REPORTS FROM STATE MARKETS THE MACON MARKET | We are still in the midst of the watermelon sea- son with practically all of the cantaloupes gone with the exception of some few lots North of Macon but the prices on both have been extremely low. How- ever, cantaloupes are selling well now at a slight advance over last week. We have been able to move practically all the melons that reached our | market by truck and at some better prices than With the exception of only a few loads, the quality has been as fine as we have er seen in any one season and for this reason we q have been able to get truckers here to move them to other states. ie Due to extremely favorable seasons for the last few weeks in South and Middle Georgia, there has been a surplus of corn, lima beans and field peas, causing prices to decline considerably. Sweet po- tatoes have now commenced to move on our mar- ket and at a very satisfactory price but we fear that producers will soon flood the market with un- graded potatoes and force the price to the bottom. It would be much better for the producers if they leave the poorer grades on the farm to be fed to . livestock. a J. N. RAINES : THE DOUGLAS MARKET , With the exception of-a few scattering patches, watermelons have all sunburned beyond use. Can- taloupes are gone, and tomatoes will be gone in an- other week or so. Picking continues in several late patches with prices running around seventy-five cents a bushel. The late crop of butterbeans are just coming in this week with many first pickings next week. The quality is good and the vines are holding their color well. Prices have been low, ranging around sixty and seventy-five cents. These beans were planted to come in late for Florida de+ mand and we are looking forward to better prices in the next week or ten days. ie Sweet potatoes are moving in large quantities at around two cents per pound. Four truck loads of sweet potatoes moved through the market today. Pineapple pears are selling now at twenty-five to thirty-five cents per bushel. The quality is as good as I have ever seen. We are trying to move these pears as fast as they are listed with us but we need more truckers to take care of them. As tomatoes have gotten scarce and our heaviest season is over on highly perishable produce we are asking farmers to cooperate with us by bringing these products to the markettomatoes, beans, peas, okra, etc.on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wed- nesdays of each week.

I was invited to that meeting and on my return to Atlanta I immediately prepared the following letter to the major tobacco buying companies: Gentlemen: On last Tuesday a large gathering of tobacco grow- ers held a meeting at Camilla, Ga., and passed the fol- lowing resolution. The writer was present at this meeting and is in accord with the views expressed in this resolution: Whereas, due to prevalence of blue mold in South Georgia last spring, many farmers could not plant any tobacco and many others could not plant their allotted acreage in tobaceo and practically all tobacco is late, and Whereas, the opening of the tobacco market in Georgia has been advanced even in face of these condi- tions and period of remaining open has gradually been reduced, to the disadvantage of Georgia tobacco grow- ers, and, whereas, much of the tobacco in this section will inevitably be late, and thus growers of late to- bacco will be exposed to low prices, in pursuance of previous practices, Resolve, that we request Honorable Columbus. Rob- exts, Commissioner of Agriculture, to request the buy- ing companies to maintain even prices upon their erades during the latter part of the tobacco-selling season this year, so as not to entail too severe loss on late growers of tcbacco, and fourth, Resolve, that we request our Commissioner of Ag- riculture to use his influence and beSt efforts to pro- cure a later opening date for the Georgia tobacco market and a longer period for sales. At the request of the Georgia farmers, I am send- ing Mr. Walter Perkins, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, and Mr. J. W. Sikes, Assistant Supervis- or, Bureau of Markets, te your city to discuss the matter with you. Any courtesy shown these gentle- men will be appreciated by the writer and I.sincerely trust that you will be able to prolong the Georgia mar- ket a sufficient length of time to take care of the late tobacco and that you will maintain the price level dur- i ing the entire season. Sincerely yours, COLUMBUS ROBERTS, Commissioner of Agriculture. These letters were delivered to them at their home offices in Durham, N. C., and Richmond, Virginia by Mr. Walter Perkins, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, and Mr. J. W.

The state-wide club camp is rew in full swing at Camp Wil- king, on the University of Geor=- _ gia eampus in Athens. The > eamp for club girls has been | concluded ani now @ie boys are getting their outing. Southeast Georgia club boys were in camp July 19-23, south- west Georgia boys camped in Athens July 26-30, northeast Georgia boys are scheduled for August 2-6 and northwest Georgia club boys will come to camp August 16-20. The week > of August 9 has been reserved for the annual State 4-H Lead- ership conference. In addition to the state club eamp at Athens, numerous county and district 4-H club camps are being held through- out the summer in all sections of the state, Mr. Cunningham said. In many cases, abandon- ed CCC camps are being used by club members and these seem to provide excellent fac- ilities for these outings. Numerous Contests Mr. Cunningham also men- tioned the fact that this is the contest season. First, contests in various phases of club work are held in the counties, and then county winners compete. in district contests. Finalists in the district meets then com- pete for state titles. The health eontest will be held in Athens during the leadership confer- ence, and the clothing and bread-making finals are sched- uled for-Macon in October. The contests for boys and girls are being held simultan- eously this year for the first time.

