Yep, the number of farms in
America is shrinking (by a quarter
million in the last five years!).
What's happened to the missing
farms? The land has been taken
in by other farms, increasing the

Does this growth mean farm
ing's no longer a family enter

families own farms today than
ever-only with labor-saving
equipment they can handle more
land, more work.
That's as it should be. The family

EASY TO REINSTATE VALUABLE G. l. INSURANCE
During the month of September 3,347 veterans in the Pacific
Northwest reinstated more than % million dollars in lapsed Ma
tonal Service Life Insurance, the Veterans Administration mas
revealed.
Early this year the VA started a campaign to acqualnt veter-
ans with the benefits to be derived from retaining their lapsed
G. l. insurance, and during that time a total OF 43,3H veterans
have reinstated NSLI policies amounting to nearly 300 million
dollars.
Veterans are reminded that the easy reinstatement privilege
will remain in effect until December 81, 1947. Payment OF two
months premiums and a statement by the veteran that he is
in as good health as when the policy lapsed is all that is re-
quired in most cases to reinstate any G. l. term insurance.
Remember that date-December 81, 1947 is the deadline for
easy reinstatement.

ing and unloading difficulties in terminal
grain markets served by the railway.
Combining of grain in the railways
territory contributed to the blocking of
many elevators before the harvest was in
full swing. On September 1 there were
1888 blocked elevators along Great North
ern. The number of blocked elevators
had dropped to 11o by October 1, and a
substantial reduction in that figure is
anticipated by November 1 because of
the improved boxcar supply and the now
diminishing volume of grain moving from
farms and ranches.
Great Northern's biggest customer is
getting record-making railway service for
his 1947 grain crop through unbeatable
teamwork. The Car Service Division of
the Association of American Railroads is
fulfilling its pledge to provide adequate
equipment; shippers and receivers of
grain are giving equally superb coopera-
ton in quick loading and unloading of
cars; and, Great Northern's 'tknow how
is completing the job.

The farmer is Great Northern's biggest
customer. The railway is, to a very large
extent, geared to the transportation re-
quirements of the man on the land.
Those requirements appeared insur-
mountable to many experts just before
the harvesting of the tremendous and
exceedingly vital 1947 grain crop in the
Northwest and Pacific Northwest.
Grain producers heard that, because of
the boxcar shortage, a breakdown of rail-
way transportation was inevitable. that
a pitiful1y small amount of their so
acutely-needed grain would be marketed
this Fall.
But, what actually happened? A look
at the record shows that Great Northern,
one O the nations principal grain-hauling
railways, loaded and moved a total of
20, 542 carloads of wheat, barley, oats,
rye, corn and flax in the month of
September.
Moreover, September's loading
and movement of grain on Great
Northern was the heaviest for that
month on the railway in the 19-year
period beginning in 1929!
And, that record movement was
accomplished with a minimum of switch
