U. S. CORIV BINS IM lUIIMOIS 



The first government steel bin erected in Illinois for 

 storing corn from the sealed granaries of farmers, was erected 

 last month in Shirley, McLean county. The bin — a circular 

 structure made of strips of galvanized steel bolted together — 

 is one of 10,000 to 15,000 to be put up in the state. 



More than 25,000 bins have been purchased by the AAA 

 for country-point storage of corn delivered by farmers in 

 payment of loans. This com will be held until needed for 

 livestock feed in areas where it was grown or until the prict 

 of corn justifies moving it into regular channels. Although 

 bins provide storage space, farmers are urged to hold title to 

 their corn by renewing loans.

 team exerts a force of 4000 pounds in winning 

 a pull.. Who knows how many horsepower 

 that would be?
