EXPERT ADVISES DULKJU E. N. Bates, Specialist, Points Out Losses in Sacked Grain. and to the nature of demand which causes wheat to flow westward for shipment by water from Pacific Coast ports. A busy man was using the tel ephone. "I want Triangle double-two, double-two," he said. "Two-two, two-two," repeated the exchange girl, reproachfully. "All right," said the man, pa tiently; "you get me the number San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 24. Portland will be the world's lead ing grain shipping point during 1928. This prediction is made by E. N. Bates, marketing specialist and in vestigator in grain handling for the United States Bureau of Agricul tural Economics. Bates has just completed a seven years' study of grain conditions in the Pacific Northwest, with headquarters in Portlnd. Recently his offices were moved to San Francisco as he is now undertaking a special study of barley and rice in California. Bates estimates that a total of 40,000,000 bushels of grain, princi pally wheat, will be shipped through Portland during the next twelve months, one-third of this amount being bulk and the other sack grain. Most of this grain will be handled by Portland port facilities for shipment to the United King dom, according to Bates. During his seven years in Port land, Bates, as a representative of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics made a comprehensive study of grain conditions on the Pacific Coast. He estimates that grain growers would save more than $11,000,000 annually if bulk handling of grain were adopted throughout the Pacific Coast area. "From investigations made by the United States Department of Ag riculture," said Bates, "as to the extra cost of handling sacked grain at the Portland terminal market together with consideration of data which were obtained by Professor Stirniman of the University of Cal ifornia in his studies of the extra cost of handling grain in sacks at the farm, it would appear that on an average a fair estimate of the loss resulting from handling grain in sacks instead of bulk, including the value of the sack and twine, is about 11.5 cents per bushel for all sacked grain shipped to terminal markets. The grain remaining on the farm or going to local markets where sacks are retained by the farmer, would not bear quite so great a loss. Making an allowance for grain thus handled, it seems safe to assume that 10.5 cents per bushel would be a reasonable es timate for the average loss per bushel on all sacked grain. This would make a gross loss per year on 111,000,000 bushels of $11,655,000. This enormous sum, if expended for building country elevators at ship ping points, would build 466 eleva tors of 50,000 bushel capacity each at the high cost of 50 cents per bu shel capacity, but elevators can be built much cheaper than this." Bates attributes Portland's domi nant position as a grain shipping center to favorable transportation conditions, which permit the land ing of wheat at tidewater at com paratively low rail freight rates; iii uniitrnnnfmnnTiraiTiiij uiniiiiii uiiuuii n i mi tw winwi in jiditji UNIVERSAL FOOD Rich .wholesome milk.
