Kansas City. July l6-(AP)-With
thousands Of bushels Of the $3.50, ,OOO.-
600 Kansas wheat crop piled in the
open because of lack of transporta-
ton facilities, railroads are rushing
, trains Of empty box cars into the
grain belt in an effort to prevent
damage from sun and rain.
Harvesting Of the bumper crop has
exhausted storage facilities and, rs
the piles of wheat increased along the
railroad right Of ways. farmers and
bankers found the situation acute.
Demands for cars deluged railroad Of
fees. already taxed by movement OF
grain from other states.
Attention was fOcu sed on the sNua-
tion yesterday when farmers at Sub
lette. in southwestern Kansas, report
cd more than 2OO,OOt bushels OF
wheat piled along the tracks. Rain,
, they said, would cause the grain ia
heat when placed in an elevator
necessitating constant handling until
II dried.
Governor Paulen said yesterday
that, although Kansas farmers had =
bumper wheat crop. large portion OF
the money received probably would bs
used in liquidation of ObligatiOns in
Cured in less prosperous years. This
he said, accounted in way for thu
haste to market the crop while prices
were firm.
