The Galveston News announces
that the top notch in loading a vessel
with wheat was reached at that port
on Tuesday, when a japanese vessel,
the Maru, was loaded with 283, 1000
bushels of wheat in less than fourteen
hours and carried it to Grecian ports.
The first $4,000 bushels were poured
in the first two hours. E. H. Thorn
ton, traffic manager of the Galveston
Commercial association predicts that
over one hundred million bushels of
wheat will be exported from Calves
ton ports during the year 1921, being
over double the 1920 shipments, the
ocean rates. being the same as eastern
ports, while the railroad haul was
many hundreds of miles shorter,
greatly aiding the railroads in handl-
ing it and at less expense and much
quicker, being little congestion be-
tween home and the Gulf port. Shall
Ellis county get in direct communica-
ton with those Gulf ports? We can
if we try. They will put up the ele-
vators and send thesmoney here, for
the wheat if our people viii help
furnish the transportation facilities
Is it worth trying for this and during
the spring of 1922 for next crop?-
