JEFFERSON. GA., JUNE 1, 1833
ROOSEVELT’S PUBLIC WORK .
BILL
President Roosevelt’s $3,300,000,-
1)00 public works plan if enacted by
congress would bring millions of dol
lars into Georgia.
First the state would get approxi
mately $10,176,000 for highway
work alone, and the money would nol
have to be matched dollar for dollar,
as in the past, a check-up of the pro
posed measure shows.
Part of the fund may also be al
lotted for construction of city street)
and part of the continuous road ays
tern of the state.
Numerous Georgia projects are
now under discussion and would fit
nicely into the President’s plan to put
men to work. The proposed SIOO,-
000,000 cross state canal from the
Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico, im
provement of the Savannah river be
tween Savannah and Augusta ant?
many others are being discuused.
The back to the farm movement in
Georgia might also receive impetus
under the bill, as provision is math
for construction under public regu
lation or control of low cost housing
and slum clearance projects. Spon
sors of the measure indicate this sec
tion may be applied to the back to
the farm plan.
It was also said that money may
be made available for grade crossing
elimination, construction of routes to
avoid congested areas, and provision
for safer traffic facilities.
SOME REASONS WHY FARMERS
HAVE TO BORROW
We have no statistics on the Jack
son county farmers whq made appli
cation for government loans, but we
presume their condition is on an aver
age of other sections. In Morgan
county, Jackson’s near neighbor,
seven hundred and eighteen personr
made applications for loan.
Fifty-eight of these applicant;
have no cows to furnish milk am
butter for family needs. Fifty-twi
have no hogs to furnish meat for thi
farm. Thirty-three have no poultry
to furnish eggs. Two hundred anr
ninety-two have only one cow. One
hundred and ninety-seven have only
one hog to furnish meat, and sixty
two have less than ten chickens on
the farm. Of the seven hundred and
• eighteen applicants that applied for
government seed loan, only one hun
dred and thirty-seven have enough
feed, meat and poultry to carry on
the farm. Four hundred and fifty
one have asked for help in purchas
ing feed for their live stock. These
four hundred and fifty-one applicants
have asked the government to assist
them in the sum of $7,2139.75. And
yet Morgan county is classed as one
of the counties of North Georgia
that has suitable land to grown corn
to supply the entire county.
Prof. Lewis M. Terman, of Stan
ford University, has'made an exten
sive test of moral trtttts, such as per
sistence, trust-worthiness, sportsman
ship, generosity and co-operative
ness to several hundred exceptionally
brilliant boys and girls and an equal
number of average boys and girls
from about seven to about fifteen
years of age. The girls were better
on all these traits from the lower to
the upper ages, but, strange to say,
the boys showed a distinct drop be
tween about twelve and about .thir
teen. Professor Terman concludes
that about this time boys are usually
having a hard time to adjust them
selves to life. They need, just then
especially, the compainionship of
strong, wholesome men, plenty of
outdoor life and careful parental un
derstanding or the drop may not be
regained.
Twenty-six persons, the heaviest
toll in several years, died in week-end
accidents reported in the south. Mo
toring accidents led the list with 16
deaths. Drownings were second with
seven; one was shot, a train killed
another and one person was electro
cuted. Six of the deaths occurred in
South Carolina, six in Tennessee,
three each in Florida, North Caro
lina and Mississippi; two each in
Georgia and Kentucky, and one in
Alabama. The Georgians who lost
their lives were Lawrence Webb,
drowned when a boat overturned in a
lake at Quitman; and A. W. Long,
"killed in a motorcycle-automobile
collision in Atlanta,
STATISTICS ON R. F. C. WORK
Some facts that have been furnish
ed us by those in charge of the Re
lief Finance Corporation work here
will be read with much interest by
The Herald’s readers. At the close
of the week's work on April 8, 135
men were on the pay roll. This num
oer increased gradually each week
until May 6, when there were 498.
After this the number decreased, and
the week ending May 2J showed only
260 men receiving pay. The con
clusion is that tho#e dropping • Out
were employed on the farms making
crops, and the 260 left with the R.

