ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP MAKES TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
M
TUPESUING TUE COOP
" CHICAGO — The 170,000,000
bushels wheat surplus, which was
the csuse of the National Wheat
Conference being called here by the
I governors of seven states, is only a
' mental factor in the present mar
ket, on account of the probable lack
at earn to move the crop. It was de
clared hare by James B. Howard,
jttesklant of the National Trans
portation institute, in an address
to a grain shippers conference.
“There will be between 650,000
and 600,000 car loads of wheat to
be moved this fall, according to
government crop reports," said Mr.
Howard. “There was a shortage
of 160,787 cars in October, 1922,
and the railroads are straining
every effort now to make up that
shortage. Meanwhile traffic fore
casts for the year have been ex
ceeded up to June first by 400,000
car loads and in the latter part of
June were .exceeding estimates
more than 40,000 car loads a week.
The roads were loading at that time
1,010,000 cars a week, the'highest
loadings in history for that time of
the year and within 8,639 care of
tlte highest loadings ever carried by
the railroads. The previous peek
for that period waa (75,000 can a
week in 1918.
“This 170,000.000 bushel wheat
surplus is nothing but a theory if
it can't be brought to ins ' '' “
Mr. Howard. "It wou
000 cars to move this i

LOSSES IN MEAT
THROUGH BRUISED
STOCK DECREASES
CHICAGO, July 2H.—Of the 12,
| 125,36s- head of cattle killed in 1922
in 68 of the principal markets of
litis country, 1,498,256 were bruised,
but the loss of meat from this cause
.averaged a half pound a head as
I compared with a pound a head loss j
I for beef animals killed in 1921, says j
i a report made public liy the Itli- i
nois Humane Society. j
I "The reduction shown is 50 per j
cent, and is attributed to the cam
[paign now on for the better hand
i ling of cattle in transit and in
; yards,” says the report.
| “As to losses in transit,” the re
port continues, "returns from eleven
Western markets from which the
principal statistics were obtained
show there was a slight decrease in
losses in 1922 as compared with
31-21. This is gratifying for the rea
son that tlie railroads, on account
if strikes and other causes, had a
difficult proposition to keep their
service at anything like standard
tp. 1921.
"In the bruised meat campaign
the figures us to hogs for 1922 do
t,ot show up as well. In 1921 the
loss of meat on account of bruises
averaged one-tenth of a pound to
fctnh hog. This figure was based
on returns from I! markets. How
evir, in 1922 we extended oar cam
paign to cover 68 markets and the
e. t,mated loss per hog was figured
if a quarter pound. It is believed
thiit the increased loss occurred in
tin- 15 new markets where the cam
paign to reduce loss had not been
in full swing."
