State Park, is one of forty-six similar
projects distributed throughout the j
nation to make available for recrea-1
tional use large tracts that have J
proved unsuited to efficient agriculture.
They are designed primarily to
provide facilities for group pamps
which will be used by community
character-building and health-building
organizations upon payment of ren-i
tals sufficient to cover maintenance
costs.
In addition to developments for
recreational use, standard conservation
measures are applied to the areas
to improve general land conditions
as rapidly as possible and to safeguard
against woodland fires, soil
erosion, stream pollution and other
dama^P?
Purchased with federal funds, the
lands are intended for inclusion,
when developed, among properties administered
by state government agencies.