Improve Their Livestock and Market Their Produce By F. J. MERRIAM Monday morning Walter Perkins, Assistant issioner of Agriculture, under Mr. Roberts, | we still have about four hundred gallons. lots of syrup to keep a chain gang happy. We have e@ into the office full of enthusiasm about the yonderful things that were happening down in dge County and a man by the name of McCranie, > was largely responsible. There were, it seems, okehouses full of bacon and lard, cribs full of orn, store rooms full of flour, purebred cattle and logs and bumper crops, for all of which W. D. Mc- franie, the one-man county commissioner, was hiefly responsible. Well, said Mr. Ralls, this vil bear looking into. You must go down, Mr. jam, and ascertain the facts. I will write Mc- Sranie a letter. And, Merriam, find out what they re doing about marketing the farmers produce. ind so it was arranged and I went down to Hast- man, Georgia. I found Mr. McCranie in his office t the Court House. He is a man of nedium size, r heavy-set, with a quiet voice and ready smile man who evidently knows what he wants to do and has the courage to go ahead and do it. Thave heard about Dodge County, Mr. McCranie, nd I have come down to check up on you. I am ike the man from Missouri, I have to be shown. Well, just let me get through with a couple of m here and we will go. - While he was talking to the men his secretary, rs. Cobb, showed me some photographs. Now, lis, said Mrs. Cobb, is the picture of our prize og that we butchered last fall. pounds, gross weight and net 946 pounds. The ams weighed 130 pounds each. You can get some dea of its size by comparing it with the convict tanding beside it. Oh, you will see we have the ods all right. ny years and know what he was up against and at he had to overcome. Now; if you are ready we will just get in my and I will take you around and show you, said . McCranie, coming back into the room. Ah, I see Mrs. Cobb has been showing you the photo of ur big hog. We were right proud of that hog. only wish you could have seen him. | LIVE STOCK MARKET Well, now, that is our saw mill Gown there: Jt has proved one of the best paying investments we have. With it we were able to produce the nec- essary lumber for our new livestock sales barn, which is practically completed. that first. It is 120 feet long and 76 feet wide, with cattle pens on one side and hog pens on the other. Then af be end we will have the scales for weighing and seats for the buyers. when we have auction sales. Over on the side here are the oper pens and chutes for unloading from: trucks. Then at the other end near the railroad tracks we will have more open pens with the necessary chutes for loading on railroad cars. In other words, we have here the complete necessary equipment for the marketing of cattle and hogs to the best ad- vantage and cattle and hogs are fast becoming one + |. home demonstration agent. of our chief money crops in Dodge County. There will be no charge to the farmers of the county for the use of the barn. The only charge will be their proportionate share of the cost of ad- vertising and the salesman or auctioneer. furnished the lumber and the WPA furnished part of the roofing and cement and their men did most of the work; and we have something: here worth real money to the county. ee PRODUCE MARKET Wow that open piece of land out there next to our livestock barn and market is where we propose to have our produce market. It also will be located where we car have railroad trackage which we con- sider most necessary to the successful operation of any market. Then you see we can ship water- melons and other produce in carlots without dif- ficulty. Our Junior Chamber of Commerce is tak- ing an active part in this enterprise and we ex~ pect to put it right through. MEAT AND LARD Now I guess I had better show you our smoke- thouse next. You see om that side we still have sixty fifty-pound cans of lard. We had twenty- one cans when we started killing last. year. And meat! You see this house is pretty well filled with . hams, shoulders and middlings and we have eight tons of meat in cold storage. Tt takes three middlings a day to feed our garg to say nothing of flour, meal, syrup and vegetables. on the waste around here and furnish egps. We give the gang bacon and eggs for breakfast with hot biscuits, syrup and coffee and sometimes grits. Then we try to give them at least two vegetables for dinner and supper with boiled meat and corn bread. And the old hens: we kill them off for the men. A dozen hens and a peck of rice make a pretty good stew for dinner. We not only feed over sixty-eight convicts but ere are one hundred and twenty paupers to whom we furnish supplies. That old woman who stopped me back yonder needed food. I had to see she: got it, and this morning another. woma.. with four children needed help; husband out, of work ..and nothing in the house to eat,.we will have to: ;see, that she does not suffer until her husband gets ut I want to show you here how we cure our .

