FARMERS UNION
MEETS In MACON
PLANS BEING MADE FOR A VERY
IMPORTANT SESSION OF
THAT BODY.

The annual meeting of the Farmers
Union of Georgia will be held in Ma
con, November 18th and 18th. Head
quarters have been arranged at the
Lanier Hotel. President J. II. Mills
and Secretary A. j. Flemming will be
there in advance Of the meeting date
for arrangement of any final details
not already provided for.
Charles s. Barrett, President of the
National Organization, says this meet
ing will be, by long odds, the most I'M
portant gathering since the organiza-
ton Of the Farmers Union. Never
before has the organization in Geor-
gia or in any other state been con-
fronted with as great responsibility or
with as wide possibilities OF an almost
unbounded success as now. This ma
ton, in fact practically the whole
world, is dependent upon the farmer,
and the greater part of that depend
ence rest upon the success of the
Southern farmer.
Every local organization in Georgia
is being urged by the state officers to
so arrange it's affairs that nothing can
or will turn Up to prevent it's full
quota Of delegates attendingthe annual
meeting in Macon. Not only in the
election of offers for another year, but
in the facts and figures on world crops
world demands and world prospects
will be important to them as individ-
uals and as delegates, II will be for
them to get this information and take
it back home to their local members.
When the Farmers Union meets in
Macon Chalres S. Barrett, President of
the National Organization, will give to
Georgia farmers war message. Mr.
Barrett has covered the country as
probably no other individual in the
United States has in the past year.
He has been in contact with the nation
al authorities and is in peculiarly
favorable condition for making a
study for .himself-and that means
for the farmers-of actual conditions,
actual supplies in hand or in prospect
and actual demands
Never were facts and figures more
needed by farmers than they are now.
Mr.. Barrett has them and will make
that his message to the Georgia far
mers at the annual meeting in Macon.
1t is essential to the farmers of this
state that he get them, therefore it is
important that every local farmers or
ganizatiQn in Georgia send its full
number OF delegates to the Macon
meeting, and that these delegates be
prepared to grasp all that is to take
place at the annual meeting so he may
go back home and enlighten the local
membership. State officers say every
local union in Georgia should see to it
that nothing is held as more impor-
tant that attending the annual meet
ing of the State Union in Macon Nov
ember 18th and 4th.

BREAD is COMING DOWN
STANDARD size OF LOAF
LOAF WILL BE MADE OF STAND
ARD FORMULA AND SOLD AT
STANDARD PRICE

Washington, Oct. 20-A standard
loaf Of bread, made from standard
flour by a standard formula, and sold
at a standard price.
That is the Recommendation of the
special committee that has investi-
gated the bread situation for the food
administration.
Food administrator Hoover will ap-
prove the recommendations practical
ly as drawn and will enforce them by
putting the baking industry under Ii
cense
The result will be the placing on the
market Of a twenty-five ounce loaf
to retail at 10 cents This loaf will
be baked with crease in the middle
so it may be broken in half, and a
half loaf-or eleven ounces-wilI re-
tail for a nickel
| The bread committee tackled it's
problem from the viewpoint of secur-
ing for the consumer the biggest pos
| sible loaf, of good quality for the
least price. There was no idea of i'm
posing hardship upon the baking in
dustry, and care was taken, in deter
mining the size loaf and the price,
to leave fair margin for bakers pro-
fits.
The government, controlling the
wheat and flour supply, is in position
to standardize bakers flour. This
fluor will be supplied to all bakers
at a standard price aecteffd only by
the freight differential.
In determining the formula for mix
ing bread, elaborate tests were made
with many formulas and combina-
tons The one chosen was passed
upon by bread experts for it's nutri-
tive qualities, avor and appearance.
AS a conservation measure, the
sale of hot bread will be forbidden
All bread will be required to be IL
hours old before placed on sale.
The language of the committees
report leaves no doubt that the in
vestigation convinced committee
members bakers have been charging
exorbitant prices and reaping rich
profits Particular emphasis is plac-
cd On the statement that more than
half the rtail selling cost of bread
has been added after the bread leaves
1 the bakers ovens. Waste and
abuse" the report states, have been
! general in methods of production and
distribution, and in the margin of
profit demanded
In order to offer the consumer ev-
cry possible saving, the committee
also recommends that bakers be re-
! CURED to sell bread direct to persons
calling at the bakery, and that the
price on such sales should approx
maze the price to the retailer. This,
it is said, would make The twenty-five
ounce loaf 7, or not more than eight
cents at the bakery, and the hall loaf
four cents. h
One step to be determined before
the baking industry is placed under
license and the standard loaf requir-
ed is whether, at the outset, to Ii
cense all bakers or just the large
bakers operating more than one oven
There are about 10000 bakeries in the
United States, of which 80 per cent
produce 70 per cent of the bread. II
may be decided, at first, simply to Ii
eense the big bakeries, with the ex-
pectation that the small fellows will
fall in to line. If they do not, they
will be take in hand

WAvERLN FARMER NETS
CLEAN PROFIT or $1,000
FROM 1o5 SPRING PIGS

Joe D. McCray, hog man Of Wayland,
and made a thousand dollar prort that
prompts him to repeat that the Iowa
Stae college recipe for economical
pork production brings the right re-
suits
McCray's los pigs, high grade Duroc-
Jerseys We're farrowed after March q
last spring; sixteen were of May far
row. The los head weighed S,lS0
pounds, which, valued at nineteen
cents, would be worth s624.e0. On the
fourth, of August they weighed l9,slV
having gained 1858 paunds.
Seventy head of the heavier hogs ne
said last week at sl9,ao per cwt, and
averaged 22I pounds. Twenty-Five
head of the lighter ones were sold Tor
$3.50.
During the feeding period from May
% until the hogs We're sold on Oct. !,
they consumed 9l2 bushels OF corn
which McCrsy valued at s. bushel,
and forty sacks of tankage at 81
sack. The total cost of corn and tank
age consumed was 81 $3.50, Dsdueting
cost of fesd and value OF pigs at the
beginning, which would be S2,5sslo'
from the total value Of PIGS when
sold or Ss,TSl.s0, there is left sl,isaS6,

If credit is given 10 six acres OF al
falfa pasture which would have given
McCray siss.s7 revenue per acre, or
