AMBITION IS TO MAKE NEW PLAN THIS YEAR BY DIS CARDING SACKS. S Spokane, Wo., May 7, 1916. Abont 800 farmers of tbe Inland Empire as sembled in tbe Spokane Chamber ot Commeroe Assembly rooms yesterday, and with only Ave opposing votes, de cided to handle tbeir grain in bnlk in stead of saokB. Committee Keoommendallona on Wheat Handling: Wb believe that a socoeesfnl system of handling grain in bulk depends up on tbe farmer nioviding bis own stor age on tbe farm, either by tins, gran aries or farm elevators, where grain may be held until sold. It baa been fully demonstrated that the present flat waieboosei can be ano oessfully adapted, at comparatively small expense, to handling grain in tnlk. Foil aasnrBooe has teen given iiy tbe railway offlaiols and terminal warehouses that tbey will meet farm ers and interior warehousemen in ar ranging for the full handling of grain in bulk. In answer to tbe argument that grain must be sacked tor exportation from tbe Pacitlo coast, authentic ra nnrts show that lesB than 35 per ctnt of tbe grain from the Mnrthwest is ex- I . i . t J . i. n Cn I 1 periea annuaiiy, buu tua ibubwi ' nal has removed tbe neoessity of sack ing tbe greater part ot the small per centage ot tbe crop that la exported. The grain piinea in tbe world's mar ket are quoted on a bulk basis, there fore there will be no difference in tbe prioe of bnlk grain or sacked grain when tbe liolk system prevails tbrongh out this territory.- Siuue it is practically the unanimous opinion of the S00 grain growers at this oonveulion that a obaoge te made in tbe Inland Empire from saoked grain to bnlk giain, we therefore oige tbe necessity of immediate aotion by tbe individual farmer and the interior warehouse companies to provide the neoessary equipment for haudiing the 1916 crop lb bnlk. United notion on tbe part of the farmers la essential to tbe iuooegs of bnlk handling of grain.
