6EOR6IA WILL NOT
SEND EUROPE WHEAT
The United States has approx
imately 300,000,000 bushels of
wheat on hand this year for
export and practically all of it
will probably be sold to the war
ring countries of Europe. Ac
cording to a report issued today
by the United States Department
of Agriculture the wheat produc
tion of the United States this
year will be around 892,000,000
bushels and only 601,000,000
bushels will be needed for food
consumption and seed purposes
at home.
The per capita wheat consum
tion of Georgia is 4.0 bushels,
and the total annual require
ment for seed and food purposes
in this state is 11,280,000 bush
els, leaving a deficiency of pro
duction this year of approxima
tely 9,600,000.

we passed, for they certainly
were a good test of your knowl

Most every one enjoyed them
selves during the holidays, espe
cially the pupils and they had
that “Monday morning lesson”
ready for the teachers.
The Butts County Fair was a
success, and the teachers partic
ularly are proud of the handwork
put on exhibition by the pupils of
the school.

passed by the Demosthenian De
bating Society at a recent meeting
