There is a constantly growing movement toward the shipping of grain In bulk, rather than sacks and the move originated with the grow ers. In attendance at the Northwest Grain Conference, which convened at Corvallis only this month, were re presented the substantial grain pro ducers of Oregon, Washington, and part of Idaho, some buyers, some millets, exporters and the railroads. It was a unique body in that all the different interests in the pro ducing and marketing of grain met in common council and each gave and discussed the subject from his viewpoint. ' The producers asserted that it was an imposition to expecct them to levy and donate a suit of clothes (sack) with each two bushels of grain mar keted. . Especially was this true when it was found that the producer was charged 35 cents per ton extra for undressing this wheat, so that it could be unloaded into elevators at Eastern terminals. In other words wheat for Eastern market is actually worth some two cents per bushel more when loose in the car than where sacked, and at some terminals they would not accept sacked grain at all.. They are not fixed to handle it and did not wish to be bothered with it. The buyers stated that they would except grain either in bulk or sack. They did want clean product. Where elevators are used, grain is reclean ed before being elevated and a better price is paid for such. Under the sack system, the man with the clean est grain really helps to pay for the trash in poor lots, for prices are quoted covering a per cent of dock age for inert matter. The millers object to ' smut and fear that in general bulking, it will be hard for them to classify the wheat. It was proven however that wheat could be washed and dried without damage, though smutty. The process to be carried out at the terminal elevators. ' The millers use the best that they can buy for flour. They already hold their supplies in elevators, using the sacks that have been given with the wheat, to handle grist and mill feeds The remaining half being sold for cash to producers.. One firm ac- 'kffibjwledged they sold $50,000 worth 'of; second hand sacks above their own needs last year. The exporters were afraid that the wheat would heat it loaded in ships in bulk although bulking had not been tried from Portland for about 28 years. As wheat is now being successfully shipped from Argentine and New Zealand to Liverpool in bulk, their fears seemed poorly founded. The railroads are willing and pledge they will be ready to receive grain anyway the producers wish to ship it. They assert they are in better shape to handle grain in bulk than the western terminals are to re ceive it. The Union Pacific System has purchased 300,000 new grain doors at a cost of $81,000. They claim it takes an average of three hours to prepare a car and bulk load It with grain and seven hours to sack load it. And while they can use a greater class of cars for sack wheat, bulking is speedier both at the re ceiving station and terminal. Speaking of terminals, four years ago a delegation of growers asked Portland to provide public elevators for grain. They promised to think about It. Seattle was asked at the samfe time and responded with a $500,000 elevator, which is being enlarged and smutter washers and driers provided. Portland Is losing. Mr. Hegardt, Engineer of the PortlandMCommis sion of public docks says "Bulk handling of grain is coming." "Portland to retain her place as a terminal must get ready for it." "No time to lose," says Drake C. O' Reilly, one of the most, active com missioners of the Port of Portland. "I agree with the others who have said that Portland must act or be witness to the humiliating spectacle of Columbia Basin grain being ex ported from Puget Sound, where al ready facilities have been built." Mr. Emery Olmstead, banker, says, "Either the' people of Portland will provide the facilities or the business will go to Seattle or Tacoma." "It will make a difference measurable in the terms of millions of dollars of business annually, wheather we or Puget Sound export the grain." Why then hold to a system aband oned long since by 90 per cent of the grain growing world. A system that taxes the energies of ourselves and our employes to the limit, when gravity or gasoline can do the work for better, quicker and more econo mically. Then in the words of our poet, let us come forth and build an elevator at Hepner. Now let the tillers of the soil, Who will not be a traitor, Just please come forward with the dough, And build an elevator.
