SAVING MADE IN BULKlNc GRAIN
COMMITTEES Finds Saving Of lis
Cents Bushel in Handling
Without Sacks.

WITHOUT SACKS.
The difference in cost of handling
grain in sacks and in bulk has been
the subject Of great deal of specu-
lation in Whitman county, Washing
ton, during the past year. To arrive at
some fair conception of the cost the
county Farmers Union appointed a
committee to investigate.
We, your committee appointed to
ascertain the relative cost of handling
wheat, bulk and sacked, from the
threshing machine to and on board
ship, beg to report as follows:
We gathered information from vari-
lou sources and find rather wide
range Of figures representing costs,
occasioned by the differences in han
ding facilities and the amount han
died at any given place, so that an
average, or approximate cost cover
ing wide range Of conditions seems
to be the most reliable. The cost of
threshing depends largely upon the
amount of the operation that is as
sumed by the threshing machine man.
Taking 1t as it is done in this coun-
try, where all the labor Of putting the
htraw from the cheat in the field, or
the straw in the stack to the machine
by the machine man, the cost averages
about as follows:
Threshing sacked grain, per bushel
of 6. lbs, 15c per bushel including
sacks
Threshing bulk grain per bushel OF
60 lbs, 9 2-3c per bushel.
Delivery, based on five-mile haul,
