FARMER’S COLUMN
By J. B. BUTLER
County Agent
Several farmers have notified me
the past day or two that they are
losing quite a few of their small
chickens. From the symptoms they
gave, I believe the chickens might
be dying from pullorium disease,
and about the only thing that can
be done is to kill all chicks that ap
pear weak or droopy, or any that
became pasted up, as such chicks
may spread the disease rapidly to
other chicks, especially if they have
become chilled or over-heated.

Houston Hawkins, just out of
Summerville, has a three-fourths
Guernsey cow that has overdone
things a little bit in production.
About three weeks ago she gave
birth to three healthy calves and
they are all still living and doing
well.

To anyone who has produced and
sold milk and butter through the
months of January, February and
March, come by the AAA office and
make application for your subsidy
payment.
We are still taking orders for
seed corn for farmers that come by
the office and make application.
We are also taking application for
lime, and any farmer that would
like to have some now or anytime
this summer and fall, come by and
give us your application. So far this

spring, the farmers have already
purchased 850 tons of lime. I think
the reason why the farmers have
requested so much lime this spring
is because Tom Warnock purchased
a lime spreader and the farmers
are able to get their lime delivered
and spread for little more than
what they once just got it delivered
for. Another thing is the payment
for soil-building practices they re
ceive through the AAA.
IN MEMORY OF SGT. HERSCHEL
GAYLER
Friends of Herschel Gaylor will
welcome this opportunity to learn
more of the details concerning his
tragic death.
We will remember; we will regret.
One does not forget a friend like
Herschel. We believe he would not
care much for eulogy, but let it be
said that many hearts have been
made heavy because of his death.
It was the night of Dec. 18, 1945,
when Heschel Gayler, soldier of 19
months, veteran of Alaska, was on
duty aboard a train cutting thru
the Louisiana darkness. Then some
thing was wrong about the train.
Herschel managed to get it stop
ped, but an accident occurred there
in the night and Herschel was dealt
a mortal blow.
His struggle for life lasted into
the next day. Then the amputation
of his arm, plus the internal in
juries he had suffered, proved too
much for even his strength. He died
in his 27th year of life.
Herschel had been gone from
Chattooga County, the place of his
birth, since soon after his gradua
tion from Lyerly High School in
1937.
Before his entrance into the
army, he was employed as brake
man on the N. C. & St. L. Railroad.
He entered the army May, 1944, at
Fort McPherson. Then followed ba
sic training and the usual story of
shitting from one part of the coun
try to another. There were Louisi
ana, Florida, California, Washing
ton, Alaska; also a stay in Canada.
Finally he was back in the Unit
ed States. After being home on fur
lough, he was sent to Camp Clai- |
bourne, La. There he stayed until
his death.
The funeral services were held ■
from Woodlawn Presbyterian
Church Dec. 26, burial was Dec. 27
in West View Cemetery, Atlanta.
Surviving him are his widow, Mrs.
Lurene Gayler, Atlanta; his mother,
Kirs. Mary Gayler, Atlanta; two
brothers, Grady Gayler, Atlanta,
and Brice Gayler, Young Harris;
two sisters, Mrs. Louise Johnson,
West Palm Beach, Fla., and Mrs.
Evelyn Broome, Chattanooga, and
several nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers were Clarence C. Mc-
Han, Dan M. Burns, Robert E.

THE FORGOTTEN MAN
One of the saddest statements in
Holy writ is said of the chief but
ler, whose dream Joseph had in
terpreted favorably and who prom
ised to remember Joseph to Phara
oh who did not remember, “but
forgot” him.
For twice seven years, “the for
gotten man,” “good neighbor poli
cy,” “freedom of and from,” have
been in speech and press and yet so
little practiced by the majority of
people that they are only words to
read in the newspaper.
We rejoice in the way that num
bers of farmers were helped to their
feet and given a chance by the
New Deal to pay their mortgages
and improve their products—but
national necessity demanded this
course and provokes what I am now
trying to say.
We have inflation already. When
the profits from processing and the
wages paid to employes are so much
in advance of the time and labor
to produce the raw material, there
is bound to be scarcity and a crash
sometime in the future. It depends
on how much means we have to buy
in time of scarcity and the advan
tage that some have in getting it.
This fact of inequality should be
apparent to all thinking people;
yet, if you mention this phase of
condition to the high wage earner
who has left the farm because he
couldn't make a living, he is indif
ferent to the man who is sweating
to give him something to eat and
wear.
It may be that Mr. Truman could
pay a man 65 cents per hour in Mis
souri or Kansas to sit on a binder
or tractor and come out of a
drought or wet spell on top, but I
venture the assertion that the best
farm in this section of the country
would, in ten years, have to have a
New Deal to pay off the mortgage
if it were worked with labor at 65
cents an hour. If a farmer had to
mortgage his farm when his family
were at home to work it, how can
he hire wage price labor when his
product is not one-third what the

labor costs, to say nothing of
droughts and rain and hail and
other drawbacks? On the other
hand, how is anybody fed and
clothed unless the land produces?
If there were more production of
necessities and less wages for frolic
ing, a dollar would buy what two
buys with inflation and conditions
would be nearer on equality and
there would be enough for all.
I still contend that prices and
profits and wages should be regu
lated from the basic source of pro
duction.
