EFFORTS TO RELIEVE MARKET SITUATION TO BE MADE FRIDAY Railroads Will Be Asked to Re duce Demurrage Charges on Crain at Terminals Minneapolis, Aug. 22.—</T> —Efforts to relieve the unfavorable situation created in the present crop move ment in the northwest by the nine day embargo announced yesterday on barley, rye and oats shipments will be made here Friday by the railroads, the grain trade and business interests, it was announced today. Executives of railways, members of the northwest shippers’ advisory board and business interests will meet Fri day in a conference, at which spokes men for the grain trade will ask rail roads to reduce demurrage charges which must be paid on grain not un loaded within 48 hours after arrival at the terminal market. The grain interests will ask the railroads to cut their demurrage charges to $1 a day, as provided by the emergency clause in the demur rage provisions of the interstate com merce act. Permission of the inter state commerce commission would be necessary to apply the emergency clause. The railroads will be asked to keep the sl-a-day rate in effect until Sept. 30, when it is believed the peak of the grain rush will have passed. Both railway officials and spokes men for grain marketing companies declared today the situation, from the farmers’ viewpoint, is not as serious as it appears to be. Country elevators in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, they said, are filled on the average from one-half to two-thirds of their peak working capacity. This means, these officials said, that if necessary the line and inde pendent and farmer-owned elevators at grain-shipping towns can increase their total grain in storage by at least cne-third. The available space *s roughly estimated at 80,000.000 bushels which country elevators can accept without becoming gorged. GRIMSON RESTRAINS BUILDING OF BRIDGE Rules No Emergency Exists in Minot and Orders Injunc tion Made Permanent Minot, N. D., Aug. 22.—Ruling against the contention that an emer gency existed, under which the board of Ward county commissioners claimed the authority to contract for the construction of a bridge across the Mouse river near Oak park, without petition and call for bids, Judge G. Grimson of Rugby Tuesday made permanent an injunction, re taining the board and P. L. Elliott, Minneapolis contractor, from pro ceeding with its costruction. The decision of the judge was fav orable to the position taken by K. M. Haas, A. A. Schultz, and D. B. Huston, plaintiffs in the case, who asked for the injunction on the grounds that the county board did not follow the statutes in attempting to award a contract to Mr. Elliot, without advertising for bids. Although prior to rendering his decision Judge Grimson had declared his belief that the commissioners acted in good faith in the attempted award of the contract, he ruled that the contract attempted was illegal and void. In declaring that no emergency existed, as contemplated under the emergency statute, Judge Grimson held that the condition of the bridge was foreseen. He also cited testi mony brought forth in the recent hearing on the case, from which it was evident that the board permit ted the bridge to be used for heavy gravel hauling for nearly J)0 days after the alleged danger was dis covered.

TO URGE FINISHING OF HOGS Barlay It Worth More if Uttd for Hog Feed, Survey Shows Officials Reports from authoritative sources in practically every county of North Dakota Indicate that there is no Jus tification for shipping premature livestock to market this fall and the Greater North Dakota association is launching an immediate campaign of publicity to urge farmers to finish their hogs, the association announced today. James S. Mmoy, secretary of the association, and B. E. Groom, chair man of its agricultural development committee, have just completed a tour covering several hundred miles and the Information they gathered is augmented by written reports re ceived by the association In response to a request for information sent out last week to some 50 men throughout the state. “In only a very few isolated spots in North Dakota does the feed situ ation demand selling of premature livestock and it is not likely that there will be much more than a pro per weeding out of boarders in these sections,” the association announces. “This, as a matter of fact, is a good thing. The association Is preparing posters and booklets to be broadcast over the state immediately for the purpose of encouraging farmers to market their barley in the form of finished hogs.

The Aug. 1 government esti mate of barley production In the state ! indicates a total production of 38,- 136,000 bushels as compared with an average production of 32,949,000 bush els for the past five years.” In Its analysis of the situation and lin material going Into the publicity matter being sent out, the association points-out that barley Is worth ap proximately one dollar a bushel if marketed in the form of pork. This conclusion is reached by noting that a feeder hog of 100 pounds would bring $lO at the outside. If the hog is fed 10 bushels of barley, which at current prices would represent $4.80, ! and 30 pounds of tankage at a cost of $1.20, the total cash involved would be sl6. The result would be a fat hog of 200 pounds which would sell for approximately $22, assuming that i prices take a normal seasonal trend. The difference would be $6. making the 10 bushels of barely worth SIO.BO instead of $4.80. Indicating a return : of one dollar a bushel for the barley.
