Bundy is alleged to have obtained
sums of money from hundreds of in

could assist them in marketing their

Patent Office Gazette, he obtained the
names and addresses of successful APP

This State Hardest Hit Of Any
in the Union.
COOPERATION IS 1 GREAT HELP
Prompt Loading and Unloading
Has Been to an Advantage.
Car Supply Does Not Keep Pace
With Years Demand.

Washington, July. 2O.-Investiga-
lions by the department of agricul-
lures office Of markets indicate that
shippers and carriers are cooperating
more closely this year to avert car
shortage, in the movement of the
country's 93O,0OO.OO0 bushels. esti-
mated. wheat crop. While it would
take $4,000 cars to move the entire
estimated pr duction. only about SO
Der cent of the crop usually is shipped
out of the country where it is grown.
On that basis, it would require ap-
proximately 3O4. 444 cars to carry this
seasons shipments.
The sentiment is by no means unan-
imous among country elevators. says
the department, that there will be a
car shortage. The belief that there
will be a shortage is most prevalent
among country elevator men in KAN
mas. Expressions from terminal ele-
vators points indicate there will be q
shortage in all states.
It IL the consensus Of opinion that
the increase in the car supply does not
keep pace from year to year with in
creasing need for cars. The depart
ment says that with the indications
this year for a heavy crop of corn
and oats, the movement of those COM
modities will still further complicate
the SITUATION as REGARDS wheat. Inc
opinion prevails in some sections that
any shortage this year will be due
more to lack Of motive power and
terminal facilities than to lack Of cars.
One Of the greatest drawbacks has
been a failure to load and unload
promptly. and too frequent reconsign-
ing and reshipment.
Railroad men in Topeka believe
that there will be sufficient number
of cars in this state to fully handle
the wheat crop. With the vast prepa-
rations of such railroads as the Rock
Island, Union Pacific, Santa Fe and
Missouri Pacific. as well as other roads
just touching the wheat belt. it is
thought that enough cars have been
sidetracked to take care Of the crop.
In addition to the large number of
cars furnished by the railroads, there
are great many more elevators in
Kansas this year than at any previous
time that can accommodate large
quantities of wheat. The crop is now
harvested and few days or weeks
will see whether or not the grain ele-
vators and freight cars will be suff1-
