Ralph E. Clark, manager of the AAR's "closed car section," said there was no immediate so lution to the farmers' problems, he said it was the price they had to pay for progress. Combines, he said, have shaved the harvest period down to about 30 days. It used to be three or four months, he said. The longer harvest enabled the railroads to get the grain into storage before it began piling up on the farms. Must Move 1949 Crop Clark explained that the rail roads this season have a "double-barreled" job. In addition to moving the new winter crop of an estimated 763 million bushels, he said the railroads first must move grain held in storage from last year's crop. Much of it is on government loans that expire April 30. Despite addition of 31 million bushels in storage space at pub lic terminal elevators, the total space available is 108 million bushels less than last year, he said. He said grainmen currently are attempting to find emergen cy storage facilities, such as air plane hangars or any place to get the wheat under cover.
