D. Boyof Boykin. . Boykin was among the first hog ers in the state to set up one ie8e projects and carry through ie letter the recommendations of Clemson College Extension Serand the United States Bureau of ial Industry. Under no consider1( he asserts, would he return to iid "pig pen" Idea of raising hogs, e Boykin hog sanitation project vided into six pastures in which ias 46 sows, 35 of which have iwed, with a total of 240 pigs. Boykin says that these farrowing have increased the average per from five to seven pigs. i e whole arrangement reminds one ' l army camp with the A-type far-1 ng houses looking very much like | e Sam's army tents. Ab a matter act, you could say that this hog | ation project is a miniature bat- J ield, for the main purpose of the i jet is to fight internal parasites j h Infest hogs and cause irrepar-1 losses to the farmers of South Una every year. | t sanitation and hog manageproject is under the direction r E. E. Lent, veterinarian of the i au of Animal Industry, United I is Department of Agriculture, and i ... DuRant. extension livestock I alist. While it is by no means' w venture in the livestock Industhere are several features of the which had not been practiced in i Carolina until this year, they the Boykin project, similar to s scattered throughout the state, antlal wire fences surround each re, which has the recommended al arrangement for feeding sows oung pigs so as to prevent lnfest with worms. At one ejul of pasture is a 30-foot strip of id land, while on the other three , is a bare strip five feet wide. J ' bare areas have been provided . Jer to keep down worm infesta-1 It has been found from experi [ that kidney worm larvae are1 ant in shady areas, along fences ' lsewhere in hog pastures where are moisture and shade. Experts also established the fact that in larvae exposed experimentally j y Boil perish quickly from the I effects of drying, heat, exposure to sunlight, and possibly other natural causes. On the 30-foot bare area at one end of each pasture are found the pens for feeding the sows, the creep for the pigs, a water-barrel, and the farrowing houses. The gates to the feed pen are open each morning and afternoon for the sows to enter and are closed so that the pigs cannot get to their mothers. Mr. Boykin leaves the sows in the pen two hours each morning and two hours each afternoon. There is no question but that Mr. Boykin is hewing to the line of recommendations made by the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Extension Service. His is a practical swine parasite control and hogs management demonstration. To him thiB swine sanitation project is a business, in which he uses common sense in following the plans as set forth by the specialists. Both Dr. Lent and Mr. DuKant attesf^tb the fact that this Kershaw county 'farmer is living up to his reputation in this internal parasite control and hog management project. Mr. Boy kin has provided each pasture with simple hog waterers which consist of air-tight barrels placed in square troughs with planks nailed to the troughs and spaced in such a way, that the hogs cannot splash the water out on the ground and cause damp places?a regular "heaven" for worm parasites. These barrels are set on poles which have been placed on the ground in order to keep the hogs from rooting ifa damp places?should water be splashed from the barrels?thereby establishing a habitat for the eggs and larvae of tne internal parasites. Mr. Boykin uses flsh meal, in addition to his grain ration, for his bowb from the time of breeding until they farrow. He says he has found from experience that this makes strong, healthy pigs. Each September he plants vetch in his pastures and this is used as winter grazing until June.

FLAT ROCK OBSERVES THE FOURTH ON THE FIFTH . the fourth of July was hell on the Ofth iu flat rock ouuer count of the former fulling on sunduy and the lab ter tailing on monduy. all 3 of our grocery stoars and the beef market and the all-nlt caff shut up shop and went into the cellar-bration with much gusto and vlcaccity. ..the drug stoar remained open, but observed roggular aunday hours, soft drlnka and Ice-creum was sold on the outside of the door while he waa closed, some iire-crackera and shooting irons were ilred off. it raiily looked like chrlHtmus in our midst. ..a few patriotic speeches were made in'the park to an audience of about 10 patriots, including wimmen and children. yore eorry spondent, hon. mike Lurk, rfd, delivered a fine address on geo.

[..with the exception of 2 car and i truck wrecks, 6 drunks, and 4 dog fights, the cellar-bration of the fourth on the fifth passed off verry quietly, a former governor of our state was to have benn invited to speak on thlB occasion, but noboddy in town could think of where to rite him, therefoar, he was not on hands for the reception which was planned and called off. ..everboddy should respect the fourth of July, that was when the u. s. took charge of our great country, and they hell it successfully till 1932 when It was turned over to the dimmercrats, who, later on, turned it over to John I. lewis and other laborites. there ain't no telling what changes he will make in the declaration of independence and the conBtertution when he gets holt to whatever it is he is after. but it is still hoped that our pressent government will wake up and ask for peace befoar it is too late, yores trulle, mike Lark, rfd, corry spondent.

I coflGfttx/mfln j p RICHflWQ J*H I Farm Tenancy 1)111?Monday and Tuesday were entirely tuken up In the house by the consideration of 1)111 H. It. 7"?G2, brought In by the chairman of the committee .on agriculture, which passed the Iiouho late Tuesday evening The bill provides $10,000,000 for the fiscal years 1938; $2f),000,000 for the fiscal years 1939; and $50.000,00O for the fiscal years 1940 for long term loans to worthy tenant furmers, who desire to purchase and live on smull farms. If this bill Is finally enacted Into law It will be the be ginning of a system that has been tried in every other outstanding country of the world, with more or less success, especially in Denmark. Within the agricultural population of the country are large numbers of individuals whose Inability by their own efforts to provide adequately for the welfare of themselves and their families presents a grave social and economic problem of national Importance. hJveu in times of good agricultural prices, some of these people who are .unable to obtain the luu'ewHury funds and encouragement to conduct farming operations on u profitable basis. During periods of depression in agricultural prices, and when drought, crop failures, and floods occur, the members of such people increase, n is believed that if sound means are provided under which such unfortunate people may be able to secure land, or secure enough credit to make a crop, a lurge measure of the poverty, social unrest, and economic Insecurity of that part of our population may be eliminated. This bill proposes to do something for these people. It proposes methods to check the tendance of landholders to become tenants, tenants to become laborers and laborers to become dependent upon the government for support. It proposes, too, to start each of these groups up the ladder into the next level and finally into a status of unencumbered landowners, it seeks to reduce the number of persons moving from farm to farm each year, to make landowners of those who are capuble of ts responsibilities and to give credit to those who are in need of a litwhnT^th t0 Udu them over or to Havo thi n, "0W have" The bm attacks presented on three major [touts Hm, it authorizes loans to fwrn^anH^ enable the acquisition of an<l farm homes; second, It authorities liberal rehabilitation loans to finance the carrying on of farming operations and to refinance indebtedduce8thcand th,rd* lt pr?I)08e? to rewhirh h amount of sabmarglnal land cat^ltv taT ?f ?? low Productive y* Incapable of supporting whl?h ??n.Ka rea8?nable level and which contributes so materially to the depression of all farm prices tenam'TnT the condltlon of the farm u v 1 e 8ectl?n8 of the countiy does not fall far short of that *Th M?em by Fdward Markham rhe Man With the Hoe:" rKnam' 0,6 We'Bht ?< cen,urle8 "ground!" h?e "nd Kazea 011 ?>e And ennPli!fe8K ?f aKe8 ln h'? face, wortd, e burden .the WSe.p ?r? blm dead 10 ra'tu"> and 1 er'hopea?1 BrteV6S DOt and that StoVbim0t 'he WlHiel of.lalK)r.

The treasury department at Washington wants to destroy $4,342,415,000 of gold clause Federal Reserve notes, because under the 1934 reserve act, the clause on the notes guaranteeing "gold on demand at the United States treasury," doesn't mean anything.
