Marketing Farm Products.

United States Senator Fletcher Jas
called a meeting of the national gar
keting committee to devise mea1ss to
aid the farmer in marketing his prod
ucts. and also to enable the consumer
to distinguish between the high cost
of food and the high cost of serv-
ice.
THE farmers of the country are pro-
ducing annually crops for which they
receive $4,000, 100000, and for which
the consumer pays, $27,00O,0O0,0 OO,"
said Representative w. s. Goodwin of
Arkansas, a member of the committee.
THE farmer gets 35 cents and the
middleman gets IS cents for each dol
lar the consumer pays for the farm
ers crops. There is an enormous
amount of waste. especially in perish
able products, because OF the lack OF
some central directing intelligence"

ATLANTA SOON TO HAVE
LARGEST FEDERAL PRISON

Atlanta, Ca, May 3O.-Atlanta will
soon have the largest federal prison
in the United States. A new half-mil-
lion dollar annex is nearing compile
ton, which will accommodate 1000
TO 1900 prisoners With the present
capacity of 1900 the annex will practi
cally double the number of prisoners
that may be housed.
There are two new buildings, one
of which is being rushed to completion
to take care Of prisoners that are af
irving almost every day. The second
building will require several months
owing to the slowness in cutting gran
ite for the walls. The buildings are
constructed entirely of granite and
structural steel. They are five stories
high.
For the purpose of cutting the stone
an immense marble plant, one of the
largest in the south, was constructed
on the grounds of the prison.
The cost of the building was esti-
mated at 100000, but will probably go
somewhat higher. The work has been
done entirely by the prisoners, many
of whom have developed into expert
marble and granite cutters. Had hired
labor been necessary the cost would
have gone nearly million dollars.
