0f the?o campera. Tbe
well planned program was effectively
carried out under the direction
of Remain? Smith, camp director,
his able assistants. -Recreation

by inspirational talks, educational
classes, and lastlug friendships
were formed. The assembly periods

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

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.

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

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. .