ployed dependent on government
work for a living. The weekly sta

APPEAL OF HOME-TOWN PAPER
He is getting on toward 80, and
he’s wobbly in the knees, and he’s
under lost his hearing and the stair
way makes him wheeze, but he drops
in every Friday and he puts his old
cane down while he hunts the weekly
paper from his little old home town.
Then he sits down in the corner and
we hear him read aloud as the colonel
used to do it for the corner drug
store crowd; and some times we hear
him say: “Well, I see Aunt Mary
lenkins and Bob Jones have passed
away." He will scan that home town
weekly from the first page to the
last, from the write-up of the social
to the editor’s red hot blast. He
wilt read about a wedding and he’ll
comment on the bride: “Lord, I used
to court her grandma on a Sunday
buggy ride.” He hasn’t seen the old
town since way back in ’95, but the
little county weekly keeps his memo
ries alive, and he knows what Bill
; s doing and he mourns the loss of
'im—for the town that he was raised
in will always be home to him.—Dud

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
CO. AGENT COLUMN
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
Pre-Squara 801 l Weavil Poison
Just to remind you and all other
farmers of Jackson county that the
time to apply “pre-square boll wee
vil poison” to cotton is now here.
All of the older cotton in Jackson
county should have an application of
calcium arsenate poison, either dust
or 'liquid- mixture, ‘ applied to each
plant in the field and on the enire
farm this week May 29th, a second
application week of June sth, and the
third application week of June 12th.
Insure your cotton crop by pre
square boll weevil poison. Kill the
old weevils that have and will emerge
from hibernation quarters before
they have an opportunity to lay an
egg in a cotton square. If no eggs
are laid in cotton squares there will
not be any young holl weevils hatch
ed. The young boll weevils are the
ones that destroy your cotton crop
each year.
Insure your cotton crop before
cctton squares are punctured. Com
pare with fire insurance. You have to
insure house against fire damage be
fore it catches on fire. Too late to
get insurance after house is on fire.
Get the 801 l Weevils before they
Get Your Cotton Crop.
Additional Fertilizer For Cotton And
Corn
If you expect to use an additional
application of quick available nitro
gen fertilizer, also other fertilizers to
cotton, I suggest that' same be ap
plied at once on oldest cotton. Best
time to apply is when cotton is work
ed out first or second time, or 4 to
6 leaves on plants.
Corn: Best time to apply addi
tional fertilizer, if only one applica
tion, is when corn plants arc about
eighteen inches to two feet high. If
vary from this, put same on sooner,
rather than too late.
W. Hill Hosch, Cos. Agr. Agent.
Miss Alice V. Hagen, of the Census
Bureau, has just announced the re
sults of intensive study of whether
or not the number of marriages and
number of children born go up or
down with the prices of corn and
other commodities. She shows that
prices, marriages and babies are a
triple team that always travel to
gether. The number of babies for
the country, as a whole, always fol
lows the flags of prices and prosperi
ty. Dr. J. V. director of
the division of vital statistics oi New
York state, shows that there were
5,000 fewer marriages and 8,000
fewer babies in that state alone in
1932 than in 1931. Millions of lov
ers are eagerly awaiting the return
of prosperity.
Twelve girls and five boys received
diplomas from Tallulah Falls Indus
trial School Friday evening at the
sixth annual commencement exer
cises. Among the graduates are
Misses Mildred Eberhart and Louise
Jones of Maysville. Miss Eberhart
was historian of the class, and was
also awarded a certificate in weav
ing'. Miss Jones was given a certi
ficate in basketry and hooked rugs,
these certificates entitling the holder
to teach handcrafts.
Leonard Massey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. R. N. Massey of Nicholson, has
been elected assistant business man
ager of the Georgia Agricultural En
gineer, the annual publication of the
Georgia Student Chapter of the
American Chapter of Agricultural
Engineers, at the University of
Georgia. Leonard’s friends are ex
tending happy congratulations for
winning this honor.
The Banner-Herald editor says:
“Thousands of families living in the
towns and cities hfeeded the call—
‘back to the farm’ and today they
ore prosperous and independent.”
We wish he would point out some of
those prosperous and independent
farmers. We don’t find them in this
part of Georgia.
By an overwhelming vote, Mc-
Carthy Crenshaw of Jacksonville,
"FV, was chosen the most outstand
ing student of 1933 at the State
University. He polled more than
double the number of votes cast by
his nearest competitor.
Secretary Wallace believes 10,-
000,000 acres of the area now being
planted to cotton should be devoted
to other crops; that this country’s
output should be reduced in order
to better the price to the southern
farmer.
Commencement exercises of the
Ninth District A. & M. school were
held May 26-29. This is the last
commencement of this school, since
by recent action of the Board of Re
gents it will be abolished July 1* a

