ored mans car, driven at high rate
of speed and crowding the center OF
the road, scraped tenders with the other
car. Immediately thereafter the emer-
sency brake was applied, locking the
wheels and causing the machine TO

TELLS HOW ELEVATORS
MAY INCREASE INCOMES

By installing feed mills or grain
cleaners, many Minnesota elevators
could increase their incomes and rem
der greater service to their communi-
ties, according to experts of the divi-
sion of farm management and agri-
cultural economics at University
Farm, st. Paul. This recommends
ton is based on an extensive study
of the grain elevator situation in Min
nestota in which figures were obtain
ed on 81 elevators for the business
year of 1929.
Where large volumes of grain are
handled, the problem of providing
sufficient income is not acute, this
study shows, but the decreasing vol
ume of grain marketed and the great
er Investigation of farming in many
communities frequently necessitates
supplementing incomes from sources
other than grain handled. Difference
es exist between districts as shown
by the fact that elevators in southern
Minnesota handle smaller volume
of grain, but receive larger incomes
from sidelines and miscellaneous
sources than those in other parts Of
the state, particularly northwestern
Minnesota.
Differences in average net incomes
between districts are relatively unim-
portant. Forty-five elevators in
southwestern Minnesota received net
incomes averaging $4,255 as compar-
ed to $4,535 for 80 elevators in north
western Minnesota, difference of
less than $500. However, as between
individual elevators within any given
district there is a great variation in
net income, ranging from a loss of
more than $4,000 to a profit of nearly
$4,000.
Differences in farmers elevator in
comes are due mainly to four reasons:
Volume of business, prices paid and
prices received for commodities hand
led, operating expenses, and the
amount and quality of service rend-
cred to the community.
