grain, but this season the crop will
be at least $4,000 and the new build

There are two principal reasons
why the warehouse space is much
more in demand this year than ever
before: First, because of the extra
yield of grain, and second, because the
millers and shippers are buying only
in moderate quantities at the present
time.