tional institutions in Georgia.

TO A YOUNG GIRL
How beautiful you are,
How young and comely.
May naught e’er mar thy beauty or
thy grace,
May God always bless you.
Your life be free from care,
And sin ne’er scar the radiance of
r ,, thy face.

THE GYPSY
I saw her in -the market place,
Selling yards of webby lace;
Full of spirit, full of grace,
A gypsy wild and free.
Her dress was of the brightest hue,
Scarf of flaming scarlet, too;
Singing softly, “I love you”;
A Gypsy young and free.
Her face was radiantly bright,
Her hair dark as the midnight;
Her eyes luminously bright,
A Gypsy lovely and free.
Oh for your youth, my dear,
Your freedom without fear,
Your eyes that know no tear;
Gypsy, all would I give.

THE WANDERER
My hands are Teally washing dishes,
But I pretend it’s the ocean spray;.
My feet are busy in the kitchen,
But I can feel them running away.
My eyes are watching the boiling
syrup,
But towering mountains my mind can
see;
My ears hear the oven clock ticking,
But my soul hears the dashing sea.
* * *
A PRAYER
Oh, God, help me to reach the goal,
Measureless windows for my soul,
Not afraid of irksome toil,
Till the guerdon’s won.
Looking always toward the light,
Striving ever for the right,
Groping fearless thru the night
Till the journey’s done.

THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS
Denseness of undergrowth,
Undisturbed for years,
Breathing forth mystery
Akin to joy with tears.
Majesty of mountains,
Glorious to behold,
Inspiring adoration,
Depths of feeling never told:
TWILIGHT TIME
When the sun has gone behind the
hill,
When the dark comes creeping
And the earth is very still,
Then I call my little children
To come home to me—
Back to their fireside again.
The day is made for playing and fun,
Under the friendly sky;
But at dusk, when day is done,
I call them home to me.
I the door on all the world,
And gather them round my knee.
We talk of birds and men and flow
ers,
Of what we’ve seen and heard;
How we’ve spent the day-time hours,
How much we love each other!
How glad we are for the twilight time
When we can all be together!

NATURE’S INSPIRATION
Do you fear to-morrow?
Do you dread the turn of the road?
Does the night hold deadly terrors?
Do you 4>ear a heavy load?
Then go to the woods, my neighbor,
Where God’s wondrous trees do
grow,
Look up at their towering branches,
And you’ll gain strength for any foe.
Hear the wind’s caressing breezes,
Whisper courage to your heart,
You’ll be ready for the conflict,
Eagei\to do a manly part.

TRANSFORMATION
Have you seen the shining branches,
In the evening’s afterglow,
When the freezing wintry’ breezes
Have covered them with glistening
snow ?
How transformed they are and
gleaming,
In the morning, brown and bare;
Now. after a day of storming,
Like jewels rich and rare.
So my life has changed completely,
Since your love has come to me;
From barren, aimless living
To joyous ecstasy.
