Half a Century Ago
Half a Century Ago, every community could
be supplied to some extent with locally dressed
meat, drawing on live stock raised nearby.
Now two-thirds of the consuming centers,
with millions of people, are one to two thousand
miles away from the principal live-stock produc¬
ing sections, which are sparsely settled.
The American meat packing industry of
today is the development of the best way to
perform a national service.
The function of providing meat had to de¬
velop accordingly. Those men who first grasp¬
ed the elements of the changing problem created
the best facilities to meet it—large packing
plants and branch houses at strategic points,
refrigerating equipment (including cars), car
routes, trained organization, profitable outlets
for former waste — which became the nat¬
ural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of
meat across the country.
If there were a better way to perform this
necessary service, American ingenuity and
enterprise would have discovered it, and others
would now be using it.
During 1918, Swift & Company has earned
a profit on meats (and meat by-products) of less
than ZYt cents per dollar of sales—too small a
profit to have any appreciable effect on prices.

STATE NEWS^ Of INTEREST
Brief News Items Of Importance Gath,
ered From All Parts
Of The State
Atlanta.—Plans have been projected I
by the business men of the state of | I
Georgia that if developed will place j
Georgia among the foremost states in !
the Union in agricultural production. I
The meeting was held in Atlanta. Rep¬
resentatives from the banking, manu¬
facturing and agricultural interests of
the state passed unaniinonsly on res¬
olutions to “unite all interests in the
state and to strengthen its farming
industries, increase food production,
stimulate animal industries, encour¬
age diversified fanning and to promote
the construction of good roads and the
establishment of good schools in the
rural districts.” The meeting was ad¬
dressed by Charles G. Baer of Chica¬
go, national agricultural expert. He j
stressed the fact that there must be |
close co-operation between business I
men and farmers if agricultural devel¬ j
opment be obtained. Doctor Soule of i
the Georgia State College of Agricul¬ j
ture, discussed the relation of increas¬ !
ed food production in Georgia and his
personal experience as food adminis¬ i
trator of the state for the past two I
years. He stated that in the past ten |
years the state had doubled its produc¬ |
tion of corn and stated that Georgia j
hogs. lias produced Commissioner this year J. J. one Brown million of |
I
the department of agriculture indorsed
the fact brought out in the speech of
Mr. Baer that to secure increased farm
production there must be closer co¬
operation between the business man
and the farmer.
Brown Predicts Higher Cotton Prices
Atlanta.—The cotton holding move¬
ment, outlined and supported by the
cotton states advisory marketing
board, is bringing results in the ad¬
vance of the price of cotton, is the
opinion of J. J. Brown, commissioner
of agriculture and chairman of the
board, who stated that an absolute
pledge of reduction in cotton acre¬
age to the extent of 50 per cent of
the 1918 area would be asked of the
farmers of the Soutli if necessary to
crown cotton king. Plans for the re¬
duction of acreage and the further
holding of cotton will be formulated
at a meeting which will be called' by
the cotton states advisory market
board to be held in New Orleans at
an early date.
Must Read Bible In Public Schools
Atlanta.—A resolution presented to
the board of education by A. C. Bur¬
ton calling for the reading of the Bi¬
ble daily in the various grades of the
public schools was adopted. •The pa¬
per states that this is done because
the Bible "contains the recognized ten¬
ets and teachings of the followers of
Christ and contains the faith of the
Hebrews as well. Tills can be done
without entering into a denomination¬
al discussion, if proper discretion is ex
ercised.” It will be the duty of each
teacher, the resolution recites, to read
to her class at the opening of school
every morning a lesson from the Bible,
to consist of ten or more verses.
Game Experts Boost Okeefenokee
Atlanta.—The famous Okeefenokee
swamp of Georgia, the generally, vig¬
orously condemned Okeefenokee. was

of the greatest sanctums for game in
the United States. Fresh from a
hunting trip there, President Crump¬
ton of the Rhode Island fish and game
commission and Fish and Game Com¬
missioner Adams of Massachusetts,
guests here of Georgia's fish and game
commissioner, Sam Slate, declared
that the swamp abounds in a greater
variety of game than any other part of
the United States they have visited.
Even black beat- they found in abund¬
ance. said Mr. Slate. They reported
quail hunting better in Georgia than
anywhere else in the South.

Service Records To Be Kept.
Atlanta.—Maj. Joel B. Mallet, se¬
lective service officer for Georgia, has
announced that inasmuch as records

such records must be assembled at
the local board of origin. To accom¬
plish this end all files in the state

gal advisory boards and government

apart and every record related to an
individual registrants returned to the
proper local board for filing in the
cover sheet of the registrants affected.

tion of all files must proceed as rap
idly as possible and if any local board
lacked sufficient office force to accom
plish this task immediately, the state
headquarters will send limited service
selectmen upon request of such
boards. Major Mallet also informed
all local boards in the state that all
calls of induction into the navy are
cancelled, and no more competent or¬
ders are to be issued for the indue
tion of registrants into the navy or
marines.
