road transportation was handling the
crop in a manner almost without prec

said, II have had an informal inveStlga :
ton made in the West Of the adequacy
of the machinery for handling the mar
keting of the crop. | am glad to be able
10 say that the reports are most op-
tinistic and that. in fact. the railroad
transportation seems to be adequate to
the task, and practically no substantial
car shortages are reported.
ION the contrary. railroad efficiency
in moving the crop is almost without
precedt MT. Adequate financial sup
port is being provided all along the
line. \ remarkably satisfactory ex-
port demand is being taken care of by
fun and adequate supply of ocean
tonnage to move the surplus to ex-
port markets with all possible

that this years great wheat crop.
