Huron, S. D., Sept. 5.-Every effort
possible is being made by railroad men
ITO prevent a car famine when grain
shipments from South Dakota sets in.
Representatives of roads operating in
the state are making a tour of each d.
vision. inspecting cars preparatory to
putting into service every one avail
able or that a be made so, at a mo-
ment's notice. That all roads will be
taxed to their utmost capacity is al
ready apparent, and the fact that ele-
vators nave been cleared, as nearly as
possible, of their surplus grain and in
many cases enlarged. will materially
aid in caring for grain until shipments
can be made.
There is a disposition or the part of
the farmers not to hold grain longer
than it a be gotten to market and
reasonable prices secured. The vast
amount Of money that will come into
grain crop will enable the farmers to
cancel their obligations n make ad-
ditional investments in farm lands.
During the past year the freight traf-
1ic on all lines within the state has
been enormous and bids fair to con-
tinue indefinitely. This, together with
the fuel shipments into the state, is
pikely to interrupt grain and cattle
shipments, and this is being guarded
against as much as possible by rail-
way officials and every effort possi-
BILE will be made to accommodate ship
pers.
