The two railroad boys of W. D. Skin

ger department. A third volunteer is

BULK HANDLING URGED
FARMERS MUST MEET SITUATION,
SATS O. A. C. PROFESSOR.
Second Aanual Coaventloa of North
west Gralngrowers to be Held at
Corvallta Jasmary 3-5.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallls, Dec 15. (Special.) Bulk
grain handling will be one of the big
Issues of the second annual Northwest
grain convention to be held In Corvallls
January 3-5. According to George R.
Hyslop, of the college farm crops de
partment, the shipment of grain in
bulk is the qnly . passible solution for
Northwestern farmers and they should
begin at once to get equipment for next
year's' crop. The 'storage on the farm
Is a comparatively easy matter, he
says, but storage at shipping points in
the Country is rather a difficult sit
uation to handle.' -
"At the best, the building of grain
elevators takes a long time, slnos they
must be of reinforced concrete or of
wood,, cribbed, he explains. .
"Both .methods of building are very
slow and with the uncertainty of ship
ping and securing of materials, build
ers should begin at once so that ele
vators may be complete by the first of
July. To date the plans for Eastern
Oregon sections have been worked out
quite extensively, but the Willamette
Valley and other western portions of
the wheat growing areas of the state
have not been very active."
Number 1 grain sacks have gone up
tremendously In price so as to render
their use prohibitive, especially since
the Eastern markets handle no bulk
shipments. Western farmers shipping
in sacks realize no return from the
sacks if shipping East and many larga
elevatorssrequlre that the grain be re
cleaned en route.
Although the adoption of the bulk
method will necessitate new equipment
at considerable expense and labor, the
situation. Professor Hyslop says, must
be met. He predicts that unless farm
ers of Oregon adopt the bulk handling,
their 1918 grain crops will be worth
little or nothing to them.
Prominent grain men of Portland and
of the country districts will speak to
the grain men at. the coming conven
tion. Marketing problems will be fea
tured at the sessions and other prob
lems related to grain production will
be considered.
Stimulated by the war demands for
beans as food, the increase .In bean
acreage In Oregon Is estimated at 1000
per cent by the college farm crops
office. A bean convention will be held
during the farmers' week at O. A. C,
when old and new growers will discuss
the crop and Its possibilities.
