EMEVATORS VS GRAIN SACKS. 
The grain crop of this State in now esti¬ 
mated as follows: Total area seeded to 
grain. 3,7H(),BB4 acres, which might ho 
roundly classified ns ‘2.850,000 in wheat, 
000 , 110(1 in barley, 150,000 each in oats 
and corn. Taking the lowest estimate, 
tlulifmniii would hare- 57,000,01)11 bushels 
• >f wheat, ‘24,000,000 hurley, (1,000.000 oala, 
and 7,500,000 corn, in all, 04,000,000 
bushels; or lake the average of wheat, 
bailey, etc., nil round; n-> being only 20 
lutahelu to the aero, 75,817,820 bushels,

industries of the people, and ought to be 
utopped. An elevator should tm built at 
Wilmington, auntb«r in Lue Angeles, and 
another iu San Fernando. A1J grain ear¬ 
ned on the cars should he removed m

old method. Our grain farmers' arc

shipping hi bulk, ami handling by eleva¬
