PITABLE swine
management methods
Jack Wooten, Extension Information
Specialist)
ob&bly one of the most effective
economical swine parasite control
bog management projects in th<
is being conducted by B. 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.
Asks a Correction
Editor Chronicle:?In last week's
issue of The Camden Chronicle the
statement was made that I am an official
of the county health unit. I am
the school nurse for the Camden city
schools and have been for three years
by the kindness of F. E. R. A. and
have not been connected with the
health unit in any way whatever. I
will appreciate very much if you will
correct this error in an early issue
of your paper.

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. Washington, torn Jeffer-,
son, John I. lewis, the suppreme coart
and prohibition, he was highly re-'
spected while expostulating, byt his
voice was weak onner count of a
case of larringitis.
. .\t we had of had a bank in flat rock
it would of closed, banks always close
with the least provocation that sounds
like a holllday. our little bank closed
of its own free will and accord, after
all reseats had benn withdrawed, in
1925 and it has newer opened up
again, that of course causes lots of
monney to remain in pockets, socks,
fruit Jars and behind grandpa's pitcher
which hangs on the wall.
[..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,

SUMMER SIMMERING8 FROM

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

Malvern Hill Club Met
The Malvern Hill Home Demoustruion
club mot Friday, Juno 25, with
Mrs. Will Denton. Mrs. Peebles had
the devotional. In the absence of the
ecretary, the president checked on
he roll and omitted the minutes. This
was the secretary's first absence and
we missed her. The#various chairmen
reported on Fair activities and
plans inpde for our July picnic.
Miss Murgaret Fewell then took
charge and wo caught up the log endH
of the year's work. Cards were handed
in and various pamphlets and instructive
leaflets given out. Miss
Powell's constructive program was an
explanation of the government circular,
"A Food .and Feed Hudgot For
Farm Families." This is a wonderful
llve-at-home plan. The hostesH
served salad, wafers, cake and iced
ea. She was assisted by her (laugher,
Mary, and we had another grand
line together.
We are soon to lose one of our
most popular members. Miss Pearl
Bradley, who is to be married soon.
We all wish for her happiness in her
I new home.
! Maxim Anakieff. accused of torturing
and executing hundreds of Bolshevists
during Russia's civil wkr of i
the early 1920's, has been arrested at
Salino and will face a military tribunal.
Reports say that he has confessed
to scores of executions when
he served under Gen. Alexis Denikine,

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. If
the outstanding notes are destroyed
by act of congress, they will be replaced
by notes without the gold guarantee
clause.
