BETTER PRICES
FOR HOGS seen
IN BIG MARKETS

That the farmers of Georgia, who
have complained of the low prices they
are receiving for the hogs, would reap
the benefit of the stabilized price of
$Ll.50 if they shipped to one of the
central markets, is the statement made
by l.. Saunders, of the meat division OF
the United States Food Administration.
in reply to an inquiry on the sub
1ect sent to the department by Rep
resentative Crisp of this congressional
district. Mr.. Saunders alludes to the
TACT, however. that there is a differ
ence In market value between peanut
fattened hogs and those fed on corn.
The matter was taken up by Con-
gresham Crisp as a result of a large
number of complaints Following is a
copy of the letter received by him from
Mr.. Saunders:
In reference to the letter from the
Hon. c. R. Crisp, enclosing letters
from the Richland Grocery Co., dated
Feb. Sth, 1919:
IF the farmers would ship their
hogs to one of the central markets in
which the seventeen-ffty price is OPP
erative, subject to freight differences,
they will receive the stabilized price.
There is, as you realize, a difference
in market value between peanut fat
tened hogs. The food administration,
also, cannot control the prices paid at
local plants by packers who are not
in position to market their goods in
Europe. 1t is the European price
which makes possible the maintenance
of the stabilized prices to the hig pro-
Queer under the general terms of the
announcement made by the Food Ad-
ministration in November 1917. In
directly this large percentage of hogs
controls the sales price of the major
portion of the hogs sold in the United
States, and does so effectually where
there is easy access to the large cen
trail markets, where sterilization is
completely effective"

TURN CLOCKS AHEAD
ON MARCH 80

Washington.-The nation will turn
forward its clocks an hour on March
3Oth because the daylight saving law
is not affected by the coming Of peace.
While passed Ms n measure to con-
serve fuel, the daylight saving law Is
on the statute books to stay as per-
manent national policy, unless congress
repeals 1t. Thus far there has been
no agitation whatever for the repeal
Of the law, and while there are bills
pending to repeal nearly every other
war measure, this one stands. The
present congress adjourns March 4,
and II Is certain the new cc 1ress will
not be In extra session by that time.
SO there Is no chance Of the law being
repealed for this year, at any rate.
The general impression Is that the
people are pretty well satisfied with
the daylight law.
The bill provides for the clocks to
he changed the last Sunday Of March.
That day this year is the Both
