Congestion Of Grain Houses
Proves Necessity Of State
Warehouse Facilities.

The lesson drawn from the confer.
ence Of elevator agents, bankers and
grain men held In Fargo Oct. l.. was
the crying need Of terminal elevators
within the stats-one Of the demands
of the Republican state platform.
This conference was called to de-
wise means of avertins a financial
stringency, duo to the fact that the
elevators + loaded with grain with
no immediate prospect OF relief.
This has resulted In their refusal to
buy any o grain until conditions
can be improved, and consequently the
grain raisers Of North Dakota will
lose thousands Of dollars in added
interest and storage charges by having
the market places closed TO them
after they have produced the greatest
wheat crop vel grown in the North
west.
Terminal Congestion Cause.
Frank Z. Carey Of the u. 8. Grain
Corporation asserted that the conges-
ton vas entirely traceabla to the
terminal facilities Of the grain ship
ping centers being taxed to the limit
to handle che crop Of the Southern
states, which reached the terminals
ahead Of the Northwest crop.
Winter wheat from Kansas and Ne
braska and spring wheat from Iowa
and South Dakota reached the market
several weeks before the North Dakota
crop was ready, and when the farmers
Of this state came along with the lara-
est crop .svsr raised they found the
facilities for handling the grain were
limited, and within q very few days
after threshing became general every
grain house u eastern North Dakota
was loaded to the root
The demand for carr wal answered
With the statement that more cars
were available this year than ever
before, but that the trouble was due
to the congestion at the terminate.
E1nbargoss had been placed against
many Of the terminal oenters be{oro
tie North Dakota crop was started Is
market. The North Dakota farmers
found themselves again holding the
sack-bsing obliged to pay several
cents per bushel additional storage on
their grain, As well a. to continue to
pay interest on obligations that could
have been met had they been able to
market their crop.
