Grain Movement By
Barge and Truck
Reaches New Peak
August marked a record-breaking
movement of grain via river
iiarges and trueks into Portland,
according lo word from the state
department of agriculture.
It almost appeared, recounts C.
V. Wright, chief of the depart
ment's division of grain inspec
tion, as though Portland eleva
tors, mills and docks were in the
midst of the grain fields as
streams of trucks lined up
throughout the day awaiting
turns at unloading and as river
iiarges almost ennstantly dis
charged their yellow gold at
specially equipped elevators or
waited their turns at the unload
ing berths.
By these two modes of hauling
(and does not touch at all upon
the rail movement); 1,902,022
bushels of grain were shipped in
to Portland last month. Forty
three barges discharged 811,578
bushels of wheat and 1,180 trucks
hauled in' 576,759 bushels of
wheat. Slightly more than 150
trucklots.of oats and barley were
inspected. Truck movement of
barley was under last year; be
cause of better quality for malt
ing purposes, more barley was
loaded by rail for direct shipment.
Shipping grains by barges Is of
fairily recent origin on the Co
lumbia river. At the outset, small
wooden barges were used but in
recent years specially designed
steel barges have been installed.
These have capacity ranging
froml7,000 to 26,500 bushles or
equivalent to from 8 to 13 aver
age cars of grain. The barge ship
ments originate at the ports of
The Dalles, Arlington, and Uma
tilla in Oregon and Port Kelly,
Washington.

nothing new, but in the last two
years commercial truck lines
have entered the field in a big
way. Nov large trucks and
trailers, with a capacity as great
as C80 bushels for the combined
rig, make regular "grain" runs
into Portland from central and
eastern Oregon and from as far
east as Twin Falls, Idaho. The
commercial truck with trailer has
an overall measurement of 50
feet from bumper to bumper, and
will haul between nine and ten
times as much grain as the aver
age privately owned truck.
