Elevator System Reaches Development
Unknown Elsewhere.
The farmers of the United States to
day are sowing corn fields aggregatint
over eighty million acres-ten million
more than ten years ago, and harvest
ing two billion bushels. and oveH II
q season. Their wheat fields cover
forty million acres-four million more
than Ia 1S90--and even the oat ares
is nearly thirty million acres, an In
crease OF 90 per cent. 1t may be Inn
possible to sell sach a crop immediate
ly except at loss Therefore the i'm
perative necessity for storage facit
ties has resulted In the development
OF the elevator system In America or
scale unknown elsewhere in the
world.
On Dakota, Kansas or Nebrasks
farm where the harvest field may
cover 500 or 1000 acres only small
portion of the yield Is threshed ant
placed IN the barn bins. The bulk II
carried to what are termed railroad Ell
| evators located in. convenient towns
| These vary In capacity from 10000 U
| zoe. 900 bushels. according to their 10
kcstion in the producing district. AM

The benefits thar win undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent incor-
poration Of the international Harvester
Company which took over the business
OF the Eve leading harvester manufac-
turers have probably not been consid-
cred by large portion Of the farming
community.
The economical necessity of a consol-
idation of the interests Of manufacture
ers and those of their farmer custom
ers must be apparent. to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and Increasing cost Of
material manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
factVrers and their several selling agents
has made the business improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas-
ing Of the prices of machines or the re-
duction of the cost Of manufacture and
sales. The1after could only be accom-
plisRd BY concentrating the business
in one company.
i AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering Of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and tan
gible assets. There is no stock offered
to the public, It having all been sub
scribed and paid for by the manufac.
turers and their associates.
The management of the international
Harvester Company is in the hands OF
wen known, experienced men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus ii
Mccormick; Chairman Executive Com
mittee, Charles Deering; Chairman Fl
nance Committee, George w. Perkins
vice-P Presidents, Harold f. Mccormick
James Deering, VIM. II. Jones and JohI

greater regret than the death Of his
victim. The officers are working dill
