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.

ten-section, ten-tetacher platoon
school will be organized in the
Shattuck building, a few blocks
from Lincoln high school.
. Public speaking and nursing will
be added to -the Portland curricula.

of $56.35 has been reported by five
groups of Multnomah county wo
