More Than 500 Box Cars Now

Shipping "Empties" to Storage
Points in Kansas.

Here is good news for the Kansas
farmers and shippers!
1t is given out at the office of c.
w. kouns, general manager of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
in Topeka today that this road will
have $4,000 available cars for the
hauling of Kansas crops this year
with a capacity of more than 35,0OO,-
600 bushels of wheat.
The road is working large force

Will tax all the railroads in the state.
Hundreds of cars will be sent to ship
ping points all over Kansas and stored
until called upon for crop Shipments
by the farmers
With the estimated crop of more
than OO,000,000 bushels in Kansas,
the Santa Fe railroad alone will be
able to handle one-third of this crop
with the cars on hand at this time.
Several hundred additional foreign
cars can be used if their destination
carries them to the crop markets from
their situation in the state.
The other railroads have not made
their capacity figures for crop hand
ling. If all other lines succeed in
making up the other two-thirds of
car shortage cry.
Number of Cars on the Santa Fe.
Here is the way the Santa Fe car
reports solve the shortage situation:
The road has 27,500 available box
cars and $500 furniture cars for tho
hauling of grain. The box cars alone
have an average capacity per car of
$1,000 pounds. The cars range from
10000 to $4,000 capacity. The total
box car capacity is 1,7s7,5OO.OOO
pounds. Wheat averages 56 pounds
to the buShel
This would figure that the Santa
Fe is able to haul 31,919,0OO bushels
of wheat this year.
Add to this the furniture car capa-
city. The average furniture car can
hold $4,000 pounds of grain. This to-
tails $500, 900 bushels.
In all with both box and furniture
cars, the Santa Fe sees a clear track
for more than 35,00O,00O bushels of
wheat and the motive power is prom
ised to haul it without delay
Beginning at once the road is haul
ing every extra empty freight car to
shipping points in the state for stor-
age. In the Topeka shops alone today
more than 500 box cars are being re-
paired for use in the hauling of grain.
The reports from other roads are
being awaited with anxiety by the
shippers. The fiscal year ending
June 30 has held back all improve
ments and radical efforts at track
maintenance on most roads and the
farmers are wondering if this will af-
feet the available car capacity for the
grain hauling season.
