Wheat Crop 10 Tax
Marketing System
To Capacity
Big Harvest to Stort
lute This Week in
Southwest
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

ASSUCluJtQ fItSs LIduSLhI NIlLeI.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The new
s6OO,OOO,oOO winter wheat crop.
which begins to go under cutting
knives in a few days, promises to
tax the Nations grain-marketing
machinery to capacity for the next
month or so.
Harvest of the new crop, largest
since 1888 and most valuable since
1887, may begin IN the Southwest
the latter part of this week, some
what earlier than usual. Wheat has
Drowned to its familiar golden hue
through large sections of Texas and
Oklahoma.
Movement and storage of this
huge crop poses problem seldom
encountered by transportation, mer-
chandisng and warehouse interests
because of the defense emergency
demand for railroad cars and rec
ord breaking carry-overs Of wheat
and corn which now crowd elevator
space.
Rail Plans Completed.
Roads have completed plans for
the concentration of $4,000 cars in
the Southwest to move the new
crop and to clear holdover 1910
grain, some of which has been
stored as collateral for Govern
ment loans. Movement of the latter
grain to Gulf and Central States
points has been under way the past
few weeks.
Railmen said that this car con-
centration would be about normal,
but that large percentage of the
rolling stock would be new. OF
the 10000 to 10000 cars to be used
by the AtchiSon, Topeka & Santa
Fe. largest carrier of wheat, 5000
will be new. Other principal roads
which move the crop are the Rock
Island, Missouri Pacific. Frisco and
Missouri-Kansas & Texas.
To meet the emergency roads will
enforce regulations that grain cars
cannot be used for storage. Nor
mally 5000 to 1000 cars are leased
for temporary storage, but this
number is expected to be cut
sharply.
Huge Task Is Faced.
Not since the $4,000 000- -bushel
crop of 1882 has the task been so
great. Then there was carryover
Of 375 100000 bushels. The new crop,
currently estimated above 650000,-
600, will be poured on top of q
carryover of almost 400 900 600.
Grain men estimated the Nation s
total storage capacity at about
1900 100000 bushels. including new
or contemplated space. of which
about 100000, 900 will be available
June l. This figure allows for the
unoccupied space needed for work
ing and handling grain and includes
part of the estimated 10000 900
bushels of new or contemplated
facilities, but does not account for
farm space, which is being eX-
panded. and the 10000, ,OoO-bushel
capacity OF steel bins owned by
the Government and largely filled
with corn.
Many grain men expect farmers
to retain as much wheat as they
can store because Of the prospects
of high loan rate.
