This year conditions are different.
The canal is free of landslides and
ships are much more abundant. It
is thought by shipping men that, if
the government ships now building

The government is urging a great*
er production of wheat next year
than in anv other year in the history
of the nation. Oregon is asked to
increase her acreage by 250.000 j
The commission assumed that the
northwest farmer could only get his
product to the world market by rail
to the Atlantic seaboard, when the
vast majority of our wheat will be
transported to market by cargo lots
via the Panama canal. Inst year,
tiecause of lack of cargo ships. the
bulk of our wheat crop was trans
ported east bv rail. The result was
the worst freight congestion in the
history of American railways. The
trackage and warehouses of the east
were entirely inadequate to handle
the enormous tonage they were call
ed upon to handle. The orice fixing
commission seems to have thought
this same freight congestion must
reoccur this year and penalized the
northwestern farmer accordingly.
Also, the canal was unable much of
last year tiecause of land slides.
