The chief business to be considered jis that of transportation for the bumper crop now nearing maturity in the region covered by the board's activities. Estimates of production ‘of various grains will be received from men who have been making a | careful study of conditions as they exist, After a careful survey of these estimates the board will advise the railroads regarding the numbe ef cars which probably will be necded to handle the grain movément in Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana. Estimates Are Important Crop estimates compiled by the board will be watched with especial El interest since, in the past, they have always proved to be unusually accur- ate, Commenting on the situation as it appears now, J. F. Reed, general chairman of the board, said: “There is every indication that a maximum of transportation effort is going to be required this fall to move the crops. There is a great deal depend- ing on their successful movement, not only to the producer but to all business interests of the Northwest. It is very necessary, therefore, that a good representation of all interests connected with this movement be present and ready to render all ad- vance assistance possible in clearing the pathway and seeing that it is not obstructed during the season. This meetipg furnishes the last oppor- tunit® for this before we enter the peak stage.” Reports will be received on condi- tions in Minnesota, the Dakotas and, Montana, on the general transporta- tion situation in the districts as well as the grain car situation, on grain lines in grain cars and similar trans- portation matters.
