Sgt. ARVID F. MILLER, former Decatur county farm bureau agent for several years, remains in Louisiana on maneuvers. Sgt. MILLER writes, “they have really dished it out plenty to us but the weather has been most favorable so the going hasn’t been too rough Livestock has free range here, farmers fence in what little crop they have. Hogs are a nuisance. We have to chase them out of our kitchen truck area. They root open garbage pits and give us all kinds of grief. I lost a box of candy bars one night and swore I would have myself some pork chops when next pig came along. Sure enjoy reading “Yank” column.”

Sgt. MILLER is in the medical battalion of the division. He is classified as a surgical technician sergeant, third grade.
