The elevators in this corn and oat
section, which include the elevators
in Redwood County, are especially
fortunate in handling a large average
bushelage which reduces the over
head bushel costs. At the same time
they get better utilization of plant
and labor than elevators outside of
the corn belt because the peck move
ment of corn follows the heavy mar
keting of the other grains. The cost
of operating elevators in Southwest

in any other part of the state.

While expressly stating that
"there is no desire to provoke dis

to do more than to hint at the posi-

his stand for the "open shop"

showing that bookings of the United

a day less than the corresponding per-
iod of 1925, while shipments for the
same period had exceeded those of
