As I remarked before, the turning of th 

 problem into i\ hardy annual is not advancing its solu- 

 tion a whit. Then- is no other solution than elevators, 

 because the whole difficulty is brought about by nain- 

 taining artificial conditions of trading whieJi wiM dis- 

 appear as if by magic once the problem is properly 

 understood and properly remedied. 



The day that proper cereal deposits, elevators, 

 grain silos, or wheat binns on modern and scientiiic lines 

 are put down in this country the sack question will no 

 longer exist, any more than will half a do/en other ap- 

 parently insolvable questions concerning 1 our rural 

 prosperity, and which inflict on us unwarranted losses. 



The Government can finish with the sack question 

 one? and for all by undertaking ah elevator pro 

 irra mine, either on its own account or offering suck 

 facilities that private enterprise will find it as remu- 

 nerative as anv other line of investment.
