and to the nature of demand which
causes wheat to flow westward for
shipment by water from Pacific
Coast ports.

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;
