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.

'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.

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 'railroad congestion Continues. 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.
