To Have Govt Elevators
The Union Star of Broolcneal, Vir
ginia, of recent date, ^quoting another,
says:
One of the great wheat producing
countries of the world, the ArgmHt^
republic, is about to try an experi
ment is government ownership that
will be, if not entirely new, at least,
more extensive in its line than has'
ever jfeeen ttaSefl before.
The wheat raisers of Argentina
have .suffered greatly op account of
insufficient elevator facilities. As a
result, the grain is often piled up on
the ground ®nd' sofcjeetod t® «he
weather. This naturally results in a
good deal of damage to the grain.'
The speculators then come along and'
offer to buy the wheat at the low
est prioe ferr faatMy ikmmged grain.
As these speculators are the only,
buyers having effected a complete
combine, the farmers are compelled
to take wSwt they offer. 'Are spec
ulators, or grain buyers' combine,
then takes the wheat, grades it, and
as there is a large proportion of
it that is very little, If any at dll,'
damaged, ithfe comtene nntbes sn error