SYRUP AND FLOUR Now over in this house is our syrup, of which It takes seven acres in sugarcane growing now, which should produce enough to supply our needs. And | here is our wheat. flour of which we still have, as . you see, seven barrels left of the 1936 crop. Our _ crop this year was light because of smut. ly made nine hundred bushels We on- on twenty-seven acres. We have made as high as forty bushels per acre and our average for the past four years is thirty-seven bushels. Most of our 1937 crop is be- been making all the flour we need. But come back here. I want to show you my fig and pineapple pear cuttings. You see there are a good many rows about knee high: and some of the. figs have fruit I plan to give one of each to any 4-H club boy or girl or farmer even who wants them to. set out in some rich spot near the house. Get them to: thinking you know. . SWEET POTATOES And here is our sweet potato curing house built oh the most approved plan amd with a capacity of five thousand bushels. Last year we made two hundred and fifty bushels per acre and you see we still have a: few bushels of last years crop on hand and in a short time the new crop will be ready to begin harvesting, of which we have thirty acres. _ We also cure potatoes for the farmers in the county, charging them twenty per cent or one bushel out of every five. We are gettng our crates ready now for the next crop. a CORN AND OATS Corn, yes we have corn. Come down here and let me show you. It takes lots of corn to run this outfit; two hrndred to three hundred bushels a month at least, sixty of which go into meal. But |, you- see the pile there, plenty to last us until the new crop comes in, of which we shovld make at I shall have to take that corn crop Iam going to build a new tight barn to hold that corn, one where the corn can be treated to keep out the weevils and rats. An@ over here is the storehouse where we keep About fourteen hundred bushels in that bin: Our oats didnt do so well this year because of smut. where last year we made seventy. Didnt you treat your seed to prevent smut? I Oh, yes, he replied, we used Formailde- hyde, but I think the excessive wet weather had . something. to do with it. Yes, that is our pressure canning outfit. We put it in here temporarily. We can for the farmers of the county free, except the cost of the instructor. We will put up a new building right away to take care of the canning which is most important. We have two outfits besides the small one used by the NTow over here is our trench silo. It is ninety feet long, eight feet wide at the bottom, thirteen _ feet wide across the top and seven feet deep. It holds about ninety tons and you see it is two-thirds full right now with silage put in last summer of - eorn and velvet beans. I expressed my surprise that no more of the silage had been used. Well you see, said Mr. McCranie, gs, long as our citron melons last the cows prefer _ - the melons to the silage. ' in our corn, as I will show you. We plant citror melons MORE MULES AND HOGS But first come around to the mule barn and see |-our jacks, of which we have two. The jacks were at the back side of the lot, but when called uttered a long and loud bray and came trotting over to be rubbed and petted. We will eventually raise all our own mules in this county, said Mr. McCranie. | We give free service to farmers. in the county who have mares to breed. _ you. can see two mares with young mule colts, They Out in that pasture there are three-year-old mares with their first colts and they helped to make a crop too, We ave five , brood mares, fourteen mules, two horses, two stal- lions, two jacks and the two three-year-old fillies _ with the mule colts. Then we have sixty-three head _ of white face Herefords, ten Aberdeen-Angus cows with six calves. Also nine Hereford bulls, six Aber- ' deen-Angus and two Shorthorns most of which are ' Joaned out to farmers over the county who have livestock they are trying to improve. And in this hog pasture back of the barn we - have several Poland-China sows with their pigs. Yes; we have nothing but the Spotted purebred registered Poland-China hogs on the farm and we - will swap pigs with any farmer in the county. Pig for pig, no matter what breed he has. In that way we get the purebred hogs introduced over the county. We have ninety-five pigs and altogether head of purebred Also fifteen registered boars, Joaned out to farmers over the county. However, I see you are getting hungry and there is still much to show you over the county. after lunch. EVEN MAKE COFFINS . We passed the saw: mill on our way out after. Inch and Mr. McCranie remarked: You know, that saw mill surely has been a help. We not only sawed the lumber of that big new barn you saw, but we built a new stockade, also houses for the county agents office and one for the home demon- = However, we have - We only made thirty bushels per acre stration agent with room enough for her classes : - and demonstrations in canning, preserving, cooking, etc. Also a house for the welfare workers and WPA headquarters and we even go so far as to.make cof finsordinary coffinsplain but good, padded and lined. We do that on rainy days and give them to the poor when needed who have no money. And see that pile of slabs? We use them for fire wood at the court house and jail. This county spends no money. for coal. Pages As we passed a nice white house on a corner of the street he remarked: That is where my bos. lives. Your boss, said I. I didnt know you had a boss. I thought you did just as you pleased Oh, no, he replied. You see my wife lives there. Well, perhaps, that accounts for your