WEEKLY LETTER
FROM J. J. BROWN
Atlanta, Ga., Jan.—Directly as a
result of intervention on the part of
the State Bureau of Markets of the
Georgia Department of Agriculure, a
definite minimum price of $75 per'
ton, carload lots, f. o. b. shipping
point, has been fixed for cotton seed,
when them ills were refusing to pay
more than (72.50 for it, on account
of the action of the Federal Food Ad
ministration in setting up fixed prices
for cotton seed products.
After the food administration had
fixed maximum prices for cotton seed
products, and allowed the mills $13
per Aon for overhead expenses and
profits, the best obtainable offer for
seed was $72.50 car lots, f. o. b. skip
ping point.
Director L. B. Jackson, of the State
Bureau of Markets, saw at once from
the figures given as the maximum
prices for products that $72.50 was
too low a price for seed, and imme
diately called the attention of the
federal food administration to the
discrepancy. The result of Director
Jackson’s interevention was a reply
from Dr. A. M. Soule, Federal Food
Administrator for Georgia, in which,
after setting forth the prices for prod
ucts and tee allowances, he clearly

Dr. Soule further stated that all
producers of seed should note care

The action of the State Bureau of

Mr. Wilkinson writes the Depart

point where it is now assured that
the greater part of the requirements
of the farmers can be supplied from
January to June, 1918. The announce

which deliveries can bo made will be
forthcoming very soon.
The State. Department ot-Agricul-

As he points out, the sheep raising
industry isf ar removed from tho ex
perimental state, having been tried
out and proven to be a money-making
enterprise years ago. In 1874, when
the state de.—i. g}f agriculture
was organized, it was proclaiin«Hfc f
every acre of Georgia land would sus
tain at least one sheep. During the
70’s David Ayers of south Georgia
and Robert C. Humber of middle
Georgia handled from 3,500 to 4,000
sheep, realized a net profit of 90 to
400 per cent on capital and labor and
invested. The pasturage they used
was wiregrass and Bermuda.
Sheep raising was successfully
practiced in the decade .beginning
1860, but about twenty years later
the farmers began to lose interest in
sheep and the industry gradually
dropped away to almost nothing.

oming farmer, recently completed a

HOLD BACK HOGS UNTIL
THE MARKET GETS LOW
Atlanta, Ga., Jan.—The following
important statement has been received
by Federal Food Administrator An-
drw M. Soule from J. P. Cotton, head
of the meat division of the United
States Food Administration, which
should be of particular interest
the Georgia people:
“Hold back your hogs.’’
“On November 3rd I stated that
the prices of hogs so fsr as this divis
ion could affect them, would not fall
below $15.60 per hundredweight for
the average of the packers droves on
the Chicago market until further no
tice. This statement I make again.
“The packers inform me they are
doing their best to aid us in that pol
icy. But largely owing to transpor
tation difficulties in the East, there
is now a glut of hogs on the Chicago
market, and more hogs than the
packers can kill and handle.
“The farmers and commission men
1n this territory must help by holding
back hogs temporarily, especially
from that market If there is co-ope
ration the minimum will be maintain
ed.. Do not sacrifice your hogs by
dumping them on an overcrowded
market”
