TOTAL MAY RUN TO 65,000 Athens, Ga.—More than 43,500 Georgia farmers had applied to the regional crop production loan office at Washington, D. C. for loans in the first four months of 1933, ac cording to figures released from the offices of the Georgia Agricultural Extension Service today. Four dis trict men of the Agricultural Ser vice are in Washington handling these applications, which are still coming in rapidly. The crop production loans were initiated as an emergency measure of the government for giving relief to storm stricken or drought stricken areas, but in the last two years the service has been extended to the en tire country as a farm relief meas ure. In 1932 Georgia farmers sent in approximately 45,000 applications. This year it is estimated by Mr. Har ry Brown of the Extension Service that the application will reach 65,- 000 since 43,671 had come in by April 1. The maximum crop producion loan to a farmer is S3OO. The average of the loans to Georgia farmers so far this year has been $92 per applica tion. The government takes a crop mortgage when it makes the loan, the crop serving as the only col lateral. The farmers on their loan appli cations present a program of bal anced crop production. “The appli cations are in better shape than ever before so far as cropping plans and acreage production are concerned, ’ Mr. Brown declares. “They indicate that Georgia farmers are developing a much better balanced system of farming.

The Associated Flour Manufacturers of Griffin, Georgia ETHERIDGE-SMITH COMPANY A complete, modern department store—one that does credit to a much larger city than Jackson—such is this writer’s opinion of the Ether idge-Smith Cos. Dept, store, located on Third street. Ever since 1882— a long period of time —it has served the people of this section faithfully and well, and today, it holds and en joys the utmost degree of confidence and goodwill; the men composing the organization respected and ad mired by everyone. Folks, why go to Macon or Grif fin or Atlanta for your needs when such a complete department store is right at hand? No matter what your wants may be, for man, woamn o>. - child—you can get them at this store at prices consistently low; in fact, much lower than you can get in larger cities where overhead ex penses have to be added to selling costs. Years of experienced buying at the nation’s leading marts en SPENCER MOTOR COMPANY “Service that Satisfies” is the significant slogan -of the Spencer Motor company, authorized Ford dealers for Butts county. And it is a slogan that Mr. L. M. Spencer, owner of the business, lives up to. Mr. Spencer is one of the coun ty’s most successful business men, and it has been through close atten tion to his work that has enabled him to make his agency here one of the outstanding agencies in the state. Born and reared in Butts county, Mr. Spencer took over the local agency three years ago, but has had lleven years previous experience un der the former Ford agent. It can be seen, therefore, that he is fully qualified by experience to carry on the business so successfully. Folks, have you seen the new Ford? Have you ridden in it? No use tor this writer to attempt to describe it’s superior qualities; it’s smooth SWEET JESSAMINE DAIRY One of the most complete, modern dairies this writer has ever seen — a dairy that reflects no little credit to this community—is the Sweet Jes samine Dairy, owned and operated by Mr. Gordon H. Thompson. Mr. Thompson was born and rear ed in Butts county. Starting 20 years ago with only one cow, he now milks approximately 20 cows, all of them pure-bred, registered Jers'es, and let this newspaperman say again, it is the healthiest, best conditioned herd of cattle we have seen in a long time, attesting to careful feeding which is necessary to produce grade A quality milk. Mr. Thompson also told us that his herd of cows was the first in Butts county to be tested for tuberculosis and is tested at regular intervals. Every precaution is taken to assure patrons of the purest milk possible, PAUL TY*LER & COMPANY Here’s a story of a man who start ed with nothing, hut by dint of per severance and square business deal ings has built up a modest little bus iness, holds the utmost degree of goodwill and confidence of everyone. We have reference to Mr. Paul Ty ler, owner of the grocery and mar ket bearing his name. Mr. Tyler came to Jackson about 13 years ago. He at once won- his way into the friendship of everyone by his congenial disposition. Opening his store, he served quality groceries at fair prices and in his market, sold only the best grades of meats. To day, his market is equipped with Frigidaire, assuring his patrons of pure meats kept right under all wea ther conditions. Every dollar spent with Mr. Tyler stays in Butts county. For years, he has been buying native cattle from dinner will be served for bene fit of school); 100 yard dash, boys; 50 yard dash, girls; 400 yard relay, boys; 200 yard relay, girls; high jump, boys; basketball throw, girls; broad jump, boys; awarding of trophies.

This popular store is part-and parcel of this community. It has al ways lent itself and it’s influence to any civic movement for the com munity good. Jackson without tfye Etheridge-Smith company would be greatly handicapped, since it brings to this county a selectivity of mer chandise not generally found in towns this size. A well-stocked furniture depart ment, a grocery department—in ad dition to dry goods, ready-to-wear, clothing, shoes, etc.—the store is> recognized headquarters for high grade merchandise, and yet, the prices are not high. Let’s show our appreciation of this modern store by spending our money there, and let’s, quit sending our money out of Butta county, to enrich some other sec tion.— (Adv.) motor and powerful engine. You must see it for yourself to appreciate it’s beauty; it’s speed and it’s low cost of upkeep. Mr. Spencer is also showing a number of re-conditioncd used cars at exceptional low prices. Expert mechanics, trained by Ford, have placed these cars in A-l condition, and they are real buys, too. His repair department is under supervision of expert Ford mechan ics; men who know how *to nepair cars right and at a minimum period of time. They are thorough in all their work. Mr. Spencer is participating in this Buy-It-In-Butts-County program because he is public-spirited and be cause he believes in the future de velopment of his county. He’s that type of man—progressive, loyal to his county.— (Adv.) and when we inspected his dairy, ws saw how spic and span the premises are kept. Mr. Thompson uses the De- Laval automatic milking machine. He makes one delivery early every morning. • Folks, here’s a man who started off in a small way and has built a-model dairy. He is proud of his dairy and has every right to be. It is called “Sweet Jessamine,” and those of you who are familiar with this delicate little flower, know it for it’s sweetness and purity. In se* lecting a name for his dairy, Mr. Thompson couldn’t have hit upon a name that carried out so well tho kind of milk he sold. If you haven’t tried Sweet Jessa mine milk, folks, do so at once. Phone 2403 and see the difference. You’ll become a regular customer, we promise you.—(Adv.) Butts county farmers. Not only cat tle, but country produce of all kinds, and this money has continued to cir culate in the county. Folks, if we would have more mon ey, we should see to it that our mon ey is spent with merchants, who live here, who pay taxes for the support of our institutions and our local gov ernment. Mr. Tyler is a loyal citizen; a man who is doing his full part in any program for the good of his county and fellowman. When you buy groceries or meats from him, you are not only getting full value for every penny spent, but you are keeping your-money at home, some of which will come back to you. Patronize Mr. Tyler, folks. He de serves your business and he is striv ing to the best of his ability to please you. His store is an asset to this community.— (Adv.)
