Wheat Storage Critical
COOP TERMINALS HELP EASE PRESSURE

The wheat storage problem is crit
ical in Montana. Many elevators in
the northern and eastern grain grow
ing areas of the state are ''full up
with little relief in sight as the box
car shortage continues.
Millions of bushels of wheat are
piled on the ground in northeastern
Montana, Alfred Anderson, state ag-
riculture commissioner, reported Sep
TENDER IL, and he referred to points
where piles of grain amounted to hun
dreds of thousands of bushels each.
GTA officials and Farmers Union
leaders in the Northwest have been
calling the severe storage and trans
portation problem to the attention of
government men in Washington. Gov
ernor Bonner has been demanding
help on the problem.
Very recent reports are that under
pressure railroads are
slowly shifting box cars into the wheat
growing areas of the country. Top pri-
ority, however, is given to shipment
of critical war materials with grain

Amvets Ask
Immediate Construction of
YeIIoWtaiI Dam as
Vital to Defense

Stressing the great Importance of
power development for the national
defense and for the national welfare,
the Billings chapter of AMVETS last
week appealed to President Truman
and the Congress for immediate con-
struction of Yellowtail dam.
In emphasizing the potentially valu-
able contribution Southeastern Mon
tana can make to the nations well
fare in war or peace, the AMVETS
pointed out that:
"Yellowtail dam could be an immense
factor in providing power for the de-
velopment, mining, smelling, concen-
trating and in other ways providing
aluminium, chrome, magnesium and
many other metals :" and that the
:" site is located in most favor
able position for transportation, man
ufacturing, and lends itself favor
ably to the dispersion of industry
as well as military strategy"
Noting that ownership of the Vel
lowtail site rests with the Crow In
dian tribe, the AMVETS also ask that
the adequate compensation for the
site be agreed upon by the Bureau of
Bureau of Indian AT
fairs and the Crow people
Copies of the AMVET resolution
were sent to President Truman, the
entire congressional delegations of
Montana and Wyoming, Secretary of
Interior Chapman, Gov. John w.
Bonner, Secretary of Defense Mar
shall and Harold Russell, national

E. B. Danforth, manager of the
Great Falls branch of GTA, says
that in GTA subterminal areas of
Montana including Shelby, Great Falls
and Lewistown, storage and transpor-
tation pressures are not as intense
as elsewhere. Farmers are hauling
their wheat into these terminals
by truck, and the short haul situa-
ton permits use of gondolas on the
railroad. Thus the sub-terminals built
by the farmers own regional grain
coop, FUGTA, are definitely helping
t. prevent paralyzing market plug
ups.
The Importance of farm storage of
grains is emphasized by many observ-
ers.
