STATE BUREAU
OF MARKETS
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28—The
Georgia State Bureau of Markets
is now wall organized and ready
to extend any assistance the
farmers of Georgia may need in
the marketing of their surplus
food products.
Blanks have been printed upon
which any person may specify
what he has to sell or what he
wishes to buy, These blanks will
be furished to anyone desiring
them upon application. This in
formation is then kept right be
fore the Department, and at the
first opportunity the seller and
buyer are brought into touch
with each other.
Director L. B. Jackson of the
market bereau, in accordance
with the recent act of the Legis
lature, has already made his bond
of $5,000 and filed it with the
Govenor. He is now prepared to
handle every case that needs
marketing attention. All who
desire any information with re
gard to the marketing of food
p?-oducts, or wish blanks upon
which to list what they have to
sell or what they wish to buy,
should correspond directly wiLh
the Department, and each’reque
st will be given prompt attention
With the sanction of the State
Legislature, the Georgia State
Bureau of Markets has already
gone to work upon the problem
of organizing local market depots
in every county in the State. It
is giving first attention to those
who have requested assistance.
Any county which wishes to
organize a local depot for the
purpose of assembling food pro
ducts in carload lots for shipment
and sale, or which wishes to
join neighboring counties in this
work, should call on the Depart
ment for assistance. Many of
these local market depots have
already been organized; others
are simply awaiting their turn.
Each case will be taken up in
turn and organization perfected
as early as possible. The market
bureau is anxious to have every
farmer in Georgia feel that it is
his, and to call on it for what
he wants
Sow Wheat
The Department of Agricul
ture believes the most important
thing it is doing right now—at
east oneof them—is urging the
statewide planting of winter
wheat.
No plow should be idle this
winter. Plant at least two acres
of wheat to every plow you have,
from October 1st to December
15th, according to your climate,
and where wheat grows finest,
plant more. The good wheat
growing counties should put out
at least five to six acres to the
plow; no county should have less
than an average of two acres to
the plow.
Figuring the lowest estimated
yield, this must mean ten bushels
to the acre, or 10,000,000 bushels
in Georgia this year—enough to
feed the entire state, But that
is what we want because it is
what we have got to have.
Wheat for seed is one of the
big and important agricultural
problems this fall. Many sec
tions have all they need; others
are at a loss as to where to get
it.
Bankers, merchants and loca 1
county food councils should get
together NOW and solve the
seed problem. The state market
bureau stands ready to help.
Those who need seed and cannot
get it, should apply to the mar
ket bureau. Those who have
seed to sell should list it with
the market bureau.
But by all means, Georgia must
raise this fall and winter enough
wheat, rye, barley and cover
crops to take care of herself.
We can no longer depend on out
side agencies.
The market bureau isjnow in
business reJuly to voiiUer oorviee
to the producers and consumers.
The citizens of the State, any
and all of them, are welcome to
call on it. It will do its very
best to respond to their needs.
