Minneapolis. Aug. 2t.-While rail-
road officials are confident that they
win be able to handle the northwest
ern grain crop in excellent shape this
year they are considerably worked up
over the local situation. Efforts have
been made to have the farmers Of
western Minnesota and North Dakota
lay in their winters coal supply as
early as possible. The warnings, how
ever. have fallen on idle ears, and
railroad officials expect the annual
eleventh kcur scramble.
GAS long as they have the sun shin
ing on their neciks, the farmers do MOI
think about the cold weather" said an
official today. They have already
forgotten the frozen toes they expert
enced a couple of winters ago"
Railroad officials say that probably
NOT more than $4,000 tons Of coal ar,
now stored in North Dakota, which Il
less than 20 per cent Of the norma
consumption. The dealers have theil
bins stocked and they cannot replenisl
them until the farmers have haulet
