Movement of Grain
Through Texas Port
Breaks All Records

AMARILLO, Texas, Sept l2.-The
movement of grain through the port
of Galveston in August of this year
broke an records according To figures
vi the Dallas News. Approximately
III PSI .226 bushels were cleared for
foreign ports in August The Off
cial figure for July was ll,0t2,O96
bushels. This makes a total Of 2s,-
293, 1862 bushels for the two months
a. compared with 22,259,4l9 bushels
for The entire fiscal year ending June
30. 1920. and only 1924 asa bushels
IN 1919 The shipments for the first
two months Of this fiscal year are
nearly one-third Of the total Of the
record year ending June 30. 1921,
with s6,s22. 1872 bushels.
This IS an impressive record,
said r A Lehman. General Man
lger of Western Lines Of the Santa
Fe Railraw, IN Disgusting this heavy
grain movement through Galveston.
The water front terminals Of this
port have shown wonderful efficiency
1 handling grain. Every thing has
moved smoothly, barring slight en-
hargo early in the season.
"The railroads IN the southwest,
continued Mr.. Lehman, "also deserve
redit for moving an enormous guam
tity of grain since July lst. This has
been done without flourish Of trum-
IT'S. Every one connected with the
railroads has attended strictly 70
duty Though the offering Of grain
has been unusually heavy so early in
he season, there has been no serious
lelay IN the grain movement.
"The Santa Fe Railway" said Mr..
Lehman, has loaded 22,546 cars of
grain on its western Lines alone
since Jaly LIST as against 1854 cars
in the same period last year, approx
ima.ely $4,000, 900 bushels compared
with about 10000. 900 year ago.
Four divisions have shipped the bulk
of this grain.
ut is also interesting to note the
heavy movement of grain from the
plains of northwest Texas" added
Mr. Lehman. "A few years back
these grassy plains give little prom
ise of successful agriculture Since
July LIST the Santa Fe Railway has
moved over 5000 cars of grain of
approximately 10000 bushels out of
this district compared with 3,7S6
cars during the same period last
year This wonderful beginning
promises great future for the
plnins of northwest Texas"

ENORMOUS CORN CROP
IN UNITED STATES

More Than Three Billion
Bushels This Year.

Promise of a corn crop or 3.l52, ,000,-
060 bushels in the United Stat - alone
coupled with recent favorable reports
on world wheat and rice crops sug-
gcsts. SAYS the Trade Record OF The
National CITY Bank OF New York, that
the worlds supply OF bread and meat
will be little below normal despite
the shortage I'm the wheat ;i"lds OF
Russia. A 3,000,000,000 bush'i corn
crop in the United States alone means
probably 4000.O0o.o00 bushels for the
entire world. for the United States
III ually produces three-fourths Of the
worlds corn outturn.
This big corn crop means in turn
an unusually big meat supply espec-
tally of pork, for n large part OF the
corn OF the United States is fed to
swine on the farms where 1t Is grown.
The tremendousness OF our corn
crop--three-fourths of that OF tho
world-accounts, adds the bank $
statement, for the fact that ,~e have
far more swine than any other coun-
try, for swine are the most convenient
process of transforming corn into hus
man food. especially for exportation
ard corn is the most useful food for
swine. except for the production OF
| the bacon hog" which is chiefly fed
ON the smaller grains, wheat. rye
barley, etc, with an admixture OF
dairy products.
At present the corn CROP OF tn
world is normally; United States g.
900 900, 900 bushels. Europe as whole

as a whole 100. 100000, and Africa
about 75,000.000. The corn crop OF
the United States has been stated a;
holding first rank in the value of oui
farm outturn, hay ranking second, cot
ton third, and wheat fourth.
