indicates

that

A'

in

would
be
a
good

from

Whether

Appar
ent
an
insidious
propaganda
has
been
carried
on
against
tho
western
route
and
an
effort
has
been
made
to
show
that
shippers
do
not
get
as
good
treatment
in
the
west
as
hi
the
east.
The
re-
ull
has
been
that
with
A
bumper
crop
and
with
increased
facilities,
little
more
business
has
been
done
so
far
than
was
done
by
the
one
elevator
in
the
H23-21
season.
Against
this
effort
to
retain
the
business
in
the
east.
western
ports
will
have
to
unite.
There
is
apparently
plenty
of
business
for

through
its
natural
channels,
but
the
uiouied
inlerests
in

are
uniting
in
their
efforts
lo
re
tain
the
trade
and
to
keep
the
