HARLAN DICKSON
NAVAL AIR HERO
DIES IN AIR CRASH
Col. and Mrs. Rene Studler of
Washington, d. c., Notified
of Sons Death
Dickson, Lieutenant Commander
Decorated With Two Navy
Air Crosses

Lieut.. Commander Harlan Dickson,
90, of the Navy, son of Col. and
Mrs. Rene Studler of Washington,
d. c., a former Bluffton high school
student was killed in the crash of a
navy dive bomber near San Luis
Obispo, Calf, Saturday.
With him died Edward Hlywa, 21,
aviation radioman, first class, son of
George Hlywa, of Youngstown.
The bodies were enroute east to-
day, Dickson's for burial in the Ar
lington National Cemetery and
Hlywa's to Youngstown.
News of his death was received
here Sunday afternoon in a tele-
phone call from Col. Studler inform
ing his mother, Mrs. Emma Studler
of South Jackson street of the ia
tality. Mrs. Studler left for Wash
ington, Sunday night.
Dickson, a native of Columbus,
was a squadron commander and was
listed as one of the youngest lieu
tenant commanders in the naval air
forces.
He received two navy crosses, one
for blasting two carriers in the
Coral Sea and the second for locat-
ing the enemy carrier which sent
the planes that mortally wounded
the Yorktown in the battle of Mid
way and for directing planes to the
enemy ship which subsequently was
sunk. He also assisted in sinking
three other Japanese vessels at Mid
way.
He participated in the first raids
on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands
and on Guadalcanal and Tulagi.
When the Navy Air Crosses were
awarded to him, Lieut.. Commander
Dickson was cited by Admiral w. X
Harroll for "heroic and distinguished
service as pilot of an airplane in q
bombing squadron in dive bombing
attack against japanese forces in
Tulagi harbor on May A, 1912, ar
attack on an enemy carrier in the
Coral sea on May 8, 1912, and also
for courage in pressing dive bombing
attacks against the Japanese sinva:
sion fleet in the battle of Midway"
The war hero was a student il
Bluffton High school in 1929, anc
later was graduated in 1886 from
| the u. S. Naval Academy at An
napolis. He was frequent visitor
here in peacetime and was wei
known locally.

MORE FEED, LESS
live STOCK TO BE.
RAISED ON FARMS
Farmers Plan to Cut Pro-
ductiOn of Hogs, Cattle
and BrOilerS
Increase in Dairy Cattle, Corn,
Oats and Hay is
Anticipated

More feed crops and less livestock
during the coming season is the
overall farm picture for the Bluffton
district, according to a survey of
opinion made by the Bluffton News
this week.
Almost without exception farmers
were of the opinion that, generally
speaking, this year will see mark
ed curtailment of livestock together
with many livestock products and a
corresponding increase in grain and
feed production.
Slated for decrease are poultry,
hogs, sheep and beef cattle. An ex-
ception to the general trend in cut
ting down livestock inventories is
dairy cattle which are expected to
show moderate increase. This
reflects a price of $500 per hundred
pounds for milk, more than double
the pre-war figure.
More Corn
Despite curtailment in hog and
beef cattle production, corn acreage
will be materially increased.
Likewise the increase of oats acre
age is expected to be limited only
by the amount of seed oats available,
which are already reported as scarce.
Little of last years oats will be
suitable for seed, farmers say,
making it necessary to look to the
crop of two years ago for this pur-
pose.
Decreased acreage for soybeans is
expected following last falls bumper
crop and the resultant market glut
and shipping embargo.
Reduction of wheat acreage was
not planned last fall, but has
developed as an unforeseen circum-
stance due to absence of moisture
this winter. Hay, it is believed, will
show an increase in production m-
less curtailed due to dry conditions
this winter.
Livestock Surpluses
Surpluses generally in livestock
and livestock products with resultant
falling markets, despite wartime
conditions, have discouraged expan-
sion of operations in this field which
was the keynote of farming opera
tions a year ago.
Accelerating the trend has been
scarcity of feed which this winter
commands two to three times it's
normal price and the shortage of
farm manpower necessary for
successful livestock feeding.
Curtailment of hogs, beef cattle
and broilers is expected to be
particularly severe and already long
range observers are predicting an
acute scarcity in these commodities
by next fall.