success, was my rejoinder. Perhaps it does, at that, said he. GROWING TIMBER os Now before you see the crops I want to take you out to show you some growing timber. The growing of pine timber for turpentine, cross ties and lumber, is you might say, my pet project. If gone about in the right way it is destined to make this whole south Georgia country rich. I have four boys and I intend that every one of them shall have > some of this cheap land and grow timber. Last winter we gave away little slash pine seedlings to the 4-H club boys and girls in the county, enough to set forty acres and that is just a starter. Every boy im the county should have a few acres of pine coming on and the slash pine grows so fast. No you see those trees over there. They are at least thirty feet tall and some of them large enough ~ right now to begin working for turpentine. And y in 1925 that land was in cultivatior with cotton growing on it. In this old field you can see the young pines coming on in rows where we set them I like to set the young trees six feet apart in rows thirty feet wide. They are then more easily pro-_ tected against fire and we can plant some grazing crop like oats between them and sow Lespedeza and carpet grass especially in the low spots. We will drive over to that patch of young timber yonder. I want to show you where we have plowed up the wiregrass running quite shallow with a one-horse, _ turner. Weare now cross-breaking and getting t ready to sow in oats this fall and then in carpet grass and Lespedeza, get something in there that is good for livestock and not wire grass which burns and ruins your timber. 5 We had been driving for some time and finally came to a piece of good timber. I just wanted to show you this piece of timber because the fire has been kept off by plowing fire rows in check through it. Just come down here. See the little pines coming up through the grass? If fire got in here it would kill them all out and ruin hundreds and hundreds of dollars of potential wealth. I cn- sider fire our worst enemy down here. I would almost rather a man would set fire to my barn than to my woods, for I can insure my barn. Naturally. in a county like Dodge, where there is no fence law and the stock run out, there is always a temptation for some people to burn the woods in the spring. However, our folks are learning to plant oats for spring grazing and the velvet beans and citron mel ons will carry the stock through December and un- til the oats are ready. But to get back to our trees. You know the Gavernment estimates that one thous- and acres of timber protected from fire will brin in an income of $275.00 a month? Young trees set twelve by twelve feet or six by thirty in twenty years would be worth $140.00 an acre. When yo take into consideration the fact that these pines flourish on the poorest soil, too poor to grow a pay- ing crop of corn or cotton, just think what a won- derful asset the South has. I just cant get over it, especially for our boys. ue _ FOUR CROPS IN ONE aa Well, we must get on out to one of the farms for we have three. It didnt take us long and when > we arrived and drove down into the field, I saw corn already made with two big ears to the stalk and velvet beans running over them. The corn was in five foot rows and in the middles was a row of runner peanuts and pretty well all over the ground x - was those Citron melon vines with melons setting from two inches to eighteen inches long. Four crops in one, all right. I want you to come down here later in the fall and see those Citron melons shining over that two hundred and fifty acre field of corn. eee "Rich land. Yes, it is rich because the vegetable matter is being kept up. We do not ever pull th foddernothing but the corn and that field shoul produce at least twenty-five bushels per acre. _ Next week we will turn one hundred eight-weeks old purebred pigs into this field. The mixed breeds will be put into that field of Spanish peanuts we passed on our way out. Yes, we have grazing for. our hogs and cattle the year round. They gather. the crops. That is where the profit lies. Later. af-_ ter the corn in gathered, cattle will be turned in- here. We find that where they have Citron melons to eat along with, the velvet beans, they do much > better and never have any bad effect from the beans as they sometimes do when they eat them. by themselves a eS A ONE-HORSE FARMER As we drove away, I asked him. I said: Mr. Mc- Cranie, what were you doing before you became commissioner? He replied: I was farming. You see, he continued, father died when I was verv - young, so I had to turn in and helo mother. Didnt have much. time for school, just a common school education, you might say, not ever high school, Ve had 2 one-horse farm and that was where I started. Then I bought another farm and more mules until when I went with the County thirteen years aro Tt was running a severtteen myle farm. When the depression hit us and we couldnt sell what we made (Continued on Page Four) Cre i: and our poor scrub iivestotke ak worth driving to market, I decided we had to produce something - to eat to feed those prisoners and paupers. up to Atlanta and 1 looked over the stock yards and I found that while our scrub stock brought little or nothing, that purebred stock, Herefords, -Shorthorns and Angus, sold for a good price. I bought some \bulls and came back determined = _breed up our cattle in Dodge county. FARMING FOR THE COUNTY be We started farming for the county in 1929 and farming Having made plenty of feed in 1935 I bought fifty steers which I fed out and "sold at a profit sufficient to pay our 1936 fertilizer.

