supply is ready under wary to take
care of the annual rush of grain
loading, which begins with the
opening of the harvest season in
this great winter wheat area, offi-
cials of the Santa Fe Railway an-
nounced today. Present orders are
for movement' of a minimum of
18,000 box cars’ by July 1st from
eastern and southern roads to sup-
plement the supply already on
western lines. No other mass move-
ment of ears compares with that
