Do NOT AGREE ON
STORAGE OF WHEAT
Federal Farm Board and Union
Terminal Officials Give Con-
trary Advice to Farmer

Minneapolis, Aug. 22.-(P The
Federal Farm Board and the Farmers
Union Terminal association, II of
its coopsratives, today disagreed on
farm storage Of grain.
The farm board, in a statement
prepared by E. j. Bell, Jr., of its
staff. advised against farm storage
except in emergencies. The Farmers
Union Terminal association today
urged farm storage of grain if the
producer desires to hold it.
Loans or advances of 10 per cent
Of the net value of the grain at any
place where it is properly stored will
be made to farmers affiliated with
the Farmers Union Terminal ~associa-
ton, N. w. Thatcher, general man
ager, announced.
The loans will be available whether
the grain is stored on farms, in North
Dakota and Montana, in the country
elevator. in transit, or in terminal ele-
vators. Farm storage loans are avail
able only to farmers of Montana and
North Dakota because farm storage
certificates car be issued only in those
states.
Farm Storage Cheap
Storage on farms presents the
cheapest method by which a farmer
may hold his grain in the hope that
prices will be higher when he desires
to SELF, Mr.. Thatcher said today.
The insurance. storage and carry.
ing costs arc the cheapest Of any
method Of storage. The storage o.
grain on farms prevents that grair
from showing up in visible supply
figures and in further depressing
prices.
Generally, the farmer who stores
wheat at the farm anticipates a rise
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-08-22

in prices. the farm board statement
said.
Very often they will hold their
wheat while the price is rising and
then sell at the bottom for fear prices
will drop. If grain is stored over
winter on the farms, hauling usual
ly conflicts with spring work. For
these reasons, farm storage Is con-
sidered as q temporary proposition Ia
be used in cases of emergency"
But, said the Farmers Union Term
inal association:
Without advising the farmer to
hold his wheat for higher prices, or
to sell it at the present or any other
time, If he desires to hold it, the
farm storage method is the cheapest
and most to his advantage"
Public Storage Safer
While the Farm Board declared:
Grain stored in public elevators is
safer from theft and spelling than
when held in farm bins. Also grain
at the shipping point is in a position
from which it can be moved to market
at any time regardless of weather"
A method of preventing congestion
at terminal markets is to increase the
capacity of country plants, the state
ment said.
Many local elevator associations
are doing this at the present time.
Whereas, we used to have $1,000, 90
600, and 5000 bushel elevators at
country shipping points. we now have
houses as large as $4,000 or 100000
bushels capacity. 1t has been esti-
mated that the present capacity of
country mills and elevators in the
spring wheat area would hold q per
cent of all the wheat marketed from
the large crop of 1923, even after
allowances have been made for work.
ing space"
MI. Thatcher said:
1T does not make a particle Of
difference where the grain Is, Just
so it is properly cared for or stored.
The locals of 10 per cent OF net value
arc available whether the grain is on
the farm. in the elevator, in transit
or in terminal warehouses"
