Camp Long Closes
Busy Summer Season
Aiken, Sept. 16. — The state 4
r club camp at Camp Long, near
\iken, was closed for the season
last week when leaders in agricul
ture met in a three-day confer
ence upon the call of Director D
W. Watkins of the Clemson ex
tension service tp discuss youth
problems for the future.
From every standpoint, this has
been the most successful year for
"tamp Long, according to Romaine
Smith, camp director.
During the three months camp
ing period, 28 counties took their
4-H boys and girls for the five-
day war institutes which were
conducted this year. The total
attendance of these youngsters
was 2,974.
A total of 560 took the intensive
course in tractor care, mainte
nance, and operation, including 7
girls..
Food production and conserva
tion were taught to all.
A total of 277 learned to swim,
and most of the others improved
their water techniques under ex
pert supervision.
Additional events at Camp Long
this year were the meeting of the
State Council of Farm Women,
with 46 counties represented by
122 youngsters; and the State 4-H
Council meeting, with 28 counties
represented by 140 members.

Keep Records
To See What
Hens Are Doing
Clemson, Sept. 16. — Keeping
records on poultry flocks is a good
way of checking on what the hens
are doing, declares P. H. Gooding,
Clemson extenson poultry special
ist, reminding flock owners that
now is the time to start new rec
ords on poultry. October begins
a new fiscal year for poultrymen
keeping flock records.
Anyone wishing to keep records
on his flock may obtain a record
book without charge from county
farm or home agents.
“There is a tendency to under
estimate the importance of a
source of income which is received
in small amounts throughout the
year, as from poultry, when com
paring it with crops where the in
come is received in large, less fre
quent checks.” Mr. Gooding states.
The success of the individual
farmer depends upon his efficient
use of facts known about his bus
iness, *with a view toward making
large profits. Such facts are learn
ed by the keeping of accurate rec
ords. Well kept records enable the
poultry fanner to analyze his bus
iness and make corrections and
improvements where necessary.
Mr. Gooding suggests that flock
owners who would make a good
profit from their birds make prep
arations for keeping accurate rec
ords on their flocks for the next
fiscal year by obtaining new rec
ord books before the end of Sep
tember.

“There is no place in America
for a philosophy of scarcity. Ours
is a heritage of abundance. It is
our goal today and will continue
to be our goal when the war is
over. Out of the great resources
with which nature has endowed
our land, we have built a great
nation. Abundance is the sound
est of all national policies. It is
plain cmnmon sense to produce al .
that wb can consume and export
without injury to our soil and
natural resources and at a reason
able profit to the producers.” -
Marvin Jones, War Food Adminis
trator.

“For 1944 the farmers of the
state will carry out soil-building
practices eligible for payment far
in excess of South Carolina’s al
location of $3,000,000 for the pay
ment of such practices. This is
the first year — where farmers
of this state have carried out prac
tices in excess of the funds pro
vided . The carrying out o
these practices will show results in
increased farm production for
years in the future.” — R. W.

‘Go to School’ Drive
If

It is so easy to confuse patriotism
with complacency when we think
about teen-age workers. It’s true
that the 16-year-old boy who holds
a man-sized job and the girl who
runs a bakery instead of collecting
swing records receive our admira
tion. But they need our concern
too. An approving “My. but you are
doing a fine job” won’t help these
youngsters ten years from now,
when they’re job hunting minus ed
ucation and training. So it’s up to
us to face that fact squarely r nd do
something about it. Let v really
show these earnest young j r hold
ers how much we appreci: v their
vacation business by takirv ■ art in
the national Go To School r ' '-e or
ganized by the U. S. office < f edu
cation and the childen’s l"'*au of
the department of labor.
Don’t wait for someone < !se to
start the campaign—begin ' < urself,
in your own home and p " every
grown-up you meet interer-’* < in the
most serious problem facing Ameri
can youth today. You’ve i obably
hesitated, afraid to damp* i an ad
mirable enthusiasm for vi. k. But
if we are to hold on to the remen-
dous gains made in high ^ lool at
tendance in the past gener tion we
must get our young people back to
school this fall. Citizens who do
not know how to think, or think they
know it all, are handicapped in
making a valuable contribution to a
progressive community.
Success in their first jobs, earned
through youthful energy rather than
skill or aptitude, can so int.oxv'ate
youth that they make skeptical lis
teners to parental advice on fur
thering one’s education. It is here
that community effort is needed to
bolster home grown advice. In ad
dition to local school authorities and
War Manpower commission offi
cials, organizations of parents and
teachers, employers, business men,
labor unions, churches, youth-serv
ing agencies, and young people
themselves should be represented
on a Go To School committee. There
may be a policeman who knows
large numbers of young people,
likes them, and cares mightily what
happens to them. He should be in
vited to join. The man behind the
counter of the corner drugstore
where young people congregate
would make an excellent member.
So might the manager of a neigh
borhood movie house, a clergyman,
or a radio-station manager.
But, most important, enlist the co
operation of everyone who has
worked for a living for at least 10
years. Only by hearing the experi
ences of such persons—the search
for a job, the struggle to master a
trade, the first pride in achieve
ment, only to be followed by the
slowly awakened realization that
more training, more education
would have made him an essential
worker rather than a routine job
holder-such stories will help great
ly to convince boys and girls that
continuing their education offers
them the best chance of economic
survival in the postwar worlc r .
