REDUCTION ON
PRICE OF FLOUR

] HUI w IkVNu
Atlanta, Ga, Dec some very
illuminating figures have been COM
piled BY the executive Office Of the
Federal Food Administrations for
Georgia. DR.. 4 NJ. soule. show
ing that food control has saved
TO the consumer in Georgia alone,
On one commodity only, more than
three times as much as the entire
United States Food Administration
is costing the government BY con
gressional appropriation.
These figures show that, while
this saving has accrued to the fani
lies Of the state, the farmer has
made 100000 more for his product
out Of he same article than he
made before this one article was
taken under the food control regu-
iations
When -four was selling at retail
in Georgia for $l6 so per barrel the
price Of raw wheat was 81 40 per
bushel. Under government regula-
ton flour has been brought to $13
per barrel, a saving Of $3.50 per
barrel to the consumer, and the
price Of wheat is fixed one of 50 20
per bushel
Figures compiled by the govern
ment show there are 625. 900 fami-
lies Of the accepted average Of five
to each family in Georgia. The
average consumption Of flour per
family is four barrels per annum,
Or total Of 2.500,n00 barrel Of
-four IN Georgia each year The
reduction in the price Of flour to
consumer Of $3.50 per barrel on
four barrels a year to each Of the
625 900 families in this state runs
up to So, 10000 saved IN Georgia
in one year under food control reg
ulations
Then, there is another aide to the
operation Of this system. Before
the government took charge of the
wheat and -four situation the price
to the consumer was governed by
speculation and had already reached
$1,000 per barrel, with every indi-
cation that it would have gone to
any higher figure spectators could
force it; probably more than $50.
At that time and under that condi-
ton, the farmer was getting 81 40
per bushel for his wheat, and he,
too, was in the hands Of the specu-
lator. The government, in the
process Of regulating the raw and
finished product, fixed the price of
wheat at 1920 per bushel. Under
the old system OF speculation the
farmer, for the four bushels OF
wheat in barrel OF Aour,got $3.50;
under the new system of food con-
troll be gets $3.50 for the same -four
bushels Of wheat, or an increase Of
SO 20 which, on the total -four con-
sumption in Georgia alone, yields
him $500, 900 a year increase for
same amount Of wheat consumed in
making the flour on which the con-
sumner is saved s8,750,o0o year.
This IS an example Of the elimi-
nation Of profteering in -four and
wheat by the operation Of food con-
troll under the United States Food
Administration.
