SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES
OF COMMON RAIL OPERATION
said i member of the Chamber ol
Comnerce, today: “Under the compet
itive system the railways had outside
offices all over the conntry; the solici
ting forces of the traftic departmoents
of the various lines sleveloped much
correspondence and all mail had to be
covoered by postage, some expense in
the ageiegate. Dut all competition
for business having been abandoned
and the outside offices closed the pos
tage expense on such maitters is noth
ing now.
However thore is much postage ex
pense caused by necessary mail be
tween the separate organized com
panies, For instance the Goorgia road

URGE USE COW PEAS
X A ;
FOR ARMY RATION
] A ‘
STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGR]-;
CULTURE CALLS ATTENTION |
TO ADVANTAGES !
s |
ATLANTA, Ga., May 28— (Special)
—lln view of the large amount of t’it‘ldi
or cow peas held by the farmers ol
(eorgia, the Staie Burean of Markets,
of the Georgia Department of Agri
culture, has just addressed an urgent
letter to the subsistence division of
the rwar department at Washington,
urging the use of this valuable | and
nutritions product as a part of the
army ration.
it is pointed out that thousand of
soldiers who were regular consumers
E of these field peas, have gone into the
i army and are now deprived of a food
i to which they were long aceustomed,
| since the army furnishes only a wihite
}l:o'.m commonly called the navy bean.
‘;\“nr this white bean the goverament
! pays around 12 cents a peund, while
"o woll knewn Georsin field pea ean
be had at at about 5 cents o pound.
The market bureaw's leiter quoies
figures to shew that the field pea i
of higher nutritiour vaiue han the
, navy hean. It is richer both in protein,
| corbohvdrates and fai, the three s
sential food elements. While the navy
hean shews o total of 719 peyr cent
dicestible feod matter, the ce pea
shows 76.4 pepr cont and it is also much
more easily prenarved for consumption.
¢ While it is impossibie to state ac
i«-u:’;:?nl_\' just wiiat gquantity cf ficlkl
'm-:!\‘ are now being held, the bureau
totos it is within the bound of reason
to ostimate it at around twenty-ffve
million pounds.
The use eof these field peas as an
| army ratien would give the govern
[ ment a better food value at a cost of
less than fifty per cent of that of navy
beans would, at the same time, svae
the farmers a less of many hundreds
inated. 1 suppose as a war measure
thei> would be no objection to the
fl)x‘rector Gereral of the railways is-
Enuing an erder of a few words culinig
out cxpense and unhecessary work.”