There has been @ tendency among. meat packers and | butchers to .use chemical preservatives on ole and greund meat.in order to make an inferior tale product appear fresh. ibits the use of any pregervative meats. .e Chemical Division, of the State Department of Agriculture, has complted a number of analy- ses for preservatives in Fresh meats. The sam- les for these analyses were taken from several ctions of the State by the Veterinary and Food Inspection Divisions. A large. proportion of the samples show that they have been treated with the so-called gulphite preservatives. Since certain packers have petitioned that they e permitted to use small amounts of these sul- phites, the Department has made a thorouch study of the use and effects of this preservative. Opinions ave been resuested and received from noted Phy-> ns, Patho'ogists, and representatives of the: tadical Sorictties of Georgia. These experts re- ommend that sulphites should not be permitted n or on edible fresh meats. The following quota- tions are t-xen from some of thy letters received: _ Doctor Roy R. Kracke, Professor of Pathology. nory University, in his letter quotes the following :. Sollman, T. H. A Manual of Pharmacology. _ The principal importance of the sulphite arises from its use in preserving foods. Their harm is mainly indirect in that they improve - the odor and appearance of spozted meat $0 that it is sold as fresh. Pou ae Outline of basic arguments from literature: ee 17 As At harmful as a chemical? Not unless - used in excessive | amounts. . iF. PURVIS, Director ; Food Inspection in = or On. 2 Does it lead to injurious conditions in the food to which it is added?. ers posed meat salable as first class meat. not kill bacteria but hides their effects. 3. Is it expedient? Not at all. Sulphite is a weak preservative. Under present conditions of refrigeration not at all necessary unless Yes, makes decom- . fraudulent sales of inferior meat are eontem= < _ plated. pee Tanner, Fred -W. Be S., M. 8. Ph .D. Prof. of acteriology, University of Bae fa Wiley stated that the administration of sulfurous acid in food is objectionable and produced disturbances of metabolic functions et and injury <0 health and digestion: - These compounds are now prohibited as z food preservatives. These compounds may not be added to meat products according to ~ U.S. Bureau of Animal Industry Order 211, Regulation 18, Section 6, Paragraph 1. r. T. F. Abercrombie, Directwwr of the State De- tment of Public Health, includes ne FORE IPE | his. letter: : Suiphites unen applied to organic matter such as fresh meat very quickly oxidize. to : sulphates. In so doing they act on the hemo- _ globin in the meat, changing it to a bright _ red color. The chief objection to the use of sulphites or any other chemical agent for _ the purpose of restoring the color is that _ it may screen the true condition of the meat. In other words, it deceives the consumer, giving the impression that the meat is fresh. As a preservative it is doubtful if it has any value. 2 Dri HC. Sauls, President of the Fulton County _ Medical Society, includes in his letter: -. In regards to your letter of June 24 con- cerning the use of sulphites in preserving of meat, will state that I am not im position. - to discuss the matter except that, if the use . of this causes any harmful result in the meat, I am bitterly opposed to its use, and think a A should be discontinued. The State Veterinarian has stated that the law. will be enforced prohibiting the use of sulphites, other preservatives, and dyes on fresh meats but- chered, ground, transported, sold or offered for sale in Cooreia, The Citv of Atlanta has prosecuted and fined several meat packers and butchers found putt of using sulphits in meats sold within the -citv limits. Several of the Atlanta mars:ezs have asked per- mssion to use certain chemicals known as Meat Tonderizers. Enzymes in these preparations hanoe the character of the meats and misleads the purchaser as to the condition of the product. "ny meats which have undergone treatment vith chemicals, preservatives, colors, or tenderizers cannot be sold or offered for sale as fresh meat. J. PRESTON YARBROUGH. State Chemist. FRNEST A.
