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.
