BULK HANDLING IS COMING IN OREGON Study of Grain Harvesting and Shipping Methods Reported In U. S. D. A. Bulletin. "An ultimate shift to bulk hand ling of grain over much of the Pa cific Northwest is desirable and may be expected, but the change should be made cautiously." This is the conclusion reached in a study of "Farm - management Problems in Shifting from Sack to Bulk Handling of Grain In the Pa cific Northwest," and just reported on in a technical bulletin by that name Issued by the United States department of agriculture. The study was made as a cooperative project between the federal depart ment and state experiment stations of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with G. W. Kuhlman, assistant ec onomist In farm management, rep resenting Oregon. Though grain is now shipped in bulk from terminal points in Ore gon and Washington, more than 60 per cent of the crop received at Columbia River and Puget Sound terminals has still arrived in sacks in recent years, the bulletin shows. The study sought by actually visit ing and assembling data on 316 farms to determine the relative economy of bulk and sack handling methods under present conditions. Combining with bulk handling required less labor than with sack handling, and the labor used is less strenuous so that younger or older men of the farm families are used, thus cutting cash expense, the study showed. Hauling grain In bulk is also easier but not cheaper than hauling sacked grain. Four times as much labor is needed to load a 40-ton car with sacked grain as is needed to load bulk grain. Cost of converting sack-harvesting equipment to bulk handling ranged upward from $150, the sur vey showed. Many ingenious means of surmounting local difficulties were found and some of these are reported on in the well-illustrated bulletin. Lack of adequate storage and handling facilities for bulk hand ling at the county shipping points has been the greatest single factor In retarding more general adoption of bulk handling methods on the. farm. Care is needed, the investi gators say, to coordinate the move ment toward bulk handling so that facilities at county shipping points and terminal markets will keep pace with the ever Increasing vol ume of bulk handling from the farms. Grants Pass To fight hard times with home grown vegetables is the aim of 445 Josephine county home makers enrolled in the year-round garden and food preservation pro ject which is being aided by Mrs. Sara H. Wertz, county home dem onstration agent and H. B. Howells, county agricultural agent. University Prepares for 1932 Summer Sessions University of Oregon, Eugene, May 18.
