How will you handle your grain this year! Bulk grain is here I
Southern Idaho built approximately 50 Elevators. Eastern Washington
and Oregon about 80 last year; it is authoritatively stated that lOO.Eleva
tors will be built in the Columbia River Basin this year.
We are now planning and building Elevators in Eastern Washington
and Oregon. Portland plans new million bushel Elevators I
Astoria will double capacity ot elevator, oeaiue recently compiewiu
million bushel elevators at docks. Spokane farmers' meeting of last year
almost unanimously voted for bulk grain. Oregon Agricultural College
.. ... . , , l,1. ....... c.t. LUata, o aMul nf antne
meeting inaorses duik grain systeui. i-vcrjr uauuiuoj v
farmers meeting to adopt bulk grain handling. At Pendleton meeting N.
B. Atkinson of Wasco county, Oregon, told of farmers building elevators
and paying for them with sack money the first year.
BULK GRAIN IS HERE
MIKE MONET III 191?
Sacks are out of date. Handling
in bulk saves 3c to Sc per bushel.
And this saving is made above the
cost of installing granaries (as
shown above.) Bulk handling in
sures getting ALL the profit, and
reduces the labor very materially.
