The Information About Crop
Production Loans
April 29th is the last day in 1933
applications may be tiled with the U.
S. Department of Agriculture for a
Crop Production Loan. I wish tq,
suggest that any farmer interested
in making an application for a Crop
Production Loan this year, do so at
an early date. Since it takes a few
days to get the applications approv
ed and mailed to Washington, we
wish to suggest that applicants file
applications by April 25th, if possi
ble. We are now over the rush with
applications and can fill out applica
tions for farmers any day that they
may come to my office at County
courthouse.
To save time in getting applica
tion off to the Washington office, I
suggest that where the landlord is
making application and has any ten
ants, to bring them with him to sign
waiver on application. I also sug
gest that where the tenant is making
the application to bring the landlord
with him to sign waiver.
I do not wish to advise any person
to borrow money but if a farmer will
need to buy fertilizer and pay time
or fall prices, for his own benefit, I
think it would be much better to se
cure a Crop Production Loan and en
able him to pay cash and get cash
prices for his fertilizer and other
necessary products.
The minimum amount that a loan
can be made for, for Crop Production
Loan is $25.00 and the maximum a
mount is $300.00 to one person.
The total amount tenants of one
landlord in a single county may apply
for is $2,000.00. The cost of Crop
Production Loan to applicants is
5% % per annum for the money used
and fifty cents Notary witness fee.
The total number of applications
filed in Jackson County, to date,
April 15th, are six hundred and nine
ty-five and these farmers will receive
approximately $72,260.00 for 1933
Crop Production.

The one to be shown on Monday and
Tuesday, “Smilin’ Through,” with

productions ever presented.
Joe E. Brown, in “You Said a
Mouthful,” is a riot of comedy and
fun, and is supported by an excep

“Twenty Thousand Years in Sing
Sing,” featuring Spencer Tracy, is a
strong, colorful production.

