era will meet up with a shortage of
grain sacks next year unless they pro
vide for bulk Btoraga Sack prices are
shooting skyward, and the price is
distinctly uncertain. If Hacks are
available at all It will he only at pro

the prices were right, the additional
cost and work of sack handling is
enough to Induce the thinking farmer
to adopt the bulk plan. Besides this,
the sacked grain will be shipped from
Interior points in the dirt, while bulk
grain will be cleaned, brought to
grade and shipped to the terminal.
