BAD CORN SENT
GEORGIA DEALERS
Western Product Dama
ged in Harvesting
MERCHANTSARE WARNED
CORN SHOULD BE INSPECTED
BEFORE IT IS PAID FOR, OTH
ERWISE MERCHANTS HAVE
NO RECOURSE
Atlanta, April 4. —Thousands upon
thousands of bushels of spoiled com
are being shipped into Georgia from
the middle west, and the state pure
food department is having more than
it can do In keeping track of and
condemning such shipments.
This com was harvested un
der unfavorable weather conditions
and the result is when it comes into
the Georgia climate, full of moisture,
it becomes overheated, ferments and
actually rots in the car. There have
been cases in which State Pure Food
Inspector P. A. Methvin on opening
a car of hot com meal for inspection,
found the stench so great that it had
to be allowed to air for sometime be
fore anyone could go into it. Simi
lar conditions have been found to
prevail with a number of cars of
“sweet feeds” shipped into Georgia
with excessive moisture in them.
In Augusta the other day Mr.
Methvin condemned $35,000 worth of
com, and ordered it denatured so
that it could not be used for stock
feed. This com had already been
paid for. There are now 10,000
bushels of meal in Atlanta under
condemnation for similar reasons.
More than 100,000 bushels of bad
com and meal are now tied up in the
state, on account of its rotten and
putrid condition. Unless a stop can
be put to these shipments, there will
be a million bushels here within the
next thirty days, most of it paid for,
after which the purchaser is without
redress.
This com is paid for by sight draft
with bill of lading attached and is
shipped “not subject to inspection.”
Consequently when the purchaser
gets it, it is hot and unfit for any
thing, except a poor fertilizer. Cook
ed and sterilized it may somtimes be
fed to hogs, but even this is not ad
vised.
This bad com is going into every
section of Georgia. Where the pure
food department can find it, it is
promptly condemed and denatured;
but it 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
care in their purchases, to see that
the com is not overheated or spoiled,
and if necessary, to call for an in
spector. It should always be shipped
subject to inspection and not paid for
until inspection has shown it to be
sound and good.
