Farmers Elevators.

We believe McCulloch was right
in saying that had the farmers
built II years ago they each and
every one would have had 5 to 6
thousand dollars more, but that
now the margin was not excess
sive. Rightly run such an ele-
vator will be of benefit to every
body, wrongly run, a thorn in
the flesh. IF the farmers go into
it thinking there is a 4 to 6 cents
margin they will get rude jar
as we can produce aAidavits from
shareholders in Blabon elevator,
that they make money drawing
to Cooperstown. 1t costs to
build run a first-class up to date
house. A house capable of hand
ling 20, 900 bu. will cost $4,000 to
$4,000. Then the expenses will
run up about as follows:
Buyer and helper. ........... 1000 90
Gasoline, oil, repairs. ....... $50 90
Insurance and interest on
money used ............... 1000 90
Market reports, kilograms,
bank charges cashing tick
etc. etc. $50 90
Stationery, leaks, etc. 200 90
$500 90
Handling 100, OOOwould require
over 2 cents to pay expenses.
200, 900 would only leave $1,000 to
pay 500 interest on cost of house
and 500 profits. It is an actual
fact that the per cent of profit in
handling grain is the smallest of
any business carried on today.
Big profits only come from hand
ling immense quantities, mixing
grades, drying wet grain and a
close watch of the market. The
fact that cash wheat sometimes
sells at premiums no argument
to prove big margins. The only
safe way to buy grain is to sell
same by wire and take quoted
prices. Where will the farmers
elevator be if they buy 100000 on
declining market and wait for
cars to ship it in for a cash
premium? There are two sides
% every question and a careful
consideration of both sides will
save many mistakes.
