Th<, words of th1a. aong still echo uound Camp Long where one hundred ^ul flfty three Lancaster and gerehaw county Four-H boys and MrU spent last week. The good times JJtoyed and Ineplratlon received will long linger In the memory 0f the?o campera. Tbe well planned program was effectively carried out under the direction of Remain? Smith, camp director, his able assistants. -Recreation was featured but was well bal meed by inspirational talks, educational classes, and lastlug friendships were formed. The assembly periods ?,<! vesper services were led by the gjinpars each day. lu swimming were conduct^ ly "Hoby" HoltsendorfT and life*ving. tests were given. Thirty campers learned to swim while they were at camp, fbe- good swimmers enjoyed canoeing and others the trail around the lake. Tuesday, the traditional talent night wus held, In charge of the local leaders. Clever stunts, skits and readings were given. Much talent wA originality were shown. Song periods were observed dally and proved to be. one of the most popular parts of the program. Mrs. Romalne Smith conducted- a harmonica class and before the end- of the camp a harmonica band was formed. She also taught a class in folk dancing while others enjoyed soft ball. Wednesday night was devoted to recreation in form of a party conducted by Mr. Smith. Mrs. Harriet Johnson, state Girls' Four-H club leader taught a class In "Customs, and Manners' each morning. Table etiquette was demonstrated and camp courtesies discussed. The camp doctor, Harry Pinson, conducted classes In "Health and First Aid.' He was on duty at all jinies to serve when needed. The campers enjoyed wholesome meals planned by Miss Ruth Morgan, camp dietitian. We were glad to have had Dr. Watkins. director of extension work In the state, visit the camp on Wednesday. ' The Home Demonstration Agents, S//s?es Margaret Fewell of Kershaw, and Jennie Robinson, of Lancaster, and the farm agent, W. C. McCarley, of Kershaw, assisted in activities during the camp. The climax of the week was reached on Thursday night with the Cainp Fire program in charge of Mr. Smith and a candle lighting service, "The Spirit of Light," under the direction of Mrs. Johnson. The Spirit of Light glided across the lake in a canoe carrying a lighted torch from which light was passed to the state extension representatives, the home and* farm agents and on to the boys and girls. This symbol typifies the torch of knowledge being passed through the various extension organizations to the rural home of these two counties. ? Through ?the cooperation of the Kershaw county delegation, the Camden Rotary, Kiwanis wad Rod Fez clubs this camp was within the financial range of practically every FourH boy and girl in Kershaw County and one hundred and one availed themselves of the opportunity of _attendlng this camp. Sumiper Egg Losses i Can Be Prevented i Clem son, July 23.?The poultrytnan's greatest single Joss during the hot summer months occurs from heated ami incubated eggs, P. H. Gdbdtag. extension poultryman, declares. ^ fertile egg begins to incubate at 70 legrecs. he explains. Blood rings der?lop after a few days of high tera-( [>era:ure and render an egg unfit for 'ood ?^ i Losses from this cause can be pre- ? rcntc-,i f,y observing These practices: Remove all the males ' from the| Sock just as soon as the hatching teaaou over. Remove all broody hens from the lesu promptly.*" The body temphftt-" ure of a hen is 106 degrees and will educe the quality of an egg in a Jew l0?rs' time. ...... - f Gather the ^ggg twice IT flay In hotveather, and % place them in a cool, >00Tn. with temperatnre below 68 dey' frees for the best results. if Market eggar twice a week during he summer.

Thous?f rotten eggs are battled to mar-' kt every summer, most of them be-1 from stolen nests and-, therefore ^ncertato with nesta at hand. SANITARY PIGS PROFIT OWNERS A DOLLAR A WEEK Time i? not worth much to a hog. according to tin old saying, but a difference of a few weeks In Its market ago Is u matter of several dollars to Its owner. One of the advantages of the swine sanitation system, which prevents Infestation with internal parasites, Is that the pigs thrive better, make more rapid gains, and mature earlier than pigs allowed to ruu In old hog lots. The sanitation system, developed by Investigators of the United- States Bureau of Animal Industry In cooperation with producers in Mclean County, 111., calls for placing clean sows with their litters on pastures that, since being planted, have not "been used for pigs. Here they seldom pick up eggs of roundworms or of other internal parasites especially harmful to young pigs. The difference in the time required to reach market weight, according to reports received by the bureau, is of?o wuvii no w weeas uuu me eany pigs usually bring the better prices. As an example, some eurly spring pigs raised under sanitation were ready for market early in September before prices dropped. The top prices for 200-pound hogs at Chicago dropped from $1^90 a hundred on Spetember | 15 down to $9.00 a hundred on November 1. That was a decline of $3.50 a hundred In 6 weeks, a difference of over $6?or a dollar a week? in favor of the sanitation pigs. Another advantage of the plan is that it reduces the cost of production as much as $2.5(? on each pig.- "'Estimates by extension specialists show that savings through larger litter in on^ state, Illinois, total about 6 million dollars a year. JULY BEAUTIFICATION LETTER Dear Home Beautifier: ^ Luxuriant growth marks July in spite of hot sun and dry weather. Everything should be done to see that plant growth is not checked. Spring planted shrubs and trees face the dou-i ble task of reestablishing their root system and making top growth at the same time. We are wise if we have kept them well soaked with water, and WU1 be wiser still if we keep right on soaking them at least once each week all summer, unless a real rainy spell should occur. July is really the warmest month of the year and anything conducive to coolness is welcome, whether fruit juice beverages or visits to the old swimming pool. Aphids or plant lice are likely to appear during this month. They attack the new soft growth on the shrubs, or a wide variety of the perennial flowers, sucking out the Juice from the stems and leaf veins in a serious, if not actually fatal, degree. We do well if we keep a sharp lookout for these pests and dispatch them as promptly as they appear. The standard remedy is a thorough spraying with a good nicotine mixture, repeating the treatment ten days later to catch the second brood. Red spiders are often a serious pest this month, attacking roses and small foliage of evergreens^ They are very minute, yellowish to reddish mites, almost Invisible to the naked eye, and their presence is rarely noticed until the leaves begin to turn brown and die for no apparent reason. Dry sulphur may be blown in among the foliage or a sulphur spray may be driven with force and is more practical. Sometimes water sprayed on the plants forcefully with the hose is effective as a remedy. New shoots on .the climbing roses are putting in their appeaarnce now and need attention from the time they are a foot long, to save them from injury for one thing and to start training them in the right direction, while they are still soft and pliant rendering them readily trained. Use care in bending them though, for they are quite easily broken at this stnge. These new shoots are used to replace old wood that ?es become scraggly or overgrown and needs to be cut out at the ground level and entirely removed front the scene. " ! What a reprieve we have now, during the long, hot days of July, in enjoying excessively our lovely "Outdoor-Diving Rooms," where we so happily mix our flowers and fun. That's exactly what can be easily done, if we hare provided bur "Outdoor Uving Room." growing flowers, shrubbery and trees all around and ample room besides for chairs, tables and refreshments to be served, adding socfc a - delightful, --distlnctlve. touch to our entertafHing these days. Besides these "Outdoor Living Rooms" are such wonderful places to lounge around in, as we know there is health in sunshine and fresh air for all of us. .
