of which he was granted very salts
factory price. The Farmers Union at
Moro has been disorganized, he said,
and the farmers organized the grain
elevator company, incorporated at
$50, 000 i
A plan was suggested by an efficient.
highly recommended Austrian engineer
in Portland, said Mr.. Race, whereby
the bins are made round instead of
square, thereby making a big saving
IN lumber and conserving space and
adding to the strength of the many
large bins. The plan was submitted
to government men and other engi-
neers in Portland and details wired to
Washington, d. c. If acceptable, the
plan will be adopted by the Moro far
mers. 1t follows the system of the
military plans for grain elevators used
in Austria.
