MARKET FOR FOOD CROPS

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Again this
year as last. and for years past, the
farmers of the South are being urged
t. produce larger food and field
crops than ever. The Importance of
great food production is not denied
by any one in fact. every one knows
that it will be necessary in order to
supply the world with things to eat.
With an ever increasing population,
every man. woman and child, each Of
whom is a consumer, there is great
necessity for increased production of
food crops in order to keep pace with
the increased consumption.
In order to give farmers in this
section greater incentive to produce
such craps a ready market should be
open to them when these crops are
gathered and the Bnquirer-Sun be
leves that the business men of
Columbus, PheniX City and Girard
could do nothing that would result in
greater good to the entire community
than to provide such market.
The farmers are perfectly willing
to raise any kind of II crop that will
be profitable to them. but it is quite
natural for them to hesitate about
going to the trouble and expense re-
quired TO raise such a crop unless
they are given assurance that they
will not lose much money by so
doing,
Last spring the question of provid-
ing a market of this kind was discuss
ed n god deal and some steps were
taken looking to the formation of a
stock company with sufficient capital

cation was not completed. 1t is to be
hoped that this spring the matter

1919, had Increased by S0,7 percent
over 1913, clothing had gone up 199
percent. and furniture and furnish
ings 1879 percent.
The largest increase in the items
which must be bought by the average
American family, has occurred in
cloth and cl3thing. The Bureau Of
Labor Statistics index number for
December 1919, shows that if Ase take
the price Of this group of items for
1913 to be 100. then in December, 1919,
the price stood at 1886. The next
greatest inrease has occurred in lum-
ber and building materials, which, on
the scale of 10, jumped from 9S in
1913 TO 253 in December 1919.

everybody knows that he is not. His
mental faculties are at work with an
alertness that is putting the world
again on notice that they have to deal
with man of high ideals and firm
principles before they put anything
over on these United States.
Popularity in llis-own country does
not count. He is President and has
The Cordele dispatch., 1920-03-08

win be taken up and not allowed to
rest until everything necessary is
done to provide market to take
care of sneh of food and feed crops
as may be offered for sale.
Illustrative of the necessity for
such market we may take the dry
goods merchant who, deals in all
kinds # dry goods for which there
is any demand but who does not carry
goods for which there is no demand.
For instance, there was time, a
score of years ago, when every dry
goods merchant carried line of peans
cloth for whcch there was a demand.
This cloth sold at from 20 cents to
80 cents a yard and was used large
ly in the making of pants for men
and boys. In many instances suits OF
clothes were made of jeans, the best
quality of which lasted we'll. Doubt
less many of our older citizens recall
the time when they wore jeans suits.
But probably no jeans is to be found
lin any dry goods store in Columbus
today because jeans clothes are no
longer worn and there is no market
here for jeans cloth.
If there be no ready market for
food products can we reasonably ex-
pect the farmer to raise them?

CLOTHING is HIGHEST

According to statistics clothing
have gone higher than food and this
side of the living account is now
more largely an extortion program
than any--if any at all are higher
than ought to be. We have seen no re-
ference to this thing in general ac-
counts of fluctuations, but it is a fact
that cloth and clothing are now the
most unreasonably high commodities
if We must Judge from figures gather
ed by the bureau of labor and statis
tics at washington.
The latest information available
concerning wholesale f@od prices in
dicatesaa sharp check occurring about
the beginning of February, 1920. The
New York "Annalist" publishes an
index number showing the fluctuation

of January stood at approximately

two years ago. The significance of
this index number is increased by the
fact that it is based on twenty-five
food commodities selected and ar
ranged to represent theoretical
family's food budget.
Accarding to the most recent esti-
mates of the Department of Labor
food is now smaller percentage of
average family budget than ever be-
fore. Some time ago the Department
found that the average American
family spends about IS percent of its
budget sfor food, but when we allow
f.r the relatively small increase in
food prices since 1913 we find that
The percentage of increase as applied

edsjon A wTtb"f-p 1t int g
Generally speaking, it has been
thought that hogs which are fed on
peanuts can be hardened by a ration
in which no peanuts appear. The pro-
bem seems to be a physiological one.
At present there are two definitely
known causes of soft pork, the first
being the presence of oily fats in the
feed which appear practically un-
changed in the pork, the second being
immaturity and lack of finish in the
hogs slaughtered
There is NJ doubt that this pro-
blem is the most important one con-,
nected with the pork production in
the South, but its Importance is by
no means confined to that section of
the country. The most fundamental
researches which have yet been CON
Quoted on the subject were carried on
in Canada, and the Bureaus investi-
cations are therefore being planned
to apply to the country at large.
I'VE have not been able to organ

sary in connection with this investi-
cation on account of the difficulty of

making some headway and hope to
begin the chemical work within a.
comparatively short time.
There seems to be no doubt what
ever that when hogs are fed and pro-
Derly finished in the SOuth on feeds
which do not contain oily fats, pork
of as good quality can be produced as
anywhere else. 1t must also be said
that 50 far as flavor is concerned,
hams and bacon from peanuts hogs
are excellent. The shrinkage in
weight on account of dripping is the
fact on which packers base their dis.

Thomasville es-Enterprise; It's
quite the fashionable thing these days
to cuss the President. 1t does not
make any particular difference what
you cuss him about just SO you do it
with fervor and virility. He is crazy,
hasn't any sense and never will have.
His brain wont function and his mind
is diseased. He is an old worn-out
man that is trying to hold a job that
he can't manage and in fact there
isn't anything that he has said or
done that wasn't wrong and never
can be righted
You can hear that sort of comment
from the Senate down to the street
corner and from the great financial
centers down to the little cross roads
villages. It's TOO fanshionable for any
body to miss and like many other
men he is fit subject for martyrdom
because he can't possibly be hurt by
it and don't care darn what is said
and done.
