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. Big S. S. Event The state-wide older boys’ and older girls’ Conference to be held in Atlanta, Oct. 12, 13. 14.
