wants some additional compensation

Southern Cars Unfit
For Carrying Grain; Car
Shortage Already Felt

Moorhead. Mimi, Sept. 2.-There is
grave danger that a car shortage will
cause the shutting down of threshing
in the Red River valley, as there has
already been congestion at two points
and the elevators 1t other towns are
rapidly filing UP.
Railroad officials admit that they
were not prepared for the tremendous
flood Of wheat that has been rushed
to market as it came 10 days earlier
than last year. However, they have
been able to relieve the congestion
and to keep the elevators open except
at Comstock and Climax, where
wheat threshing was stopped until
cars could be placed for loading.
/ Another difficulty is that many Of
the cars arc unit for grain loading.
This is especially true Of the cars
from southern lines that are largely
in use in. the northwest since the gov
ernment took over the management
Of the railroads.
On Thursday wheat threshing was
stopped on the farms tributary to
Comstock as the elevator bins were
hlled and no cars were available for
loading. The same trouble arose at
Climax Friday, but the congestion at
both OF these points has been relieved,
temporarily at least.
Clay county will need 100 cars a
day from now on until the threshinR
season Is over.
