Freight RAJ TIES
NOT RESPONSIBLE
President Of Central Rly. Shows
In Wide Margin Between
Producer and Consumer

The vide margin between the
prices received by the producer
ana that paid by the consumer is
discussed by w. A. Winburnl
president of the Central Of Geor-
gia Railway Company, in a state
ment appearing elsewhere in this
issue. MI. Winburn's discussion
is based on a recent editorial IN
the Cochran, Ca, journal, which
points out that farmer who sells
hog at 10 cents per pound on
foot buys back boiled ham at 80
cents per pound. The Cochran edi-
tor asks how much freight was
paid on the ham from Cochran to
Moultrie, from Moultrie to Chica-
go, from Chicago to Macon and
from Macon back to Cochran.
Although this journey is out Of
the ordinary, Mr.. WinbuIl SHOWS
that the eitire freight amounts to
o1ly 1-8 cents per pound, and OF
the difference OF 70 cents pc"
pound between the price received
oy the producer ana that paid oy
the consumer, freight rates were
responsible therefore, for little
more than per cent. Something
else is responsible for the other
81 per cent. Mr. Winburn de-
clales that freight rates are mot
governing factor in bringing about
the spread in price between pro
Queer and consumer, and that
transportation rates are not handi-
Gaping agriculture, but transpor-
tation service is the salvation of
agriculture. The railway execu-
cutive agrees with the Georgia
Editor who concludes that the
trouble lies in an unbusiness-like
system of farming which forces

orderlp manner, adversely affect
ing the farmer on one end and the

FRENCH PEOPLE EATING
MORE HORSE MEAT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-(By
Associated Press) - Consumption
of horse meat as an article Of daily
diet is increasing in France, the
Department of Commerce is in
formed, and the annual slaughter
of horses is estimated at abou,
10000 head. OF this number
about 100000 are of French orr
gin, while the greater portion OF
the balance is imported from
Great Britain.
The advantages claimed for
horse meat are its comparative
cheapness and nutritive qualities.
It's sale is regulated by law to
avoid its substitution for other
meats and it is usually sold in
butcher shops especially adapted
for that purpose.
The Roman Catholic nuns in the
world are said by a statistician 20
number nearly 100000.
