Old Laws to
AidFarnners
State Legislature Eight Years
Ago Provided for Licensed
WarehOuses-No Demand
for Federal System.
Omaha May Be Market

Nebraska farmers, who want to
hold their wheat off the market. are
discovering that two state laws
designed to help them do this have
been on the statute books for several
Years, though they have been little.
used. Eight years ago, when the
question Of farm financing was acute,
the legislature enacted a law proyid.
ing for state licensing OF bonded
grain warehouses in which farmers
could store their wheat, receiving
warehouse receipt on which they
could borrow money.
Immediately a number of grain ele-
vators at country shipping points
signed up under the law, but without
finding any demand for their public
warehouse service. Lately, however,
there has been increased interest, and
in the last few weeks the number of
houses under the state law has
almost doubled.
Plan Contract Market.
In addition to this, the Omaha
Grain exchange. according to its
president, S. S. Carlisle, is consider
ing the advisabiity OF making Oma-
ha contract market under the provi-
sions of the Capper- -Tincher act. ut
is thought by some that this would
mako Omaha a bigger market and
materially help to increase receipts
Of grain in Omaha from Nebraska
T.. 4. ILL., 10.
At a time when such a movement
as has recently been launched, that
to Buy / 900 bushels of wheat is
under way, purchasers could thereby
get the grain located in Omaha
rather than in another market, and
do it by purchasing Omaha options
instead of Chicago options. II Oma-
ha is made a contract market. then
such purchasers could take delivery
and own the actual grain IN Omaha
when they did so. There are a num-

Warehouse on Farms. :
II the FARMERS Oh NebidS&d are al
terested in public warehousing of
their grain. all they have to do Is to
make use of the Nebraska law. IL
they want warehouses on their own
farms, with a county officer issuing
warehouse receipt, there is even
law which provides for this. This lat
ter statute was passed in 1921, but
thus far no one has made use of it,
Grant Shumway. state secretary OF
