Selling Poultry
Whether she sells to private cus
tomers, at a curb market, or through
commission houses, the farm woman
who is marketing her surplus chick
ens needs to keep in mind the buy
er’s viewpoint. The customer wants
good poultry fo rher table, well
fleshed, clean picked, and attractive
in appearance. The buyer does not
wish to pay chicken prices for a full
crop of corn or gravel. From the
seller’s standpoint also it is best to
withhold feed from birds that are
going to market from 12 to 24
hours, because they will keep better
if there is no food in the crop or in
testines. Plenty of water may be
given.
The old fashioned method of killing
poultry for home consumption by
chopping off its head should not
be used when the birds are sold. The
head should always be left on, usually
wrapped neatly in parchment paper.
Market poultry should not be drawn
until it is actually sold over the coun
ter. Thorough chilling in cold or ice
water or a chill room, is desirable.
Poisoning Rats
While it is desii'able and possible
to rat-proof newly constructed build
ings to keep rats out of the house en
tirely, other means of dealing with
them must be used, once they get in,
Starvation is the first precaution,
keeping all foods in secure contain
ers and taking the greatest care that
nothing attractive to rats is left
about.
Red Squill poison baits are effec
tive against rats. Several kinds of
bait mixtures are used, because the
rats will become wary of any one
food. It is a good idea to “prebait,”
that is, use various mixtures without
poison for a night or two, and then
set up poison stations where the rats
are known to feed and live. About
a level tablespoonful of bait is used
in one spot. Bait may be spread on
small rounds of cardboard, which are
easy to gather up and detsroy; or
put into paper bags, with the tops
tied. Care should be used to keep
pets ourt of the w'ay when rat poison
is about, and not to use the baits
above the ground floor of a dwelling.
The formula given below wil not
kill cats, dogs, or poultry, but are
likely to make the mammals sick and
cause them to vomit.
Formula 1: Red squill oven-dried
powder, 1 ounce; lean hamburger
meat, 15 ounces; corn meal, 1 ounce.
Mix the dry poison with the com
meal first, then add the meat and
as much water as needed to make
a sticky, but not wet, mixture.
Formula 2: Red squill, 1 ounce;
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
MR. J. 0. GASTON
TAKEN BY DEATH
ONE OF COUNTY’S MOST PROM
INENT CITIZENS SUCCUMBS
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS. HAD
LONG PUBLIC CAREER.
e
The death of Mr. J. O. Gaston, 60
years of age, long prominent in the
public life of Butts county and a
political leader of state wide repu
tation, occurred early Sunday at the
Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta.
Stricken on May' 2 with a sudden ill
ness he was removed to the Atlanta
hospital where he underwent a
major operation. His condition had
been critical for several days and
his death did not occasion surprise
to those who understood the nature
of his illness.
The death of this prominent leader
caused sincere srrow to hundreds
of friends here and over the state.
Messages of sympathy from many
men prominent in the political and
business life of the state were reeiv
ed by members of the family.
Mr. Gasiton had a long and success
ful career and was well known in
every part of Georgia. He first
entered the political field when he
was elected a member of the board
of county commissioners in 1906.
He was again chosen in 1908 and
when the law was changed in 1910
and a one-man board created, Mr.
Gaston became the sole commissioner.
He held that office without interrup
tion until 1926, when the law crea
ting a board of three members was
passed. Following his service of
more than twenty years as a county
commissioner Mr. Gaston closed his
political career by representing the
twenty-sixth district in the state
senate.
He enjoyed the unique distinction
of having never been defeated for a
political office.
Mr. Gaston came into state wide
prominence when he successfully
managed the Clifford Walker cam
paign for governor. At one time he
held connection with the state high
way department and the Georgia
Power Company'. He enjoyed the
friendship of many men high in the
official life of the state.
As county commissioner Mr. Gas
ton did much to give Butts county
a system of modern highways and
bridges. He was one of the first
good roads advocates in the state and
never lost his enthusiasm for the
cause of improved highways. One
of his last services was to try to
push the grading of route 72 between
Jackson and Covington. It is gen
erally admitted that Mr. Gaston,
through his friendship with John Hol
der, then chairman of the highway
board, was able to secure the first
paving in Butts county, the link from
Jackson to Indian Spirngs, laid in
1928.
A Democatic stalwart, Mr. Gaston
had given life long adherence to the
party.
A man of commanding influence
at home and around the state capitol,
where he was well known, Mr. Gaston
gave liberally of his time and means
tc help his friends. Probably no man
ever lived in the county who answer
ed as many calls, and no loyal
friend ever appealed to him in vain
for help. He devoted the best years
of his life to helping his friends.
Born May 5, 1876, Mr. Gaston
was a son of Matthew Gaston Con
federate soldier, and Laura McMich
ael Gaston, among the county's first
settlers. He celebrated his sixtieth
birthday only last week. He was a
member of Cedar Rock Methodist
chuTch. Particluarly well informed
canned salmon or mackerel, 15
ounces; oatmeal, 1 ounce; and water
as needed. Mix the red squill with
the oatmeal first, then add the.fish
and water as needed.
Formula 3: Red squill, 1 ounce;
corn meal, 16 ounces. Mix thor
oughly and add sufficient water.
By changing formulas frequently
the natural suspicion of the rats is
allayed.
on all questions, Mr. Gaston was an
interesting conservationalist. He
dispensed hopitality lavishly and
kept open house for his friends.
Surviving relatives include his
wife, the former Miss Lilia Kimbel;
one brother, Mr. J. M. Gaston: a
daughter-in-law, |Mrs. Mlattie Byrd
O’Neal Gaston, and two grandchil
dren, Martha Gaston and Bernard
Gaston, Jr.
Funeral services, attended by
scores of friends from all parts of
the state, were held at eCdar Rock
church Monday afternoon at 8 1
o’clock. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. R. P. Etheridge and Rev.
R. B. Harrison.
The pallbearers were Marvin Kim
bell, Albert Kimbell, Avon Gaston,
Harold Standard, Thomas Jinks,
G. W. Owen.
Interment was in the family lot
in Cedar Rock cemetery.
FARM BRIEFS
By Ralph Fuulghum
Georgia faremrs have carried home
more than $148,000 from the 11
large fat stock shows and sales held
in the state this spring. That was
an average of slightly better than
SSO a head for the 2,948 cattle sold.
The shows and sales were held at
Savannah, Americus, Albany, Syl
vania, Blakely, Eastman, Blackshear,
Mt. Vernon, two at Baxley, and the
last one at Atlanta. The 247 head
in the Atlanta show sold for an
average of a little better than eight
cents a pound, which was high on
any market for that day and proof
of the high quality of the cattle.
County Agents report that at least
150 purebred dairy bulls replaced
grade arid scrub bulls at the head
of the dairy herds in Georgia during
the last year. Dairymen are im
proving their herds, as shown by the
fact that more Georgia cows are now
on official test and herd improve
ment registry than ever before.
STEEL MAKERS say—“ Ford buys the best
steel.” Other suppliers of materials and
parts will tell you—“ Nobody checks up as
closely on quality and price as Ford.”
This means a great deal to you as a
motorist. It is our way of safeguarding the
interests of every purchaser and it leads to
this—“ The mechanical depreciation on a
Ford is less than most cars, especially after
the first year.”
This is one sign of the extra value in the
Ford V-8. Accuracy in manufacturing is
another. (The Ford is made to unusually
close precision limits.) And there is a long
list of fine-car features that are exclusive
with Ford in the popular field.

pay $1645 for it in any other car but Ford.
