Thousands upon thousands of bush
els of spoiled com are being shipped
into Georgia from the moddle west
and thes tate pure food department
is having more than it can do in
keeping track of and condemning such
shipments.
This com was harvested under un
favorable weather conditions and the
result is when it comes into Georgia
climate, full of moisture, it becomes
overheated, ferments, and actually

bases in which State Pure Food In
spector P. A. Hethvin on opening a
tar of hot com or meal for inspec
tion, found the stench so great that
it had to be allowed to air for some
time before anyone could get into It.
'Similar conditions have been found
to prevail with a number of cars of
“swee feeds” shipped into “Georgia
with excessive moisture in them.
In Augusta the other day Mr.
Hethvin condemned $35,000 worth of
fepoiled com, and ordered it denatured
'so. that it could not be use as stock
fee. ThiB com had already been
paid for. There are now 10,Q00

State, on account of its rotten and pu-
trid condition. Unless a stop can be
put to these shipments, there will be
h million bushels here within the next
thirty days, most of it paid for, after
which the purchaser is without re
dress.
This com is paid for by sight
draft with a bill of lading-attached
and i3 shipped "not subject to inspec
tion.” Consequently when the pur-
fchaser gets it, it is hot and unfit-for
anything except a poor fertilizer.
Cooked and sterilized it may some
times be fed to hogs, but even this is
hot advised.
This bad com is going into every
bection of Georgia. Where the pure
food department can find it, it is
promptly condemned and denatured;
hu itt is manifestly, impossible for the
department, with its small force, to
locate all of it.
Consumers of com are, therefore,
cautioned by the state department of
agriculture to exercise the utmost

At the present time, there is estl-
taiated to be one billion pounds of
I pork in the South Atlantic States, of
which Georgia is one. This large
surplus which has filed every place fit
, to store meat is caused by lack of
. transportation. Practically 80 per
cent of tho congestion is caused by
government operations of one kind
and another. This has prevented the
imeat now in storage from being mov-
bo moved soon. There is every rea
son to save every pig and raise every
hog to maturity so the storage plants
tan be filled np as soon as empty.
Otherwise there is danger that Italy
