Georgia wheat obtainable, and as a re-
suit, the farmers of the State last year
pocKeted in cash the proceeds from
$1,000 bushels.
: Much more Georgia wheat would be
brought if it were obtainable, accord
ing TO a statement of Ralph Birdsey.
The quantity We get is nothing like
as much as we would be glad to buy.
The mill 10 run by power furnished
by the Central Georgia Power Co.,
from its dam at Jackson, Ga. The
power comes to the mill in $500 volts,
and is transformed down to 220 volts.
There are fifteen electric motors, run
ming different parts of the machinery,
the largest of the motors being 200
horsepower.
Products Of the mill are shipped to
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida and Alabama. Little is
shipped outside this territory, because
the freight rates are not favorable.
The mill has been declared by ex-
perts to be. among the best in the
southeast. 1t has been running full
time practically ever since it was put
into operation. Birdsey's best has
been declared to be the highest grade
plain flour that can be made, being
milled only from selected wheat ana
from only the best part of the wheat.
Lower grades are, of course, made at
the same time Birdsey's best is
milled. In the self-rising and packing
department there are five 2,000-pound

MODERN FLOUR
MILLS ALARCE
SOUTHERN PLANT

Unknown to many people in the
South, Macon, Ga, has an industry
that manufactures annually $3,000,0O0
in wheat products and pays an aver
age of $4,000 a month in freight
charges. 1t is the Modern Flour Mills.
j. S. Birdsey ia president of the cor
poration, A. S. Birdsey is vice presi-
dent, and Ralph T. Birdsey is secre-
tary and treasurer.
The two grinding units of the mill
as it stands today give a capacity Of
1000 barrels of flour and thirty tons of
feed daily. Officials of the company
estimate that $500 worth Of cotton
sacks for packing -four and feed are
used each day. The grinding part OF
the mill proper runs twenty-four hours
a day and the packing and shipping
department runs ten hours daily.
The wheat storage or elevator ca
pacity of the plant is 100000 bushels.
This is little over months supply,
as nearly 100000 bushels of wheat are
ground in a month. The Modern Flour
Mills make it a point to buy all the
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-05-22

mixing machines and, for packing
flour into sacks, there are thirteen
packers and three feed packers.
The Modern Flour Mills Corporation
was organized and business was start
ed in 1913. In 1915 the first mill was
built on the present site, at the foot
of Popular street. The building is
easily distinguishable from the city,
as the elevator rises several hundred
feet and emblazoned on it is a sign.
Machinery for the plant was furnished
by Nordyke and Marmon, of Indianap-
oils, Ind, the building being construct
ed by D. w. Griffin, a local contrac-
tor. after plans by Happ and Shelver-
ton, local architects.
In its expansion program, the cor
poration found it necessary in 1917, to
erect second building to be used for
blending self-rising flour and for a
packing department. Mr. Griffin was
also the contractor for this plant.
Growing by leaps and bounds, the
company found itself in 1919 with an
other expansion project and the pres
ent big up-todate mill resulted. w. q.
Williams Co., of Macon, secured the
contract. The machinery for the last
mill was furnished by the Wolk Com
pany, of Chambersburg, Pa.
A policy that has been rigidly adj
hered to by the officials of the COM
pany is that local firms shall furni h
all elements of construction, includ-
ing machinery, wherever possible. The
concrete elevator, however, was built
by the Burrell Engineering and Con-
struction Co, of Chicago, ILL.,, as they
are experts in the line, but all the
material for the structure was pur-
chased locally.
Practically every building supply
firm, lumber mill, mill supply house,
lumber yard and brick manufacturer,
in Macon furnished some of the ma
terials that have gone into the plants.
