Atlanta, Dec. 18.—The State Bureau
of Markets of the State Department
of Agriculture calls the attention of
the farmers of Georgia to the Tact that
they should not be misled by the an
nounced aotlon cf the meeting of cot
tonseed crushers called by the Food
Administration in Atlanta last week,
in fixing the price of cottonseed meal
at ?47.50 per ton.
When it became known that the
proposed purpose of this meeting of
crushers, held Wednesday, (December
12, in Atlanta, was to reduce the price
of cottcnseed meal, Director L. B.
Jackson, of tho State, Bureau of (Mar
kets, filed a protest against suen ac
tion with Foud Administrator A. M.
Soulo on the ground that cottonseed
products were already relatively lower
in pri.c,e than products of a competi
tive nature in other sections of the
country; and, further, that such re
action would have a tendency t.ii
bear the price cf cottonseed remain
ing in the hands ti the producer and
also affect next year’s price of cotton
seed and at the same tim-e will have
a. decided tendency to depress the
price cf this year’s crop of both ,vil-
vet bean and peanut meal.
Relative to this meeting of cotton
seed crushers and its action the State
Bureau of Marekts makes the follow
ing statement ta the farmers of Geor
gia: ' ; ‘ .
“Immediately following the crushers
meeting tho leading papers of the
State carried the announcement that
the price of cottonseed meal had been
reduced that day' to the extent of $C
per ton as a result of which there
would her a saving to the people cf
Georgia of a million dollars or more.
“The State Bureau of Markers
wishes to warn the producers of Geor
gia against any action on their part
based upon this publication; for it
can readily be seen how such an
nouncement would have a tendency to
lower the price :f cottonseed in the
hands of the producer.
. “As a matter of fact, however, no
actual reduction whatever was made
in .the pr>e of cottonseed mean, the
actual figures showing the statement
to be unfounded. The leading daily
papers of-the State Wednesday morn
ing, December 12, the day of the
meeting, quoted 7 per cent, .ammonia

Losses In Georgia Will Not

—- i
'Atlanta, Dec. 18.—Remarkable re«
suits have been attained this year in
the suppression of hog cholera by the
State. V/eterinary Department, under
the direction of Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen
As a result of the persistent and thor
ough field work directed toward the
suppression of, hog cholera, tho lpsses
fcjr 1917 will not exceed' 8 per cent, of
the total production in Georgia. In
1914, these losses went as high as 30
per cent.; in 1915 thev exceeded 26
per cent., while in 1916 they were
about 16 per cent. These figures will
Indicate the splendid progrsss that is
being^made in the sunuressicn of this
serious disease in the State. ,
The unusually high commerical
va(ue of hogs at t^iis time has demand
ed a more thorough and mere active
campaign against hog cholera th&n
hag ever before been waged. The
United Stated Department of Agricul
ture, co-operating -with the State Vet
erinarian, is now furnishing seven
veterinarians, while the State Depart
ment has four veterinarians ln the

gaged wholly in the work of hog chol
era control. The results have been
extraordinarily gratifying and a tre-
mendous saving has been effectsd to .
the producers of GeorgUi this year. . ,
grade of meal. As a matter of fact;
therefore, the price was actually
boosted 50 cents per ton and the ac-
ual market figures show that tho state
ment as to a reduction of fG'per ton
was untrue. Such a statement de
ceives both consumer and producer.
The consumer is not getting a cheap
er price on meal and the producer is
misled as to the value of hls product.
The foregoing statement is made ■,be
cause the State Bureau of Markets
wants the people of Georgia and par-
Mcularlv the farmers, correctly in
formed.”