Jefferson Loses Prominent
Young Woman; Mrs. Ellis
Dye Passes
The Ruler of the Universe came
Monday morning while bright sun
shine flooded the earth and lovely
flowers bloomed everywhere to add
beauty and fragrance, and plucked
from the beautiful garden of young
women a choice flower—Mrs. Beth
Bennett Dye. This choice flower,
with petals just opening to give
forth sweet fragrance, was trans
planted by the Supreme Gardener in
to a more glorious garden, where
leaves do not fade and die, and
where blossoms do not wither and
lose their fragrance and sweetness.
Mrs. Dye was 29 years of age, and
was the youngest daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. J. C. Bennett. She was
born and reared in Jefferson, and re
ceived her education at Martin In
stitute and G. S. C. W. at Milledge
ville. She was taken ill with flu on
Saturday night, April 8; on Thurs
day pneumonia developed, with an
attack also of pleurisy, and her frail
form was not able to resist these
direful maladies. She closed her
eyes in sleep, and when she awoke
there dawned for her a “perfect
day.” She left her place in the work
of thia world, and went to live etern
ally in the Heavenly Home. Always
a lover of music, the songs of Heaven
rang through the air when she unit
ed her voice with the host around
God’s throne in the grand chorus of
triumph.
After finishing school, Mrs. Dye
taught in the schools of Greene Coun
ty and in Martin Institute. She was
faithful, efficient and conscientious
in her work in the school room, and
was greatly beloved by pupils and
parents.
In the summer of 1930, she was
united in marriage to Mr. Ellis Dye
of Greene County, and she leaves to
mourn her going away this devoted
husband and a beautiful two-year
old son. Asa wife and mother, she
exemplified all the attributes of
loyal attachment and adoration, and
while many hearts are grieved, the
greatest sysmpathy is extended the
loving husband and the precious
baby, who today “Sigh for the touch
of a vanished hand and the sound of
a voice that is still.”
The thought comes to us that one
of the severest penalties of life is
found in the loss of a wife and
mother. At every turn of the well
trodden path, the bereaved look in
vain for a familiar figure, and each
incident of their daily life whispers
that there is a vacant place which
never can be filled. The gap made in
the lives of those left behind does
not close.
After marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Dye
continued to reside in the Bennett
home, where she was the constant
companion and faithful, loving
daughter of devoted parents. She
idolized her father and mother, and
was never too tired to do shmething
for their comfort and happiness.
During the recent illness of her
father, she was his faithful nurse
and continual attendant, and gave of
her strength, energy and devotion to
make his sick room happier and more
comfortable. The memory of this
home life will continue to inspire
every life that touched its strength
and beauty.
Mrs. Dye had hosts of friends, and
as a friend she exemplified the spirit
of Christ; the rich and poor, the
high and lowly, equally shared her
generous, loving heart, and this host
of friends will more and more real
ize her going away.
She was a loyal member of the
Jefferson Baptist church, and was
the faithful pianist. She had a part
in every activity sponsored by the
church, and her co-workers, as they
continue to carry on, will miss her
constant helpfulness and readyness
to serve in any capacity where duty
demanded. But they can be comfort-
ed with the thought,
“About us whereso’er we tread,
Hover the spirits of the dead,
We can not see them as we could
In by-gone days when near they
stood
And shared the joys and griefs that
came,
But they are with us just the same.
They see us as we plod along,
And proudly smile when we are
strong,
And sigh and grieve the self-same
way
When thoughtlessly we go astray.”
Funeral services for Mrs. Dye
were held in the Jefferson Baptist
church Wednesday morning at 10.30
o’clock. The large auditorium of
Thursday, April 20, 1933.
WINTERPEAS
Austrian Winter Peas Making Good
Showing In Jackson County
Several farmers in Jackson county
succeeded in seeding a few Austrian
Winter Peas during the fall of 1932.
I am glad to state that in most cases
these winter peas are inuking a good
growth. I wish to suggest that farm
ers that have not had any experience
with Austrian Winter Peas, visit
some farm where these peas are
growing, and see same before they
are plowed under. Then again, late
in the summer, visit this same farm,
and see the crop of corn or other
crop that will be growing on same
land where peas were plowed in.
To the farmer that may have
Austrian Winter Peas growing, I
suggest that if they are about 12
inches high, or more, that he plow
them under at once. I also suggest
that he wait approximately two
weeks after the peas are plowed un
der before corn or other crop Is
planted on same land. The reason
for this is to allow several days time
for the pea vines to start decaying.
If corn is planted immediately after
peas are plowed under, as a rule, a
very poor stand of corn is secured,
and a poor crop is the result.
I wish to urge farmers to learn
more about Austrian Winter Peas
and Harry Vetch for winter growing,
soil building, and hay crops, by see
ing these crops growing, result of
crops that follow. Then this coming
fall and future, will be more inter
ested in planting these crops.
Yours for more productive soils
that render greater profits.
W. Hill Hosch,
County Agri. Agent.
the church was filled to overflowing
with the friends of this popular
young woman. The collection of
flowers sent by loving friends and
relatives was perhaps the most lavish
and gorgeous even seen in Jefferson,
and were silent tributes of the esteem
in which the deceased was held.
Beautiful music was rendered by
the choir, Mrs. J. S. Ayers singing in
a touching manner “The Christian’s
Good Night.” The choir was com
posed of the following: Col. and Mrs.
J. S. Ayers, Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Bo
land, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Isbell, Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Thompson, Mrs. V.
A. Niblack, Miss Mary Connally, Mr.
Clifton Barnett, Mr. W. H. William
son, Mr. W. L. Patrick; Miss Nixon
Mobley, pianist.
Rev. R. M. Rigdon conducted the
service, speaking in beautiful terms
of ohe whose life had budded into
young womanhood and motherhood,
with all the sweet, dainty grace and
charm of Christian character. He
was assisted in the services by Rev.
E. H. Collins of Lavonia, Rev. A. J.
Johnson of Norcross, Rev. T. D.
Johnston and Rev. E. G. Thomason
of Jefferson.
The pall bearers were: Dickson
Storey, Sam Queen, Mays Brock,
Roy Cheatham, Phil Pendergrass,
Richard Ferguson, J. W. Michael,
Marvin Smith.
Interment was in Woodbine ceme
tery, where the body lies sleeping
beneath a mound of beautiful blos
soms.
Surviving Mrs. Dye are her hus
band and baby son; her father and
mother; a brother, J. C. Bennett, Jr.,
of Fernandino, Fla., and a sister,
Miss Miriam Bennett; Also, several
uncles and aunts.
The parents of Mrs. Dye have been
close, life-long friends of the writer,
and in their deep sorrow we would
say: The sweetest flower that blooms
must some day fade, and its ex
quisite fragrance becomes nothing
more than a pleasant memory; but
the human life, adorned with all the
virtues and exemplifying in the flesh
the best and noblest; the tender
voice, the loving heart, the compas
sionate spirit—these are the flowers
that do not fade and die.
“He can not die who truly lives,
For virtue has immortal breath;
’Tis but the sowing of the grain
Which blossoms into life again,
And finds perfection in its death.”
Under blue skies and fleecy clouds,
the body of Beth Bennett Dye lies
in her final earthly home, and her
soul is in the palace of eternity, but
“The dead return. They come to
share
Our laughter and our bit of care,
They glory as they used to do
When we are splendid men and true.
In all the joy we have won,
They are proud of what we’ve done.
They suffer when we suffer woe,
All things about us here they know.
And though we never see them here,
Their spirits hover very near.”

MRS. F. C. LESTER OF DALTON
WRITES LETTER OF
APPRECIATION
The “Country Wife’s Reminiscen
ces” written by Mrs. W. H. NunnaUy
of Monroe and published in Tho
Herald have brought to Mrs. Nun
nally many expressions of approba
tion. Letters have been written her
from all over Georgia and from Ala
bama, Florida and South Carolina.
Among them was an interesting com
munication from Mrs. F. C. Lester
of Dalton, who taught music in Mar
tin Institute 70 years ago. She is
now 92 years of age.
Mrs. Lester says: Your quotation,
"You may break, you may shatter the
vase if you will but the scent of the
roses” etc, was indeed appropriate.
I knew Jefferson at a time that tried
men’s souls and found the citizens
worthy of deepest gratitude. Your
mother was lovely to the stranger
within her gates. Your Uncle, Gas
Bell, even as a school boy was the
soul of chivalry. If my physics!
strength were sufficient, I could give
you a long list of names, that I
cherish. Dr. Joe Jacobs kept in close
touch with me until his death. When
Dalton girls go to the State Univer
sity, I urge them, for my sake, to
make a pilgrimage to Jefferson. May
I tell you something of my life? I
am living with my youngest daugh
ter, Mrs. Sam Head. Another daugh
ter, Mrs. Bell, is living in San FYan
cisco. My other children with their
father is sleeping in our cemetery. I
have had many sore bereavements
but our Father has tempered the
wind and given compensations. A
broken hip made me a cripple, but
for a woman of four-score and
twelve years, I have excellent health
and daily evidences of kind friends.
My Dear, your two contributions
have been a joy to me. You wield
a magic pen, have a choice vocabu
lary, and I trust you will be inspired
to again give cheer to the host of
Journal readers.
