shortages are generally serious. This
Is very rare occurrence car
shortage in February. as generally
this happens in the fall when crops

local factories are having a hard
time getting enough cars to take
care OF their outbound shipments,
and a few of the farmers who are
still shipping grain are finding this
trouble also. The cause OF the short
age at this season of the year is not
