Modern Georgia Mill Produces
Yearly $4,000, 900 Worth of Flour

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 de-
clared to be the highest grade plain
flour that can be made, being m1lled
only from selected wheat and from
only the best part of the wheat. Low
er grades are, OF course, made at the
same time Birdsey's Best is milled.
In the self-rising and packing depart
ment there are five 2,000-pound elix-
ing machines and, for packing flour
into sacks, there are thirteen packers
and three feed packers
Buy Local Products.
The Modern Mills corporation was
organized and business started in 1918.
In 1915 the first mill was built on the
present site at the foot of Poplar
street The building is easily distin-
guishable from the city, as the eleva-
tor rises several hundred feet and en-
b1azoned on it is a sign. Machinery
for the plant was furnished by Nor
dyke and Marmon, of Indianapolis,
Ind, the building being constructed by
D. w. Griffin, local contractor, after
plans by Happ and Shelverton, local
architects.
In its expansion program the cor
poration found it necessary in 1917
to erect a 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-to-date mill resulted w.
Z. Williams Co., of Macon, secured
the contract The machinery for the
last mill was furnished by the Wolf
Company, of Chambersburg, Pa.
A policy that has been rigidly adj
hered to by the officials of the COM
pany is that local firms shall furnish
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 ma
terial for the structure was purchased
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.

Farmer, Stung BY Bee,
Dies in Ten Minutes
Throat Swells So Fast He Can Hard
ly Explain to Wife.

PINE BROOK, N. J-Harry Col
lerd, a farmer, was working in the
wood lot on his place when he was
stung on the right temple by honey
bee. He stumbled across to the farm
house in fainting condition and col
lapsed in the kitchen after telling his
wife what had happened. Physicians
were summoned Before they could
reach the farm-it was probably ten
minutes after he had been stung-
Collerd was dead.
Mrs. Collerd says when her husband
half fell into the kitchen he was hold
ing one hand to his throat with the
other pressed to his right temple.
He dropped into a chair, she said,
"and as l ran across to his side asking
him what was the matter he pointed
to his right temple, which was badly
swollen. He told me he had been
stung by bee. He could hardly talk
because his throat was swelling rapid
ly. | had trouble in understanding
what he said"
Drs. c. E. Birdsall and Alexander
Dallas said Collerd's death had been
caused by the bee sting in the temple.
Both physicians are authority for the
statement that bee sting in the tenn
pie or on either knee results fatally,
nine times out of ten.

Corporation, Organized in 1913, Has
Grown So 1t Now Pays Freight
Charges of $4,000 Monthly and
Spends $500 a Day for Sacks.

NN@O-~S'
MACON. Ga.-Unknown to many
of its oldest citizens, Macon has an
industry that manufactures annually
$3,000,000 in wheat products and pays
an average of $4,000 a month in
freight charges. 1t is the Modern Flour
Mills. J. S. Birdsey is president Of the
corporation, A. S. Birdsey is vice pres
ident, and Ralph T. Birdsey is secre-
tary and treasurer.
The two grinding units of the mill
as it stands today give capacity OF
1000 barrels of flour and thirty tons
of feed daily. Officials of the company
estimate that 5000 worth of cotton
sacks for packing flour 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 capac-
ity of the plant is 10000 bushels. This
is a little over a months supply, as
nearly 100000 bushels of wheat are
ground in a month. The Modern Flour
Mills make it point to buy all the
Georgia wheat obtainab1e, and as a
result the farmers Of the state last
year pocketed in cash the proceeds
from $4,000 bushels.
Products Marketed Close.
Much more Georgia wheat would
be bought if it were obtainable, "
Ralph Birdsey said yesterday, THE
quantity we get is nothing like as
much as we would be glad to buy"
The mill is run by power furnished
by the Central Georgia Power Co,
from it dam at Jackson, Ga. The pow
er comes to the mill in 5000 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.

F AIMED Huntin' Hawg
Is Drowned in Flood
Pointed Out Game Birds Like Train

POINTED Out tame BlrdS Like a 4ra1l-

FROGMORE, La.-Tucker Glib
sons hunting hog, the most famous
400 pounds of swine in the world, the
porker that could outpoint any bird
dog when it came to hunting quail,
persisted in the flood that swept over
Concordia parish when the Farriday
dixie gave way.
Gibson's porker broke into, print
some time ago when it became known
that it could point out the game birds
lust like a blooded bird dog. Gibson,
a well known planter and sportsman,
took the hog with him on all his hunt
ing expeditions Nose straight out, tail
on line with the backbone and one
forepaw lifted, the hog was an inval>
liable asset.
1t was just a back bayou razor
back that Gibson found running in
the swamps with its moher and seven
little brothers and sisters. He drove
them all to his farm; but life in his
swine city killed the mother and all
but one of her offsprings. Gibson no
ticed that it wasn't just an ordinary
hog: he could hear the grunt when
ever 4 flock of ducks flew over the
farm yard. He trained it then like any
young hunting dog and soon develop
ed the prize hunting "hawg."

Say Radio Caused
The Floods in Texas
Blame Electrical Waves for Unusual
Number of Overlooking Rivers.

Radio waves broadcasted in large
numbers over the state of Texas may
have caused the unusual number of
small floods in the last few months,
according to the opinion of many
farmers whose lands have been mum
dated. Never before have the floods
been so frequent and SO severe, old
timers relate.
About 100000 acres of bottom
land, upon which cotton, corn and 9TH
er crops are grown, has been covered
with water. There is still time to plant
late crops if the water recedes quickly
and floods cease, planters say
In southern Texas the Colorado
river broke all records when it attain
ed width of 80 miles and covered
small communities. Floods were I'M
known in many parts of the country
which have been covered to overflow
ing rivers.

A RAISE IN PARCEL
POST RATES PROBABLE
Increase Necessary to Wipe Out An
nual Deficit Is Announcement.

An increase in parcel post rates may
be necessary to wipe out the 100000
900 annual deficit of the postoffice de
partment, according to an announce
ment by Postmaster General Work to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
outlining the growth of the system.
No plans have been made to increase
the rates and no suggestions have been
made to meet the postal deficit, he
further states. The parcel post matter
has increased to 90 per cent of the
weight of the entire mails now being
handled, Mr. Work says.
