nomics at University Farm, st.
Paul. This recommendation is
based on an extensive study of the
grain elevator situation in Mime
sofa in which figures were obtain
ed on "a elevators for the business
year of 1928.
Where large volumes of grain
are handled, the problem of pro-
viding sufficient income is not
acute, this study shows, but the de-
creasing volume of grain market
ed and the greater diversification
of farming in many communities
frequently necessitates supplement-
ing incomes from sources other
than grain handled. Differences
exist between districts as shown
by the fact that elevators in south
ern Minnesota handle a smaller
volume Of grain, but receive larger
incomes from sidelines and miscel-
laneous sources than those in 9TH
er parts of the state, particularly
northwestern Minnesota.
Differences in average net in
comes between districts are relat-
lively unimportant. Forty-five ele-
vators in southwestern Minnesota
received net incomes averaging
$4,255 as compared to $4,535 for 81
elevators in northwestern Mime
sofa, difference of less than $500.
However, as between individual
elevators within any given district
there is a great variation in net in
come ranging from a loss of more
than $4,000 to- a profit of nearly
$4,000.
Differences in farmers elevator
incomes are due mainly to four
reasons: Volume of business, prices.
paid and operating expenses, and
the amount and quality of service.
rendered to the community.
