DR. SOULE SAYS
PLENTY OF LIVE STOCK BUT NO
FACILITIES FOR THE TRANS-
‘ PORTATION OF IT.
Dr. Soule, federal food administra
tor for Georgia, yesterday issued a
'cautionary warning of an approach
ing temporary fresh meat shortage.
'The shortage, it Is announced, ■ will be
felt in about‘a week or ten days.
*"■ “Conservation wiHhave to be prac
ticed and substitutes must be made
to take the place of fresh'meats," Dr.
Soule stated: Fish can well: be used
in place of much of the meat we have
>een consuming.
| “In meeting the condition, Atlanta
lousewlves are' ' fortuh'ate In that
| here is an abundant supply of Span-
sli mackerel on the Atlanta market
at this time, and that heavy catches
are being made. This grade Of fish,
selected, should sell in Atlanta at' 25
cents per pound, and Is one of "the
best available meat ’substitutes."
j On official information from Wash-
ngton Dr. Soule .bps issued notice to
local administrators in Georgia of the
expected meat shortage, and has glv-
| en, it is announced, positive direction
that there must be no increase in
prices because of the scarcity.
11 The shortage expected is attributed
-not to the lack of livestock but to dif
ficulty in transporting the meat.
I While the normal tendency under
I uch conditions would be to advance
11 he prices to retailers and consumers
out of line with cost of production, the
food administration has Instructed
meat packers not to sell at prices rep
resenting more than, normal average ,
margin above cost and to distribute
such meat as 4s available fairly among
customers. ...
| It is also announced that the food
administrator will direct packers and
wholesalers not to sell any retailer
who is proved. to have violated the
orders of the food administration. It
Is not expected that prices will be in
creased unless conditions .in some
states are such that they actually in
crease the cost of production.
Exchange of Corn for Flour.
Food Administrator A. M. Soule has
Issued a special order making pro
vision for the acceptance by merchants
from farmers of corn in exchange for
wheat flour, that farmers who pro
duced their own corn crops may par
ticipate in the “victory" or “flfty-llfty"
plan for- the distribution of flour.
The order follows:
“The retail merchant is authorised
at his discretion to accept from the
producer fifty-six pounds of shelled
corn or seventy pounds of ear corn
In merchantable condition and suit
able for human food in exchange for
twenty-four pounds of wheat flour
without the purchase of other cereals,
with such differential in favor of the
producer to be paid in cash as may
be mutually agreed upon by the par
ies, provided the price on which the
flour is based in making this ex
change does not in any event net to
the retail dealer more than a profit of
tl a barrel over the cost of said flour,
and the quantity of flour exchanged
with any one producer shall not ex
ceed uinety-slx pounds in any one
month.
“This method of procedure is advised
and recognised by the federal food ad
ministrator for Georgia as a means
of affording the producer an oppor
tunity of securing a moderate supply
of flour without working any undue
hardship and without obviating or up
setting aside the fifty-fifty basis of
Bale of wheat flour and other cereals,
established by the United States food
administration, except herein author
ised. •
"The above ruling shall in no sense
be considered as applicable to con
sumers who have on hand flour in
quantities sufficient fori their normal
requirements for a period of thirty
days." " : ■
