Co-Op Plans
New Building
LAKEVIEW, Ore Members
of the Lake County Cooperative
. last week gave the green light to
construction ol a grain elevator
and machinery sales room near
the present buildings. Vice
Chairman Elmo Angele, in the
absence of Chairman J. C. Clark,
presided at the meeting, which
drew a large and enthusiastic
attendance.
The elevator is to be located
adjacent to the main warehouse,
and construction will get under
way as soon as weather condi
tions permit and. building ma
terials are available. While
there may be some changes
made between now and start of
the project present plans call for
an elevator with a capacity of
183,000 bushels. The elevator
will be equipped with automatic
scales, and scalper to take rough
age out of the grain while being
: elevated to the bins.
At the same time approval was
given for the construction of a
machinery sales room across
from the main warehouse. The
building will be modern in every
respect and it is the intention
' of the co-operative to place a
special man in cnarge to provide
up-to-tne-mmuie service,
v Farmers Present
' A group of Modoc county
farmers were present to outline
a plan for consolidation with the
Lake County Cooperative. It is
the hope and desire of the farm
ers south of the Oregon line to
form a co-op that might tie in
with the local cooperative. They
- presented the proposition that
xne base county orgauiAauuu
buv out Rav Henderson's setup
In Alturas, which would provide
a modern feed mill and other
: machinery, and that farmers in
Modoc county purchase common
atock in the Lake County Co
: operative grain elevator. The
money from the memberships
; would then be used to purchase
the buildings and equipment at
Alturas.
It was suggested that the Cali
: fornia btoud continue their or
ganization and present, their
. plan when completed, and action
would then be taken at a special
' membership meeting of the i.ane
county cooperative.

Car Shortage Still Major
Factor In Potato Markets
Car shortage continues to be
the major factor affecting the
potato movement and potato
markets. Total shipments for
the past week amounted to only
3892 cars 164 cars below the
previous week and a dally
average of only 649 cars. This
total for Uie week Is consider
ably below shipments for the
same period last year.
Shippers report light offer
ings and practically no haul
ings due to bad weather and the
car shortage, with very llttlo
change on f.o.b. markets. Demand-in
general has been slow
but markets have held firm to
slightly stronger, apparently
duo to the shortage of cars. De
mand in- Maine continues mod
erate with prices holding firm
at slightly above floor but with
some strengthening Indicated
early this week. Idaho offerings
are light because of the car
shortage with fair demand and
the markets slightly stronger at
above floor prices.
North Dakota demand con
tinues slow, market firm, prices
about 10 conts above floor for
the few reported sales of com
mercial stock. San Luis Valley,
Colorado has held in continued
moderate demand with the mar
ket steady but few sales due to
the car shortage. Prices are
about 9 cents under floor for
washed stock. Wisconsin re
ports too few sales to establish
a market, and practically no
haulings duo to weather condi
tions. Michigan demand con
tinues slow, with the market
dull and very few sales, mostly
at floor. Upstate New York has
had a slow demand, steady mar
ket, and prices about 5 cents
under floor, although some im
provement was noted toward the
end of the week.
Condition Unchanged
Conditions reported for New
York terminal are practically
unchanged from last week with
eastern stock continuing firm,
western stock dull. The market
for limited offerings of new sup
plies is unsettled. Chicago
terminal reports indicate very
light supplies, moderate demand,
with the market slightly
stronger.
Firming of markets, where re
ported, has been due apparently
to the lack of cars to provide
supplies. Probably slightly
larger offerings would have held
markets without chnnae or even
at slightly lower levels but this
is not a matter lor mucn con
cern during the year-end trad
ing when retailers attention is
directed at fancy lines for the
holiday trade. Potatoes normal
ly work out at this time oi year
upon a routine basis.
Markets from- now on are ex
pected to be largely a matter of

able to moving shipments after
they are loaded. Long spoils of
bad weather will tend to cut
down car mileage and restrict
market supplies. At tills time
there appear no chance of re
lief from the car shortage al
though movomont of shipments
will do accelerated some when
the weather moderates In the
late wlntor or early spring.
Situation calls for best possible
use of every car available,

By way of Illustration, army

from Idaho producing areas. Re

cars dally, Navy stored sup
plies of several million bushels

army and navy could use more
potatoes if they, could get them

French Deal Underway
The French deal Is underway
with one boat, diverted from
the Belgium deal, already
cleared from Portland, Maine,
and a second boat loading this
week at Baltimore. As of Wed
nesday, this second boat was
only about a third loaded with
bad weather and car shortage
holding up a lurgo part of the
other 200 carloads needed to
complete the cargo. Movement
of the potatoes contracted to
the French upon the basis of
ability to got them loaded on
ships is important as it will clear
up between 4 and 6 million
bushels of our surplus if we can
get the .potatoes moved.
Deal with the Canadians has
progressed nicely. Possibility
of the Canadians taking more
potatoes than the original 41
million bushels contracted
hinges both upon willingness of
the Canadians to subsldlzo ad
ditional quantities of Imports
and upon our ability to furnish
the cars with which to move
them. Car officials in Washing
ton say enough cars could be
provided to move considerable
quantities to Canada, in excess
